You burn a ton of calories with the kettle bell. Just doing kettle bell swings for 15 min I can burn 300 calories. Since you are doing a class I would guess you could burn more. Get a Heart Rate Monitor!!! That way there is no guessing.

I have a 1993 Giant...no suspension. Suck it!.. lol Ok that is my ride but I am getting back into mountain biking as I will be doing some triathalons involving mountaint biking. So I am the newbie guy riding the antique.

Hi my name is Ed. I live in southern Maine on the coast. I ran my first marathon a month ago, running another in May 2012. Signed up a couple sprint tri's Summer 2012. Please feel free to add me, I am always looking for like minded people!

Hi my name is Edwin. Ran my first marathon a month ago and running another in May 2012. I live in Maine and looking for training groups etc. rather than running solo. Training groups can be local to New England or simple on here : ) Please feel free to add me as I am always looking for like minded people!

I am Ed, live in Southern Maine on the coast. Ran my first marathon a month ago, training for another one in May. Planning on snowshoeing and hiking this winter as well as the running. Will be doing some tri's this summer involving kayaking and mountain biking. Looking to hook with training partners and adventures (and…

I do...although I am not lifting as heavy as I used to I broke my wrist last winter and never got it set. So know any lifting hurts so I pulled out the gloves with the wrist supports and all is good. You are going to get people on both sides, I say try them and see what you think. My theory is if it eliminates one more…

I disagree. There are cicumstances where this can occur. I am hypothyroid so I can pack muscle on like I am a raging roider but struggle to lose the fat. Weight is weight but based off bodyfat% I can gain muscle and lose fat...but my endocrine system is a mess.

I think it is supposed to make your hair less brittle. I haven't had any issues and they just bumped me up to 125mcg of synthroid. It is replacing a hormone you are lacking so don't understand having you be "normal" would cause your hair to fall out.

I got my hrm for $50 at walmart.

Jenny.....I went out and got a cheap heart rate monitor for this reason. Make sure you get one with the chest strap. It will tell you the actual calories burned. For example, my Nike+ chips said I burned around 600 calories on a run I did. My heart rate monitor said I burned around a 1000. My course is a tough hill course…

I have had migraines my whole life....there are family pictures of me under a buffet table because the dark helped with my migraine. I recently have been diagnosed with a whole slew of endocrine system issues, particularly hypothyroid. They said it would take 30 days for the hormone to take, and since that point I have not…

I mean my spouse and your boyfriend....I am ready for bed.

I know I do...and we should get together with our spouses. I was thinking if we could get a group together maybe we could do a fitness club. The have these running clubs etc. Thought maybe we can do something similar but include whatever...kayaking, hiking, biking, a 5K, charity walk etc.

You may experience signficant losses at first but then your body will slow your metabolism down. Somedays I eat over...some days like possibly tonight where I still have 1200 calories to eat and it is 11:35PM I won't hit my totals. You are better off eating the calories and getting to daily total that MFP says you should…

Last March when my thryoid went Kaput....I signed up for a marathon in the fall...only running one official race prior to that (a 5K) Find something that is outside your comfort zone around NYE like a 10K, 15K, Half Marathon..something and go for it!

My experience is people do notice but most won't say it to your face. I trained and ran my first marathon and I am down over 30 lbs since I started running (13 or so on here.) No one from the neighborhood has said a word to me(in person or facebook.) Of my wife and I am the more out going one. She stands at the bus stop…

Try lastfm.com. I like it a lot better than Pandora. Doesn't seem to bog my pc down as much.

Kettle Bell swings....20 calories per minute.

Agree with everyone else...bump up your cals. If that doesn't work then maybe see your doctor and get your thyroid checked.

Because everyone needs to line their pockets. It isn't just the manufacturers, retailers jack the prices up quite a bit. I audit them so I see what they pay and what they charge.

Thanks..will have to ask my doc about it. According to my pharm Testim is pretty affordable...the one they are trying to put me on is nearly $300 a month.

When I was 17 I was on a swim team...was doing it to lose weight(plus I was an excellent/fast swimmer.) I got a gym membership at the same time. The trainer "evaluated" me and told me to quit swimming. He asked me if I ever saw a skinny walrus or a skinny whale. When I of course answered no he told me to quit swimming or I…

Sorry Sarah meant to quote your post.

Sarah, For one don't worry about pace. Your body is going to be burning more calories in order to keep you warm. This was the point of my post. You know you need to excercise yourself and your dog. Start eliminating potential excuses now. Try to stop thinking of it negatively and put a positive spin on it. Change your…

LOL...I am forwarding this to my wife...she needs to be more involved in my fitness goals..lol

Hypo with something up with my pituitary gland as well. One month on Synthroid, MRI for pituitary next week.

I am too newly diagnosed with hypothyroid. Looking for friends in the same situation. Anyone with hypothyroid please add me : )

Do it for you....don't feel guilty.

Looking for friends for inspiration...please add me : )
