Get that metabolism fired up first thing! Work out in the mornings if you can, but never so late at night. I had the same trouble when I would try to work out late. An added bonus to working out early - and there are conflicting reports about this, but it makes perfect sense to me - working out before you've consumed a…

I've lost a few from running too. I run about 30 miles per week and this is common if you run down hills or just run a lot OR have shoes that are too small. Your push-off on each step and landing for each step is somehow making your toe hit the inside of your shoe repeatedly. THe best thing I ever did was go get fitted for…

I promised to post my measurements so here they are! Good luck to everyone! Chest: 36 Waist: 33 Hips: 41 Upper Thigh: 25.5 Lower Thigh (Above Knee): 16.5 Bicep: 11.5 Neck: 13 I tend to lose weight from the top and bottom of my body with the middle going last. Uggggghhhh

There are several articles on the subject of flat vs. contoured shoes. I run quite a bit and have found that anything with a high incline gives me terrible shin splints and hip pain. For basic working out - aerobic exercises and the like - I use shoes just to keep from slipping. I have a high arch and using shoes with…

Definitely buy smaller ones. Even Jillian uses 3 lb weights in Workout #2. I use 2.5 lb weights because that's what I have at home other than 5 and 10 lb. I sometimes have to set them down to finish the exercises, so no shame in getting smaller weights. Good luck to you!

Stay on the outer edges of the market because that's where all the most healthy stuff is - Dairy, fresh meat, produce, etc.. as you work your way in you find all the pre-processed Frankenfoods that you need to avoid. Learn to read those labels and learn what a serving size really looks like. My favorite items: Jenny-O…

Thanks! I opened up the diary. I'm still very confused about whether or not to consume the calories that I've burned. I'm in a calorie deficit most days which I thought was the goal. 3500 calories = 1 pound so I was aiming to be in a deficit of 6000-7000 per week. Am I doing it all wrong? I've also noticed that I'm…

I log it as aerobic exercise - low impact - for the number of minutes you worked out.

I never thought I would workout a lot, but once I got started I loved the way it made me feel so I just kept doing it. If you keep up with your walking, you might just be able to advance to jogging or cycling and burn more calories in less time. I give fitnessa minimum of an hour of my day, 6 days per week. As a full time…

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! As I exercise should I really be increasing my fat intake to compensate? Are those goals reliable? They just seem so high.
