Just started it! I need buddies too! I am not intimidated by it at all. It takes a few times through to get all the moves, but as long as you are moving you are burning! BOOM!

,would love to add some yoga for non cardio days!

Looks like I have some reading to do!

I have opened it

WAHOO! That is such a great feeling! Congrats!

I might be disgusted if it were intentional with an insincere "excuse me", but I would not complain. There are bigger things in life that I can complain about...

Ditto!

YUM!

I joined because I was not sure if I was getting enough rounded nutrition (calcium and iron) I was gaining weight without eating much. Although I still want to lose a few pounds it really make me think what I put in my mouth and the consequences :) My results so far are a more stable blood sugar and some weight loss plus I…

I have worked towards clean eating and I feel great. I am starting to lose the taste for process food! Great choice and a great life style!

In and done! Thanks!

Just started using Endomondo and so far I like it. Does anyone use a HRM with it?

I only want to lose 5 more pounds as the hips to the mid thighs are still not toned!

116.4 as of yesterday. I have a desk job so I sit most of the day. 3 times a week I go to the fitness center and do 20-30 min of cardio and then 15 min of strength training. In the evening I am shuttling kids to their activities.

Welcome for Midland, MI. This site is full of information and support! Looking forward to losing with you :)

Olive Garden their soup, salad and breadsticks! Can't remember how many, but I do not darken that doorway anymore! Eating out is so hard. I try and stick to salads with grilled meat and no dressing. I also try and avoid the bread products... Oh and Applebee's Maple blondie was around 900 for the whole thing. I thought I…

I too get migrains (ER type). I also started getting headaches while I worked out. It was caused by two things 1) dehydration 2) an excersie that irritated my shoulder which then caused a tension in my neck that resulted in a headache. Cured by drinking more water not doing that one excersie. Also after I excersie I do a…

I was a stay at home mom for 7 years and went back to work just a couple of years ago. I so much want to stay at home again. Funny thing is, I gained wait when I went back to work! To much sitting. Congrats on being on MFP! You can do it! I find eating whole foods is a great way to lose weight, stay healthy and it helps to…

DO IT! Everyone had to learn at some point. Do not let your fear stop you from getting to your goal. I know what you mean though, it is tough to be the new person but now I am very comfortable and have tried the new equipment too :) If they laugh now you can laugh at them when you are all toned and at your goal weight!

I am amazed at how many calories drinks can add. I drink water and tea (no calories). If drink coffee I add that in because it is 2 calories per cup + any additives I may use.

VERY COOL! Thanks!

Fresh fruit, like blueberries, strawberries, peaches, bananas. Almonds, walnuts. Cinnamon, ground flax seed, honey, dried cherries. Apples.

I am hoping to lose 10 more and then to stay fit. I will send a friend request.

I satisfy my hunger with healthy choices, fruit and veggies. Now my salt cravings I pick nuts as they are more beneficial than potato chips. As for chocolate, well there is not getting around that, but I really limit myself and let it melt in my mouth. Hope that helps

Yep! Mid-Michigan and we have already called it a snow day for tomorrow! :happy:

I too was dircted to my recipe box.

So sorry you feel this way! I can relate to it though. Marriage can be boring, but it can also be the most stable thing in life and sometimes stable is boring. But it is so nice to know that I can come home to the same person every night. We went through the Fireproof/Love Dare study together. It was quite and eye opener…

Great job at working towards your goal! I am wondering if you are working out with a heart rate monitor? The one I use lets me know when my heart rate is too high for my age and weight. I also notice that when my heart rate is too high, then I lose my breath. If you find that your heart rate is in the proper target zone,…

I had the same question when I first started, today I read that I should be eating the the grams to what I what to weigh. In other words, I want to weigh 115 I should be eating no more than 115 grams of lean protein a day. Not sure how true that is but worth researching.

wahoo! Congrats! you look great.:smile:
