Good Morning all!

Tisha, it was great having you in chat last night!

could you all give me an opinion on this. something doesnt sound right.

I work with weights 45 minutes each weekday with different muscles. I am doing it good. Each day I do the following execpt Sunday9 Minutes of Boxing hitting the Heavy Bag9 Minutes of Shadow Boxing with 2 1/2 pound weights in each hand3 Minutes of Jumproping1 Hour shooting hoops outfront10 Minutes of shoulder exercises with 2 1/2 pound weights in each hand.60 reps of jumpting exercises.3 Minutes of Ab workouts
****
My Diet Plan.
I have all together about 200 ounces of water a day.Breakfast- BreadLunch- Tuna sandwhichSnack- Tuna SandwhichPre-Dinner- Little plate of spaghettiDinner- Rice and Chicken and VegatablesAnd i might have a grahm cracker...I also have gumThats my day, its about 1500-1700 Calories and lots of Carbs and Protein. Alot of people tell me I should be eating 2500-3000 Calories cause of the amount of exercise I am doing but if I do that I wont lose weight. My Goal is to lose 43 pounds by September.....

I don't exactly know why they suggest all those calories
 

Andrea,

If you want to lose weight, burn up more calories then you eat, simple as that. As long as you are eating healthy and eating enough to maintain a good metabolic rate and are not hungry, there is no reason to eat 2500 to 3000 calories. One of the wonderful things I have found about exercising is that I don't feel more hungry after I exercise. Therefore, I am getting my body going, getting my metabolism and circulation working better, burning calories, of course, and NOT eating more. Eating more would kinda defeat part of the purpose of my exericsing wouldn't it? Especially if one of the goals was weight loss. I believe in eating good food when hungry and not eating when not hungry, keeping in mind to always be getting enough water so that I am not eating when I am actually thirsty. I do not calorie count. So counting to get up to a certain amount of calories makes as little sense, probably less sense to me then counting to not go above a certain amount of calories.

thanks, but i didnt write that. i found it on another board. i just posted it here because i wanted opionions on this gentlemans exercise routine.

well it makes a little more sense now
 

I mean unless you were a very, very tall lady 2500-3000 calories wouldn't make sense. It makes more sense for a guy.

yea but that much activity is a disorder

No, I don't think so
 

A couple of things, he said he worked different muscles so lifting everyday is ok if you do that. Also it was 3 mins of jumproping and one hour of shooting hoops. At first I thought he said 1 hr of jumproping which IS sick. Shooting hoops is good but not excesive exercise. It is a lot of exercise but not a disorder :-) I am sure almost anything can be overdone and exericse certainly is one of them, but it doesn't seem that execisve.

Larry

Hey everyone, oh Andrea, I didnt know you were referring to someone else (should have known though) I do agree with Larry and you, that his activity is extremely high, and he does need more calories. Yes you do have to burn what you make, but you also need fuel to survive, and thus have a sensible workout.

How are you doing today, I know you dont like having to go to the gym so late, neither would I .. SOmetimes depending on how my son is doing, I have to wait til late..

Larry nice to have you up here, surprised to see you posting. do appreciate all your responses, I remember going to your thread, and you have done real well with losing all that weight. Do come back again!!!I

I am doing pretty good, just have to get my butt moving, I am going to do my tae bo, and a little bit of wieghts, and call it a day!! Well hope everyone is op, talk to you all later!!!

Latisia

hi tisha!

yea i definitely dont like the idea, but right now, i dont think there will be any other option as no one has called yet.

glad youre op. me too&am gonna lift today.

Hi, everyone.

Been really busy the last few days. Friday morning left for a Women's retreat at a baptist church camp. Eleven women from my church went. We had a really good time, except for not getting enough sleep.:dizzy:
Well I had my weigh in tonight only lost 1/2 lbs this week , but considering that I had 2 slices of pizza friday for lunch i did ok. Anyway I think I deserved it since I haven't strayed very much at all from my plan. I look at it this way, everyone needs a treat once in awhile, as long as it isn't too often:nono: .
T-girl, how's the tae bo going ? It takes a few days to catch on to all those moves. I'm still working on them, but getting better evertime.:sheep:
Here we go starting a new week, Hope everyone has a good week. Be strong and God Bless, bye for now

Hello everyone, and Betty tae bo is better now, Got myself in gear today, it does take awhile to perfect the moves!! I am still working on it, just moderate the moves, I am on tae bo 2 basic.. Congratulations on your loss!! SOund like you are doing very well, considering your hectic schedule, Nice to hear from you!!

Andrea, hey girl.. how was your day, did you get your late workout on>>?? I did, and I am so thankful for the motivation that was instilled today!! Hope everyone is OP, keep it up!!
