Eat your BMR?!
I am wondering how many of you guys eat your BMR in attempting to lose weight? I have heard this before from Jillian Michaels, and it seems a few people are doing that and having success.....so I just wanted to take a poll and see if you are, and if not...how much higher or lower are you going?

feeling defeated
About a month ago I was on a serious mission to lose 15 pounds. I got down to 151 (goal was 140) and then I got sick. The infection was misdiagnosed and I ended up being on medication for a month, with little energy, and overall exhaustion. I just got better this week and have been working out again, but for the first time…

psyllium fibre
Has anyone tried this? I tried it for three days in a row, and by the second day I noticed a strange sensation of being really full (like stuffed) even though I hadn't eaten much. By the third day my stomach was hugely bloated, my weight went up by 2 pounds and I can NOT go to the bathroom. I took it in hopes of it helping…

I am a huge Jillian Michaels fan....I love her videos. I just wonder though, how does it help your weight loss to do the same videos all the time? I know there is some change from one level to the next, but I just wonder if this is enough to lose weight (and ive seen some really amazing before and after results on here). I…

increase cal/fat
I have been increasing my calorie consumption in hopes of breaking a plateau, but I find that the extra calories tend to be from nuts/nut butter/oils.......so my fat intake is also increasing. Is this okay? Any good ideas for increasing cals (good healthy cals that make you full) but aren't full of fat?

Do you guys have any tips on strength training videos that are tough and burn lots of calories? I currently have Jillian Michaels' No More Trouble Zones and enjoy it, but want to add a little variety to my workouts. I find that when I try to do strength training on my own that I just dont do work hard enough and burn fewer…

HRM questions (too high)
So I just got a Polar HRM and I was wondering about the levels we are supposed to be working in. I ran today and the entire time it said I was at 96-101% of my heart rate and I wasnt in the 'zone'. If I slowed down to be in the zone then I wouldn't even be running......how can we lose weight and work out in the zone if we…
