Beginner gym equipment schedule?
Hi guys. I just joined a gym today. I've been a member of gyms before but never really got into it. I want to do it seriously this time. There are a lot of machines there I am not very familiar with. Can someone point me to a good beginner's guide/ workout schedule?

Trouble with walking
Guys. Need support/ encouragement :( I have scheduled myself to walk 3.5 miles every day at 8:30 am. It shouldn't be a big deal, right? I have my regular route and my fanny pack etc.... About 15 minutes before I need to leave the house, I start thinking of all sorts of things that piss me off and then I get upset and I…

Rockstar Sugar Free?
What are your thoughts on energy drinks, in particular, Rockstar Sugar Free? It has zero carbs, zero sugar and zero calories.... I was thinking about drinking one with my lunch each day, for a few reasons. 1. It makes me feel fuller. 2. The B vitamins help my mood a LOT, even though I take a B supplement anyway. 3. The…

Menstruation
Sorry if this is a bit graphic for the forum... but I am wondering... What do you ladies do on THOSE DAYS? Those really BAD days where you are in severe pain and bleeding your guts out? I was going to exercise today but oh my god... I am having the worst period ever.

Walking music
Not sure what category this topic goes in. Anyway, I am looking for some ideas of songs to put on my ipod. I dislike walking because it is so boring, however, I LOVE music. My route is about an hour long. I like 90s grunge, some classic rock, 70s, hard rock and some not-too-heavy metal. You know, mainstream type stuff you…

Do you buy clothes that are in your goal size?
I have about 50 pounds to go, but I can't wait to start buying clothes in a size 6 or 4!! I already have some from when I was thin. And, I've bought the cutest Lilly Pulitzer dress on Ebay, with a pink perfume bottle print, in a size 4. I have never really been a clothes person, until I got so fat I couldn't wear cute…

Question for runners
Do you remove callouses on your feet, if you have them? Or do they protect your feet from friction? I ask because I have some callouses on my big toe and heel, and they aren't pretty, but whenever I remove them my feet are so much more tender... :D

I did something stupid.
In March, I walked a 5k. Walked it. And I was so excited that I did so, that I came home and promptly signed up for a half-marathon in November. I was thinking I'd train for it and stuff. Well, now it is almost the end of July an I haven't been training. Of course. Do I even stand a chance? Is there any way possible that I…

Should I weigh in?
I have a little question. At the doctor's today, I was 158. My scale at home says 163. Should I weigh in at 158? What would you do? :blush:

Rock, metal, grunge lovers :)
Hi, I'm looking for buddies! In particular, music lovers. It would be great to have some buddies that I can chill out with (virtually, or otherwise) and talk about good stuff like rock, grunge, metal... or anything else that is interesting. I get so bored and lonely and depressed trying to be all Suzie Homemaker all the…

New, currently 166? lbs
Hello, I'm new to MFP. I have always been intimidated by the whole logging food thing, but I've tried it here for the last couple of days and it is pretty easy. I really have to do this, though. I need to lose weight. I've been thin all my life, until a couple of years ago, when I was put on Cymbalta and Abilify for…
