Maybe a stupid question
I'm on a 1200 calorie day but when you exercise you gain calories...should you eat the calories you gained or should you stick to the 1200 no matter how many calories you have extra to spare? Does that make sense?

A definite must watch for guys
I apologize on the language, but Jenna really makes a point here. (= Remember the old sayin', don't judge a book by it's cover. Or in this case, don't judge a chick by her boobs...or lack there of. http://youtu.be/Ag4C0MFRnmE On that note, I'm going for a run.

How do I know?
Without going to a gym or having a personal trainer, how do I know i'm exercising correctly? I've read books and watched videos but when it comes down to it, I can't see what I'm doing so I don't know if I'm correctly doing it, like a pushup. I refuse to do it with knees down or crossed, I do a mens style pushup, but I…

Just returning
I'm not new to this site, I'm just returning. I'm going back to school the 21st and will be hitting the gym big time. It's the only gym around here besides a YMCA(which is like 85/month and I can't afford that). A lil bit about me: Almost 22, full time college student and caregiver of my great grandparents. I've struggled…

Do you believe
I'm just curious as to if there's any proof or do you believe that you can eat whatever you want -- in the right portions-- and still lose weight? I really hate giving up food and I always need protein and especially calcium (for you ladies out there, I'm on Depo Provera and the calcium loss that it can cause can be very…

Weights
Is it nomal for your weight to flucuate so much? Yesterday I weighed myself, in the morning, naked, before eating and I weighed 1.6 pounds less than I do today. I didn't eat over my calorie goal yesterday so why do I weigh more now? I did it the same today, in the morning, naked, before eating, the only difference was I…

Getting discouraged
I've been doing my all time best this time around of dieting. I've been eating correctly and exercising more than ever and yet, I'm still not losing anything. I got a new scale tonight and I weighed myself, granted I did so after dinner and out of the shower I gained 4 pounds from just that though?! I do plan on…

Recipies with Soy Milk
I'm slowly trying to convert myself to drink soy milk instead of cow milk (I have changed from 2% to 1% the last few months so I'm proud of that, but I LOVEEEEEE milk)... I've been told my more than one person that after about age 19-20 that you shouldn't drink as much milk not only because it's not really needed anymore…

Best Running Shoes
I don't run long distances but I have been told I'm wearing the wrong shoes for running. I wear Champion (Payless brand) Fit lite or something like that. I'm walking a lot more than I'm running, I'll run sprints, to get my heartrate up then drop back down to a fast pace walk.

P90X
I'm going to be starting P90X this week along with my normal walking/jogging. I know that this is a strenuous routine, or so I've been told. I have back and knee problems, so are there any tips from people who've done it, like should I do some of one DVD a night and part of another with it or focus all on one? Are there…

2 Questions
1) Is it normal to feel dizzy or nasuas after a workout? I blame the nasua on eatting a lil over an hour before working out. I had a protein shake. 2) What is the best post-workout food/drink for recovery?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated
I have extremely bad bones, for being only 19, my bones pop and crack everytime I move and I've been told by more than one doctor it's unhealthy and it's the beginning (or I will have soon) of arthritis. Well, I've always been like that, my mother had the same problem, she poped and cracked everytime she tried to move too.…

Counting Calories
Should you just record an entry that's close to what you ate on here if you can't find all the nutritional values from what you really ate? Like...for lunch I'm going to make a chicken sandwich, publix brand sliced lemon pepper chicken, light mayo, tomatos, alpine lace swiss cheese on white bread, now I know nobody has…

I want to...
Two things: 1. I want to lose the fat in my butt and thighs, I don't want muscle, I have muscle, I just need to tone it, I want to lose the fat in them, not turn it to muscle. Any suggestions? 2. Are there any exercises that are good to do while in the pool?

Best workouts for me?
I'm currently walking / jogging intervals for 30 minutes a day along with 5 sets of 10 crunches every night. I also want to work out my inner thighs and butt, is there anything i can add to my workout to get them going? Is there anything differently I should do to work out my ab muscles?
