One Pound is what most of us strive for weekly! Perhaps try a heart rate monitor to get more accurate burn while swimming. Water, I go by the drink half your weight in ounces concept. Chin up and keep going!

Monday mornings to keep myself in check over the weekend.

I am a CT resident.. In the last 52 years, CT has only put one person to death, so really, nothing changes. There is way to many retrials, hearings etc to get across the red tape to make it happen. Yes, an eye for an eye, but most people die before their execution date in CT. They are living off our tax dollars either way.…

Angelina... she looks hungry..

^^ This!!

Article from from MSNBC : http://health.msn.com/health-topics/heart-and-cardiovascular/why-do-my-hands-swell-up-when-i-walk What you are describing is common. It’s likely related to vasodilation, which means that blood vessels are opening up, leading to increased blood flow near the surface of the skin. Increased blood…

Yoplait Smoothies!! Chocolate Banana with a tablespoon of Better'n Peanut butter!! mmm!

True! It sure does!

5'6" 196 at highest, 162 currently.. 145 goal weight..

They do!! Better'n Peanut Butter is 100 calories for 2 Tablespoons and is sooo good!!

$3.87 in Eastern CT

Better'N Peanut Butter.. Low Sodium, 100 Calories per 2 Tablespoons, yes, 2 tablespoons.. LOVE iT!!

I love mine!! I I get a better, more accurate account of my calorie burn. I take whatever the total was and subtract my hourly BMR number and add to my log. Pushes me to reach my burn goals..

Eat more! worked for me.. I'm becoming a believer in eating back some of those exercise calories. Also, change your routine while working out also helps.

Totally!!! me too!!

It's kinda funny when my rate picks up on the person next me on the treadmills.. I'm pretty sure it is screwing up their calorie counts. What can you do?? Just go with it I guess..

I just bought this one: http://www.amazon.com/Womens-Polar-FT4-Color-Purple/dp/B005M1P85O/ref=pd_sim_sg_1

I am about the same weight as you.. I do 30 minutes of elliptical on Fat Burn Level 8 and burn about 330-350 Calories in 30 minutes. My chest strap HRM is read thru the machine, so I think it is pretty accurate.

Stand behind someone who knows what they are doing.. you will pick it up.. everything is single, single, double.. gotta get that beat in your head.. there are always newbies in a class.. You will be fine! It's a really good time. You will leave there sweating!

A year old box of Thin Mints.. frozen assets...

Mash em with a little vanilla extract added to them! Yum!

Brown rice and white rice have about the same calories etc. The only real difference is that white rice is processed and brown is not. http://www.sushiencyclopedia.com/sushi_calories/calories_in_sushi.html

I found that I liked outside better because your body can set it's own speed versus on a treadmill where you are expected to keep up to whatever setting you are on.. I also think you get better oxygen input from outisde where youa re actually have air pushed in your lungs versus having to suck it in.. I would choose…

I was never a runner in all my life and started the C25K last spring using the iphone app. After 8 weeks of training, 3-4 days a week I was able to finish a 5K. I finished in 45 minutes.. Did I have to walk some of it, absolutely, but I finished it and by the middle of summer I was down to a 34minute 5K.. It works if you…

Myself! I have been overweight since puberty and have never wore a bikini in my life. I have an image of what I want to look like in my own skin.. Can't wait to meet her!

Lastly, the treadmill is an ok training instrument, but will not substitute getting out there and running. You will run faster on a treadmill because you lack wind resistance, friction, varying surfaces and turns. Good luck! I absolutely agree.. I hate running on a treadmill, but can run on the open road just fine.. The…

Use Oatmeal instead of bread crumbs! Works great.. Heart healthy! I also use turkey instead of beef.

Yesterday was my 1 year. 25lbs my first year! I must admit to not working as hard toward the end of the year, but did not gain anything back. I'm back and ready to go! Hoping for another 15lbs. Was not hard to get started again. Congrats!

Thanks everyone!! I can't believe how the change feels, both inside and out. I am thankful for the support I get from everyone! Gonna keep truckin though. I've got 15lbs to go for goal weight, then will reassess myself and see how much further I can go. Without cholesterol meds, I will have another $30 in my pocket!!…
