I felt the same way about the machines. I still do. I take a weights class (like Body Pump) 2x per week at the gym and have seen amazing results. You can also try doing some squats, lunges, push-up type exercises at home until you feel comfortable trying something out at the gym.

I just log it under strength training in cardio. I probably burn more calories than it gives me credit for, but that's ok with me.

Thanks!!

Get the Crystal Light energy drink mixes that you can put in a water bottle. It gives you a little kick without wiring you for hours, plus it tastes good and you get more water in your system!

I started running a few years ago. I couldn't run longer than about 30 seconds at a time without walking for a couple of minutes afterward. I did my first 5k and couldn't run the whole thing. I had to walk a little. Fast forward to now. I have 2 full marathons, several half marathons, and lots of 5k and 10ks. I did a half…

I have the same problem with my sugars when I eat fruit or sometimes milk. I just ignore the sugar intake now because I know milk and fruit are healthy sources and stuff that I should be eating.

Eat your calories back! That's why you get them. It seems like I get way more hungry some days than others. I like to eat a little bit of cheese with some celery. The protein keeps me full, but the high water content in the celery fills me up fast.

I was horrible when I started running. It took a couple of months to be able to finish a 5k (and I still had to walk in the middle). I ran my first half marathon about a year after and my first full marathon a year after the half. I've done 2 fulls and several half marathons now. I'm a little slow, but it's SO rewarding!…

I eat pickles to combat the salty/sour cravings, then I suck on Jolley Ranchers to combat the sweet cravings that follow. I also eat celery just to go through the eating motions if that's all it is. You gotta remember too that it's onyl a few days a month and if some extra calories help you to not go crazy, just eat.

I do the same thing, but I try not to be too crazy about it since I don't record all of my fidgeting and stuff liking walking around the grocery store. I figure it evens out in the end. Thanks for making me feel like less of a weirdo though!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE junk food! I've used mfp to 'budget' my calories for the day so I can have a 'treat' every day. Lol, it's an excuse to eat junk food, but I'm only 2 lbs away from my goal, so I must be doing something right. It's gotten a lot easier for me. I just tell myself that if I eat good 90% of the time, I can do…

LOVE the crystal light energy. It has a bit of caffine that gives you a good pick up for the day. Plus, who doesn't love strawberry or mango peach flavored yumminess? :love:
