  • I do sports (running, gymnastics), but except for long runs I think the majority of my exercise energy burns goes to walking my dogs. We walk probably 3 or 4 miles a day and my neighborhood has a lot of hills I like to take advantage of. 5'2" HW 125 CW 112 GW 105

  • I have the Charge HR. I haven't had any problems with rashes or irritation from the band. I wear it all the time except when showering or doing dishes. The heart rate measurement seems to be pretty accurate. In the middle of a workout I've compared it to both the manual heart rate measurement and what it says on the…

  • It makes my son sick, too. He's tried to have some several times and the reaction is always the same.

  • 1 hour of gymnastics (which end up being a kind of intermittent intense cardio and a lot of strength) and about 3 miles of fast walking with my pup.

  • I agree with this! I run regularly and can't recall a time that I've ever judged anyone negatively, regardless of their current health status or athletic ability. Everyone out running is out MOVING and doing something awesome for their bodies - which is better than a large majority of the population.

  • I've had a lot of luck using tea tree oil to treat athlete's foot - that might also help your toenail.

  • I am 34 and I take adult gymnastics for 2 - 4 hours a week (3 different gyms) and LOOOOVE it! 2 hours are classes for adults and the other is 2 hours at a Parkour open gym hosted by a gymnastics facility. I started as an adult - I wanted to take classes so badly as a kid but the area where I grew up only really had 1 gym…

  • I am also this way - there are points in my cycle where I feel like I NEED to eat EVERYthing. Keeping track does help, so I can make sure I have a lot of stuff on hand that is not energy dense. I've stopped trying to fight it because the relief (from monster appetite) I get the week after seems to balance things out.

  • That Sweet & Spicy tea is marvelous - very savory! Another thing I've discovered is Match green tea - supposed to have a lot of health benefits and is also pretty good!

  • Running helps any pain I get, too, even when my initial desire is to do NOTHING. Limiting sodium helps with water weight gain, but I've learned that trying to battle the cravings for chocolate takes up so much energy that it's not even worth it. I just make sure that the majority of my intake comes in the form of fruits,…
