exercise DVD suggestions please!
I have a plate and screws in my leg, so cannot do a bunch of jumping type movements, and don't care for floor exercises, but would like to know your suggestions. I have a number of Leslie Sansone ones that I do occasionally, but am rather tired of her. Thanks!

Should I record weight gains too?
I record my weights on Sunday mornings. But I weighed 2 days early and was so discouraged that it appears I am gaining weight now. I have slacked up lately and its catching me fast! I just hate the thought of putting on paper a gain rather than a loss. If come weigh-day I am still showing a gain, should I record it? Do you?

how low for low carb diet?
I was told by a friend that i should not consume more than 70 carbs a day to lose weight. I have been consuming probably more like 150-170 a day. I looked at WebMD and it seems that low carbs can be quite unhealthy. So how low is too low?

do i eat my exercise calories (burned)?
I am still unclear about a couple things: If I aim for intake of 1200 calories and then exercise, would I be more likely to lose weight if I eat my exercise calories or have better success if I don't? (usually just walking exercise) and then also, the first couple weeks of effort (again!) i stayed under my 1200 and lost a…

fitness centers, tried Curves or Go Figure?
I am pretty rural but have these two places within reasonable driving distance. Since my new job will pay for part of membership, I wonder if anyone has tried these places and has opinions or advice? I heard that Curves has a time limit on machines, which doesn't appeal to me as much. Are there smart questions to ask of…

anyone have a hungry girl cookbook?
Was wondering if their apple-cinnamon muffin recipe was the one like a friend gave me, that included pre-pkg'd muffin mix with the all-bran cereal? Because when i calculated the calories for the recipe given me, it came to about 442 a piece with only 3.3 g of fiber, but one in the food base here rates the calories much…

please share how you stay focused and consistent.
I do good for a few days, and then slide, or a month and then revert. Are there any specific little things you do that work to keep you trying? thanks.

trying to find particular All-bran muffin recipe
The one a friend gave me calls for 3 cups all bran, 2-1/2 cups water 1-1/2 tsp baking powder Three 6.5-oz muffin mix pkg's or 1 low-fat brownie mix pkg. I saw this in print somewhere, that i thought only used 1 pkg of muffin mix -- but i can't find it! If one pkg works, i'd rather as it would surely have less calories...…

does microwaving reduce fiber?
I'm needing to focus on getting the maximum fiber in my diet, and for convenience have been cooking my old fashioned oats in the microwave. But if that reduces the fiber value, then i'll go back to dirtying a pan. Does anyone know? thanks.

creating nutrition info
If i take all the ingredients of a recipe i make, add up the various calories/nutrition data and divide it by the number of servings, is that accurate nutritional information then? Seems reasonable, but does anyone know for sure?

small rural group formed, 67 collective pounds lost in 2 mon
Maybe this would work in your area? No one wanted to drive 25+ miles to join official wt loss groups in the larger town...a group of gals in the neighborhood started something local. I'm intrigued by what they are doing and their success.. It was a group of 7 until i just came on board, and in 2 months they lost 67 lbs…

frustrated with home/goal page.
I am told we should not go under 1200 calories a day. I put the maximum exercise i could aim for a day (75 min) and even at 6 days a week, its only showing me to have a goal of losing 0.7 lb a week. Gosh, i want to loose 1.5 to 2 a week !! I toyed a minute with the customized version and i think i had to drop it to 700 cal…

question re BMR and exercise
Hi there. My BMR is said to be 1232 cal/day. So to lose weight i have to consume at least 500 cal a day less than that or exercise x-amount of calories off of that intake, right? but everyone says not to consume less than 1200 cal a day....? Or do i not understand the BMR concept? thanks for any help.

Its just so hard to stay consistent! But i'm ready to really try hard again, esp since i tried the last med available for my high triglycerides/cholesterol and…
