excercise 2 times a day?
Does anyone excercise 2x a day? Is there any harm in this as far as overtraining or something? I usually work out about 1hr and 10 min or so in the morning, then again in the afternoon for 30 min to an hour, depending on the day. I find this has helped me get rid of some inches, and enables me to be able to have a glass of…

How do you weigh?
How does everyone weigh? I weigh at the gym at the same scale every time. I always wear, gym clothes (shorts, shirt of course, and tennis shoes)- can I deduct anything for clothing/shoes? I don't have a scale at home or I'd weigh in NAKED-:blushing: Just curious....

up 2 lbs from last week...
Well, I am a little frustrated, I am up 2 lbs from last week. It is "my time" of the month... could that be it? Or it could be the beer and martinis over the holiday weekend. I watched what I ate, but went over my calories for a few days... not more than 500 though. And I've been excercising 5-6 days a week for the last 4…

frustrated
I am new, trying to be optimistic, but am a little frustrated -- have been trying to lose 8 to 10 lbs for at least a year and I just can't seem to get there.
