thank mmkammerers - do you get support inserts from your doctor (fitted ones just for you) or do you have a brand that you can recommend - I have been running a ton and I can tell that I need more support or I may go ahead an injure myself which is not what I want to happen...

Question...for all those that replied that your feet go numb - do you have high arches???? Just curious because my arches are so high I think I may need to check into getting shoe inserts...maybe this is why my feet go numb because of the lack of support in my sneakers.
-
I have to reply to this too! I can't stand when this happens...it seems to happen to me all the time. I really think we don't have the right sneakers for our feet. But, I really don't want to spend $150 on sneakers though either... There are times my feet will be numb for over a mile into my run, it does tend to go away…

Heck ya you burn calories - type in strength training under Cardiovascular section to add the calories burned - you can really get your heart rate up when lifting weights, doing crunches, push-ups and so on...:flowerforyou:

Sabes, I, too, went on a cruise with my husband for 10 days right after we got married. I am sure you will stay active and try to burn as many calories as possible...however, running on the treadmill on the ship is very tricky. Hold on because there were times I thought I was going to run right off it because the gym was…

I just ordered, about 3 wks ago - Turbo Jams and I love it! Great music and the instructor keeps you going but not annoying...YouTube it, to see examples of the videos. Hope that helps...Plus, Turbo Jams is like TaeBo.

Today, I had a ton of tests to grade (I am a fifth grade teacher) so I tried to do something different. I am a very good multi-tasker, but what woman isn't! Instead of grade my tests sitting in front of the TV, I hopped on the treadmill and walked as I graded my tests. When I finished, I actually walked for 53 minutes and…

That was funny!!!!! I needed that laugh...thanks!

Plus, once you add up all the money you spend on these "diet" pills, you go broke! Drink water:laugh:

Unfortuately it is not so simple to add what you eat. I just typed Tilapia into the datebase and there was something there for calorie count. Sometimes you have to add in each thing one by one. Good Luck!

Green Tea - It is not a magic pill but it doesn't hurt to add green tea to your diet.

You've lost 3 pounds so far right? Don't give up...it will happen! This is the problem for so many people. We need instant gratification and if we don't get it we give up. You have only done it for 1 month - you still lost close to a pound each week which is good! Hang in there! Keep fighting. You'll see...I bet you'll…

I understand! The first two weeks of my diet I had lost 5 pounds...I couldn't believe it and it was a true motivating factor. The next week I lost 2 pounds - Then, I got this bright idea to weigh myself almost everyday instead of at the end of each week. Well, what a mistake...I weighed myself mid week and gained a pound.…

Do you have a food scale? That is what I use all the time. Weigh the noodles dry until it says 2 oz. and then this way you know how much it is. If you don't have a food scale - I actually purchased mine at Bed Bath and Beyond for $15 and I love it. I weigh everything!!!!!!
-
Hi - I just went thru these noodle troubles. It is 2oz dry which equals about (180 to 200 cals.) When it is cooked it basically doubles to 6oz still equaling (180 to 200 cals) depending if it is wheat pasta or regular. Hope this helps!

My Nana who is 89 years old went thru a triple bi-pass and she made it thru with flying colors. Every time you want to snack on something say a prayer instead...I know that this may sound silly but maybe that will keep your mind off of food. Plus, ariannedavis is right, your mother-in-law is going to go thru diet and…

Hi - Welcome to my story too! I got married July 1st 2006 and I am too a school teacher. I have gained a total of 26 pounds since I walked down the isle. I can't believe I have let myself go. My biggest goal - I want to get back into all my clothes hanging in my closet. I bought so many clothes for our honeymoon and I want…

I just read an article that an unfit woman can burn between 160 to 240 calories in a 30 minute time period at curves and an extremely fit woman can burn over 500 calories in 30 minutes. Plus, I remember seeing a commercial for curves stating that you can burn over 500 calories in 30 minutes. Google it... "Calories Burned…

Welcome! I never realized how many servings I would eat too! I just started Jan 2nd. I went out and bought a food scale and I remember weighing my cereal that morning...I was like, THIS IS IT, YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! However, I must say that it has been getting easier. I lost 5 pounds within 10days so you can imagine…

It is all about your mind set! You have to play the game! It will work! Best of Luck!

After seeing pictures of myself taken on Christmas day, I decided that I truly needed to go on a diet. I got married the summer of 2006 and my husband and I gained over 25 pounds. I guess we enjoy eating together, however, I haven't been enjoying buying bigger clothes! So, hello everyone!!!! I am off and running - eating…

Welcome...try drinking lots of water. Sometimes I think I am hungry too but once I drink 16oz. of water I am no longer dying to eat a cookie. Plus, what works for me is eating food that has higher protein. It keeps me fuller longer. Good Luck!!!

I just joined myfitnesspal on Jan 2nd. So far, I weigh in every Saturday morning. I, too, agree with once a week. My husband and I love going out to eat and I refuse to go out on Friday night if I am weighing in on Saturday. Plus, if I have a naughty food day on Saturday or Sunday, I have all week to work hard at the gym…
