What I Can't Understand....
You know, I can't understand how there are so many people on this site who say they have weight to lose and yet claim that they aren't hungry or can't eat all 1900 calories they are supposed to in one day. How the heck did these folks get overweight in the first place if they can't manage to eat 1900 calories in a day?!? I…

Eating before workout
I work out with a trainer twice a week (half hour) and then go to the gym another 4 days a week (most of the time). I prefer to go in the mornings before work, and I really don't want to eat anything before I do my work out because I get nauseous if I do...I have water when I get up in the morning first thing, but not…

Too many exercise calories????
I am allowed 1200 calories per day. I exercise probably 5-6 days a week and burn anywhere from 400-750 calories during a workout. Of course, all of those burned calories are added for my calorie intake for the day. If I end up with 1900 calories to eat, that just seems like too much to me. I have a hard time consuming that…

What to do with too many calories?
Hey everyone. I know this has been a topic before, but I'm a little lost at what I should do. I have recently started Zumba, and although I know I need to get a heart monitor to be a lot more specific, I am burning a lot of calories (at least 600) since it's a 75-90 minute class. I just started doing it, and I was really…

What to eat?
I'm sure this is a question that's already been answered and has a link, but I can't find it. So I'm going to ask it. :grumble: Can I eat anything, as long as I stay within/under my alloted calories? Today we had BBQ, I had boneless skinless chicken breast, corn on the cob, a small serving of rippled potatoe chips, a…

Reebok Easy Tone shoes
I just read about these shoes that have air pockets in them and it helps to tone your legs and butt!! Anyone have them or have you heard anything good about them. Sounds pretty neat to me, but they are $110 which I think is a little pricey esp. if they don't work b/c they aren't the most attractive pair of shoes. Let me…

Digital scale vs traditional scale
Does anyone else get frustrated with digital scales? I'll step on my digital scale three different times in one setting and get three different readings. It comes up 148 lbs at the first try...then 145.5 at the next...and 148.5 at the last try. The readings have been off as much as 4 or 5 lbs sometimes. How can I tell…
