Jillian Michaels Yoga Meltdown
Has anyone done the Jillian Michaels Yoga Meltdown? I'm trying to find an estimated calories burned.....and I'm coming up short. I don't have a heart rate monitor to do the math myself, but I think an estimate would be fair....It's a great workout, but MFP says the 30 minutes of "yoga" burns 70 calories....and I know it…

It Works Wraps?
Have any of you tried the "It Works" wraps? I have a friend (three actually) who is/are selling the wraps. They claim that people loss inches with the first one!

PMS and weight gain....
I know this is an "old" topic....but stressing me out today! I was doing so well, eating well (and under goal) and working out daily! Even the week before my period started I was still losing weight!

Half-Marathon Training Program
I have decided to run a half-marathon at the end of the summer......I am looking for a training program that incorporates a lot of cross-training, and not solely running.

New to Gluten Intolerance....
Hello all! I suspect that I have an intolerance to gluten.....I guess I just didn't want to admit it for awhile. I do love my breads....but, they really don't love me!

A few pounds to go....and BAM!
Anyone else having trouble with the last few pounds? I seem to get a few pounds from my weight range goal, and all of a sudden my weight jumps back up a few pounds!

...more questions on the Paleo Diet....
Does anybody do the Paleo Diet? I am almost finished with the book, by Loren Cordain. I agree with so much of what he says (lots of fruit & veggies, lots of lean protein, Omega 3s, etc.)....but I struggle with the part about beans and legumes, and yogurt. My question is: if I am following this eating plan, but including a…

Hip Hop Abs?
Has anyone else used this program? I need some advice: I bought the program, and used it today. I barely raised my heart rate.....The first segment is the "Fat Burning Cardio", and I did that one....Twice!

Whey Protein Shakes?
I picked up a jug of Whey Protein drink mix today.....(it was on sale). I've been pretty leery of drink mixes and powders. But, when I read the label it looked pretty decent! It is the Body Fortress brand sold at Wal-Mart. Can anyone tell me if they've had luck with this drink as a weight loss supplement or in building…

Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism?
Does anyone do this Jillian Michaels DVD? I bought it yesterday and started the program today.....BUT, I'm not sure what to put it under in my exercise diary? Some of it is high impact, but some is low (and there's no medium impact in the exercise list). There is a "general aerobics"...but the calorie burn is quite low.…
