  • "It's On" by Superchick-- the lyrics "Don't feel like it today? Just show up anyway" are the only thing that gets me out of bed on time to work out most mornings! "One Step at a Time" by Jordin Sparks... I know the song is about fame, but it really translates for me. "Now you're feeling more and more frustrated, and you're…

  • Walking in place instead of sitting definitely burns more calories! I don't see how anyone would think it wouldn't. It's not going to give you the burn of jogging or anything, but it's definitely more than nothing. This site: http://www.livestrong.com/article/527048-how-to-calculate-burned-walking-in-place/ has a formula…

  • I used to struggle with this so much... what worked for me was, I started measuring what I ate really carefully. Like I would see that a serving of ice cream is 1/2 a cup, so I'd measure out 1/2 a cup, log it here, and eat that. Then if I wanted more, I could have it, but I had to measure it and log it. 99% of the time,…

  • I personally do, because I have my activity level set to "sedentary," so I figure any time I'm on my feet for an hour or more will up my calorie needs from if I was just sitting around. Plus it encourages me and reminds me that little things do add up. However, I'm not as diligent about "eating back" those calories... but…

  • I love juicing so much! One of the absolute best things to juice is spinach. I can't stand raw spinach, really... it tastes soapy to me. But it's so full of vitamins and minerals! When it's juiced, it doesn't have a real distinctive taste, just nice and cool. It's a great base to add carrot juice to. I add pear juice and…

  • Great thread! My family goes to an amusement park every year. Two years ago, they installed new seats on my favorite ride, and at the midway point in the very long line, they had a sample seat that you had to sit in and pull the safety thing down to make sure it would close. When it got down far enough to click, the light…
