  • Walking is really a great workout. "Pilates for Dummies." I love it! It's tougher than it would seem. I found it at the local library. My library has a ton of workout DVDs. If yours does, it's a really great way to try out DVDs without spending a ton of money on videos you may not even like. Zumba is a really good and fun…
  • I'm 5'9" and my goal is 155 with some muscle, too. I think your weight is on the low end of healthy, so I wouldn't recommend losing much more if any. Great job on reaching your goal though!
  • :smile: This discussion could go back and forth all day. It's up to each person to make their decision, live with the result (good or bad), and hopefully everyone can respect other's decisions. I was simply trying to clarify that JW's do not believe in hell fire, didn't mean to open a can of worms. Let's get back to…

  • I never said it was the ONLY way to avoid those things, but was simply pointing out there are positive aspects of choosing to abstain until married and if someone chooses that for themselves, they should not be chastised for it. I never put down someone else's beliefs in my post. I also never said if they were or were not…
  • Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in hell fire. If he said this to you, it might have been that he was still learning their beliefs and was confused, or you misunderstood him. They do however, follow the Bible's teaching to abstain from sex until married (or to start abstaining, if previously sexually active, once a…
  • I take them for exact same reason. It really helps and no side effects. Ask your pharmacist for a recommendation.
  • From everything I've read, if you are a new runner you should only run every other day. I know experienced runners that run every day. So I would listen to your body and if you start to feel any pain or soreness, especially in your calves/shins, then STOP. Rest until you have no more pain, especially shin pain. Other than…
  • You're welcome. That was the first time I've ever posted, so I'm really glad that I got to help someone!
  • I believe the calorie goal MFP gives you is based on what type of normal activities you choose (basically, what type of work you do.) Example, I chose sedentary because I have a desk job, so I have a low goal, but I log all my exercise. If you chose "lightly active" such as a teacher who stands all day, your goal would be…
