How to target back fat?
I have been exercising for a year now and barely lost any weight (although my clothes fit differently and down 3 pant sizes).

Itchy hives after exercise?
No I have never had skin issues or sensitive to anything. But after an intense cardio session, I break out in itchy hives all over my legs. This doesn't deter me from getting my fitness on, but this crap is annoying! I tried googling it, and couldn't really narrow it down. Does this happen to anyone else and do you know…

Do you use or ever used Wii fit plus?
I just bought it and used it for 24 minutes, only burning 114 calories. I can burn a lot more at the gym using the arc trainer. I bought it to switch up my exercise regime, and not rely on the gym if I am busy, but my feet hurt when doing the running...and doesnt make me feel like I am at my fullest exercise potential. I…

Anyone try swiss chard?
Been trying to add more leafy greens besides spinach to my diet. I tried swiss chard tonight, it wasn't bad. Like a mix of spinach and collards. I put them in my steamer (is 15 minutes too long?), then added olive oil, garlic, salt, and crushed red pepper. Anyone else eat it a different way?

Hard time eating my calories?
I love to burn about 500 calories at the gym, but I cant seem to eat all my calories! Whether I am just not hungry, or when I am at work for ten hours and they only give me a thirty minute break (and no eating on the floor waitressing). Sometimes I only net several hundered calories the day I go to the gym. My protein is…

Do you and should I eat back my calories burned?
Do you guys eat all of your exercise calories back? I have my weight loss at 2 pounds a week and not having a lot of success...someone told me to set it at 1 pound per week for someone not extremely overweight, but that makes my caloric intake from 1250 to 1750! I am confused on how much/little to eat?!
