Hello! I have a Jawbone up. I have had it about 6 months but have only worn it about 4. the charge doesn't seem to last as long as it says it should. to me it was uncomfortable (may have needed to get a smaller size). getting it to the right setting can be a little annoying and there have been times that I though I set it…

I look in the mirror and still expect to see them from 4 years ago... pictures of me to this day surprise me with how different I look... But I am happier with my body and self. :)

I have been reading up on it and youtube-ing. I have the appointment set for "plan your own routine" personal training at planet fitness set for Monday! so hopefully ill be breaking out of mycardio shell :)

I was thinking about doing the personal training at PF, and see if the trainer could help me start the stronglift 5x5... I feel ya on the push-ups I can do maybe two real push-ups.... then I fall.... :/

Chili, or salsa! I make a yummy three bean chili (kidney, black and white) with meat (what ever kind I happen to have in my freezer; gr turkey, ground beef or sausage) a big can of petit diced tomatoes, and a big can of crushed tomatoes, chilies and seasoning throw it all in a crock pot let simmer all day. Salsa--diced…

Cuyahoga Falls Here :) . I mostly take my dog for walks around the neighborhood, but have done class at the YMCA, and Asian Sun (kickboxing at both) and had planet fitness for a while... every once in a while I get the home workouts out and dust them off.. there's a new place im looking to find out about Savage MMA they…

I have done both the quitting smoking and losing weight... for to quit smoking I went cold turkey, not because I wanted to, but because I seriously couldn't afford to buy another pack (negative bank account not so good) but that was almost four years ago now, and I feel so much better. As for the weight loss one day my…

French fries...or cheese...or cheesy french-fries... :)

I noticed more of a difference in everything around mid level 2, ok well endurance was still a little bit on the low end but not nearly as bad as when I first started.... don't get discouraged. :)

with me I am more sore the less I do... If I do a great workout and am sore the next day, I'll do an easier workout but the next day get right back to it... or I can barley move on day three, and four.

Hi! I do roasting chickens all the time, the main spices I use are Garlic, seasoned salt, and a little bit of Oregano rubbed into the skin then cut an orange in half squeeze the juice on the skin then shoved the rest of the orange inside the chicken sometimes I put a little honey on the skin to really help crisp it. the…

I use the Jawbone UP. I have just figured out how to use it....properly. It has a stop watch function that you start when you work out and stop when your done it measures steps while working out then within the app you tell it what exercise you do, and the intensity and it then calculates the calories that you burned. (you…

Hello! When I first started on this journey I walked two miles and did many different work out video's at home and lost about 75 lbs... so I say you can effectively work out at home... I don't have anything other than hand weights, dvd's (zumba, jillian Michaels 30 day shred, biggest loser yoga, and jillian Michael's kick…

I am in a way doing the same thing... the first tie around I lost 75lbs! but then moved in with bf, got custody of his kids and my daughter does the every other year thing with me and her dad... I gained back about 30lbs (yikes) so I am here at about the point you are. MFP tries to tell me Is should eat 1245 cal...ha! I…

I do a shot of Cherry vodka with a diet coke (roughly 69 calories per drink). :)

I am trying to figure out the same thing! I just got my Jawbone today activated it and did an hour long Total Body transformation and it said i burned 168 calories..... that cant be right...

I am in the same boat. I started Mirtazipine about a month and a half ago and have gained about 10lbs. It stinks! there are some days when no matter what I eat I still feel hungry. I have never had this much trouble. But, I am trying because I Have noticed that I feel better (other than being hungry) and I sleep just a tad…

there are days when I feel like that. Or I wake up feeling great and say I'm gonna get that work out in and then it fades with that first cup of coffee... especially when its cold. Keep you head up. on the days you do have the motivation make it count. on the days when the motivation is lacking try putting on some good…

oh my goodness those look so good! thanks for posting!

Hello! I am curious to know also.... I get the same thing but mine switches sides.

the first couple nights doing 30day shred I would take Some Aleve before bed, so I wasn't as sore in the morning. It does get better Lately I've been doing 2 level of 30DS each night. Good luck !

http://www.hungry-girl.com/ i was watching hungry girl on food network yesterday she makes some pretty tasty looking food for little calories. I'm hoping to try out some of the recipes next week :)

I quit smoking over a year ago, mainly because I couldn't afford it (really couldn't afford anything) I didn't use anything to help me quit other than looking at my bank account . I chew a lot of sugarless gum. I find now that the smell smoke makes me gag. will power is a wonderful thing, as long as you are determined to…

thanks everyone! this picture posting thing is a bit tricky...lol

arrrghhh I thought I had the pics figured out...lol but I guess not

I got a really cheapo HRM off amazon for like $30.00 it works pretty well but doesn't tell me calories burned so I have this crazy long formula to figure it out, but what I burn is way over what MFP has in the data base. So if I'm feeling stingy I'll use the calories burned from HRM but normally I just use whats in the…

http://www.zumbacalories.com/ ...I found this nifty website when I started doing zumba :)

I drink regular water or the SoBe life water zero calories... lots of yummy flavors zero cal, sweet but not from sugars or artificial sweeteners. If I'm craving carbonation (yes, I love bubbles in my drinks) I'll have a diet soda of some kind but i try to make that less than once a week. I used to drink regular soda at…
