WHAT ON EARTH!??!?!?!?!? Thats worst then me having to smell chinese food! I cannot believe a gym would do that, what are they thinking? What pisses me off is that the trainers kind of laugh about the smell... REALLY?!?!?! It's totally not funny its really gross and a turn off...

At least its outside.... I would be okay with that, but its all inside the gym, YUCK! lol

I am really happy with my Polar FT40 I got a couple weeks back. I paid $159 I believe at Sports Authority. It has a chest strap which is said to have the most accurate read out compared to wrist and arm ones. I love it because I know how many calories I am ACTUALLY burning compared to the LIEING Machines at the gym, which…

Well, I am sadly disapointed that I didnt hit my 500 calories burned today, I only got 405... Here is why though, I left my FREAKING Ipod at home, I CANT believe something as simple as not having music can sabbotash a workout.... I was also pretty tired today though... Long story short, I HATE ELECTRIC SMOKE…

Well the Calories arent looking so good for me... lol So far I have burned 1468 this week (2/6, 2/7, & 2/9), I took my one day a week off on tuesday... If I burn 500 Cals today, tomorrow, and Sat, that still only puts me at 2968 for the week, so I am going to try and do a little more then 500 then next 3 days to try and…

Hmmm Greek Yogurt comes up alot around here but I have never heard anyone saying how horrible it is... On the other hand, I have never had the kind you are eating so it may well be "yucky". All I can tell you is that my ABSOLUTE favorite is Greek Gods Honey flavored, dont worry it doesnt taste like honey at all... Its so…

Going on a liquid diet period will make you lose weight, whether thats some special cleanse mix, shakes, water, juice etc... But you will gain whatever you lose right back once you start eating again. I dont suggest cleanses for weight loss, but to cleanse your body of toxins... I have had some bowel issues (yea I said it)…

My ABSOLUTE favorite greek yogurt is made by Greek Gods, it's their "honey" flavor, and I am not big on honey so just to give you an idea, it doesnt really taste like honey at all, but it is AMAZING! Unfortunately the calorie content is a bit high, so I dont eat it very often but its goooooood! I usually go for FAGE Total…

Hi! I LOVE the elliptical!!! I cant run for ish, not sure why, maybe its all the extra baggage and my legs get sore easily on a treadmill so the elliptical is perfect for me... I am usually anywhere from 58-70 RMS on it and my heart rate is always in fitness mode and I can go without stopping for my whole workout. I first…

I just found an 80 calorie wrap yesterday at safeway I was so excited. Its by "Smart and Delicious" its a whole wheat wrap. I believe Missions whole wheat wraps contain 210 cals (I know the sun dried tomato does for sure) so this was certainly an exciting find for me. The exact product name: Smart & Delicious™ Low Carb,…

I would suggest you invest in a HRM... 45mins on the elliptical for me is only 450 cals burned... I think for guys you may burn more, not sure, but if its effecting your calories in, it would be worth knowing...

You know I saw those and didnt even pick up the box to look at the facts... I think they just didnt appeal to me, the picture that is... Maybe next time I will give them a try. :)

That depends.... I am typically under my goal on days I work out because I typically do not eat my exercise calories... You never want to be under your calorie goal prior to excercise, and definitley dont want to be under 1200 calories for the day.

I hope you dont use this theory with relationships... AHAHAHAHA! It's 1 strike your out for me! :laugh:

I spread it thin enought to cover half the bagel, which is pretty thin... Then because I am using bagel thins, I just slap the other side on top and eat it that way... Not bad but honestly the cheese gets a little lost in the bagel (thats how thin its spread)...

WOW!!! Thats crazy!!!! I need to find me a Yoga class ahahahaha!!!

Out of curiousity.... Where are you getting your calories burned number? Thats alot of calories, which means you are doing roughly about 2 hours worth of straight cardio? I just want to first make sure you should be eating that much, you dont want to eat more then you should be :)

I just bought some recently too, I got the Herb and garlic. So far I have just put it on some toufaya smart bagels (aka Thin bagels). Pretty tasty but I am not sure how often I will keep buy them... Just seems like alot of calories (even if 35) for such a small wedge that barely makes it all the way around one half of the…

Man!!! I need to get into the business of selling crappy fitness products... BIG money makers here... :noway:

oh, just thought of something else.... Brown some chicken in a saute pan, this disk is best with chicken thighs but breasts would work too.. Add your rice and liquid, and finish cooking the chicken in the rice while it cooks. I do this with a boxed wild rice, comes up very tasty... I havent made it since on my diet so I am…

I would stay away from boulion just because of the SUPER high sodium content. I would cook it in a low sodium chicken broth/stock along with some veggies and spices. The other day I was at Sunflower Market and they had a no sodium added Vegetable boulion, it had very low cals, but again might as well go for some low sodium…

OH YEA! I forgot to mention this... REDICULAS!!! Make it yourself, you can have a much bigger, healthier sandwich for less calories and a whole heck of a lot less sodium...

I do this all the time too... "awww man, I think I am just going to do 30 mins today... Keep pushing... Burn just 50 more calories!" Before you know it you've done 45-60 mins (ya it varies...)

All of those are really great, good motivation!!! WOOT! Made me smile :tongue:

You have alot of calories to eat in a day 1900+ wow, I would definetly suggest you beef up your snacks. You should eat at least 3 meals and 2 snacks a day (maybe even 3 snacks) and an energy drink and baby carrorts isnt going to do much for you. You need to eat more for snacks so maybe do some protein with some fruit, or…

I agree with the first part about encourageing someone to be healthy. I have slowly learned that people who are not in the same mode as you really dont give a crap about hearing how much weight you have lost, how many calories you burned at the gym, how you are eating, or which supplements you are taking... Its a real…

It should be about 1/4 cup for most types of rice. It typically doubles in volumn so 1 cup uncooked rice is equal to about 2 cups cooked, but I would check the package because some can make up to 3 cups cooked.

Pure Fitness & LA Fitness. LA bought out Pure so I have access to all pure gyms and all LA gyms for $20.99 a month.

I would suggest GNC's Women's Ultra Mega Active

I would suggest switching to diet soda, zero calories and diet dr. pepper is actually REALLY good. I indulge in a diet soda every once in awhile (maybe once a week). I think the only thing in it is a little sodium, but I am always way under on my sodium so 100mg of sodium is no biggie to me... Good luck!
