Help...my hair is falling out and wont grow
I am getting worried it may be something serious. I take vitamins (Hair Skin & Nails specifically) and Omega 3. I read this was suppose to help. It has not. My hair has not grown an inch in at least the past 6 months (thats not normal as it use to grow unusually fast) and now I lose tons of hair every day. Any ideas?

Yo-Yo ing
I started here last year. Then fell off the wagon. Came back. Fell again. Now back again. I gained back 7 lbs. Not too bad seeing as how I didnt work out or eat right for 6 months. But Im super motivated this time and ready to drop the weight. I went vegetarian and started working out. I am going to log all food and…

P90X
On day 30 of P90X. It is fun and challenging! I see big changes and have lost 12.25 inches since I started. 3 inches in my waist alone! I am having trouble eating enough tho and it is affecting the workouts. Some burn 400-600 calories per 60 min workout and I am having trouble eating even 1200 calories per day. Need to get…

sabotaging myself :(
After a stressful week/week and a half, I am not able to eat. I have been way under on my calories for awhile now and cannot seem to bring them up. I am continuously under 1000 calories and since I cannot eat I am not exercising. I dont want to burn any if I cant even eat my minimum calories set at 1200. Plus, when I…

Weighing?
I have set a goal to only weigh once a month because I dont want to be devastated if it hasnt moved as much as I want it to. Is this impractical? Should I weigh once a week instead to have a better idea of how I am doing? I dont want to be led by the number on the scale. I pay attention to how my clothes feel and use that…

Just Cannot Seem To Eat
I have been way under my calories for a week now. Food does not sound good and if I eat when I am not hungry I will get sick. How can I sneak in a few extra calories? How long can I last on 600-800 calories before starvation mode kicks in? I certainly dont want that!! I have little time to lose my weight so I dont have…

Ripped in 30 Questions
I only did 3 days last week, then disaster struck, so I missed the other 3 days of week 1. Should I stay on week one for a few more days or go ahead to week two since that is where I am suppose to be now? Would week 2 be too much since week one left me sore all 3 days? This is my first time thru the DVD so I dont know what…

Beef Recipes pls?
I have 2 packages of beef stew meat and a lot of hamburger. I am out of ideas. Plus I am on a strict 1200 calorie a day diet. So my meals are 300-400 calories. I am doing Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 which comes with a meal plan. However, I cannot eat fish so I need ideas for replacement meals. Any good ones are greatly…

Cant make calorie goal today
Today is has been a rough day. Just dont feel like eating or working out. I know depression days are the ones where it is most important to exercise and eat right. But I dont think I am going to be able to. Did some homework, now back to bed. Anyone else ever feel this way?

cold chills during workout
I have not worked out in 2-3 years (awful for someone who use to spend 2-3 hours a day in the gym and love it). Today I did Jillian Michaels 30 day shred for the second day and got cold chills. Pretty sure I was close to blacking out. AND that was doing a modification of the modification. Hope it gets better soon!!

Have more to lose than I thought :(
I didnt weigh myself before starting this website a few weeks ago. Now I know I should have. I weigh 5 lbs more than I thought. Not too bad I know but it adds 5 lbs I need to lose. And I only have a short time to reach goal to begin with. Question: how do I change how many pounds I need to lose on my ticker? I could not…

30 day shred

It also comes with an easy to follow meal plan, including recipes, and many meal choices that are actually yummy. So here we go...45…

2nd Day of 30 Day Shred
Jillian Michaels killed me. I almost had to have hubby call 911. But I got thru it and am about to do day two workout. Will not let soreness keep me away because it will just happen again if i do. The 30 day meal plan (that is free with the 9.97 video!!!) is easy to follow and has many many different choices. So I am going…

Burnt my healthy dinner
Meat and veggies in oven...too hot for too long. So I am having peanut butter n jelly (very little jelly and on whole wheat toast). It is about the same calories. Is this a poor or ok substitute? I am pressed for time because I leave for school in 20 min.

Daily Food Journal on Fitness Pal
I entered my food and exercise. The diary keeps a total but it added back in the calories I burn from exercise. I cant eat what I burn off or I will never lose weight. How do I keep it from doing that?

New here but not new to dieting
I am 38 yrs old. I quit smoking 4 years ago (Nov 27, 2007 to be exact) and since then have put on a significant amount of weight. As a smoker I was small (often I even heard I was TOO SKINNY). Well, I dont hear that anymore. I have lost 20 lbs over the last few months but have at least 40 to go. Started a food journal…
