Nervous
I'm already quite small at 5'3 and 127lbs but I really want to lose a little bit of weight just to feel better about myself. I used to be around 110lbs but over the past couple of years I have steadily been gaining weight and I just want to nip it in the butt before my weight climbs any higher. I want to start working out…

Lose 10lbs in 10 weeks?
My quarters at school are 10 weeks and I plan to run at least 2x a week, 30-60 minutes each time, throughout this quarter. I'm going to be doing the couch to 5k program. I've decided that my goal is to lose 10lbs in this time period, does that sound like a reasonable goal? I'm currently 5'3 and around 127lbs. My goal…

Restarting for the umpteenth time.
At the end of November I hit my heaviest weight at 250. I am only four foot eleven so that is twice what I should weigh. I am carrying around an extra person. I've been afraid to step on the scale for a while. I finally did Tuesday and I was down 8.4 lbs. WOOT. Yes, I've been trying to eat less but most importantly, drink…

cardio or strength
Hello. As I am starting out a healthy lifestyle I joined a gym. Its a bit costly, but I think it's worth it. However, it is more than double the cost to have a personal trainer assist me at this gym, and although it may worth it in the long run, I cannot afford it at this time. My question is, if I am just starting out,…

Dang and blast!
So I restarted a week ago, and all was going swimmingly or so I thought. Not so.....:grumble: Apart from 1 tiny blip yesterday where I just missed my daily target (+29 calories) I've been at or under my daily goal. I've drunk plenty of water and I even managed to get off my backside a couple of times this week and do a bit…

Tracking Progress
I borrowed this from a TV program I saw on Sunday ~ this morning I created a table (mine is 6 X 10 cells reflecting the approximately 60 lbs I have to lose). In the top left cell I inserted my current weight and each cell thereafter I inserted 1 lb. less, so the last cell reflects my goal weight. Rather than focus on…

Where did this extra weight come from?
Actually I know. Now comes the hard part- losing the extra weight and keeping it off. Up until now and even after having children I was always able to maintain a healthy weight but lately and as I get older I see the scale slowly going higher and higher. Long gone are the days of eating what I want when I want but that's…

Buying clothes to slim into?
Is it worth it or not? I've seen a gorgeous dress in the sale and was considering buying it, and hanging it where I can see it, as inspiration and motivation. Has anyone else done this?

Heart Monitor Fitness Watch
Does anyone have a heart rate monitor watch and do you like it? I was thinking of getting a Polar ft7 or ft40..I want to know how much I burn when I lift or do other strength training circuits/bodyweight exercises. I like that it tells you if your training is improving fitness or burning fat too. Thoughts?? :happy:

Starting out& I have no clue how to start help!!
I used to be a dancer before kids which was about four years ago. But after having kids and dealing with Post Partum disorder, I lost all drive to lose weight & exercise. It wasn't until I hit 165 before I realized I wasn't healthy. I've lost some weight and I'm now weighing in at 146 lbs but I'm still overweight for my…

Newbie. Started on Lite n Easy today. 1500 Cal.
Hii!! Thought i'd get into posting regularly on a forum to keep myself on track.. I think it's easy to give up when only you know that you're trying to lose weight. I'm 23. And figured it's about time to get serious. I'm a size 16, which luckily for me I can just pull off with my height of 6ft. But BMI says i'm obese..…

Yea, I blogged today
What? I did. Hopefully this time around I can actually stick to losing weight by tracking my calories and talking it out with others. Anyone else start blogging for the first time ever? Only problem with the blog is I can't find it on the recent posts. May have done something wrong... Wish there was a search feature on…

Power 90 to start
I feel pretty confident P90 is a full body workout. Day 2 and my whole body hurts. I strongly believe exercise is a crucial part of a healthy lifestyle. Not a crucial part of a diet or weight loss plan. Whole life. Since the baby, it's been difficult to get into a workout routine. Going to the gym after work hasn't worked.…

What do you doing during the winter?
I've been running for a couple weeks, but as the weather gets worse, so do the conditions of the blacktop trails I use. Ice is the major issue; even areas that have been plowed have snow that will melt off during the day and refreeze in a clear layer of ice over surfaces during the night. I've been to the gym once, and not…

If not 1200, then what? Small, active woman.
Hi all, At this for a week now, and just saw some posts saying 1200 wasn't so great, and I would appreciate some input. A bit of background - I'm 5'2" and 125 lbs (well, last week I was 125. Now I'm 122). Which is fine.... but..... I took up running ultramarathons about 3 years ago. In that time, I've gained about 12 lbs.…
