  • When I got married, my husband always went there so that's where I mainly shop now, getting all the staples. There are less choices, but what they have is usually good. I get all cheese, milk, eggs, pastas, etc there, plus the bread brand they have is very good as well! The label on the 100% whole wheat bread is actually…

  • Basically when you enter exercise, a formula is being used to tell you how many calories you've burned. However, everyone's different and I think that just because it says you burned 800 doesn't necessarily mean you actually did..... plus calories are really a barometer saying how much it would take to burn a food off. No…

  • I agree with that (I've never quoted anyone before, so hopefully you can see what I'm quoting!). I'm with you as far as the scale not budging, or even gaining. I lost 29 pounds a year ago and have gained over half of it back. I think that our bodies actually crave consistency, and I don't think that it's because I usually…

  • Oh and I have to agree with people about Zumba! I tried a free class just to see what I thought, and I was really pouring sweat after the first song or so.

  • A good one once it gets really cold/icy outside (for some people- I live in Michigan!) is Pilates. I use it on off days from my walk/run program to stretch and tone.

  • If anyone's having trouble with the spreadsheet- it worked for me to copy and paste it right into my browser, bringing it up.

  • I think the last time I was 105 lbs was when I was 11 years old....... But everyone is built differently. I weigh a lot more than that and am aiming to lose 40 lbs with the end result being 132 lbs. But I know I would look pretty thin at that weight and still be a size 10. Right now I'm a comfortable 12 even at 40 lbs…
