  • I love your post and I'm down with joining the Zombie survival club! I think it gives you something else to motivate you (and takes your mind off all the other stuff that brings us down). Not that fighting off a Zombie attack is stress free or uplifting in any way!! I'm trying to build up my strength and cardio skills too.…

  • I have found that most elyptical machines say you burn more calories than you actually do. I have a heart rate/calorie burn watch - when I walk/run on a treadmill, the calories burned on my watch and on the machine are almost exactly the same. On an elyptical machine, the machine usually says I burn at least 100-200…

  • I agree that you have to eat back your calories. Of course, some days are just better than others (depending on your mood, amount of sleep, what you ate, etc.). Just listen to your body...if you feel run down, than eat a little more, or change the type of food you are eating. Hope your energy level goes back up soon!

  • I am working out 5 days a week - and I like it! Plus, yesterday was the first warm day of the year (80 degrees in Michigan!!!) and my old capri pants fit! Made me a little bit happier about the warm weather (and shorts) in the upcoming months.

  • I have a huge sweet tooth - it's my biggest challenge when it comes to losing weight. I like to have low calorie hot chocolate on hand at all times. But if I need a chocolate bar, I make sure I buy a single serving. If I have too much in my house, I will eat it!

  • I have had success with WW in the past - lost about 25 pounds. But I had to stop the program when I was pregnant, and decided not to go back because of the cost. I really think the program works (because it is flexible for all lifestyles) but I decided to give MFP a try this go around because it is free! My mother is a…

  • I have a New Balance (purchased at Target). It has a chest strap, but I hardly notice it anymore! Seems to be very accurate and I have had no problems with it. So happy that I bought it!
