Get a Heart Rate Monitor. Once you know your heart rate, there are formula (search the mesasge board or google it) to help you figure out how many calories you burned. It is based on you age, weight, heart rate, length of the work out. I just ordered my HRM a couple of days ago on Amazon, it just shipped. So, I'm looking…

A balanced diet through out the day. So if you think you have had enough protein for the day, go for more vegi and fruit, along with smaller portion of the protein for dinner if desired.

Interesting. No problem reading at all.

Sounds painful and serious. Do you think you might want to check with your doctor?

So, here is the deal (by example), the result is what you should be eating at the end of the day. Basic 1200, if no exercise: 1200 + 0 = 1200 Basic 1200, if say running and burn 300 calories: 1200 + 300 = 1500 (eat around this number). You need to eat your workout calories (the 300 in this example). Your muscle needs more…

I'm with you, don't we all need inspiration and motivation. For me, it seems watching how others eating/doing help me knowing I'm not alone at all.

When does the "next week" starts?

Which color did you get? I might have chosen the wrong color. Looks like the "black/gold" is $85. I was looking at the bright red one.

I have a stack of workout DVDs (different types) at home, just for one of those busy days, and I will put in one of the DVDs and workout at home. Save time, and feel good. It's also good for a "resting" day, which I can put in a Yoga DVD and get some good stretch.

I've been looking at the FT7 on Amazon today, it's not longer $85, but $109. Bummer.

Some gyms offer free assessment and one hour consult from the trainer. Like mine, Lifestart, I was being measured and given a exercises program target for my needs (3-4 days cardiovascular exercises, and 2 days weight training). You can check out if any gym around you offer something similar.

Has been trying just low carb, didn't help with losing weight doing it alone. Need exercises. It's hard to go with low carb, trying to stick with whole grain when I eat carb, etc.

I'm new here too. Support system is very helpful. Sending my friend request...
