Burning more calories doing easier exercises
So I have been keeping track of how many calories I am burning doing Zumba and Insanity. I am burning 100-150 more calories doing Zumba. Even though Insanity is a "harder" workout, am I going to get better results doing Zumba since I am burning more?? It doesn't really make sense because Zumba is so much easier... Any…

A newbie with a few questions...
Hi everyone! I am new to this and have been trying to lose weight for the past year!!!!!! I have not lost an ounce, only gained. I have been just tracking what I normally eat, not dieting at all, and I still only net around 1000-1400 calories, then I exercise and burn some off. It is now sinking in my head that maybe I…

But what if I never starved myself?
I see a lot of people are coming here after eating 1200 calories... Will this work for people who never ate a low cal diet? I've been exercising the past year after having my son, but have not been dieting.. Obviously I didn't lose any weight, actually I'm gaining. Will this work for me if I have a lousy diet to start off…

Is chalean extreme good for this?
Hi everyone! I am new to this ground and new to lifting heavy. I was a cardio junkie all last year, not even thinking about weight training... Well now I'm heavier then ever (I was on a high dose of prednisone for 4 months) and want to try something different. I have Chalean extreme and was wondering if this is good enough…

Prednisone weight gain
I was on a high dose of prednisone for about 3 months... This has caused me to gain about 30lbs. Any tips on how to get the weight off?!! I have been off of the meds since Jan, and still nothing! My pants are actually getting tighter! I was hoping when I stopped the medicine the weight would come off... (haha) yeah right!!

Just started Turbo Fire, have a question..
I just started turbo fire the other day. What should I do if I'm not that good at it and miss some parts? Like should I just keep going through each week doing it how I am doing, or repeat each week til I get it?? Thanks

hypothyroid ppl, monthy/weekly weight loss?
I lost about 8 lbs in the past month.. Is that good for a person with hypothyroidism? I just got diagnosed 3 months ago, and have been on the meds since then. I was just wondering whats a normal rate I should expect to lose with this... Thanks

Getting sick of turbo jam, turbo fire next?
Don't get me wrong, I love turbo jam. I only like the 20 min, cardio party, and turbo sculpt. ( which is scratched adn won't work any more ) I am just getting a little bored with it. I mostly do the 20 min quick exercise. Do you guys think I should try turbo fire next??

I hate eating "clean..."
So instead of completely changing my eating habits ( like eating only egg whites, no white pasta etc...) I'm just tweaking them a little. If I want the pasta, I'm eating the pasta, and if I want the cookie I'm eating it. I was so miserable before eating "clean!!" Now I'm going to try to snack on fruits and vegs during the…

achillis tendonitis and bone spur behind it

No high impact exercising/treadmill/walking etc and I'm taking anti-inflamatories. I have to go back in 2 weeks and they are going to see…

Counting calories makes me eat more than normal
I figured out that counting calories is making me eat more then my normal eating habits ( for the past 10 yrs. ) I would skip lunch or breakfast before, and just eat dinner and I would be fine. While counting calories for 2-3 months, I gained about 6 lbs. Once I stopped doing this, I lost the 6 lbs with in 2 weeks. I'm not…

Squats aren't hurting
When I first started doing any kind of squats ( like in 30 day shred ) I thought I was going to die. Now I do them and I don't feel anything when I do them... Am I doing something wrong, or is it because I have strengthened my muscles and I'm used to it? Are the squats still effective if I don't feel anything from them?…
-
Um why did I lose weight?
OK so I have been counting calories, exercising for the past 2 months. You guys may have read some of my other posts about hypothyroid. Well anyways, the past 1 1/2 - 2 wks I gave up and ate whatever I wanted. Including, pepsi, a TON of candy, JUNK!! Well I stepped on the scale just for the fun of it and I am 4 lbs…

Gave up...
Well I have pretty much gave up on this dieting. I am hypothyroid and have only been on meds now 2 months, so I'm sure I'm not regulated yet. I have tried dieting/exercising with no success in weight loss. I feel like I am just wasting my time right now since I have been doing this 2 months and haven't lost a lb. Is it…

Need strength dvd ideas
I have no more trouble zones but I hate all the plank work. Are there any other strength training DVDs that you guys recommend? I need something to go by rather than just stand here and lift weights.

sedentary /lightly active etc?
I am a stay at home mom so I am not working. Basically during the day I am not running around like crazy, I am making dinner, laundry, taking care of baby etc.. I have mine set to sedentary even though I exercise 30-60 mins a day about 5-6 days a week. Is this correct or should I change it to something else?
-
I hate strength training is it necessary?
Strength training is not my favorite thing, actually I dread it. I have a couple Jillian Michael's dvds ( 30 day shred, no more trouble zones) and I don't like them. I would much rather just do the elliptical, treadmill, or Turbo Jam. Is just doing cardio not helping me in my weight loss?

Haven't lose any weight but boobs gone?

new to ellipticals
I just bought an elliptical a couple days ago. I have used it the past 3 days, for about 30-40 mins. I have been using one of the preset exercises on it. While I am doing this I feel sore, tired, out of breath ( yes I had to take a few breaks haha.) But, once I am done I feel fine, like I never even exercised. Yesterday I…

Elliptical or Treadmill?
