I would be interested in suggestions on weights as well. I tend toward cardio only but know I need some balance.

Hmm I have never tried oats in a smoothie. Might give it a try.

pineapple!

ONE WORD! AMAZING!

Yes I would trust it. That's exactly where I wear mine and I think the numbers are quite accurate especially if you are in calorie fat burning zone. I love my HRM!

Completely agree. People are hitting on people and writing some pretty racey stuff so who gets to decide on what is 'appropriate' for the MFP forums. It was titled appropriately. I didnt need to go to the link or read the story. This is very close to my heart and my soul. It happened to me for the first 21 years of my…

not talking about the reality of this stuff perpetuates it in secret. Its important to not dwell but ignorance is NOT bliss. This is real!

\ it happens more then people could ever imagine. I know this personally :(

I will never forget! never.

that is awesome! it really is the little things!

Welcome! I wish you best success. You can do it!

Payroll :-)

Not being able to fit in my 1X jeans. I promised I would never get to the x's. Also taking the stairs at work and having to take a long break when I got to the top because I couldn't breathe. Also couldnt keep up with my grandkids and that breaks my heart. Now I am doing the slip and slide, playing duck duck goose and bike…

Get to go see the production of Mama Mia- girls day out! so excited. Even bought a dress!

I was very skeptical about eating my exercise calories back. I thought it would be a recipe for disaster. Anotther thing I did is stayed off the scale all week. I think I need to be eating a bit more but I am netting around 1200 calories a day. Just need to expand my food choices a bit :-)

Good luck to you...even though it has nothing to do with luck :-) its hard work and it does take time but you can do this! The website is amazing and the support is incredible. I hope this is a great tool for you to get to your goal.

CONGRATULATIONS!

p.s. not just everyday kind of walking. walking with purpose. 3.5- 4 mph heart rate anywhere from 122-148 (when I do the Leslie Sansone part of my walking adventure my heatr

I am burning around 500 calories daily just walking. I have a HRM so I know my readings are accurate. I walk anywhere from 45-75 minutes each day. Not all at once. It is broken up due to my work schedule. It works and it is cardio, it burns a lot of calories.

subway is my only fast food and that has become a treat in itself. I dont really even want the other stuff. I probably get subway about 1 time every 2 weeks.

well I am believin and considering the folks I see on here who are losing weight. Not crash diet but changing the way we think about food and exercise. I believe was not giving my body enough fuel. Today I was so hungry all day. I made good choices but I was hungry all day. So I added some earlier morning choices, cut out…

walking is cardio- therefore it is exercise and should be counted. Walking is the best thing I do. It burns a lot of calories. I agree with you. I also only count other activities if my heart is really working out and it is out of the ordinary.

log everything you eat. be honest with yourself. drink a boatload of water. get moving.

I have a water bottle that holds 20 ounces. I take it everywhere with me. It has a dial on it that helps me keep track of how much I have drank. My goal is 6 of those during my workday and then at least 1 more after I get home. But I have also never really struggled to drink water but it is a nifty water bottle :-)

I've got nothing to lose. I will try it! I'm a slow wit, but improvin' :-)

thank you. It is sinking it. I appreciate the green number hint. I can do that!

way to go! Thats something to be very proud of!

I have 6o more to lose. Down 19 but have a long ways to go. You can add me if you like.

when I started the Leslie Sansone's walk videos I felt the same way. It takes time dear. It took me a week or a little longer to be able to do mile 1. Each day I did what I could, pushed a little farther then the day before.My shins and calves hurt so bad I thought I could never do it. In about a months time, I am now able…
