P90X vs Jillian Michaels Body Revolution?
Has anyone tried both to compare? My bf and I are going on vacation and we have been talking about doing P90X. He does the workouts now, and I run and mix in different videos. I have tried the P90X but I can't seem to stick to an hour focused on just my chest and back, or 90 minutes of down dog into plank. I like shorter…

Feeling "blah"
I went way over calories today:cry: Been a bad week actually, even though I've been working out more to try and counter some of it. Hate the holidays because its all food and sweets and no family... And on top of the scale going nowhere for months, I'm getting frustrated! I really want the new year to start, I need a…

I guess this would be a "NSV"!
Super stressed at work today and ended up eating a few chocolates and one of those JUMBO marshmallows, lol. People at work really don't care about fitness or eating well or calorie counts AT ALL. (Pizza and sweets daily, maybe one other woman brings a lunch every day like I do!) Instead of heading home to mope on the…

Bloat:( Ugh!
Not sure what is wrong, but today is another one of the many days I feel SUPER bloated :/ Which strating because I FINALLY lost 2.8 pounds, and I was starting to feel a little more comfortable in my skin. And then I look at myself with this bloat and it feels like I've gained 10 pounds. I haven't changed my diet, and…

Adderall
So, just curious. I have been put back on this. When I used to take it I lost weight super fast without trying. But at the time it wasn't a good thing! After 4 years off of it, maybe I forgot the side effects, but I am feeling sooo nauseatied all day. Some days to the point I can barely make it to 1200 calories, and my…

Image Anxiety
I have this weird problem... that I'm hoping is not so weird to other people trying to lose some weight, I see changes in my muscles, and I see a number on the scale veerrryyy sloooowlyy creeping down. But I keep looking at myself as being much larger than I actually am. All I see is and feel is huge, even though I'm not…

This may be a silly question but...
Does anyone happen to know the "accuracy" of the calories burned under 'Elliptical Trainer'? I know the counter on the machine over estimates, and the HRM never seems to pick up for me. Also, the elliptical has levels and resistance, so... how does that factor in? I should really invest in a heart rate moniter!

FINALLY!
Can't tell you how many times I attempted to keep at this only to "fail", binge eat and then just give up. I'd lose 2-4 pounds then gain 5. So frustrating. Finally I have stuck to it for a month and I am 4 pounds away from my first goal! I am working out a lot more, and I stick to a much better diet than before without…

I don't wantto give up my morning jogs due to cold weathe and lack of proper clothing this year but I don't have forty-some dollars to spend on each article of clothing like Under Armor or something :( I'm not a fan of long runs on the…

Avoiding the "relapse"
I go back and forth with this problem A LOT. I work out and love it, I eat well for a week. And then suddenly I find myself eating waaaayyyyy too much of something. Mostly sugary foods. I think its an emotional thing? I've had some big changes in my life (IE a cross country move where I now have no family or friends near…

Carbs & Rice
So, I made a brown rice dish, with golden raisins... Very high in carbs! What's the difference between good and bad carbs?? I think I am getting them confused. I know brown rice and whole grain whole wheat etc are "better" carbs than white, but why so high still?
