Help troubleshooting treadmill issue
Hello - I just bought a used proform cross walk advanced 525x. It worked great until last night. I was jogging on it and the belt all of a sudden stopped and started squealing. So the belt works fine until you step on it, then it stops. Anyone ever have this happen? Any ideas on where to start to fix it would be greatly…

Am i wrong??
A couple days a week I take care of an 18 month old little boy, I have a 21 month old of my own. I charge his mom $2/hr and only for the hrs she is working. So when she drops him off at 2:30 and picks him up after 11, I only charge her from 3-11. I have another part time job and if she works on that day I pick him up from…

Calorie Determination for Homemade Recipe
Does anyone know of a website that will help determine the calorie amount in a home made recipe? I know that I could add up the calories for each ingredient and divide by number of servings, but depending on the recipe that can get difficult. Anyone have any suggestions? It would be much appreciated!

1200 or 1500... that is the question
I originally started out using MFP's calculated goals. After talking to our nutritionist at work, he suggested that I was eating to few calories at 1200, and should bump up to 1500. So I manually reset my data on MFP, and the first day that I input my food, the thing at the bottom "if everyday were like today" was, to say…

Fiber Flush
I caught a mini documentary last night on PBS about fiber. It was a healthy eating kinda show that talked about the importance of eating fiber in terms of health, but it really highlighted it in terms of weight loss. A lot of the information was news to me, so I wanted to share. Supposedly..... I say this because you never…

One of those nights......
Ok so I had a few girlfriends over last night to play bunko. I knew I was going to have a busy day and that my guests wouldn't leave til around 9 p.m. I hate to workout that late because by the time I take a shower and get to bed, it's way to late. So, I had planned my calories for the day knowing that I wouldn't be doing…

Should we do something?
I was contemplating something last night that I thought I would share. I've struggled with my weight my whole life. When I got married in 07, I was the smallest I had ever been. Slowly, the weight creeped back on and less than 2 years later, I've put on about 40lbs. Heres my issue: As I put on weight, I'm sure people…

I did it......again......
So here I am, I did it to myself again. What a vicious cycle..... It starts out with me getting mad at myself for putting on weight. Then, I get super motivated and start working out, eating right, counting calories, all that jazz! It usually lasts anywhere from 2-4 weeks, and then something happens. What you ask?…

My first 24 hrs
Ok so I just joined yesterday and all I can say is WOW! Though I've never met any of you, I feel accountable to you. Last night after I shoveled my deck and my sidewalks I was so tempted to call that my excercise for the day. Believe me it was excercise, but in the back of my mind I knew it was my old way of thinking,…

I'm down here on the bottom with you
Hello all, I just joined today. So I hit my bottom a few weeks ago when I realized that I didn't really look at myself in the mirror. Don't get me wrong I put on my make up in the morning and do my hair and do a little one over of my outfit, but I've been doing it all without really LOOKING at myself. I got married last…
