Curious question: Sign Language Interpreting calories?
Hey Gang! I'm kinda new here. Here's my question. I'm a teacher of the Deaf. From time to time I have to cover the interpreters, and stand on my feet for 45 minutes of signing. You think, really, that shouldn't be counted as "exercise." I'm kinda dripping in sweat now from moving fairly vigorously from signing for 45…

Polar Heart Rate Monitor issues
I have a Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor, and ever since I changed the battery in the chest strap, I've had nothing but problems! It will sense the HRM when I initially put it on, but 10-20 minutes into the workout it says it can't detect it. I've tightened the band, I've moved it around so it stays secure, but for the life…

Protein Shake curiosity...
So, I just got back on the fitness bandwagon and for the first time ever have started working out with a trainer. She recommended that I drink protein shakes to help with my overall protein intake. I'd ask her for her specific plan for me to drink the shakes, but I forgot during the session, and now she's on vacation for…

Wonton Wrap thread
A while a go, there was a huge long thread of recipes that used wonton/egg roll wraps. Did anyone book mark it? I can't seem to find it. :-(

hot yoga vs. gym with injury
So, I practice yoga about 3 times a week by either bikram yoga, or by a hot yoga of so form. I absolutely love the feeling I have after yoga, and enjoy my practice. I need to become stronger, specifically in my gluteus medius, thanks to injury and a now achey back. Also, I've been having issues with a "floating" (it keeps…

Quinoa Mac and Cheese
Ok, not to toot my own horn, but I made some OMG quinoa mac and cheese the other night, and had to share. SUPER good for you, and SUPER low in calories. Here's what I did: Cooked two cups of dry quinoa with 3 cups of chicken broth. (If you're vegetarian, or don't have any, skip the broth, and just add water. Be sure to…

Vitamin curiosity
So, I'm in no way asking for advice as to what vitamins I should/should not be taking, but I'm curious. Does anyone have a link to empirical research stating that vitamins aid in the boost of weight loss? I'm just curious. My doctor prescribed me some (yes, I'm deficient in many different areas) different vitamins because…

Need some encouragement and support
Hi Friends, About a month ago, I was in a car accident that left me with a concussion. I was making significant gains in my weight loss with proper diet and exercise up until the accident. Due to my injury, I haven't been able to work out like I was. I was a Bikram Yoga and Zumba addict. Loved to take long walks with my…

Hi Everyone!
:smile: I'm new to this, and really don't have a clue where to start! I do know this: I have to lose at least 45 pounds. Doctor's orders. I've really let my weight spiral out of control, and don't even know how I've arrived at this place. Both of my parents have high blood pressure, my father has had quintuple bipass…
