SO is it just me, or are you girls/guys getting injuries from 30DS? L3 has kicked my butt!

It feels like a cross between a…

Eating Back Exercise Calories.
I've been told, and I've heard, all sorts of different things about exercise calories. "Eat them all back" "Only eat half back!" "Don't eat ANY back!" I'm confused. I use an HRM(with the chest strap) and I'm burning 200-550 calories a day, doing 30DS six days per week, jogging 4-5 days per week. Wouldn't eating them all…

Plateau.
I'm getting desperate and I'm willing to try just about anything (just NOT pills, powders, etc) to start my weight loss back up. I'm 5'8 and I've been stuck from 160-167 for months and it seems like nothing is working. Even when I feel like I am doing everything right I either don't lose weight or I gain weight(its not…

Is Modeling "out of reach?"
