What should I do?
Sorry guys, I know I post ALL the time, but there's not a lot of people in my life who are on this "journey" with me, so not a lot of people to ask when I have questions! I went to the chiropractor today to settle some lower back pain (long overdue) that resulted in sciatic nerve pain two nights ago. I started 30 day shred…

Insanity and P90X

Foot Pain
Ok. I am the type person that if I stop doing something for any amount of time I will never go back to it. Here is my delimna. Back early this year, I broke the heel bone of my left foot. I wore the boot (ugh) for 3 months until it finally healed. Once that healed, I got a shot for the plantar fascitis and everything was…

Is it a bad idea...
to start jogging when you are at least 100lbs overweight?? I have never been a runner but have kinda always wanted to be. The idea sounds stupid in my head because I get out of breath just walking. :grumble: Maybe I just answered my own question. Hmmmm

Vacation help!!!
Hey all, I'm headed out of town for five days on a quick vacation to visit a friend in Texas. I've been doing circuit training videos with handweights for the most part, but I'm not going to be able to bring the videos (as they are on-demand on my cable) OR the weights (because I am NOT lugging them in my carry-on!!!!)…

I finally get it! (jogging)
I've been jogging outside and yesterday it was late and I decided to hop on the treadmill. I hated it! I really enjoy jogging outside now, looking at the scenery, setting my own pace...the treadmill felt like a hamster wheel with no end in sight. I guess after 2 weeks of outdoor jogging I'm officially a convert. Just had…

I have hit a wall.
I started the C25K program earlier this summer and was doing pretty well until the 20 minute runs. I was able to run it once with one short break but every other time I've attempted it I've not been able to do it with less than 3 walking breaks, which eats into my time. I try to make up for it by adding a couple minutes at…

Walking/Jogging with Stroller
:glasses: Ok so I am wondering how you all log when you walk but at a fast pace or jog with your stroller. I don't have a heart rate monitor, hope to get one soon but I don't think that the Pushing/Pulling Stroller is quite accurate when you burn more calories from walking a moderate pace "walking dog". I know that you…

Inner knee pain??? HELP!
I just recently restarted my jogging program and now I have some knee pain. It's on the inside and below my kneecap. It doesn't hurt when I run, however. It only hurts when I'm NOT running. I don't understand it. It's just a dull kind of pain and it came on all of a sudden after my running sessions. Any ideas on what this…

The Biggest Loser 2010
Found this Blog pretty interesting and have to agree that some of the exercises they do look pretty dangerous. http://www.angrytrainerfitness.com/2010/10/why-biggest-isnt-best I've read that the episodes and weight loss results don't actually occur in the timeline of a week. So I take it with a grain of salt but still find…

For those with Wii Fit
I just got my Christmas edition of the LTD Commodities catalogue, and they have new resistance weights that attach to your wiimote and nunchuk, and they also have a "lift" for the bottom of your balance board, so that you can get higher steps on step aerobics. (not to mention a charger with 4 battery packs!) You can order…

2 ways to lose weight....which one do you favor?
Ok so I've come to learn there are two schools to thought on losing weight. A) there is the low calorie way B) there is the fuel your furnace way I've done low calorie so many times I can't stand it. It is called "yo yo" dieting b/c i gain the weight back and do it again over and over. In some way, shape, form or fashion.…

Better shape or faulty HRM?
I've been riding my bike every day for the last 5 weeks, and when I first began (coming from 'couch potato' status) I was burning 225 calories in 15 minutes when I pushed myself as hard as possible, according to my HRM. 5 weeks later, I'm only burning 175 for 15 minutes, according to the HRM. Before, MFP estimates were…

Great Deal on HRM

If you haven't thought about getting one, don't bother thinking and snag this great deal! Feel free to message me with any questions, but…
