I'll be your Xbox friend! Your Shape 2012 GamerTag Log
Hey Everyone! Do you have an Xbox Kinect? Did you go out and buy Your Shape 2012? I bought it today and I'm hooked. I'm very excited about this purchase, and it's better than a gym membership in my case. (I have a baby at home) It's lonely though! None of my friends have this game! Through Xbox live and ubisofts website…

Need Advice re: Strength/Circuit Training
Hello! My lovely friend and I have been going to the gym twice a week (It's the guaranteed commitment we can make with small children at home) at 6am. We've been successful and have been keeping at it for a month now, only missing one week when our children were sick. Anyway, we are currently doing a routine recommended by…

LOL- My hubby just made me laugh so hard
Because we are nerdy. I proudly told him that I burned off 700 and some calories by heavy housecleaning and an hour of shovelling a huge amount of snow (got over a foot last night!) to which he replied "How many did I burn off playing 90 minutes of Skyrim?" It made me laugh. Too hard.

Embarrassed! I need help with PANTS for my apple shape
Ladies! I went to a cardio and sculpt class today. I HATE these classes.... not because they are hard, but because I can't find a damn pair of pants to stay on my body. I have the awful apple shape. Skinny face, arms, small boobs, skinny legs, and a big tummy. People tend to ask me if I'm pregnant, even though I'm not. I…

Ruh Roh.
So I've kind of fallen off the MFP wagon this week. Thanksgiving+family+airplanes+hospitals+appointments and flu shots and crap makes for a busy busy week. On the plus side, my hubby bought me a Withings smart scale for my birthday to help me with my getting healthy goals. The scale appeals to the nerd in me so I'm pretty…

442 calories left today.. should I...
I've been eating very well today. Tonight I'm going out with a couple of really good friends that I met during our hospital experience last year for one of their birthdays. She wants to go out for cake. Should I eat ONE piece of cake? Or sit and visit. Seriously considering the cake.

Counting calories burned for Aquasize
Any ideas? I'm going to take a deep water aqua size fitness class tonight. It runs an hour. It isn't in the cardio database and I'm at a complete loss on how to calculate calories without a heart monitor and I will never remember my own avg pulse rate throughout.... nor am I sure I'm co-ordinated enough to take my pulse…

MFP suggested I eat 1320 to loose weight.. BUT..
MFP also tells me my BMR is 1643. I increased my original 1320 to 1470.. but is that enough? I am now officially confused. If I have to eat 1643 to keep my heart beating/etc, then why does MFP tell me to eat 1320? Should I eat 1320 to loose weight? Or 1643? I'm just all around confused. Thanks!

Um.. Whoa. Wore the ft4 and am concerned!!!
so I wore my spanking new ft4 for week 2 day 2 of couch to 5k. I did my warm up of brisk walking and my hr went right up to 130. I started onto my first jog and my hr went immediately up to 185. This didn't bother me, but my sister was with me and she exclaimed that that was not normal nor healthy. She made me slow down to…

Stressing out!
As the subject says, I'm stressing out! I'm finding it hard to include fitness into my routine. I'm doing intense feeding therapy with my 1 year old. She just came off a feeding tube and if she doesn't get enough calories or fluids in a day we will have to put the tube back. It's a constant battle of counting my calories…

Newb with a new Heart Rate Monitor
Hey guys! I'm new to weight loss and fitness. This is my first serious try. I thought I would buy a HR monitor but I need advice. What do I do with it?! LOL Do I wear it all day? Do I let it count the calories burned throughout an entire day and log those? Do I wear it only when active? I bought the Sportline Solo 915…

Way under on calories.. What should I do?!
Hello! I am supposed to eat 1,350 calories a day. It's been a busy day and its 8pm and I've had 776 calories for the day. I need to eat 544 more. My hubby tells me just to be in a deficit for the day. That one day won't put me into starvation mode. My sister wants to go for ice-cream. I don't know what to do. I don't want…

Eating back calories? huh? I'm confused!
Hey everyone! I'm new to the site. I've been lurking the forums and have noticed a lot of people talking about eating back their calories. I don't understand what that means. MFP tells me that I can eat 1320 calories a day to loose 1.5lbs a week, so, I've been eating 1320 calories plus 30 mins of exercise a day. Maybe I…

New, Nervous, Complicated!
Hey everyone! I need to loose weight. My BMI I just learned is 30.6. That puts me .6 into the obese category. I've lived a very stressful existence this past year. As I type this, I watch the clock to make sure we won't be late for my daughters Dr. appointment. She was born last September at 30 weeks gestation which was…
