  • I texted her, but haven't gotten a reply yet. I told her your were looking for her!
  • I'll help you pay for shipping! Stupid witches on that show. I hope they never win the weigh in and get voted off quickly! Amy C needs to band with the black team if she wants to stick around! I think if they get caught cheating or throwing a weigh in on the show, they should have to go home....
  • I PM'd her yesterday and she hasn't read it yet.... let me see if I can find her....
  • Hello and welcome! :flowerforyou:
  • I was going to say that it's time to find some new friends, but then I read your profile and saw that you are in Sweden studying. Oh boy! Scandinavian culture is very different. My dad is Danish so I can understand what you are saying. Drinking and eating is a way of life there. They probably don't understand why you don't…
  • I like working out so that I can eat more and still stay within my calories :bigsmile: :bigsmile: But, staying within my calories is the top priority because I can work out all I want, but if I still eat more than I burn, I'm not going to lose any weight. It's nice to know that if I don't make it to the gym (like this…
  • Polar F6 can be purchased at about any sporting goods store. It stores your information in the watch part for a while. I just transfer over what I did for the day into my exercise journal here on MFP. So, I end up with the info a couple of places. I love the Polar F6 and recommend it to everyone!
  • A lot of the wrist ones will tell you calories burned if you start the chronometer (counting up) then have it read your HR. It's when you start the Exercise or chronometer that it starts calculating calories burned. At least, that's how my MIO brand one worked.
  • Okay people, this is the third day in a row that I've started this thread, and I didn't even run today! :grumble: I ended up raking leaves in my front yard for two hours (600 calories gone, bless that HRM! :bigsmile: ) last night and am paying for it today. Sore legs, sore arms, sore wrists, but luckily no blisters. So, I…
  • mmmmm candy corn, especially mixed with peanuts. One of our favorite fall treats.
  • Ooooh a baby! :love: :love: :love: :smooched: :happy: That's a question for your Doc, but I'm sure that if you were doing it before, you can keep doing it for a while. As long as you aren't a high risk pregnancy.... :flowerforyou:
  • Laura - that's awful! Hopefully it's minor, but you definitely don't want to make it worse. I would call your doc for an exam and then see about some PT. I know it can be a little expensive, but PT does wonders. I have friends that are PT's and they always have ways to reduce my sore spots with stretches and exercises.…
  • Where is everyone this morning? I expected a post a long time ago, but decided to start one again today. Hope everyone is well! :flowerforyou: I had spin class this morning and then lower body weight lifting. My legs hurt BAD! It's a good hurt, but whoo boy. Tomorrow is running again, at least that's the plan. Happy…
  • I guess you could turn your HRM on and lay in bed for an hour and take a nap or not do anything at all. Then multiply your calories burned by 24. I don't know if my BMR is accurate, but I did wear my HRM all day once, just to see how many calories I burned on a typical day (without working out). I found I was more active…
  • Welcome back Lauren! We've missed you around here! I know what you mean about summer craziness. It happened to me too, but gotta push through it. I keep thinking of where I could be if I hadn't given in to the stress! Oh well, working my way there now! Good luck! :flowerforyou:
  • I love my Polar F6! I finally broke down and got one and haven't regretted it at all! I've even worn it all day on the excercise setting, just to see how many calories I burn in a typical day. I burned way more than I had thought, so I was able to up my calories :bigsmile: I started with one from Wal-mart that was just a…
  • Wakey Wakey everyone! I got in a 3K this morning. I was a little slow getting out of bed, so didn't have my full length of time at the rec center. But, I still got 2 miles in, so that's not too bad, especially since it's been 2 weeks since I was on the track. :noway: Now that everyone seems to be healthy again, I can get…
  • :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: It's not like she's never hijacked one before!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
  • between my kids and myself being sick these past couple of weeks, my exercise has tanked. But, everyone is well again, so getting back to it. Going to do The Firm Boot Camp dvd tonight, then get up and run in the morning. I'm still here, just trying to get back into the groove. Happy Monday! :flowerforyou:
  • I'm in Northern Indiana, about 1/2 hour east of South Bend. I just have to jump on the toll road and I'm heading to Toledo! In fact, we spent Labor Day weekend at Maumee Bay State Park. It was so much fun and it's one of our favorite places to camp. My husband's family lives in central Ohio also, about 1/2 way between…
  • Tami - you guys look great! It must have been so much fun! I'm heading to Indy in a couple of weeks and hoping to meet up with SoupNazi and Theresa and maybe some other Hoosier pals. Will post pics if it happens. Kellch - I'm only a few hours away from Toledo..... :bigsmile:
  • :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Indiana girl here and I didn't know it had a name! I love "fry sauce". I haven't had it in a long time now, but I mixed it up when I get fries here at work. Best way to eat them....

  • when you jog for 60 minutes, what is your distance? a 5K is equal to 3.1 miles, so if you are already going farther than that in your 60 mins, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Good luck!
  • :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Time to put the toilet lid down! Now if they could just train it to use the toilet instead of the litter box...
