Welcome to The Knot Community. Our message boards are one of the best sources for brides while planning their wedding. Before you make your first post, some insider knowledge might be helpful:
• The GIS board is a group of highly supportive brides to be, working towards their life long health and fitness goals.
• Before you post, lurk first. This board has a group of regulars and they are happy to help you out. However, please search for your question in previous posts because chances are, it has been asked before.
• Feel free to page the moderator of this board in a post (by typing their user name in the title) with any questions that you might have. She's here to help.
The following questions are regularly asked. Please read these first before posting:
• I'm new and want to introduce myself. If you don't see a post started from another newbie already, start your own and title it "(Day of Week) NEW MEMBERS".
• What diet will help me lose weight quickly? None. Sustained weight loss will require that you change your lifestyle and combine healthy eating with exercise. It is said that weight loss can be up to 80% diet and 20% exercise. If you stick within your daily calories and exercise programs, you should have great success. Healthy, sustainable weightloss happens at a rate of 1-2 lbs per week, or around 1% of your weight.
• How can I track my daily food intake? Free sites like MyPlate, SparkPeople, MyFitnessPal and other are great, as well as paid programs like Weight Watchers.
• What are some great exercise videos that help with toning? The 30 Day Shred Banish Fat Boost MetabolismP90X
• What is C25K? C25K stands for the Couch to 5K program. You can use Google to find out more information and to set yourself up with this program.
• How many pounds can I lose in X number of days? There is no set number on how many pounds any particular person will lose in a set time period. Your weight loss depends on healthy eating, calorie consumption, and exercise. Most studies say that up to 2 lbs a week is a healthy amount. Crash diets are not recommended or supported by this board.
• How many calories should I eat a day? This all depends on your height, weight, age, sex, etc. Use Google by finding a "daily caloric needs" calculator.
• Beginner's Tips - Measure yourself the first day of your journey, and then once a month after that. It is great to see how many inches you are losing, even if your weight loss is stalled temporarily. Weigh yourself once per week. Choose a day of the week that you would prefer and weigh yourself only on that day at the same time, i.e., the morning before breakfast. Join in on the Daily Accountability posts. This is where you will find a lot of support, ideas for meals, etc. You’re always welcome to email Knottie Annie with any questions or concerns at messageboards@theknot.com.
