Good exercise DVD that is easy on knees?
I would love a good exercise DVD that doesnt involve squats or crunches and is low impact. I suffer from some type of inflammatory arthritis and it usually affects my knees. So something that does not put alot of stress on my knees would be great. I have loved the 30 day shred in the past but the squats and lunges are a…

Snack suggestions to reach my 1200 cal goal
I'm eating about 1200 calories give or take daily right now, but burning about 470 at the gym during the weekdays. I am not really eating those back. But it seems like I should.

Is this enough at the gym to see results?
Is 40 minutes on an ARC trainer (sort of like an elliptical) on the Weight Loss setting, level 5, burning about 450-500 calories each time enough? I also plan to add in some circuit training a la Jillian Anderson or Tae Bo at home a few nights a week. I'm eating about 1200 calories a day, lots of salads and lean protein.…

I find myself getting roughly the correct amount of calories, and carbs. But I am usually way under on fat,…

Question about Suggested Calories
So my suggested calories is 1200. Which is doable for me. But if I go the the gym and burn like 800 calories one day, am I really supposed to make up those calories by eating? My suggested calories bump up to 2000. And I'm just wondering if I really have to eat more that day, or will I see weight loss if I stick to the…
