  • Thanks for all the opinions guys! So next question is: Which will get me in better shape, running on the treadmill (running faster and much longer amounts of time) or running the track (20 min max right now)??
  • I was really diggin the Multigrain Cheerios until I saw the sugar content. I'm afraid these are going to be the same deal, but I will still try them! Just for a treat
  • What about the Ab circle pro? I want to try it but it seems too good to be true, and spendy ($200)
  • You don't know how much many of us needed to hear that today! Thank you very much
  • Don't get discouraged! It may take your body a little while to catch up with your efforts. I too have just started working out and lost a lot in the first two weeks but have tapered off for the last two weeks. Just make sure you are drinking lots and lots of water and keep at the working out. Sometimes I don't see anything…
  • I try to work out first thing on my days off. Then shower and get dresses right away! It really helps get me out of my PJs and stay off that couch! And if I do want to relax and watch some tv after, I know that I've just put in work on my fitness and health so it's easier to I make healthy food choices. Don't get…
  • I just started the couch to 5k yesterday! I tried it once before but was too out of shape to stick with it. Now that I've been using this site and working out on a regular basic, I'm starting out at week 2 and 3 on the running. I hope I can do it this time, I too carry all my weight around my stomach, hips, and back! Good…
  • Vodka (unflavored) or Gin with soda water and lime. Soda water had no calories, sugar, carbs, or sodium.
  • You could try some natural honey. I'm not sure how much sugar it would add but it is natural sugar, which this site does not separate from other sugars. Or you could switch to hot tea which has the same amount of caffeine. Hope this helps!
  • I was wondering the same thing on my stationary bike. I ride for an hour at about 16mph and it says I burn 1300 calories. I keep my heart rate at about 130. I am 5'7" and currently weigh 240. Accurate?
  • Holy cow! It's really eyeopening when you start looking into what you are putting in your mouth! I can't believe some of those sandwiches, and you know most people would eat those with chips and a soda too! Man oh man! Thanks for sharing! Oh and this led me to look at the 40 best and worst beers, it's worth looking at too…
  • I have the same problem! I am very new to working out/running on the treadmill and am stumped on ways to entertain myself. I work out in my garage and the treadmill in right up against the wall, so I just stare at a spot on the wall for as long as I can. I also want to read but can't when I'm running. My thought was so…
