This website has a calculator to determine your frame size. Not sure how accurate it is, but it's interesting to try. http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/fsz

Jillian Michaels has some great lower ab exercises. Her six week six pack will make you feel the burn, as well as her No More Trouble Zones.

If you wear a neck guard around your face while running you won't get the dry cough and sore lungs.

I live in Alaska and run outside year-round. To prevent slips and falls I would recommend getting a pair of winter running shoes. They have cleats on the bottom and a special rubber that keeps you from falling even on ice. The downside is they start at $170. However, I believe it's worth it. As far as clothes go, I learned…

I make oatmeal shakes with it. Add a banana, skim milk, ice, and cinnamon. It tastes great. You can also freeze it to make shakes later.

The heart rate monitor is MUCH more accurate than your treadmill. My elliptical calculates that I burn twice as many calories as my hrm does (I own a polar as well). The hrm goes by your heart rate, and I am guessing that your treadmill does not. Go by the hrm. You definitely didn't waste your money.

I always suggest drinking a glass or two of water when you feel hungry. This is because a lot of times your body will confuse dehydration for hunger. If 15 minutes later you are still hungry, then you should eat something. I make a point of drinking at least 10 cups of water a day and it helps suppress "hunger" a lot.

My mother recently had the same issue. She started drinking protein shakes to make up for the lost calories. After one week of no exercise, she couldn't deal with it anymore and started by jogging for ten minutes. If she felt ok after that then she kept going. If you feel up to exercising, then I say give it a shot. Just…

You aren't eating enough to fuel your body.

I have it and like it as well. Best part is that they have specific sections called 3 ingredient meals, purposely intended to be quick and easy. You can take a look at recipes on the hungry girl website to make sure you like before you buy too. Also, have you looked at www.eatingwell.com? This is a great site for healthy…

Its definitely from change in diet then. Your body should adjust to the increase in fiber (healthy foods naturally have more fiber than processed ones). I would give it a week, and if you aren't better by then see a doctor.

I am right there with you. I love both running and jillian michaels videos. I personally started out with the videos, which I did for about two months before I started running. I believe giving attention to my muscles first helped me ease into doing both running and the workouts. Now, I use the videos as a warm up before…

I don't live there, but you have to go see the Fremont troll! Fremont itself is an awesome place to visit, you can see great pieces of art on every street corner (such as a statue of lenin), and visit some interesting shops along the way. Every time I visit Seattle I spend at least an afternoon there.

If it is the bottom of the heel, then it sounds like plantar fascitis. This is not something to mess with! I have it and have to practically baby my foot. I would recommend going to a store that specializing in running/running shoes. They can tell you how to take care of your foot and get you the running shoes that best…

I am having the same problem and would like to hear from others with experience. I have a feeling once more weight is lost it will eventually go away. I have been doing the 6W6P and 30 day shred, which help, but don't make it disappear.

Go to a store that specializes in running shoes. You will end up paying a little more money for your shoes (good running shoes are around $100), but it will be so worth it! I made the initial mistake of buying some cheapo running shoes at Fred Meyer and ended up getting plantar fasciitis because of it.

Has anyone noticed their winter hats or ball caps feeling loose? I didn't know that head size could shrink with weight loss, but I swear all of my hats are too big now!

Thank you for sharing this! I am having the in-laws over for a bbq this weekend and have been looking for a healthier version of potato salad.

Jillian Michaels 6 Week 6 Pack and Jillian Michaels No More Twouble Zones! 6W6P is about 25 minutes including warm-up and cool down. NMTZ is longer, about 50 minutes, BUT you can do just a couple of the circuits instead of all of them. I LOVE these videos because the tone up muscles (I never knew I had a six pack under all…

I brew my coffee the night before and keep it in my fridge. I think iced, or cold, coffee tastes better. Another bonus to drinking iced coffee is that your body burns more calories when you drink cold beverages than when you drink warm ones!

I weigh all of my food too. Guests always think I'm nuts when they see the scale sitting on the counter :)

I have been told by doctors if the cold is neck up then it's safe to exercise. However, if it's a chest issue then don't exercise!

What if you made the burgers with lean ground turkey? Then you can have buns for the picky eaters and you could do yours lettuce wrapped. I have fed these to a mens softball team before and they had no idea it wasn't ground beef!

I log it in as general aerobics. The calories calculated by MFP for it are very close to what my HRM (with a chest strap) calculates during 30DS.

I was having that problem too. I started eating almonds, or other nuts, as snacks. They are healthy for you and carry enough calories to get you up to 1200.

After reading several posts on here, I recently decided to buy the Polar FT7. I have only had it for a week, but am already in love with it! At first, I was a bit nervous about spending $100 on a monitor, but it was well worth the money. If you are unsure, as I was, purchase one at REI. If you don't like it, you can return…

This may sound odd, but I use Baby excema lotion. You can find it down the baby aisle with the powders and other baby lotions (I get it at Fred Meyer). It's fairly inexpensive, one $6 tube lasts me about nine months. Every since I started using it, I haven't had dry skin problems. The best part is the ingredients are all…

Nordstroms has some sexy ones if you are willing to spend a little extra money.
