Was that just over 400, or was that over 4000? If it's 4000, then FOR SURE it is inaccurate! lol I just walked about 4 miles, and it says that *I* burned over 800 calories! That CAN'T be accurate! It took me just over an hour to do, but I was barely breaking a sweat. I am going to invest in a heart rate monitor (I like the…

I think it's also important to note that most of us on here started as obese/overweight and/or sedentary. Sure, fitness buffs lose fat waaaaay differently. But, what is the best for people who truly NEED to lose weight? 75% of Americans overeat--so yes, diet is a start, but if they want to lose the weight faster, they've…

I think the latest studies that rant about cardio "making you fat" is because people generally aren't counting calories, and then end up eating more throughout the day when they do cardio. That being said, it is pretty well-documented that the more muscle you have, the more calories your body burns each day. AND, as we get…

Thanks everyone for all your responses. I'm thinking it might have had to do with the dinner I had the night before... I will be very vigilant the next few weeks and see what kind of response my body gives. I appreciate your input:)

I have a hard time squeezing in a good lunch because of lunch duty, club meetings and tutoring during lunch. I often have a hard time finding time to use the bathroom throughout the day. For lunches, I like the Kashi frozen lunches--they *are* high in sodium, but they are usually high in protein and fiber. I also like…

I'm in the same boat:( I'm working on it though!!! I used to be able to do over 30 proper push-ups in one minute--not super, but something I'd like to be able to do again. Of course, I was 50 lbs lighter. *That* might have something to do with it;)

I agree--making small goals might be the way to success. I am also 5'8" with a medium frame. I remember weighing 148 when I graduated from high school eons ago. Of course, THEN I thought I was fat, but looking back at old pictures of me in swimsuits, I was just about right. I have set my goal weight at 160, but I have…

Just wanted to say... You don't HAVE to open it up! The way I see it, I am here to lose weight. I also look for support. But, just like you don't have to advertise to the world that you are on a diet (though that helps for some), you don't have to make your food diary public, or even share it with a few "friends" if you…

I can completely relate to you! I was never fast enough to qualify for Boston, but in 2004, just before I got pregnant with my first child, I ran the Long Branch Marathon in New Jersey. Since then, after having two children (key word is AFTER, because I gained less than 15 lbs in each pregnancy, and lost those 15 lbs…
