I'm stuck
I really need some help here guys. I've been stuck for like three weeks now and I'm trying really hard not to give up. I've been working out almost everyday and really getting my heart rate up. I'm wondering if I'm eating too little. I usually eat 1200 calories a day and then some of my exercise calories, but I was reading…

sometimes you just have to do it
Today I DID NOT want to work out. I had the flu over the weekend and we're getting ready to go on vacation so I just figured why bother. But I finally just made myself do it. And now I feel so much better. It's amazing to me what 30 minutes of exercise can do for you!!:wink:

too much protein?
I'm doing really good sticking within my calories but everyday I'm over on my protein. I don't know if this is hurting me or not. I eat all lean protein ( mostly elk meat) but I don't know if it's bad to be over everyday. Does anyone know? I think that it's probably alright if I stay within the calories, but I'm not sure.…

cleaned out closet
Today I cleaned out my closet and found a ton of clothes that I have been saving that I haven't worn in years. Talk about a motivator...I've had a hard tome sticking to it lately, but now I feel completely revitalized and ready to get back on the wagon!!! I can't wait to be able to get back into all of those…

pilates
I'm starting a new six week program tomorrow where I'll do cardio MWF and weight training TTH. My question is this is pilates considered strength training or cardio? I know it's kind of a stupid question but I really want to incorporate pilates into my routine. Thanks for any help.

is 15 minutes enough
Hi I have kind of a stupid question. I have an Air Climber that I do my cardio on and I really like it, however if I go more than 15 minutes at a time it starts to make my knees hurt. My sister told me that for it to work you have to get and keep your heart rate up for at least 30 minutes at a time. Well I'm just not there…

calorie balance throughout the day
So I was reading on prevention.com and it said that you should try to balance your calories throughout the day in your meals. Like having 300 calories per meal and 150 calories per snack. Does anyone know anything about this. I usually escalate throughout the day with breakfast being the least calories and dinner being the…

stupid scale
I jumped on the scale today because it was there, it's not my weigh in day until tomorrow. I usually weight early in the morning but I happened to walk by it today around noon and decided to see what it said because I thought I had been doing good all week. Then it said that I'm UP like 7 pounds. I just want to cry!!:sad:…

what's better cardio or strength?
Since I've started working out I'm losing less weight and I don't like that. So here's my question, I have great muscle strength and tone UNDER my layer of fat. I don't really want to gain anymore muscle I just want to get rid of the fat that hides it, so should I continue doing both cardio and strength training everyday…

eating exercise calories
Do I have to eat the calories that I earn. Right now my base is 1200 calories. I've been burning between 200 and 600 a day and I don't want to eat that much more. I feel really good where I'm at. I've started making much healthier food choices(which I can eat more of since they're better for me) so sometimes eating the…

how many calories should I be eating
So when I enter everything for a day it says that I need to be taking in more calories than I am. I have a hard time meeting the 1200 a day. I eat cereal( lots of fiber few calories) for both breakfast and lunch- because I hate milk and that's the only way I'll get enough calcium. Also we eat almost all elk meat and it is…
