:smile: I notice the longer I do it I can judge when I've consumed enough calories for a meal or even if I have enough calories for the day...something that I used to ignore in my heavy days! Welcome and good luck!

Sometimes I get the pins and needles when I am on the elliptical just from my foot not actually moving for 30-40 minutes. I've heard other people mention that the same thing happens to them but you might want to run it by a doctor just in case. good luck :smile:

I took the LSATs a few years back and what I found interesting is that I got the same score on my pre-test as I did on the actual exam (the same happened to me with my ACTs). I noticed as I practiced my score got better until I got to a point where I overthought everything and my score went back down. My recommendation is…

That's what I've been doing and I'm starting to notice a difference. My recommended intake is 1200 and after working out I go to about 1500 but I'm always too full by the end of the day and leace the last 50-100 calories alone. I don't want to force myself to eat but if that's wrong than I will adjust.

Are you suppose to eat all of your exercise calories? I was set up for 1200 calories a day and if I go under my calories when I close out I will get a note saying I need to eat more, but if I eat over 1200 calories and still have some calories left that note does not come up. Should we be eating all of our exercise…

This was happening to me for quite a few months. I have gotten a little more strict with my diet and added an additional 20 minutes to my workout and I am starting to see results again. See if you can make a few tweaks (and make sure you're honest with your food diary) and you should start seeing a change. Good Luck!…

I love McDonalds! I could eat there every day if I could. I limit my addiction to once every couple weeks and I order a cheeseburger and share an order of fries with my husband. I think I leave even more satisfied than if I had ordered an entire value meal for myself. When you go, try ordering smaller sandwiches and fries,…

30 minutes on the Wii Fit can be pretty tough stuff!

How accurate is MFP? If I do 30 minutes on the elleptical the machine shows less calories burned than MFP does. And no, I am not going to go out and buy a HRM...I just want to know if I should use the machine or MFP's calories!

I am so excited to get the EA fitness game! :happy:

I just tried the strawberry Kashi cereal bars this morning...is it just me or are they really sugary tasting? :frown: I have issues when things are overly sugary...I was really hoping that I would like them!

I honestly don't know but I am guessing that they are going on the show knowing that what they could win would be more than what they are losing by not having a job. I also notice that most of the contestents become motivational speakers and personal trainers when they are done, I'm sure you'd have to pay a lot of money to…

the same thing keeps happening to me but as long as my jeans are getting loser on me I am not going to complain! Keep up the good work!!

If I find myself walking to the fridge I grab a bottle of water. I will also walk my dog around the block so I am concentrating on something else.

I second "Eat This Not That". I keep my copy in the car to help pick where to go when I eat out and what I should order...and what meals to avoid!

have you tried a sports bra that is one size smaller? if there are any running speciality stores around you i would go there for product recommendations.

the BL DVD's are on sale this week at target until Saturday! I want to get the yoga one...can anyone recommend it?

I read somewhere that your brain releases more endorphins just thinking about eating food like chocolate or cupcakes than when you actually eat them. I have learned that I am more than happy just looking at the cupcakes or whatever it is that someone has brought in. I will walk by and look at them a few times and by 3 or 4…

Thanks for the review! I see that they sell them at Disney World now and was tempted to buy a pair. I'm waiting to hear someone tell me that they're worth getting!

I saw it over the weekend. It was really good but I think small children could get upset at certain parts (I know I would have cried if I saw it when I was 5). After the first predator/prey scene I noticed that most of the small children had left the theatre. It still is great...I can't wait until the next Disney Earth Day…

Fit Flops are sandals that simulate barefoot walking and claim that they help tone your butt and legs when you wear them. You can find them on victoriassecret.com and bathandbodyworks.com. I saw them at one of the B&BW semi annual sales one time but they didn't have my size. I know they're no substitute for exercise but…

Has anyone tried Fit Flops? I am thinkng about buying a pair to try out (hey it can't hurt, right?) and was wondering if anyone had any opnions. :smile:

I love my Wii Fit but I wouldn't use it as my only form of exercise, but I work up a sweat after about 30 minutes on it. EA has a new Fitness game for the Wii Fit that I would like to try. I have heard reviews that it is better than the game that comes with the Wii Fit.

One of the newest issues of Shape or Self magazine did an article on the best running shoes. You might want to read their reviews.

my last gym used to have wine and cheese nights! I think a fruit dish and some bottled water would have been a much better idea for an after workout snack!

I have a quesadilla maker...not really necessary but it's fun to use!

Shape is a great magazine.
