lifting with 5-10 pounds is what I am usually doing!

Ooops! Looking for a way to ballpark calories burned for strength training and lifting. I know it depends on how strenuous, but an average for a 5'5female around 140 pounds?

I can't use the elliptical any more either as it hurts my kneews! Try the arc trainer by cybex! It is awesome! It is more of a cross country skiing motion. Less impact on knees and burns same calories if not more than elliptical! Spinning too is great! I find as I get older to mix it up from day to day to avoid over using…

I am am like a seesaw! Just sent u a friend request!

thanks all! I think we can swing it, but my other half doesn't think so? He works from home and thinks besids not needing it, it disturbs him. I say maybe we can find someone on the weekends or do every 10 days, but not sure he will budge. Looks like once every 2 weeks will have to be for now, but still trying to get once…

Wow! What an accomplishment!

That's incredible!

Trying to loose the baby weight too! Add me!

Thanks!!!!! Not as computer savvy as you! Is your dogs name Barney! I have a dog named Barney :)

Thanks so much! Soundsvery interesting! How do you calculate TDEE????

Helen,..... I didn't participate in round1but would love to for round 2. Last rime I wasnt sure how to update my stats! I am a little special.... I know! Thanks a lot for everything!!!!!!!!

I am in too!!! 5'5and starting weight is 149.6 as of last Sunday. I tend to weight myself e ery 2 weeks:)

30 minutes is plenty a day if you are watching your calorie intake. I try to mix things up, especially as I get older. One day I will walk 30 minutes, next spin 30 -45 spin, next yoga, next weights and walk etc. It all adds up. I just find I try to fit in bits of exercise when I can. Good luck!!!!!!!

By beginning of aug, I want to be 10 - 20 Pounds thinner. I have a 20 year high school reunion coming up! I was at my goal weight a few years ago prior to getting pregnant. Gained 60 when prego and then lost 40 but had a sports injury, had surgery and haven't been able to shed the last 20. I figure I would love to drop 10,…

The book helped me through a tough time. I refer to it ever now and then. Love the positive thinking in it!
