Something that helped me lose weight
Just dropping in to let you all know what helped me drop 10lbs out of the 25lbs I've been wanting to lose after my baby was born. Just some background: I've been on 90mg of Armour since 2014.

Juice Fasting Question
I've been on a semi-juice fast for the past 2 days. I've had to eat a small bit of food each day because I really got sick of the juice.

Can someone review my food diary and make suggestions?
Can someone look at my diary and suggest any changes I should be making? I've been changing the way I eat and exercising for about a month now and have not really seen any changes on the scale (though I haven't taken any measurements lately to check if there were any changes there).

Which is a better form of cardio?
I have recently started cardio regularly and was on the treadmill today and realized that I can burn more calories by turning the incline all the way up (15) and walking at normal speed than running at a medium pace at a lower inline (6-8). My heart-rate is the same in either setting but it seems I am putting in less…
