  • Thanks for the input! Definitely helpful. The estimated times isn't necessary at all so I think the website to figure it out may make more sense anyway. Don't know why I didn't think if that. I get a pretty accurate read of my HR on my phone so it's not necessary to me for it to have something for that. It just seems like…
  • If the gym has trainers you should look into an assessment or at least one session with the trainer. Assessments are generally free or charge but if you can afford even just one session it'll give you a good starting point. You can also ask trainers on the floor if you're unsure about how to use a piece of equipment and…
  • If you're just walking, risk of shin splints is super low. Take it easy... even if you start with 10-20 minutes a day. I prefer walking outside to treadmills tho. Also, I know a lot of people that like to get yoga or pilates DVDs to use at home and then once you feel a little more comfortable take those classes at the gym.…
  • I LOVE my NutriBullet. I'll be honest, I don't have much to compare it to because I've only used a few others randomly here and there when I wasn't home (and can't even remember which was which) but I think the NutriBullet is amazing.
  • I'm always happy to make new friends. I've been on MFP for years but am just recently getting back to using it so at the moment I don't really have anyone on here to keep connected with. I'm trying to get into running (my endurance has gone to *kitten*) so it's gonna be tough for me and if anyone else is new to running…
  • Hey, I know what you're goin through... I've been having a lot of issues with bingeing lately, like way more than usual. Feel free to send me a message and we can always talk about things. Maybe like if you feel a binge coming on just send me a message and we'll talk instead? I also know for me I've been trying to think of…
  • This is gonna sound like such a little thing but I ate lunch
  • A really easy one would be using a magic circle (or something similar) put it between your thighs laying on your back (feet on the ground, bent knees) you roll up into a shoulder bridge (make sure theres no pain in your lower back) then you pulse the circle... i usually do sets of about 80... and then roll down Leg…
  • FREE!! But that's only cause I work there... before I started working there I went to Crunch and it was like $9.95/month... totally do-able. There was also a one time enrollment fee and there's an annual fee of like $40 but honestly, I had almost no money and I could manage it :)
  • If you want some relief from the bloated feeling you can aid your digestive system by rubbing your belly (I find it easiest to do laying down). You start above your right hip and go up to your ribcage, over and down in a circular motion. It's not a permanent fix, but help you at least feel more comfortable temporarily.…
  • I feel like you could probably use this for gaining weight as far as keeping track of your progress... you would just have to manually adjust your goals to have a higher calorie intake and things like that. I don't know of any sites specifically for gaining though.
  • I keep all my recipes in Paprika, these are one's I've had or am planning on trying soon; Chinese Chicken Stirfry: http://www.eat-yourself-skinny.com/2011/11/chinese-chicken-stir-fry.html (this is AMAZING!!) Eggplant Panini with Pesto: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/07/eggplant-panini-with-pesto.html (just over 300 but if…
  • ill add you... you can never have too much support :)
  • oh god i would die!! there so much of it! always a pony tail :)
  • low fat string cheese yogurt (maybe with granola) trail mix or nutes edamame low calorie popcorn personally, i like things that i can kind of "pick" on while im studying...
  • Totally depends on the person... I mean I feel like if you have more of the binging tendencies, it helps you keep check and you may be less likely to binge knowing you're gonna have to put it down... but then other people may get obsessed with the calories and burning calories and staying under a certain unhealthy number.…
  • I've totally worked out in a bathroom before... but I really don't have to worry about being stuck sitting around at "work" since I'm a dance instructor :D
  • What Makes You Beautiful - One Direction
  • Journal Stop and journal to determine if it's a real craving/hunger or if it's your emotions bringing you to food... or at least stop and reflect on it. Journaling helps sometimes because then it also gives you an outlet for those emotions rather than turning to food which is more likely if you are just reflecting unless…
  • Not a fan... never quite understood how that got to be such a popular placement.
  • I don't wanna say my chest cause I don't really lose it from my boobs but like my collar bone/shoulder-ish type area
  • I saw someone saying they set 3 alarms... I actually do the same even though I get up right away just in case :) But really, just make yourself do it... eventually it'll become more like habit so it won't feel so difficult... it'll probably just be the first few weeks or so that the whole getting out of bed part is gonna…
  • If you can't talk face-to-face write her a note or letter and leave it somewhere she will see it... I do that all the time, usually on my way out the house to give my mom time to process the information. You can ask for her to write back in letter form if it'll be more comfortable for you and go back and forth that way- or…
  • You can vent anytime you need to! Holding it in will only make things harder because it's all gonna have to come out eventually. Hopefully you'll feel better after you get some rest <3
