Weight watchers question, experienced advice needed?
Ana K asked:
I started the weight watchers flex system about a week ago. Which, ironically enough happened to be christmas week. My daily budget is 21 points. I go to the gym almost everyday, so I was wondering, how long exactly would it take me to lose 25ish pounds and does WW really work?
P.S im not going to the meeting or anything, I havent really joined but my friend calculated how many points i need and gave me the card which gives the point value for all the food. Do i really need to join even though i have the basic tools?

Diet advice on a budget.please help?
Katie asked:
I am a student and I can not afford expeniseve groceries. I try to eat healthy, but it is really difficult. Wheat pasta, healthy ceriel, chicken breast, are all super expesive compared to the unhealthy alternatives. Even fresh fruit and vegetables are expensive. I cut coupons, but I can’t go from store to store bargain shopping, as i do not have a car. Does anyone have any suggestions for healthy eating on a budget?

This is really important to me. My wedding is in less than a year, so i have to save money for that and loose the weight. By the way, please don’t anyone tell me I’m beautiful the way I am. I know that. I am not unconfident, I am medically unhealthy and have a great deal of weight to loose to have a healthy BMI. I am doing this for my health not for aesthetics.
Also, my plan is to rotate a pliates DVD on MWF and an aerobic and weight training DVD on TTh. Is that a decent plan?
Any suggestions?
I have about 7 months to loose 50-90lbs.
Thanks!

Elliptical Trainer Advice please?
Discerning asked:
currently looking at a like-new Fitness Quest Edge that I can get for $300 or BO. My goal is to buy something that will last long and is worth the money. From what I can find so far, they no longer make it and they also make the ab lounge and the gazelle thing. The seller paid over $400 for it one year ago.
My space is limited. The machine is 50 inches long and that isn’t even while it’s in use – just sitting there. I’m not sure how much more room it requires.
$300 is pretty much my budget.
Any advice, feedback, etc. would be greatly appreciated. I’d love to find a second hand, quality machine for the right price. I do not want to invest my money into some cheaper model from Kmart that has a worthless warrenty.

Does anyone have any advice on planning a yoga class?
erin asked:
I have been assigned (by my internship) to plan a yoga class. I wasn’t given any guidelines (don’t know where, if we have a budget, who is going to be the instructor, etc…), and I don’t even know where to begin! It is just supposed to be a one day class (like a beginner’s one), and I have never even done yoga in my life. Any suggestions??

Any advice as to which elliptical to buy?
bug asked:
I am currently searching for an elliptical machine for me and my fiance. My fiance is tall and weighs 275 whereas I am medium and 140. We were looking for a budget elliptical but because my fiance is a bigger guy we didn’t want to purchase anything that’s going to fall apart. Are there any budget ellipticals that would fit our needs or do we need to spend 1,000+?

How many calories should I eat to maintain my weight?
snail asked:
I’m trying to lose a little weight, with a net calorie budget of 1040. Sometimes I go over, but I make sure never to go over the amount it says I should eat to maintain my weight which is 1730. However, I gain like 3 pounds if I eat that much. Why? Is there a more realistic budget? Some advice would be appreciated!
Oh, I’m 5’3, 105 pounds, moderately active, 14 years old, if that helps with the metabolism calorie thing
thanks!
