  • Instead of buying check the free on demand on your tv or netflix if you have them. Also, check youtube. There are a lot of free ones where you can try out Hatha and decide if it's for you. You can also decide if you like the instructor then look to see if they have dvds out.

  • If you're looking for something to wear all day look at body bugg or fitbit. If you want to wear it just while exercising look at a heart rate moniter with gps. They are a bit more expensive but, work great. I have a Garmin (get one numbered above 400 if you want it to count calories) and love it.

  • I was diagnosed at 12. I've lost weight with a healthy diet (eating foods that are vitamin, mineral and fiber rich, not just meeting my calorie goal). It was slow but, I don't know that it was slower than others because I haven't walked a day in their shoes. I've found I lose weight quickest when on the Paleo diet. Without…

  • I add a tablespoon(ish) of low sugar preserves to a cup of plain greek yogurt. Yum. For a bonus add a couple tablespoons of GrapeNuts or granola. Double Yum.

  • Not all HRMs count calories. Most do but, not all. HRMs made by Polar numbered below 4 and Garmins in the 300s and lower do not. If you go with a Polar or Garmin you'll be fine on a treadmill. The Timex I had didn't do well on electrical equipment. I'd recommend staying away from Sportline and Timex. The ones I've owned…

  • I rock the pale look and highly recommend you do the same. In my late teens I tanned briefly and had cancer show up in 2 places, back of my ankle and my heel, in my mid-20s. It was attributed to my time in booths. As for paying money so someone can spray chemicals on you to create a "tan." PASS. Long term effects of those…

  • I agree with going to a running store, not a big box store, and getting fitted. Each person is so different and needs different things. I can only run in Nike and Saucony but that may not be the case for someone else. When you go take your old shoes. They'll examine the way the tread is worn and then watch you…

  • One thing to keep in mind is that the RDA is a minimum number. The actual amount that you need may be quite a bit higher depending on your body and food intake. I wouldn't be worried about going over 100%. It's probably a good thing. If you're concerned you can look up the toxic levels for the vitamins you are highest in.

  • In my experience MFP is usually nearly double what my heart rate monitor (with chest strap) says. I'd go with the lower option.

  • Check out CW-X running pants. They're expensive but, worth every dime. They support the knees better than anything else I've tried.

  • Go to a running store, not a big box store. Take your old shoes with you. They'll look at your shoes and watch you walk to run. Then they make recommendations based on your body. I can tell you what shoes I like and work for me but, there's little chance your needs are the same or similar to my needs. edit - walk *or* run

  • It would probably be fine. After each use it is recommended that you wash the transmitter so it shouldn't build up.

  • I heart brussel sprouts (except boiled, yuck). We eat them 2 or 3 times a week. Cut in half and put in a gallon ziploc. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil (flavored it a bonus), sprinkle in sea salt and pepper then close the bag and shake. Pour out on a cookie sheet and roast for 25 minutes at 350. YUM!

  • I too am on my feet all day. I have my activity level set to lightly active. If you are going to log your exercise, in my opinion, you should do the same. If you don't plan on logging your exercise set it to active.

  • Give it a try for a few weeks (don't judge it 'til you've let your body adjust) and see. For many people it works better to eat a bit more.

  • I currently have Polar F6 (pre-FT7) and Garmin 400 series. Both are terrific and have worked through a lot of torture for years. In the past I've had Timex and Sportline. Both worked fine but, only lasted a year. Lame. I'd recommend going with either of the Polars. They are very similar. My understanding is that the FT7 is…

  • Chances are you didn't eat enough to actually gain weight. It takes 3600 calories above your maintenance calories to add a pound. You're probably seeing water weight on the scale. Drink a lot of water to flush the excess sodium and try to exercise a bit extra today. Good luck on your journey.
