Tune Into Your Body_Jillian Michaels
Your body is trying to tell you something, but you're just not listening! To win at the weight-loss game, you've got to make some changes. One of the most important ones is to stop listening to anything but your body to establish a realistic weight for your specific build. Forget about what you see and hear from…

calculation are high
Just wondering, don't you think the exercise calculation for what you burn is rather high and if we are to eat those extra calories isn't it defeating the purpose? I need to get a new battery for my HRM to double check. For instance tonight's plan is to WAP w/ Leslie Sansone a 5 mile brisk walk for 65 min. The calorie burn…

I've posted about this before but I'm going to post it again. Every time I do cardio my ear gets plugged and I'm really hoping someone has some suggestions on how to prevent it from happening. It's getting to the point where it is such an annoyance that as soon as it plugs I just want to quit my workout. Anyone have any…

Girls lift Weights TOO!
Many women fear resistance training, believing that it will add bulk to their physique and make them appear masculine. Even those who realise it is an important part of an exercise regime may still feel apprehensive about approaching weights. It could be the very large, scantily clad men huffing and puffing in the weight…

What do I look for in a gym?
Well, it looks like I managed to peg down an apartment for when I move the first week of july, and its going to be remarkably cheaper than my current apartment (by a good 400 dollars a month or so). This means that joining a gym is a completely realistic possibility now. But.. I've never joined a gym before. What should I…

Hard Copy/Why it's Hard for a Woman to lose Weight
Here's the hard copy of why it's harder for a woman to lose weight while exercising than men. Again, this is not to demean men, just helps us to understand why we haven't lost anything even though we've been exercising consistantly for weeks.... http://cbs4denver.com/health/exercise.women.fat.2.711746.html

Arm Size
Hi Guys, I am a 24 year old woman. Im kinda small(5 feet 110 pounds), but whatever I eat goes to my arms and cheeks. My arms are quite big. I was wondering, what should be the arm size of women typically? I know that it would look ugly if I try to flaunt my arms in a sleeveless dress.

Looking for advice on if plan will work...
I started MFP the same time I decided to start writing everything down in my journal to see actual calories burned and unfortunately came into the reality that because of my stride length even though I was getting over 2000 steps that they didn't actually equal 1 mile. So, I've decided to spend the next few weeks working…

Anyone have/had a Reebok Hybrid HRM?
Ok, I know that the Polar is a good HRM but I am also looking at a Reebok Hybrid. I like the idea of having one that can work either with or without the strap. I am really worried that a strap might not fit me and then I'm stuck with something that is useless. So has anyone had a Reeobk Hybrid? I can't find any reviews of…

Retrain Yourself-Jillian Michaels
Retrain Yourself A key element of changing your attitude is changing your self-talk or internal monologue. Your self-talk is that chattering conversation you have with yourself all day long, whether you are aware of it or not. It's the voice in your head that says, "I'm too fat" or "I'm not good enough." I don't need to go…

I know this has probably been asked a few times before, but.
Is it OK to do 2 20-minute cardio workouts (one in the morning and one in the afternoon), or is it better to do it all at once? I have a very active 4 year old, and can't always get in 40 minutes at one time. Am I just spinning my wheels by doing it in segments?

Victorious Victoria Day Fitness Challenge May 1st
It's May, it's May! The Lusty Month of May. Every May 1st I get that song from Camelot stuck in my head. I was raised on musicals though. I still don't know what a "lusty month" is. I always heard that was February. Anyway, I had a great workout yesterday at my weights class. I really felt good afterwards. I also went on 2…

Hey everyone! I just joined today, looks like a great site. Ok, about 5 years ago I lost 90 lbs (atkins and walking, walking, walking).

HRM question
Ok, I'm getting ready to buy a HRM and have a question for those who have already have one. The chest band that comes with the monitor--is it fairly large? I noticed that they sell separate ones in different sizes and now am worried that if I buy a HRM it might not fit my chest (I am still large at this point). I don't…

Running question....
My sister is running a 5k in July and asked me to join her. I'm not much of a runner so I thought I'd start the couch to 5k that everyone here is talking about. I'm doing really good all in all. Just a little soreness, but my quads and hamstrings aren't sore, it is more the outside of my thigh. Is this normal or am I just…
