  • I think it depends on how much you're trying to lose and what your goals are. I did ww a few years ago and was only allowed the least amount of points per day because of my weight. I'm a runner so it left me very hungry because I would be done with my points by lunch! I have not tried anything by Jillian but I hear good…
  • I'm up for the challenge :) I've been trying to lose weight for awhile now and have been yo-yo-ing around the same 3-4 pounds so this will hopefully push me to really lose it. Today is day #1! Starting weight: 136 Goal weight: 125
  • I usually can get to about 4-5 miles then I feel it. And I know I should hydrate during working out but it makes my stomach hurt if I drink while running. Maybe I'll try the gum I never thought of that...
  • I hear ya on the confusion. But it's all in what works for you. Over last summer, I had a personal trainer for 3 months who I saw once a week. She would put me through a half hour of lifting hitting multiple body parts each session. Then I would do cardio after. I was told to do lifting first then cardio when you do them…

  • There are plenty of things you can try to make this work: 1. I agree with moving your alarm clock. If your problem is getting out of bed, this may be the only way to change that. 2. Are you getting enough sleep? The reason you are hitting snooze so much might be due to lack of sleep. A good 8-8.5 hrs is essential to weight…
  • I had a trainer tell me that you should eat your carbs earlier in the day and not at night. Due to the fact that you're body needs the energy from the carbs in the morning and early afternoon and not at night cause you're not doing as much. I actually tried doing no heavy carbs (pasta, bread, potatoes, etc) with my dinner…
  • Fries! I cut out fried food just for the plain fact that it's bad for you no matter what. I really haven't 'given' up anything. I just try to eat things in moderation or I pick a healthier version: reduced fat or fat free cheese and I stick to proper serving sizes, lite beer or wine only twice a month, bread I can't go…
  • I had my goal set for 1.5 lbs per week loss. I just switched it to 1.0 lbs per week loss and it changed me from 1200 calories a day to 1390. I'm going to try this out for a little and see if I feel better. So far over the past week I lost 1.2 lbs but I have been going over the 1200 mark and I've been increasing my running…
  • Thanks everyone! The days I work out gives me about 600 calories back from cardio which is great. So maybe the days that I don't workout I can change the amount of calories I can have for the day since I won't be burning as much? Or would that not help me lose weight?
