Using hand weights = lifting??
Might be a stupid question, but would using hand weights (dumbbells) instead of a barbell/machines work for "lifting"? All these posts about lifting success has me wanting to try it but currently only have access to dumbbells.

Anyone else doing it or has done it? Just started with their 3rd one and was curious to see results from others :)

Is there such a thing as too many nuts?
I've cut down on carbs (no bread, rice, sweets etc.) but have been eating fruits and nuts. Lots of nuts to combat the snacking and hunger. Would this be why I'm not seeing any improvement in my belly and hip area? I do 30 day shred 5x/week and zumba 4x/week.

Bodymedia Core AND hrm watch??
Might be a silly question, but can I wear them both at the same time? The Core doesn't show me the calories instantly while working out (unlike the Link). With my HRM watch, I can see it (instant gratification !)

Your lowest cal snack that satisfies you??
I like ak mak's if I'm not cutting carbs. (115 for 5 pieces) OR I have been eating low cal/fat cheddar cheese sticks at 70 per between meals if I start to feel hungry. I'd love to get more ideas. I do love nuts but they can add up quickly!

Just bought BodyMedia Fit Core and need help
Got it at costco and it says it includes a 6 month subscription. I'm trying to sign up on the website but can't seem to find any code regarding the free subscription or is there no need to enter one? There's a spot to enter a code and I don't want to do "Don't have a subscription or promo code?" if I should have one.…

Feeling so discouraged :(
I've changed my eating habits, watched my calories, exercised every day (30DS) and Zumba every 2-3 days. It's been 20 days and I don't see any difference. Not in the scale and especially in pictures. I had my DH do side by side pictures for before and afters. So far, I don't see a change :( Majorly bummed. p.s. I've…

Feeling discouraged (food and 30DS)
I'm on day 16 doing 30DS consecutively. I've been tracking my calories since ( about a week or two before starting shred) and drinking more water than usual. I have noticed my clothes fitting better but am very disappointed that there has been no change on my tummy/belly size :( It was the one thing that I really wanted to…

Weight gain?! And diet question
Im doing day 5 after this post but wanted to see if anyone else gained weight since starting. I know it's a mix of muscle mass and/or water retention but still disappointing to look at that scale :( Also, have any of you changed your diet? Like giving up carbs/sugar? Are you eating up to your recommended calories or less…

Pros and/or Cons of eating you exercise calories
I'm new to tracking calories. I've been reading up on everyone's take on the excess calories/day. For me, I have days where I go beyond my 1200 and sometimes, I go below. What's the better idea? Do I eat till I reach 1200? Will I see weight loss? Do I leave it be and hope my metabolism doesn't go whack? My exercise…
