Is a AEROBIC STEP (stepper) REALLY necessary??????
It seems so many workouts incorporate the use of an aerobic step (aka a stepper or step up). I know they are a great addition to a cardio workout. I have a product of Jillian Michaels and many of the circuits have the use of one. But I discovered today this thing actually cost $80! That is kind of expensive. So, I was…

L-Carnitine, CLA and Lecithin
I started taking L-Carnitine, CLA and Lecithin to help with weight loss after reading spectacular things about each of them. I first time I read about it was on MFP. Of course, I am also eating well and exercising. Same as before only now I am taking these supplements. I have to purchase L-Carnitine online because it is…

Need encouragement! Need a reason!
I am REALLY needing some encouragement to continue. The reasons why I am having so much trouble finding motivation to keep working out, which I have stopped, have become clear to me. It's my relationship. Here's the thing, I am in a relationship that has been bad for a really long time. It's at the point where there is no…

The munchies! I REALLY screwed up!!!!!
Well, it's official, I've really screwed up. Gained back 5 lbs! It took me a month of working my butt off to lose that weight. But without sufficient exercise and eating junk food at night, I put the weight on easily. So depressed and angry with myself. And now exercise seems so hard. I'm such an idiot. I'm a pot head and…

Whole Wheat Bread for Pizza Crust?????
I want to make a small pizza but don't really want to use the pizza crusts I have. I was thinking of using the end pieces of the wholewheat bread I have. I am not sure if this would work. Maybe the bread would get too soggy. IDK. What do you think? Thanks! :)

I don't know what happened!!!! :(
I was really on the ball. I was eating well and working out everyday. And I was feeling so much better because I was doing so. So what happened? Now, I feel unmotivated completely. My drive just somehow...vanished. I feel bloated and lazy. I have worked out a few times here and there, but not with the same heart I was…

Started trying to RUN
I REALLY want to be a runner! I recently started doing some short spurts of running while walking the dog. I am embarrassed to run in public so it's the best way I can think to start out. I feel really horrible about myself and my ability to run. I can only do it for one minute at a time. I heat up fast, face gets pretty…

Cottage cheese (cellulite) in legs!
It seems that as my journey of weight loss goes on, the more cottage cheese my upper legs are revealing. It's hard for me to look at them in the mirror now. Is this what my legs are gonna look like? Or does it get better and smooth out with the more weight I lose? Also, if you know of any tips or exercises that help,…

PASTA!!! Don't know what to do!!! HELP!!!
Pasta is one of my favorite things and I ate it a lot. :) Since beginning my journey to loose weight, which is 25 days today, I have not ate pasta even once. The calories and carbs on the label scare me completely. I recently purchased Catelli Healthy Harvest Whole Wheat Penne in place of regular pasta. Even this is a…

Marijuana connected with loosing weight??????
Ok...this is a very sensitive subject for me. I don't normally tell anyone this but I trust I can be honest. I am a marijuana addict and smoke in many times a day. I have been a addict for about twenty four years now. I have been trying to stop so much, if anything, for my health. Phew.....alright...now that's out. I quit…

Excessive FAT on stomach!
I have an excessive amount of fat on my stomach. My extra weight is pretty proportioned through-out, but it seems like there is so much on my stomach. I have been feeling as if it is a useless chase and that there is no way this amount of fat could melt away with time. Does it? I understand that my extra skin is there to…

RUNNING...........What's the deal?
I have been thinking a lot about starting to run. I have never ran before but I am pretty sure that I am in shape enough at this point, from using my elliptical, to last a little while without stopping. The thing is, I hear tons of bad things about running. The first major thing I hear is that it is terrible on your…

I can't do this and get nothing in return!
I AM NOT HAPPY!!!!! I did my weigh in today. It has been two weeks since my last weigh in. Not good! :( I have been working my butt off for this last two weeks. Eating right and denying myself everything I love! Counting every single little thing I put in my mouth. Right down to gum. I have been exercising every single…

Rest Days????
I have heard many times that rest days are important. I workout every day for various amounts of time (feel free to view my exercise journal) on my elliptical mostly. I know this sounds weird, but I have a very hard time taking a rest day and not working out at all. I literally feel bloated when I don't. I know it's…

Do I REALLY need a HRM (Heart Rate Monitor)?????
I am really confused about whether I need a HRM or not. I know for sure that when I am working out, I am definitely in my Fat Burning Zone with my heart rate because I tested with the heart rate monitor on my elliptical. Therefore, do I REALLY need one? How important is it to weight loose? I always just assumed as long as…

I have been doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred Level 1 for about five or so days. I took one day off (still did elliptical) due to sore legs.

I am extremely confused about Greek yogurt, I hear about it constantly. So, I went to the store today to take a look and was surprised to find out it has WAY more calories and fat than my Yoplait Source yogurt. Therefore, I did not buy it. So, what is the deal? Why Greek yogurt? Thanks! :D

Here is the one I am looking at: http://www.sears.ca/product/everlast-sauna-suit/606-000123414-EF7535SL The information I read varies. Some say the suana suit is dangerous.

Burn more than consumed ???
I keep hearing and reading that in order to loose weight, a person needs to burn more calories than they consume. I am so confused when I hear this! This concept means I would either have to burn more than 1300 calories (my intake) per day or practically starve myself. Can someone please clarify this for me! :) Thanks!

One A Day - Weght Smart - Vitamins?
I went to the store to choose a multi-vitamin, and after standing there for quite some time trying to decide between the Women's Formula or the Weight Smart Formula, I went with the Weight Smart one. Now I am not sure if I made the right choice. I am a woman so should I be taking a women's formula. But I am also trying to…

Raisin Bran Cereal. What's the deal?
I am really confused about eating Raisin Bran cereal. I assumed that it was healthy, and in fact, good for me. Bran. Raisins. Good for you right? Well, I am not so sure now that I have read the nutritional information. Serving size is the same as most cereals at 1 cup. The carbohydrates are unbelievably high at 43g. That…
