Drastic decrease in calories burned causes weight gain?
Now that it's summer, I have more time to exercise and I'm hoping to burn a couple hundred calories more than I did over the school year. My concern is that come August, when I will be attending a new school with a hectic schedule, I won't have as much time to exercise and will burn maybe half of what I'll burn during my…

Opinions on this weightlifting regimen (for a beginner)
Hi! So I'm currently debating whether I should begin Stronglifts or if I should try out these two workouts that my friend "customized" for me. He's been weightlifting for a few years and claims that this program would be better suited for a teenage female like myself, compared to Stronglifts which is more directed towards…

Then, a few hours later, it rained and I TOTALLY forgot that I left it outside until I saw it this morning. It's dry now, but I can't imagine how filthy it must be. Will it be okay if I just…

Running vs. Elliptical vs. Biking
Hi, everyone! For about the past two months, I have been using the elliptical as my main cardio workout. It is DEFINITELY my preference as opposed to running or biking. However, I have been reading that many people say that running provided better (and some said faster) results in terms of getting slimmer, toned legs.…

Frustrated with elliptical!
By the way, I'm a 188-pound teen who's lost about five pounds within the last month and a half. For a few weeks, my daily average calories burned on the elliptical was 200-300. Now, it's 400-500. Also, I have a healthy diet consisting of about 1500 calories daily. Today, I found out that the calorie count on the elliptical…

How did you DO it?!!?!?
I'd love to hear some success stories for some motivation right now. What was your starting/end weight? And your age? What did your diet consist of (how many calories)? And what was your daily exercise regimen?
