Burning calories Through Ab Exercises
Good morning everyone! I had a quick question..I'm using a workout trainer app to do my workouts...they're pretty helpful with the countdowns, motivation, etc. I usually do a 30 minute ab workout (complete with reg, oblique, vertical leg and split crunches, russian twists, and supermans) and it says I'm burning around 300…

Just Dance?
Hey guys...I have Just Dance 2 for the Wii. I was wondering what you all log this in as..I'm doing this as an alternate for 30 ds because I'm having back pains. How many calories would you say you burned from doing about 5 moderate to high level songs? I just want to know what to record. Thanks in advance!!

Boob question?
So at my most comfortable weight, I was between a 34A/B...depended on the bra...Now that I've gained weight, I'm a 38C. I want to lose weight of course, but I don't want to lose my boobs! :laugh: I like them the way they are now! Because they're mostly fat...are my chances of keeping my size pretty slim to none? Let me…

SO many opinions from so many people on here...
I observe all of the forums and many questions that are asked and I get a lot of tips...however, some contrast others by a LOT as I'm sure everyone that gets on this sees...What about going to a certified nutritionist or idk..doctor that specializes in weight loss to see what's best for me? Has anyone else done this?

A Slight 30 Day Shred NSV
:happy: So, other than me being able to do almost all of the full walking pushups (which is pretty big for me since I HATE pushups!) I think I had an NSV last night during the cooldown...for some reason I can always stretch my quad and grab my whole foot from the back on my left side, but NEVER on my right, I always have…

Headaches?
Has anyone gotten headaches upon first starting their diet and exercise changes? Mine started on Friday and have been on and off...however, when I was working out, it started hurting a bit more? Did anyone else experience this? Any help will do...btw, I don't really ever get headaches.
-
Food intake?
I know I should be at least netting 1200 calories, but I have a question about it.. the only thing I don't get about eating more is...if I'm full...why force myself to eat more? I net around 1,000 calories..and I know I should probably net more...but I'm not hungry! So what do you do in that case? & If we're encouraged to…

Burn more than what you put in..?Huh?
Just was reading another post and I saw to lose weight, you're supposed to burn more than what you put in...I don't know if I'm missing something....but I just got really confused. Sooo.....if yall are saying burn more than what you put in...if I eat 1200 calories a day, I should burn 1300? Wouldn't that be bad as a net…

30 Day Shred
So I see a good amount of people who do 30DS along with some other workout...some say it's because they don't like doing the same thing over and over again...but I don't have a problem with that...with that being said...Is doing only the 30 Day Shre too little for me? Should I be doing other exercises?

Just bought some whole wheat tortillas!
What's your favorite recipe that includes them? =]

Ladies with relaxers in their hair..?
Do you all just wrap your hair during exercise? Or use a sweatband? I haven't been doing either butI just put a relaxer in my hair and I don't want to sweat it out already! I've heard about the sweatband promoted by Nicole Ari Parker...can anyone attest to that working?

When logging strength training...
Why doesn't that count for calorie loss? Does strength training not help you burn calories? Just a bit confused..
-
When it comes to your food diary,
Do you all only make sure that you're under calories? I always see stuff like "I'm under my calorie intake, so I'm good" but I just wanted to know it anyone takes into account all the other macros..

So...when I gained weight,
I gained boobs. Went from between a 34 A/B to a 38 C! That was one of the biggest benefits of gaining cause I never knew what it felt like to have semi large boobs. Lol. But now that I'm trying to lose weight, is there any way that these will stay? My mom says they're mostly fat, which makes sense, but I like them! Lol.…

To all my 30 DS'ing friends..
I've reached day 9 of level 1 FINALLY! but I was wondering how you know when to go to level 2? Did you feel that you could do level 1 100% without stopping? Or that you weren't out of breath? Or did you just move on after day 10? Just wanted to know if I should keep going or not...Thanks!

Club outfits?
I'm supposed to be going to the club for my first time on Saturday! However, I have no idea what to wear..lol. I want something as flattering for my figure as possible that can look cute at the same time, but not.too.short. Any ideas?

You know what sucks?
Having everyone tell you that foods such as fish and nuts are really healthy for you...but you're allergic to both.lol. Never an excuse for eating bad, but does anyone else have this issue?

Spot reducing...
Just read the post of the woman who said she can spot reduce, but did this by doing Jillian Michaels' 30 Day shred...but that's not a spot reducing workout is it? Because if you want abs, and the fat off of your abs, don't you have to do crunches to build muscle as well as cardio to work the fat off? Which is why there is…

Macros?
What are they?

Where does the majority of your weight go to?

help?
I haven't had a good night, my body hurts and I'm exhausted to the extreme since I only had 3 hours of sleep...I'm really really tired and sore but I didn't finish my 90 crunches & the rest of my 100 workout. However, I finished day 2 of my 30DS and I briskly walked for a mile and s half today...is that enough? Or should I…

Need a bit of an explanation..Help?
Okay...So what's a good amount of sodium to intake throughout the day? Like what's a good amount (mg) on a low sodium diet? Because I'm not sure if I should just be worrying about my calories..like if I'm within my caloric intake for the day, is that the main goal? Also, okay.....so if my intake should be 1200 calories,…
