  • I hear ya on the eating bad....Yesterday my friend and I went for coffee and he always gets me a Boston Creme donut I didn't eat it for breakfast cuz I already had oatmeal.....the Dunkin Donut/Baskin Robbins place had 31 cent scoops after 5...so after work, he took me for a waffle cone dipped in chocolate with 3 scoops of…
  • The funniest thing with the Plyometrics from P90X....The last time I tried doing it was last year. My ex was doing it and I told him..this can't be that hard...He swore it was just as hard as when he went through boot camp in the military...So I tried it. Now do to an injury I had years ago...my left leg is MUCH weaker…

  • Welcome from Chicago! I love this app and site too! My co-worker introduced me to it. You are right...just knowing that I have to plug what I eat in, I am so much more conscious of it now. I was using another calorie counter for awhile but the food data base was not as extensive as the one on here. So I found myself…

  • I have 2 Zumba DVDS, but the actual classes are sooooo much fun! My gym doesn't have them to often but when they do..I AM THERE! The energy is different in a Zumba class than any other I have taken. Definitely try it.

  • Oh....I have a weakness for McDs fries! Just the smell of them...YUM! It's ok...tomorrow is a new day, Clean Slate!
  • Welcome from Chicago! Keep up the good work!
  • I too was in school and found it hard to work out...I'd read notes and study on the stationary bike or elliptical. Little things like taking stairs when you can or walking a little further to your car all add up after awhile. I had a friend who recorded lectures and listened to them while she took a walk along the lake.…
  • Welcome! I just joined yesterday! So far it's a great site! Best wishes on your fitness goals!
