I'm the opposite. My first class was great (20 splat points) but since then I can't even get to 500 calories. And I'm running at an 8.0!

I'm having the same problem. My very first class I earned 20 splat points, 11 orange and 9 red. Since then I'm lucky if I get 5 orange, and I never get red. And I'm running at an 8.0 on the treadmill! I'm literally gasping for air. I've changed out my snap, my HRM, to no avail. Instructor suggested upping the…

Hi all! Just joined within the last two months. 10 classes under my belt, had to take a little time off but going back tomorrow. I'm curious, do you ladies have any problems with your HRM? My very first class I achieved 20 splat points, 11 orange and 9 red. Now I'm lucky if I can get 5 orange, and I never get any red. And…

Feel free to add me as well, 5'10", 166lbs - shooting for 160lbs and build muscle!

Stumbled upon herroom.com, check it out!

Thank you everyone! I'll look into all of your suggestions, I appreciate it!

I LOVE country, check out this thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/442609-country-music-workout-mix

All my faves are Oikos too, but the ones without the "fruit on the bottom". The banana and coconut are great with the 100 calorie pack cocoa almonds mixed in. The apple is great with plain almonds.

I actually make it a goal to go over what MFP suggests, the more protein the better - especially if you're weight training. Plus, protein keeps you fuller longer!

Love that "Motivational poster"!! :laugh: :drinker:

39 with no kids (my choice). Living life to the fullest and looking for inspiration from fellow MFP members. Feel free to add me!

I had a feeling that would be the case, I was even hesitant to post it but I'm enjoying reading all of the replies. :)

I'm with ya, your second paragraph is hysterically so very truthful!

Great post! :laugh:

A grilled chicken sandwich with honey mustard and a small chili from Wendy's is 600 calories. Not a bad option for someone who works 55 hours a week. Chicken is chicken. Just sayin'.

Jealousy and insecurity at it's finest.

Whoever asks for the date should pay. But honestly, even if the girl asks the guy should still offer and visa versa. At the very least go halvsies. A true gentleman would always pay 100%.

Bump - I'll let you know tomorrow. :)

HELL yeah you're ready!! I'm SO jealous right now. Great work, you earned it!

Such a great story, I love reading things like this. Congrats to you, your hard work is paying off!

The most you can lift!

I use the term in your topic too, but let's just say it's not as "PC". I could go into a three page diatribe here but I'll just say that I TOTALLY agree with you. Kids are going to grow up and not know how to deal with failure. Because they're being told how "special" they are all the time they're going to grow up and be…

Not a big fan of water but I'm ADDICTED to SoBe Zero and Vitamin Water Zero. Try it, good stuff!

I <3 this! Congrats and good for you! :) (I want your arms!)

When you're doing something physical (not at the gym) and all of the sudden you feel that muscle kick in. It's especially great when it's your abs! Great thread btw, thanks for starting!

"Sweat is the new black" "Lift heavy or go home" "Strong is the new skinny" "Running Sucks" "Sweat is fat crying" "I thought they said 'Rum'" "In my dreams I'm Kenyan" "Sorry, I gotta run" "13.1 cuz I'm only half crazy"

5'10" here!

I'm 5'10" and as much as I'd like to be 140, I know my body won't stay there. I'm shooting for 155 and if I can make it there I'll try 150. I don't think I can get down to much less than that.
