  • I can see why everyone is piling on the OP by the way her post was phrased. Still, I have to wonder how long she has been married (and if and how long some of you have been married). You're right, there weren't many positives but I did find a few (granted they are mostly "I" statements but getting fit, after-all, requires…

  • Took a lot of guts to put your post out there! So, are you engaged in a fitness routine of any kind? Sounds like a look at nutrition and a good fitness plan are in your future. Sincerely hope you reach your goals. Good luck.

  • At a minimum you could do a few dumbbells (or select-a-weights) and couple that with a few bands. The bands can be used very creatively to lean out and tone. I would also consider investing in a weight bench. Add a few medicine balls, Bosu or Stability Ball and your well on your way! Take this and the advice from Lenora428…

  • Basically echoing what has already been said... I Did P90X and lost about 17 pounds and 3 or 4 inches off my waist. It is definitely a time commitment so be prepared. Following that up with Insanity (about 2 weeks left) and as mentioned above, it is a great cardio program that will kick your butt. I can definitely see a…

  • To further this thread I wonder if someone can answer this question. Does a HRM consider the Cals you would have burned normally (standing still)? If not shouldn't I subtract ~80 cals/hr (1900/day) from all HRM calculations?

  • Sorry you didn't get more responses... I got the Zephyr about a month ago and absolutely love it. I use it with my android phone and in combination with Endomondo. Unfortunately I took it to the gym the other night (coaching volleyball) to do a little experiment and I misplaced it on the way out! I have to get a new one…

  • So funny! I was exactly the opposite... I was lifting all the time and *thought* I was getting the results I wanted. Adding the cardio of P90X and the lifting routines made A HUGE DIFFERENCE! I am in by 3rd week of phase 2 classic and I am determined to make the 90 days. Dropped 12 pounds of fat and literally had to go buy…

  • @wdamisch: I cut Soda completely out of my diet about 45 days ago. I was drinking 3-4 20oz sodas a week (non-diet). I have lost 10lbs and I feel great (cut out fast food too). I have replaced soda with the occasional Life Water Zero which, believe me, is not the same as soda but at least you get a guild free alternative to…
