Nutrisystem anyone?
Has anyone tried the Nutrisystem diet? I totally know its better to cook your own food and I do enjoy cooking but unfortunately, right now I don't really have access to a kitchen for a while.

Fat Burn/Cario Exercise Difference?
So I am very new to the gym and saw a personal trainer. I told her my goal is weight loss. She has me doing a "Zone 1" work out zone on the elliptical where I stay in the Fat Burn zone with a heart rate no more than 144. Keeping my heart rate at 144 is hard because it seems so slow and my calorie loss seems so low too. I…
