A Heart Rate Monitor is the only way to be even slightly accurate - calories burned will be dependent on how hard you "bring it" each day :)

Go to your profile and make sure that your "starting weight" is the same as your first "weigh in" weight. You must have set it 3 lbs lighter than your first weigh in.

Don't think of a diet as a temporary thing. Regulating how much you eat is a lifestyle change, not a fad. Vary your workout. Maybe take a break from jogging and try biking. Summer is here, so try swimming or rock climbing or hiking!

HIIT will increase your metabolism for hours after you do it. There are multiple variations of the on/off schedule (that vary from 4 seconds to 4 minutes either way!) but one of the most popular is the Tabata Method. 20 seconds at high intensity followed by 10 seconds at low intensity. Keep in mind that HIIT is a VERSION…

The sad thing is that for every good post on the mythological "starvation mode", there are 10 others where people are swearing they are gaining weight on an 800 calories per day diet. Thank you for posting. Also, next time could you post links to the article and study if you found them?

Exercising won't MAKE you lose weight. All it's going to do is burn calories and improve you cardiovascularly. If you want to lose weight, you need to make a caloric deficit of some kind. If you walk enough to burn 300 calories, and then eat 300 calories back after your walk, you aren't going to see much in the way of…

If I were you, I would look at the rate that you have lost that 17 pounds. Have you lost it at a rate of about 1 or 2 lbs per week? If so, I would eat back those calories you burn from your aerobics. You will still continue to lose weight at the rate you have been...once you start plateauing, THEN lower your intake 200-300…

Hello. I'm a 25 year old male currently dealing with his quarter-life crisis. I sort of take this quote from Snow Crash to heart: "Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest mother****er in the world. If I moved to a martial-arts monastery in…
