I got Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred and started doing it with my husband at night after the kids go to bed. Well...the cardio segment is really bad for my downstairs…

HIIT session on treadmill after a 30 day shred workout
HIIT session on treadmill after a 30 day shred workout... I want to push myself, in fact I LOVE pushing myself, but is the above too much? I've been running for awhile now and just started 30 day shred a few days ago. If I do a HIIT session on my treadmill right after one of the workouts is this safe, or will it likely…

Running every day? Is this effective??
Hi, I couldn't find this answer very well on my own, so here goes... I have been running for several months now and have tried to run most days (always taking off Sundays at least) and sometimes I miss a day here or there. But usually running 5 days/week. What worries me is I want to know if what I'm doing is something…

When you overeat when does the weight gain show?
If you overeat for a few days does the weight gain show up a few days later? I think I've been noticing this for myself, on days that I haven't had time to log and I've perhaps eaten a little more, that I see a weight gain of 1-2 lbs a few days LATER. Does this make since and does anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Stressed and tired and got the munchies...

I logged all day until then and probably ended up around 700 cals more (200 cals over my maintenance) - eeek! But this morning I weighed myself and I went up 2 lbs! So, is it the extra sodium and weight of the food? Does this…

Recipes - so some print the nutrition, can we add these?
Sorry the subject isn't very clear. I'm trying to say I have several recipes that print all of the nutrition per serving - calories, fat, sodium, etc and I want to be able to not just quick add calories but also quick add all of the nutrition - is this possible?
