I understand this line of reasoning. I have not read other responses but I want to say that when a person has bad knees they are given exercises to build the muscles that support the knee. I am thinking that the weight on your frame might be the same but that muscle makes the frame supported and thus stronger whereas fat…

I don't know if I saw anything but I scared the **** out of my kids when I screamed at her turning to look at me....

The 110% or the American Idol favorite...1000% yes, that makes me nuts. I also hate when the metal that hold a pencil eraser in place rubs against paper. I hate the smell of chewing tobacco and the sound of the spitting and I absolutely hate the sound of adolescents walking or should I say shuffling their feet. For the…

I guess I blew it.....I should have just not said anything and put on an enthusiastic face. Every dress she tried on was the same color, her favorite color. There were a few I thought inappropriate for her age...that I won't budge on, but I guess I should have just let this choice be hers without my input outside of saying…

I thought about reserving judgement. She asked what I thought and I said "it isn't the most flattering of the three but if you really want that one you may get it"...there was no snarkiness in my statement and no dismissiveness but she looked disappointed. I was at a swim party once and there was a group of teens at the…

I is an issue of balancing your nutritional needs and your exercise. If I am running a 16 mile run one day I will burn more calories than I can consume that day so the night before or maybe two nights before I may allow myself to go over by a little...like up to 300 calories over...On those super long days I might be 500…

I hope the next few weeks are a huge success for you and that you feel good again about this journey

no....I think this is inaccurate. I find that sometimes my hrm will be wonky and if it is acting up at all it is especially wonky when my arms are over head or I am upside down....not always but it happens...when my HRM is being wonky it can read 228 even when it should read 75

I feel the same way about swimming. I do it for the benefits of swimming. I want to love it but it just sucks...but then I am a runner. I think you just have preferences. I can get through a swimming workout and and hoping that my kids swim coaches can help me become more effecient but I am not going to try to love…

I am sure that is super annoying but I know I will "stare" if I think I might know someone and I am trying to figure who the person is, or if I find something about them intriguing and usually impressive. Only a very few times have I taken a second look at someone for anything out of something other than admiration or that…

me me me me me ...I have not had cereal in a few weeks because I can not just eat a serving..it has to be at least 3 servings maybe more if I am really honest...the wonderful circles of grainy goodness just make me smile

I had my gallbladder removed 9ish years ago...I had tons of issue when I went from more fried food to healthier choices...then whenever I ate something greasy I would have an attack...

perhapsa dr is in order...sometimes other types of female issues are hidden by the constipation.

There used to be a brocolli cheese Lean Pocket that was a great option for me. It is higher in sodium than necessary etc but it was a great way to retrain my mind and body as to what appropriate sizes were as one Lean Pocket was enough but it wasn't the same as the sandwich and chips and ...and ,,,,, that I used to…

Go to history...activities will show on your watch...select activities...the most recent activity will show first...if you want previous one you hit your scroll down button. Once you have the right workout hit your enter...you will get a total calorie burned and average heartrate...

If you are relatively fit and have run 5 mi..despite extreme soreness....you can run...give yourself time intervals...ie...walk 5 min run 8 minutes....the C25K programs are fabulous but I think some people could start out with so much more without any negative effect...if walk 5 run 8 or walk 1 run 5 seems too much then…

Hate posting from my phone...the elderly couple walking vigorously while holding hands. Oh herons not ehrons

I love when I see one shoe...which I have assumed a teenage boy is somehow involved. I love the elderly vigorously...they rock...I love when I see a dad cycling with his kids.....I love when I am marathon training and out for LONG runs and I ...blue ehrons are pretty gangly and somehow royal..observe the wildlife,…

oh...one more thing about taking the infant into a bathroom stall to feed the infant etc. I have other children. They were often the purpose of my out of the house trips. They had needs, appointments etc. With my oldest we just lived around her schedule but as the family evolved we learned how to manage. My 4 year old was…

I don't do a lot of classes as they don't usually fit into my schedule but if I get stuck I just do jumping jacks until I get it back. there is a dvd I do at home that I haven't figured out yet and I honestly jump and wave my arms until they get onto chorerography I get...I look funny but I still get a good workout...and…

I am not bashing you here but I do have a question. Did she ask for your advice? Did she say "how do you get healthy etc?" She might be complaining and that is indeed annoying but unless she asked for your input then you were out of line to tell her how to fix it. At best a question to her would have been more…

My four kids all received breastmilk and three of them also got formula. We had total success with one of my kids and she only wanted breastmilk. Here is the thing. A baby receiving a bottle is not looked at funny. Babies eat frequently. A trip to the mall for instance might not be able to occur without at least one…

I think 1000 miles is a great goal. I have three 1/2 marathons, a 10K and 5K race (both races) 10 K for me and the 5 K with my kids and a few other 5K's with the kiddos. I also plan on the Marine Corps Marathon. 1000 should be attainable. The biggest goal for me though is to be strong, make some new PB's at all race…

every now and then I fist bump to a song...lol.

I am wondering if there are ranges for calories..ie 150 -165 is a range that gets x number of calories...and with your 6 pound loss you dropped into another range....

it could be the 4% incline...I have heard that .5% to 1 % inline is comprable to running on flat ground outside. Unless you are running hills when you are running outside, your incline might be such that your pace is tough. I can fly on a treadmill and it helps me work on my speed for outside.

Live in a chicago neighborhood...south side..beverly area/oak lawn ...sent request

Then keep at it...if she is self conscious ask her what you two could do together to help her...maybe she wants guidance maybe she needs to vent, maybe she is just 13 and doesn't know what she wants but if she brings it up then take the opportunity to ask her how much guidance she wants.....keep being a good example and…

My children know that I use MFP. I have 4 veiry active kid and one that is built like I was when I was her age...she is strong and absolutely gorgeous but not long and lean like her sisters. She has asked me about calories etc and if they are bad and I take the opportunity to talk about the amazingness of calories and the…

Oh...I have learned with my Garmin...I burn about 90-93 calories per mile..I think I might be shorter than you and you are a bit faster but we are about the same running wise. I think others like us burn between 85-95 cals per mile so compare that to the MFP burns and see how it compares...might help you figure your math.
