Need to get back on track... need accountability
I started on here at the beginning of the year and was doing well until my mom wanted me to try Atkins with her. The first few weeks were ok but when I went to AZ in March for a friends wedding I fell of track. It is also much MUCH harder for me to keep track of carbs then it is to track calories especially when I travel.…

Gillian McKeith
I have seen so many people following Tony (p90x) and Jillian Michaels. I was curious if anyone is following Gillian McKeith from "you are what you eat?" Any testimonials, likes, dislikes?

kettlebells/ kettleballs
I have heard them called bells and balls so sorry if I don't get the correct term. I just started using them yesterday and felt GREAT after!! It takes so little to get the heart going and I can totally feel the burn in my back, core, but and legs. I am curious though how to log it into the exercise journal. Is it cardio or…

Water! Water! Water!
I am not drinking enough water and I am hoping that admitting it on here will make me think more about it and drink more water. I am a teacher and constantly moving. I drink on average 2 glasses of water (at lunch and dinner). I sometimes don't drink anything else the rest of the day. I gave up soda 2 years ago. Its not…

Can I use this to help with my 10 yr old?
I see the benefits it has done for me and my daughter often eats a different breakfast and lunch than I do. I am curious what is a healthy calorie intake for her and if I can use this as a guide for me when I prepare meals for her. My daughter is 10 years old and is currently 109lbs. I know she is overweight but she eats…
