SOOOOO Tired!!!
I am so tired today!!! I woke up tired, and I just couldn't get motivated! I finally did a 30 min. yoga DVD, and that's IT!!! I usually work out for at least an hour, sometimes an hour and a half.

Deluding myself?!?
Am I deluding myself to think that i can actually lose the last 20-25 pounds!!!!! I am so frustrated! I only lost 1 pound last week, so I went into my account and changed the weight loss per week from 1 pound to 1 1/2 pounds, which lowered my caloric intake by 200 cal. per day. I am honestly trying to be very accurate when…

calories burned
Does anyone else find it hard to figure out how many calories they burn during a specific exercise? For instance, today I did an hour of yoga (it was a beginner's dvd), according to one website I looked on, I only burned 133 calories for the hour. Now I know that yoga isn't cardio, but I'm telling you, my muscles were…

exercise calories questions
OK, let's say you are allowed to eat 1500 calories per day. You do an exercise that burns 200 calories.
