  • I agree with what everyone else has said. You should not only rely on a scale to gauge your progress; take measurements too! I went through both plans, cardio only and weight training only. I noticed a lot of weight loss in the cardio-only method and the scale was moving consistantly week to week. When I put that plan on…

  • I am a little behind on joining for the Red October Burn, but definitely count me in for whatever is in store for November.

  • Eating out at restaurants is tough, but there are always some meals that are better than others... that, or you can run to the restaurant, eat, then run back home!
