  • I would love to know as well! I have been at it for a couple weeks and the biggest things is actually seeing what you are eating! It is crazy what a serving is and how much more I was eating. You have to find the foods you like and know you will actually eat. I bought a food scale and measure everything out the night…
  • You may not be burning as much as you think you are. I just recently bought a HRM and found out I burn about half of what the machine says.
  • --Do you use it often? Every workout! --Do you find that the calories it says you burn are way off than, say, the machines at the gym? Calories are way lower, almost half when compared to the machine! --Any zumba lovers love their heart rate monitor and can share their stats and what they typically burn in a class? I don't…
  • For those of you who use the iPhone app which one do you have? I want to start C25K but there are so many options. If you don't have the app what do you use?
  • I am a college student and my advisor sent an e-mail with a job listing. I decided to apply for the heck of it. Over a month later I got a call, I was very confused when she called becasue it was so long ago! Two interviews later I have a great job with my own office! They are super flexable with my school schedule and…
  • I have heard low carb as well as very low dairy. It is amazing how many grams of carbs are in foods you wouldn't expect! A large part of PCOS is being insulin resistant, essentially you do not want your blood sugar to spike.

  • I did the video for the first time on Monday and my HRM read about 200 calories.
  • My profile pic is my baby Lilly, we rescued her just over a year ago. I can't imagine why any one would give her up. She is a Beagle/pit mix and so clearly shows each part of her mix. She is very protective and muscular just like a pit but loves to follow her nose and howl like a Beagle.
  • Anyone else from Alaska? My boyfriend and I sepnd about 150 a week shopping and that does not include a once a month Sams trip for a 100 to 150. I never realized how much more expensive things are, just as a referance, on sale, a container of strawberries is $2.50 and a gallon of milk about $3.50. What is it for you all?
  • Recently I have been using a cup of the soy slender milk in cappuccino and a scoop of the biggest looser vanilla protein powder. It is AMAZING! tastes just like an iced coffee, goes down smooth and only 120 calories and lots of protein. I have also heard of blending the powder with strawberries and water. They all taste…
  • Yasmin is the one and only birthcontrol I have been on. I was prescribed it at 15 for acne ( never quite worked) and am still on it at 21. I have never had any side effects, it seems all birth controls have similar issues. What other onese have you had good success with? There are so many out there!
  • Right this moment i am eating carrot sticks and ranch dip (light sour cream and powered ranch mix). Super yummy and awesome when it is so hot out!
  • I am new as well and would love to loose 80! Eating is super hard so the best thing is to be prepared. I try to portioning everything out ahead of time! Now that it is summer there is so much fruit and veggies!
  • For everone that missed it, you can watch it on Hulu aswell. I am so curious why she became a PE teacher, i hated PE me entire life! Love this show!
  • Hi everyone, i would love to loose 100 to 120 pounds. I don't even know what I would look like at that weight! I can use any support and would love to give some as well. Right now I go to Planet Fitness 5 days a week after work and am trying to stay as low carb as possible due to the possibility of having PCOS. Anyone else…
