I've heard of the walking DVDs, but what are they? If you can tell me who does them or what the title is, I can just look them up on Amazon. Anyone else doing these and getting results? maggie

Whatever works for you! You're not going to do an exercise you don't like, so if that curly-headed man in tiny shorts gets you going (or makes you laugh, which may be more likely) then right on! Maggie Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Online Calorie Counter

Rhonda, Just remember that you are your own worst critic so don't be too hard on yourself. Good luck and Welcome!! Maggie

That was part of my 30-Day "Conditioning Period", which I'm on day 20 of now. Going to the gym EVERY day and no alcohol. It's really bad when I come home from a particularly hard day at work and all I want is a glass of wine, but I have been distracting myself with exercise more, so when I get home I'm so beat that I…

I've been in Nazi-Workout mode for the past 11 days, working toward my goal of 30 days. I worked out around 6:30 this morning, then at 10:30 at work they had a blood pressure & cholesterol screening offered for free so I did it. My blood pressure is 136/90, which is borderline hypertension. Since I started working out, it…

Welcome fellow newcomer! I'm on Day#11 of a 30-day conditioning phase; I've been to the gym every day and watched what I eat like a Nazi--but I will lighten up after 30 days. If you really commit to this you will see and feel almost immediate results. I "weigh" 6 pounds less than I did 10 days ago, but I know alot of that…

I wrote this in my blog the other day but thought maybe it would be inspiring to someone on the message boards... I don't remember what the name of these roses are, but they're my absolute favorite, and they're not a very typical type. They are yellow, but have dark pink, almost red, around the edges of all of the pedals.…

What do you do to stay well? Let me explain...I woke up this morning and I was run down, sniffly and my throat hurt a little. All of the familiar symptoms of just-a-few-days-before-bed-ridden. Not that I couldn't use the time off work, but I'm on a 30-day conditioning period and I can't afford to miss a day or more at the…

Don't get discouraged that you're falling "off track". It doesn't have to be a train wreck if you have a few bad days. I've heard from a lot of sources that if you have a few days where you deviate from the plan a little, the best thing to do is just keep right on going just like it never happened. So often we just…

I LOVE Sweet Child 'O Mine--VERY good workout song. I didn't think about NSYNC, but since I STILL HAVE ONE OF THEIR CD'S (for shame! :noway: ) I should check that out. Prince is good too, I'm going to have to add some of him to my mix. Thanks, Maggie

When I'm looking for new playlist inspiration I go to Women's Health online, they have a whole section of workout playlists. They have professional athletes' playlists (or playlists staff writers made up and passed off for pro athletes, whatever works) and different playlists for different types of workouts.…

I know this sounds like an obvious answer, but Midol for one thing...it's got caffiene in it and a diuretic. Caffiene can help curb your appetite and the diuretic, well you know. That gets me to phase 2 of my plan--working out. I know I can't even think about getting on an elliptical when I'm in pain, tired and retaining…

My best tool in a really good workout is a great playlist. The music keeps your blood flowing and gives you something to keep the beat to, if that's your thing. I wrote about this in by blog, but wanted to get public feedback too. My workout playlist is an embarrassing assortment of Hip-Hop and Techno-Thump remixes of many…
