Logging videos
How would I log doing a Jillian Michaels video? Are the videos already in the database or would I have to wear a monitor or something and then log the calories burned?

advice about dating again
My ex husband moved out last December and the divorce was final in April. He is clearly over things and moved on with his new girlfriend (to be honest I don't think he was ever really into the marriage... but that's another story). I was with him for 13 years. I know that's not long in the grand scheme of things. But, the…

Whats the difference between...
An arc trainer and an elliptical machine? I did an arc trainer today at the gym. I plugged in my weight and age. It said i burned 400 cals in 45 min on the weight loss program. Usually i do the elliptical in the weight loss program for a half hour and burn about 250. I just didnt know if one was better than the other. I…

Believe a psychic?
So, my friends took me to see a psychic for the first time a couple of months ago. And some of the things she said happened. Now, I know it's all in what you want to believe and what you put into it. My ex husband hurt his ankle in a bar fight. I didn't tell anyone because I thought it was kind of embarassing that he's 36…

mental support!
I am going through a rough divorce. The husband has decided to leave me. He said it wasn't working out. It's not like we were dating for 2 months. We were married for 8 years (almost 13 all together) and have 2 kids. I admit to putting the children before him and that is a huge problem I have to work on. But when things…

Why cheat? (venting)
Why the hell do people cheat? I mean I understand but why wouldnt a person just leave the relationship instead? Five years ago my husband said he cheated on me. Being the stupid person I am I believed him when he said it wouldnt happen again. And, I realized I had done things to push him away. So I wanted to take…

Training for Full Marathon
I've done a couple of half marathons and tons of other races. But my goal is to do a full one in October 2012. When should I start training? And how should I fuel for it? I've never used gu (or however you spell it). Only water or gatoraid. Just didn't know if I should try and increase slowly or take it by the horns and go…

mental support
This is for mental support. I am currently in the process of getting a divorce. I am having a very difficult time with it. We have been having issues for a couple of years but we said that we would work things out and stay together. My husband filed about 2 weeks ago. I think I'm having such a hard time because he blames…

Upping cals?
I am only 10 lbs away from my goal. I did have my weight loss set at 2 lbs per week but that wasn't happening so I changed it to 1 lb per week and I lowered the amount of workouts. It upped my cals...why? How can I eat more and work out less and still lose weight? On a side note I am trying to lose an additional 5 lbs and…

dumb question but seriously want to know...
So, I've been sick for like 3 weeks. I have a hard time keeping things down. I get into these caughing fits and end up making myself sick. Like I said I know its a dumb question but most of the time its right after I eat so I don't have time to digest anything. Then because I just got sick I don't feel like eating. Should…

divorce and dating
So my divorce is no where near final but the thought of dating again really scares me. We were together for 13 years. I was 19 when we met. Im going to be like a 15 year old girl again when it comes to guys! And, I know this is messed up but I hate the idea of him being with someone else. I do not want to think of him…

yoga or pilates?
Educate me! I want to do something different. I plan on taking a spinning or kickboxing class. And I run through out the week and started a little weights.

I am exhausted and frustrated! I have been at a stand still for a year! I have lost 50+ lbs and have kept it off. I know I should be happy. But I want these last 15-20 lbs gone.

big butt!
I've always had a big butt- even when I was skinny! And, now that I'm actually losing weight I want to tone up my thighs and butt. I do mostly running as cardio. If I don't run I'll do the elliptical and then walk on an incline on the treadmill. My new routine is waking up early and riding the bike then I'll do sit ups and…

new workout advice needed
So I think Im standing at a stand still with my weight loss because I pretty much do the same thing all the time. I eat my 1000-1200 cals a day and workout 4-6 times a week. It usually consists of running. I love to run. I use it as my excuse to get out of the house! Or if I dont run I will do the elliptical and then walk…

husband complaint
So my husband has not at all been supportive of me in my weight loss. I admit I let myself go and it has taken way to long to get the weight off from my pregnancies. I'm 5 2 and 135 (not too bad but not good either). But, he asked me why I never remember when he compliments me. I was honest (and kind of a a *****) and told…

fresh ideas
I need some fresh and new ideas for losing this last 15-20 lbs! I was at a stand still for about a year. I just recently started losing weight again. I like to run. I try to do it as often as I can but with 2 kids and babysitting issues it's hard. I eat between 1000-1200 cals a day. If I don't run I go to the gym. Usually…

wine anyone?
So I wanted to start drinking wine. Can anyone offer some suggestions? I wouldn't even know where to start trying. But I hate beer and am a total girly girl drinker (fruity cocktails). But wine interests me. It's something I can see myself having after the kids go to bed and I need a little relaxation!

Is there a way to edit a food entry? I made a fritatta with egg, spinach, mushrooms, onion and garlic. I added up all the cals, fiber, etc. I did it for the whole entire thing then figured for one piece. But when I actually entered it I did it wrong.

ab exercises?
Well not really ab so much as my uterus. I can tell that my stomach is getting flatter and actually a little toned. But only on the top.

dumb question on planks
What is the right way to do a plank? I tried it for the first time last night and I was able to hold it for about 40 seconds. And, and you vary it? For example, lift your legs to the side or something?

cals in cooked food?
Why is it when I enter 2 eggs some show 140 for cals and others show up to 230? Does the cals really change when cooked? When I scramble eggs I don't use butter, I use the pam spray.
