Random Cravings
Don't you hate when you get some random craving and no matter what you do you just can't stop craving it?!?! This morning while driving to work I got a crazy, random craving for mini corn dogs and all day long it's been on my mind making me think I am hungry when I probably really am not. Although I do like mini corn dogs,…

Should I change my calorie goals?
Every so often I start wondering what I should have my calorie goal set at and I check all these different sites and calculators. I come up with a BMR around 1440 and a TDEE of 2232.... So for a moderate deficit, TDEE -20%, I should be eating about 1800 cals a day..... I know people post stuff all the time about eating…

BMF says I burned way less than Polar HRM!!
This morning I did a workout dvd for just over an hour and my HRM said I burned 668 cals but my BMF only says I burned 387!!! That almost 300 cals less!! I have only had the BMF for about 5 days but pretty much every workout since I've been using it shows I burned about 200 cals less than what my HRM shows. There was one…

Protein To Go
Has anyone tried the Protein To Go shake "shots"? I am thinking about buying some but I was wondering how the flavors are? They sound good and are 28g of protein and only 116 calories. I am hoping someone has tried them and can give me some feedback before I order some tomorrow!

B210K App?
I have an Android phone and I want to download an app for it but unfortunately there aren't any free ones. There are 2 in the Android market, one for $1.99 called B210K Pro by Guy Hoffman and one for $2.99 called Bridge to 10K by Bluefin Software. Does anyone have any experience with either of these that can advise me…

Check In
Just wanted to say I did my 2nd day of Start It Up today. My thighs and butt are a little sore from all the squats and lunges but it feels pretty good. I felt like I had a little less energy doing it today possibly b/c I did w5d1 of c25k just before it. But, I still made it through the whole thing fairly well. How is…

HRM Chest Strap Question
Could having the chest strap too loose cause your calories burned to be less than it really is? I have noticed my calories burned sometimes seem like less on the same activities I have previously done and I thought it was because I am becoming more fit so I would have to work harder to burn the same amount of calories but…

New Running Shoes
I am running my first 5K next Sunday and I don't own running shoes. I have an old pair of Sketchers that are too big for me that my feet slide around in and a pair of New Balance toning shoes, which is what I usually wear when running, that are comfy but I am not sure they are the best for running in. I have a lot of knee…

My Prayer
Dear God, My prayer for 2012 is for a fat bank account & a thin body. Please don't mix these up like you did last year. AMEN!

Small NSV
I was having a "fat" morning so I picked out a t-shirt to wear instead of a fitted shirt and a co-worker of mine just made a comment that my shirt was too big and looked like a sleep shirt. I know it sounds like an insult but I was very pleased to hear it!! Guess I need to "retire" this t-shirt.

Soooo Disappointed :-(
I have been on MFP for almost 2 months and things had been going great! I lost 20 lbs and a bunch of inches. I've been exercise everyday and have been really dedicated to changing my life. Well my weight loss has slowed down in the last week and my measurements didnt change at all last week so I started thinking maybe I…

Treadmillers
I am doing C25K on the treadmill. I did W4D3 this morning. Week 4 went pretty well and overall I think I am doing pretty good. I have signed up for my first 5K on Dec 11th and I am so excited/nervous about it. I don't really have any opportunities to run outside so I am worried that I will be in for a rude awakening when I…

How am I going to be ready for a 5K next month??
So I did W5D3 today and it was pretty tough. For the first time since I started the program I actually wanted to quit and was thinking "well at least I tried" but I did finish the 20 min run and felt pretty good afterward for not stopping. It occured to me though that I am not sure how this 30 min program is going to have…

Did they change these dvd's
I ordered my Slim in 6 back in like 2006 and on mine start it up is 24 mins, ramp it up is 47 mins and I think burn it up is 54. When I look at it online it says they are 36 mins, 57 mins and 64 mins...... Are mine out dated? Have they changed the workout?? What do you guys have?
-
People are noticing!
I saw a co-worker today that I haven't seen i a while and he made a comment about me losing weight and I took the wise Jillian Michael's advice and said thank you instead of minimizing my weight loss or saying how much I still need to lose. When friends tell you how awesome you look, drop the "I still have more to go"…

Anyone want to check out my diary??

C25K question
I have been doing the C25K everyday since I started and I am a couple days in to week 3 and I heard you are only supposed to do the C25K 3 times per week.... So my question to those who are doing the program or have already done it, what do you do on the other days of the week that you aren't doing the C25K?

Trying to stay on track
