FAQ
The knot has a search function. Before you ask a question, take a quick search to see if anyone has already asked about the same thing. Some questions are VERY common on this board and have been answered a thousand times before.
The following questions are regularly asked. Please read these first before posting:
• 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 weight loss 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 SparkPeople, MyFitnessPal (both free and have apps) 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, Insanity, P90X, NYC Ballet Workout, Bridalicious Boot Camp
• What is C25K? C25K stands for the Couch to 5K program. It's a program designed to help facilitate the running of a 5K by slowly working up to it. You can use Google to find out more information and to set yourself up with this program.
