Weighing yourself?
How often do you weigh yourself? For me it's hard not to do it really often, I want to see my results! But I also see how it can get discouraging if you are doing it too often. Just curious how often everyone else steps on the scale?

protein and stomach aches

Low Carb?
My dad, starting at about 360, lost about 50 pounds in just a few months keeping his carbs under 100 per day. I have decided to give it a shot. Worry less about calories, more about carbs. Just wondering what others experiences with this have been? What was your target number of carbs?

Losing weight with PCOS is possible!
I hope this doesn't come off as mean, it is supposed to be encouraging! :) I see women on here ask a lot if it is possible to lose weight with PCOS. Before I fell off the wagon this last time, I had lost almost thirty pounds! If you tell yourself you can't lost weight with PCOS, you won't. But have confidence. You can do…

drop weight, drop sizes?
I realized today, that at my highest of 195 and my lowest of 165, I have always worn a size 13 juniors jeans. Now, it seems a little ridiculous to me, but maybe it's normal? Just wondering how much weight everyone lost before they went down a size?

Bee Pollen
The other day, a family friend was talking about using bee pollen to help with her weight loss. She has done amazing, and says bee pollen has been a big part of it. She just sprinkles it on her food everyday. She says it gives her more energy and boosts metabolism. She just buys it in bulk at the grocery store. Me and my…

I want her body!
(Or his.) Anyone you have seen who you have said "When I get in shape, I want to look like that." ? Except for the fact that I'm white, I want to look like Natalie from the 30 Day Shred :)

Like feeling ridiculous when you exercise?
I just did the Crunch: Cardio Dance Blast on Netflix streaming. I felt completely ridiculous, but it was fun, and a good cardio workout. There isn't a lot of strength training involved though. Just thought I would share. I definitely laughed at myself a lot.

Calories in vs calories out.
I know everyone's' numbers are different, I am just trying to get an idea of what people are eating vs. what they are burning. I would love to lose weight biggest loser fast (1200 in, 6000 out) but I definitely don't have that kind of time. What do you eat vs burn on an average day?

Target Heart Rate Zone
So, I finally figured out my HRM. But I am still not exactly sure what I should be putting in for my Lo and Hi zone numbers. The manual does not explain it well. What is the best way to figure it out?

I need help with my new HRM :(
So, I finally bought a heart rate monitor today! But I can't seem to figure it out. I bought the New Balance N4, designed for women. I wasn't totally sure what to put in for level of workout (1,2 or3) so I put 3. I wasn't sure for the upper and lower zone limits, so I left it at default. I worked out for 20 minutes, doing…

30 Day Shred Level 1
Did anyone do level 1 for a full 30 days? That is my plan, I am on day 15, but it seems like everyone moves up a level after a few days. I could probably do level 2 without a problem, but I would like to finish the month off. I'm just worried I wont get the amazing results everyone else does!

What do you count as water?
I know some people say anything you drink can be counted as your daily water intake. And other people say only count plain water. Just wanted to see what other people think? Currently, I count plain water and crystal light. My mom says I should count all the ice tea I drink, but I dont.

This may be a stupid question...
How do you use a heart rate monitor to figure out calories burned? I see people talking about it on here, and I am thinking about getting one, just curious as to how you figure it out. Thanks!

What is the first thing you will buy?
What is the first thing you are going to buy yourself when you meet your goal weight? I have been saying a tattoo on my torso, but now I'm thinking, a fabulous Betsy Johnson dress! Money permitting of course :/

thigh nsv
I have always been proud of my calves, but I have always had flabby thighs. Thanks to the 30 day shred, they aren't anymore :) I have wanted a tattoo on the outside of my thigh, and now I can finally get it! I still need to work on the insides, but they are looking so much better!

My First NSV!
Well, it turned into a scale victory :) I've been doing the 30 day shred and eating a lot less. Yesterday in my race suit, my dad said I looked thinner, but I didn't really believe him. Today, as I was getting ready to get in the shower, I glanced up and saw myself naked in the mirror (something I never do on purpose) and…

Rewards?
Do any of you do anything to reward yourself for all of your hard work? My mom made a joke about a sticker chart to keep track of my workouts, but then I though, "I should do that!" For every 30 minutes of exercise and every day I stay under my 1200 calories I give myself a sticker. Every 15 stickers I will let myself have…
