Muscle and Fat...if I build muscle does it kill fat?
I got told that if you build muscle under fat, it does nothing at all or you can't see a difference OR if you do, you look bigger than you started. Is that true? Or if I build muscle does it melt the fat and make you look smaller?

Keeping up with exercise..
Now, I eat pretty well. It's the activity that I need to work on. I used to be pretty damn consistent if I do say so myself, but since work has become so much more demanding, I come home exhausted and don't exercise like I should, despite I stay under my cal limit. I have about 4 more pants sizes to go until i'm at my goal…

Sudden realization... :D
As I was pouring my cereal into my bowl (eyeballing the measurement because I've been doing this so long <3 ), I thought back to my days when I would nearly fill the bowl ALL the way up, eat it all, and still feel the need for a "Second breakfast." Now I fill it to 3/4 of a cup, mark my calories, and am full for the next…

I went to the doctor!
I went to the doctor and got my pulse taken. It was set at 58 beats per minute. The doctor told me it was VERY good because people who work out a lot have pulses in the 50's. I was quite happy.

Yoga...ever done it? *Sorry I post so much ):*
I've been looking into yoga a lot more thoroughly lately and I'm curious to try it. I'm not flexible at all though. So do you have an DVD recommendations for a beginner? I was going to do yoga and kickboxing every other day in addition to 30DS. Does yoga also melt inches? Thank you all for all your help and I apologize for…

For once, I have an NSV. Now I have to work even harder!
So a cousin I met either last year or the year before at a family reunion and she and I were both in the process of losing weight. She was on Weight Watchers and I was just counting. Well, she and I made a bet that if I lose a certain amount of weight then she will fly me out to see her. She lives in Denver; however, it…

Banishing back fat with 30 day shred? I see no change.
ARGH. I'm still on level 1, so maybe that's the problem, but I've not seen ANY form a physical change yet and it's bother the heck out of me. I eat well and I do my work out and everything, but I'm still the same Kassie. The same fat Kassie with upper and lower back fat. I feel like I'm doing something wrong )': I know…

A size 6 is plus size...wtf.
I stumbled across and article on Yahoo! that said that in the model world a size 6 is "plus sized." What do you all think?

What are your SUPERFICIAL reasons for weight loss? (:
Now, I know for a vast majority of people is for health related purposes, but even along with health, I'm sure at least one of you wants to look fabulous/hot/etc or feel more confident, right? What are your reasons? Mine are: 1) I want to buy a mini dress for my 18th birthday in November 2) To go with that mini dress, I…

I'm not a stress eater...but I wish I was..help?
When I'm stressed, unlike many people, I don't eat. When I'm stressed or unhappy, I get physically ill. I get nauseous, dizzy, and overall sick. I gets to a point sometimes that I can't eat because it won't stay down. Lately, I've been pretty stress-free but last night some things happened and it stirred up the nausea. I…

My beau is worried I'm gonna forget him due to working out
It was quite sad, actually )': I told him that I took up kickboxing now, in addition to my other weight loss regimes, and he was like "I think you're taking this exercise thing too far." At first, it broke my heart. I was upset that he wasn't being supportive. But when I asked him why, he said he didn't want me to get…

What is a deficit?
The title about sums it up. Is it what you eat, or what you have left? I'm so hopelessly confused. And what is the business about eating back your calories you burned? Is that bad? Is that good?

Resting (or stopping) during a workout
Does that hinder results? Now, I know it does no good for your endurance, but as long as you complete the work out, can you expect to get the same results you would if you were to do it all consecutively? Thanks, and I'm sorry I post so much D': -Kassie

I don't understand pant sizing? How many inches are in them?
I honestly have no idea what pant size I wear. I think I'm a 15 juniors, 16 women's. But when it comes to losing inches, how many inches are in a pant size? 1? 2? My mother said 4 inches per pant size...God, I hope not. Anyway, I'm doing 30DS and I'm going on how clothes fit rather than all the measurements. So if I want…

Can you have visible abs if you have fat over them?
I'm not sure if what I see on my tummy are abs or if it's weird lighting. Can you have that you can see over your tummy if you have weight?

Another 30DS question. And then ANOTHER question.
First question is about 30DS. Is it okay to do the work out a different times each day? Because I did it at 6 this morning, but I'll probably have to do it around 1:30pm tomorrow. Does changing the time of the work out impact your results? Second question: What is the difference between exercise and fitness? I tried…

Day 1 of the 30 Day Shred...I didn't complete it ):
So, I decided I wanted to start my 30 day shred journey today. I was super excited and everything. I only made it to 15 mins and then I stopped. I feel HORRIBLE about it ): I was trying my best to push through, but I couldn't bring myself to do so. Tomorrow I'm going to try twice as hard, but regarding today, should I feel…

How do you push through a hard work out?
I started the 30DS today and I only made it halfway through. I want to complete it tomorrow, but I'm not sure how, exactly. I think I AM going to finish the latter half of the work out later in the day, but how can I push myself to complete the full 27 minutes tomorrow, pain, sweat, tears and all?

Dealing with a fickle significant other...help? ):
So my boyfriend is extremely supportive with what I'm trying to do with myself. He says he's happy I have goals and he's proud of what I lost; however, he did tell me that if I get visible abs he will not be with me because he thinks abs on a girl are gross and creepy. Now, it's obvious I'm going to have abs. That's a…

Should you before or after a work out?
I've always wondered this. I mean, you use food as fuel, but aren't you burning off the food and not fat if you eat before? Or are you supposed to do that?

30 Day Shred and the loss of inches that comes with it?
I keep putting off this work out, but tomorrow I AM doing it. My questions are how soon did you feel or see a change and how successful was it with getting rid of love handles/back fat/dunlap (tummy over-hang). My life goal is to be a size 8/9. I'm a 15/16 I believe. So is my goal doable? I want to hit that goal by…

Weight loss vs Inches loss. Which is better?
SO. Today after work I'm going to start that 30 Day Shred so I can look hot for the concert I want to go to in July. So I was wondering, which is better, weight or inches? A lot of people didn't lose much weight using the 30 Day Shred, but they sure did shrink! So..is weight not as important? ANDDDD. For those who have…

Ate WAYYYY over )':
Or, I believe I did. This month losing weight has been a battle from battling depression and stress. And today I over ate a lot. I had a homemade omelet (not too bad), a taco salad (pretty bad), and an ENTIRE 12" sub from Harris Teeter. I gained 2lbs since Monday when I weighted myself on Wed, so after that I'd been good.…

Red meats and diet sodas..
So, I work at the movies and i have access to UNLIMITED soda. I've decided yesterday that I'm going to stop drinking soda, diet or non but one cup a week. Is this smart? I had a bit of a headache yesterday from not having any. also, red meat. Why is it bad? I made an egg white and steak omelet (no cheese) with peppers and…

Hi :D Looking for some friends/supporters?
I'm Kassie and I've been battling with my weight for YEARS. Even as a kid, I was a chunky kid. I've tried to lose weight before, but this year it has actually been consistent. I've dropped 42 pounds (I say 44, but I gained 2 pounds since Monday). Not as much as I would have hopped but hey? It's all good. Anyway, I'm new to…

This 30 Day Shred..
I just ordered the DVD off of Netflix (haha my mom is gonna be mad because I'm making here keep this DVD for over a month). After reading all these success stories I'm SUPER excited. I'm 5'4 and I currently weigh somewhere between 208-206 I believe. What should I expect doing this? What do I need for it? And what is this…
