Same here, slightly bow-legged ex ballet kid. My knees don't touch when I stand feet together so my thighs don't touch until they get to the top. Just don't stand with your feet together and no one will notice whether or not there's a gap.

I have a polar f6 that I bought years ago on new ebay for around $60 I think. It does have a pink watch but I don't think it matters if you get a men's or women's HRM bc you program it with your stats: height, weight, age, gender etc. Mine has a chest strap, and that's my preference as I've never used one w/o a chest strap.

I'm a SAHM these days but when I was working some of the women in my office would bring their walking shoes and walk at lunch. I don't know what the weather's like where you are but if it's not too cold right now, you can maybe get some other peeps together for some walking at lunch.

Glad I came across this post. I was a water drinking fiend but haven't been drinking as much bc I just get super busy chasing my twins around but after reading this, and refilling my nalgene bottle, I'm drinking my water again.

I can only practice on a completely empty stomach. I even wait until the class is over for water I just can't do planks, inversions etc with anything in my stomach w/o feeling like I'm going to barf.

I see a baby in your profile pic, lifting that little one will get you strong! If not I'll lend you my twins j/k Seriously though, carrying a child, baby bag and all the other crapola that comes with having kids means you're stronger than you think.

I get a 3 mile run in before I work out with a trainer for 45 min. I just finished my last training sesh so going forward, I'd like to do the exercises I was doing w Tracie on my own and run my *kitten* off of course. ;)

running and yoga and i'd like to try zumba. i heard from a friend that the first time she took a zumba class she felt like she was in the middle of flash mob and didn't know the moves but she's been doing it and loves it. i'll have to give it a try.

I second the nalgene bottle they're BPA free and come in large mouth and small mouth types. I like the large mouth bottle bc I think it's easier to clean.

I wear a HRM when I practice hot yoga. My calorie burn was 500ish cals for a 90 minute class.

I picked the entree that he'll make and he picked dessert that I'll make...that's v-day married-people-with-twin-toddlers style ;) We're having shrimp scampi over angel hair w a salad and carrot cake cupcakes. I'm hitting the gym tues to allow for indulging in the cupcakes.

This is probably super dumb, but how does water help you lose weight?

Ditto here. One of my twins is a ginge.

Do you have a HRM? I'd wear one for hot yoga and found out I was torching close to 500 calories in a 90 minute class. Find out what your burn is and just enter it as your own exercise.

I could have written this post, except I haven't enjoyed any significant loss at all, but it sounds like we should be eating more. So lets give it a try and see if we see any change...if not I like wantsasmallbum's idea and just get a new scale.

You may need new shoes. If I'm starting to feel pain in my legs/ankles/hips nine times out of ten it's bc I've wore out my shoes. If it's not the shoes maybe you need to cross train.

I am nearly 2 years postpartum after my twins and the rest of my bod seems to have bounced back nicely, all things considered, but my middle is still soft as can be. I noticed I still have a bit of a ridge that pops out when I do any crunch type movements and asked a trainer at my gym about it and she suggested I talk to…

When I was training I always tried to get my long runs in in the am bc I'd worry about running after eating for an afternoon run. You said you don't like peanut butter but what about almond butter or is it all nut butters that you're not a fan of? You could have a hummus sandwich w some veggies and cheese. Do you use GU? I…

My PB was 26 min yesterday on the treadmill

Before you do any major ab work you should make sure you don't have diastasis recti (also known as abdominal separation) a disorder defined as a separation of the rectus abdominis muscle into right and left halves. If you still have ab separation you need to work on repairing that first bc some ab exercises can make the…

I have a logistical question about this app. Where's the best place to put your iPhone while doing the exercises? Do you set it down while you do the exercise and then pick it up again to see what the next move is? And then I guess you don't wear the ear buds right? Sorry if this is a lame question but I'm just trying to…

02/02 = 55 min running and weights 02/04 = 80 min running 135/1000

I'd like to get in on this. I'm a new MFPer and need to motivate to get my exercise up. 02/02: 31 minutes running + 20 minutes weights = 55 min so far 55/1000 mins
