I work with a personal trainer 2 days a week and some weeks are killer! It's usually not the day after that I'm really sore, but the second day after. If you're not used to exercising and you are working it really hard, you may need to slow it down a bit. Personally, after a really hard workout, I like to soak in an epson…

I'm 47 with 3 grown kids, 23, 20 and 18, all still with us at home. The 40's were not good to me- put on a lot of weight, but now I'm looking forward to a much healthier me. Feel free to add me, I'm always looking for friends and support :smile:

your life sounds like mine, I'm 47, 3 kids 18 to 23, and I commute an hour to work. I work out regularly and eat pretty healthy (I'll be the first to admit I am not perfect with my diet). I sent a friend request.

last time I was a size 2, it was a 2 toddler, lol. I am 5ft tall and at my thinest was about 115 and 25 yrs ago, that was about a size 7-9. If you asked me a year ago what my goal was, I would have said about 125, but the reality is that at 47, I probably will never see that again and that's ok. I have learned to stop…

remember, MFP is NOT a "diet till I reach my goal" plan, this is exactly why diets don't work (I wish I had a dollar for every pound I have lost and gained back again). MFP is about lifestyle changes, you have to be committed to making the right changes for the rest of your life. That is not to say you can't go on vacation…

just think, today is the start of an exciting journey and a few months from now you wont even know who that lady is :happy: feel free to add me, always looking for friends for support and encouragement ( and sometimes to tell me to get my butt in gear, lol)

see, and that is one of the problems I'm finding, like when I go to karate, I know I'm working hard, but the MFP cal burned is like 700 something and I don't think I'm burning that much, plus it depends on whether we are doing kata or kumite. also things like cardio workout videos. plus, I'm trying to figure out if the…

Amazon, I shop there a lot

ok, really guys, I'm looking for useful information, not petty comments. Everyone has their own opinion and that's ok, because I am looking for just that, peoples opinions on the subject.

feel free to add me, I'm also fairly new and looking for friends and support. I'm looking to lose around 40-45, but I'm focusing more on the BMI range and my fitness level/how I feel than a number on the scale.

yes, you can see a difference in the pics, but it is hard since you are wearing different clothing in each. I'm like you, I can never see the difference in myself when I've lost weight, but I can tell by the way my clothes fit. Start tracking your measurements-that's where you can really see the changes and where you are…

seems like a lot of people like the polar FT7, so I went ahead and ordered it. will follow up with how I like it when it comes in. would still like to hear feedback on the subject though.

I have two. The first one my wife bought for me 1.5 years ago. About $30. To get a heart rate I have to hold my finger on the watch face. It's good for spot readings, NOT continuous heart rate monitoring. As I sweat more the watch thinks I am trying to get a reading which is not accurate or just no reading. I bought a HRM…

I usually try to time my dinner at work for around 6pm and then save something to munch on for the drive home, but it's like as soon as I walk through the door and my family is eating my brain says "time to eat". The worse part is when I eat that late like that I know how bad I will feel in the morning-I literally feel…

the one I saw in the walmart only had a 3 star rating, so I was iffy about it. have checkout a bunch online, but was hoping to get some input from people who have actually used them.

I've also had PF in the past and am seeing a podiatrist now because it is back. cortisone shots did the trick the first time several years ago, but not this time. Several things you can do to help decrease the pain before you go for the cortisone shot (which by the way hurt like hell for about 60 sec, but then your foot…
