Gym question for moms of infants/toddlers
So, I took the plunge and signed a year contract with Gold's gym. Though this gym is a drive and not that convenient (20 minutes away) it was the only decent place to offer childcare. There was only one gym closer, and that place had pieces of bare plywood screwed onto the walls in the kid's room...*shudder*. Anyway, I am…

A mile a day?
I am on a 1200 cal diet. I am wondering how effective it would be to run one mile every day? Some days I run one mile in the morning then walk my dogs for 1/2 mile. Then I run one mile in the evening. I am calculated to be loosing right around 100cal's per run. Is this going to be effective, or do I need something else?

Why is everyone judged/ashamed of their lapband?
I personally know that the lapband for me was the correct decision! Everything I read is about people not judging them for having lapband and I really don't understand why people have such a negative outlook on people who have had the procedure. It is meant to be a tool to help you change your lifestyle not to take a short…

another HRM ?....but different....
okay, so i ordered a HRM recently and when it got here and I started reading the manual, it stated that it wasn't going to track calories burned unless the HR was above 100. It said it would not be as "accurate" if the HR were under 100! What about a low intensity workout that you maintain a lower HR with???? Anyways, my…

Starting C25K tomorrow
Crap I said it now I have to do it LOL I was a kid who looked at the 440 in PE and thought "seriously?" Potentially twelve 440's is a daunting thought.
