Check to see if Youtube has a video on tightening the belt for your model.

My schedule changes from time to time, but right now I'm lifting for thirty minutes and spending sixty on the tread. I teach Step Aerobics twice a week.

Drink plenty of water, eat foods higher in potassium, and take a potassium supplement.

Fantastic!!!!

No. You need to burn more calories than you take into your body to lose weight.

I want to emphasis on not buying shakes when your food calories are out of whack. If you're lifting and bulging out of your pants because you're gaining weight, sucking down shakes is the last thing you want to do.

It's all about the calorie deficit. The number one thing for me is eating the right amount of calories my body needs to maintain my current size. The exercising is like the topping on a cake while the diet is the actual cake, the substance. If I overeat, I don't think I could do enough exercises to compensate for that.

You should put the treadmill on a 2% incline and focus on your stride. Your treadmill speed and street speed should be pretty close if you have a good stride. The reason you want to incline the treadmill is because you need to close the disparity between treadmill running and street running. I use the treadmill in the…

So, after you've measured all your foods in measuring cups, bowls, or whatever, exercised, and cheated only once, you're still not losing weight? Losing weight in an efficient manner takes time--some ten months to a year, but you have to stick with it. Your friend's list is bare, and friends make an enormous difference in…

Devastated is a pretty strong word. Just stay active, eat the right amount of calories, and eventually you'll meet your goals.

I'm a hardcore runner, but walking is a good exercise too.

I don't think the average exercise equipment at the gym will handle anybody over 350 pounds, and the organization might believe your weight causes an unnecessary liability for their organization. Honestly, I wouldn't want anybody in my group fitness classes without a release note from their doctor if they had a BMI of 61.…

You're not using the site intelligently. First of all, you can save your food choices, and use them repeatedly from your own list of items. Your failure comes from not truly engaging in the accessories on this site. Secondly, if you have an extremely hard time finding the product you're eating in the list, add it yourself…

I"m going to reiterate what other people have all ready said: I don't care what everybody tells you about weight, you don't lose without having a calorie deficit. There isn't a magic trick to this. If you eat 3,000 calories of veggies, you'll still be overweight. If you're eating between 1,200 to 1,500 calories of veggies,…

The Simpsons. Classic.

I didn't recognized myself as an American at all until I left the country for a few years. I'm hyphenated, and will die that way.

I'm not familiar with the term "gang-stalked." However, if your husband believes everybody around him is setting him up for failure, out to kill him, or along those lines, and he's preparing for this possibility, he might have the early stages of schizophrenia. For example, he often peeks out the windows, and thinks every…

You're in a precarious situation right now because he has stated on several occasions that he plans on killing himself if you leave. You're going to leave him, and that's pretty much set in stone. You might not leave today, but it's going to happen. When you decide you're done with the relationship, just leave. Write a…

Well done. Well done. You're a super trooper.

There's no need for name calling because a lot of people have mental issues. Anyway, severe depression is crippling, and a mental disorder that warrants a disability check from the government.

3.1 miles will generate an approximate calorie burn between 400 to 500 calories, but it depends on the person's intensity level, weight, and duration. I'd be pretty upset if I ran 3.1 miles, and only burned 200 calories.

You're ready for the cover of a magazine.

I've actually logged every single day. I'm not here just to entertain my friends, but to actually maintain my weight. I can't do that, and sham at the same time.

I have friends who have logged over 1000 days, and I'm at 855.

Calories burned increases with intensity, duration, and weight; therefore, a bigger person putting a lot of intensity in an aerobic activity will burn more calories. A person doing high intensity aerobic activity can achieve a calorie burn of 700 within 40 to 45 minutes.

We're at the beginning stages of the obesity epidemic. By 2020, obesity will be the norm.

You did an awesome job. You're a super trooper.

I usually carry some pepper spray when I'm taking a nice leisurely stroll through the neighbourhood. I don't fear other people attacking me, but every once in a while a hostile dog might approach me. Since I'm not training for anything in particular, I'm running the park right now. But when I do run in the neighbourhood, I…

I think it's imperative to balance logging and living; therefore, I would say log it all.

This particular conversation is nothing more than simple chit chat, and it is under that particular topic on the message boards.
