  • 1200 calories is not very many calories if you are exercising each day. How much are you exercising? I've found that I have to enter in fewer calories burned for the exercise than what is typically reported. I've been exercising for years, so I think my body is more efficient at burning calories (ex. typically, the…

  • I'm trying to lose the last 5-7 lbs. (AGAIN- urgh!) I'm an avid runner and have been for years. 3 weeks ago, I started doing Supreme 90 day. This is a cheap version of P90X. I bought it at Bed Bath and Beyond for $20.00. I LOVE it! The workouts are about 30, plus a 5 min warm up and 5 min cool down (40 min. total most…

Each wk they offer 1 free…

I think I have stabilized and will have to eat fewer calories, or more exercise to meet my goal.…

  • I have read many times that a good general rule for a healthy weight is 5 feet = 100 lbs, and then add 5 lbs for each 1 inch over 5 feet tall. So 5'9 would be 145 for the recommend weight, BUT everyone is certainly different and has different bone structure, etc. I'm 5'10 and currently 147, my goal is 140-143 ish. I do NOT…
