An obese nutritionist: would you be her patient?
The title says it all: would you go to an obese nutritionist for weight-loss help? This question came up in a group discussion -- there was disagreement. I said I'd post here and get some more opinions from the MFP board.

Is the gluten-free fad/trend/diet/lifestyle pittering out?
What do you think? I bake and cook at a large church on the weekends and we are having fewer and fewer requests for gluten-free items. We had lots of requests about a year back, but not so much now.

All done with Jillian's Body Revolution
Well, I'm ending it a week early. I just cannot keep doing all the shoulder and wrist moves in workouts 11 and 12. I did a week of them, it was a painful strain, and I don't want to get hurt. So, I guess I did the 84 Day Body Revolution! I wasn't looking to lose weight, but lost an inch in my waist and hip measurements.…

Jillian's Body Revolution is killing my wrists!
I started week 11 today. I love the workouts and am super happy with the results. But...my wrists are killing me! Week 9 had a lot of plank stuff. I like plank moves and feel like my core strength is up to whatever she dishes out. But my wrists! All that planking and all those pushups are straining my wrists to where I'm…

(Brag alert)I did it! Warrior 3 with weights!
I honestly didn't think I'd ever be able to do it, but today I did! I did the dreaded Warrior 3 with weights move. I actually had my foot up and my arms extended fully and I held it. I could hardly believe my body was doing it. I held it the first two times for as long as Jillian's Beautiful People held it. The second two…

foot pain! what is this?
I'll be going to a podiatrist, but wonder if anyone has experienced a similar problem. Last winter and spring I did a lot of downhill skiing, walking (training for 1/2 marathon walk), and hiking. I started to have a pain on the top of my left foot about 2 inches from the base of my 2nd toe. It wouldn't hurt much while…

Teen son interested in steroids
My teenage son has mentioned steroids to me several times. Says his friends know about "safe" ways to use them short-term and get long-term results, that lots of kids use them, etc etc. My son is at a healthy weight and active and has a somewhat healthy diet (for a teenager). Obviously I do not want him to use steroids for…

serious lawn care calorie burn!!
Good grief. De-thatching the lawn must burn a lot of calories. I am dying and I'm only 1/3 of the way through the lawn!!!! So if you're looking to burn some football snack calories, get out there at de-thatch at half-time!

Ouch
I've been working out with Jillian 6 days a week since June. After 4 days of the Body Revolution workouts 5 and 6, I am the sorest I have been since starting. Yikes! Feels good, though. :) That's all.

T25 with low impact? Is this possible?
I am recovering from a stress fracture in my foot. I am not supposed to run at all, or walk more than needed for daily activities. I've been doing Jillian Michaels interval workouts -- just adapted a bit to leave out the jogging/high knees/butt kicks/jumping lunges. How adaptable is T25 for someone who can't have pounding?…

Ripped in 30 week 4 -- wow!
:huh: Can anyone actually do this entire workout properly? If you can, did you work up to it or were you able to do it right away? I can NOT do the scissor jumps. Nope. Can hardly even click my heels -- the modified version. As far as the kicking jumping jack things -- I cannot imagine keeping the pace those girls keep on…

Why would weight loss be slower near one's ideal weight?
I occasionally see someone saying, "when you're near your goal/ideal weight, weight loss will be very slow." Why would that be? Given that a calorie deficit is what one needs to lose weight, why would it matter whether one weighed 198 or 138? AmI missing something here?

What the heck? Send me your suggestions. Gained weight!
Ugh. So, I stayed off the scale for a while (a week or two) and got on again just a few minutes ago. I gained two pounds. I have been counting calories (with a scale -- which I love, because now I know my portions were way off before), logging faithfully on MFP, and exercising my BUTT OFF. Only, my butt is apparently not…

I don't want to do my workout.
It's hot. I did yard work all morning. I feel like drinking ice water in the shade and reading. I don't want to do my workout. :sad: But I'm going to do it right after I post this. It's only going to get hotter. Right? And I'll feel good afterwards. Right? I've been on a 2 month streak of looking forward to my workouts.…

My husband does Crossfit and just started here on MFP. How does one enter a crossfit workout? Add each individual exercise?

How do you figure salad calories?
Last night I had a salad with lettuce, cucumber, bell pepper, snap peas, and 1T of oil/vinegar dressing. How would you have counted that? Measure/weigh all the veggies? Use a general green salad number?

push-up question
When I started with my new friend, Jillian Michaels, about 6 weeks ago, I could only do one sorry little lady push-up. Now I can do about 20! :smile: I can only do about 5 or 6 military-style push-ups. And I don't think the form is great -- I can't go all the way down with these and feel pretty shaky. So, the question is:…

Calories burned with 30 Day Shred level 3?
Can anyone help me out here? I'm new to MFP, and not sure how to determine calories burnt by a workout like 30 Day Shred. (I did a search, found lots of 30DS threads, but no calorie info.) I'm doing Level 3 now, and it's an amazing workout. I love it! But, how do I log that on MFP?

Just a few pounds to lose, but getting nowhere
I've only got about 7 pounds to lose. The middle-aged lady weight has crept on and I'm determined to keep it under control. So I'm here for encouragement and advice. I'm already exercising 60 minutes each day. I do a Jillian Michaels circuit for 25 min and then stationary bike for 30 and stretch for 5. I love my exercise…
