Making the Cut workout -- calories?
How many calories do you log when you do a working from Jillian Michaels' book Making the Cut? I have no idea how much I'm burning; I know that my heartrate gets up there really high and I feel like I am working so hard... but I rest a bit more than I should because I'm still trying to figure out some of the exercises.…

Drinking lots of water = really soft skin??
Has anyone else noticed that their skin feels softer when they drink a lot of water? I just got back from the gym and my hands feel like I put lotion on them, but I didn't.

My small accomplishment
I keep telling myself I need to cut out alcohol, especially beer. I know that I feel and look better when I don't drink it, and that it's just poison. But then when I'm in a social function, I forget about all of that and say "I'll have one"... which turns into two, then three. Last night I was playing poker with friends,…

Doesn't strength training burn calories?

Entering food from blackberry
Does anyone else have a problem entering food into their food diary when they're on a blackberry? Mine won't let me do it. I can search for and highlight the food I want, but it won't let me "enter" it in.
