I'm a Yo-Yo- Need some help with accountability!!!
About a year ago I was 166. Last July/August I got down to 143. Once school started I gained weight. By late October, when I started on MFP, I was up to 155. I managed to get down to 149 where I plateaued for about 2.5-3 months. I gave up trying and ballooned up to 160 last week. I'm sick of this! I have got to get this…

HRM question
I just recently purchased a Polar FT7 heart rate monitor. I've had a blast playing around with it and being vigilant of what my heart rate and calories burned are constantly.

Super Dizzy Post-Workout
I'm not even sure "Post" is accurate. The past few times I have attempted to do some step aerobics, I end up ridiculously dizzy, nauseated, and crazy light headed. I don't go all out crazy to start with. And I used to be able to do steps for 30-45 minutes. Now after ten I honestly can't see straight. I'm not sure there is…

I'm a 22 year old single mom, full time student, occasional paid employee. I have my days when I can be super motivated and do a rockin job of burning some calories. Other days, munchies kick in and I can't keep my hands off of butterfingers and jalepeno chips. I really wanna do this. I have 10 pounds that I MUST LOSE-…

Getting sick keeps holding me back!
A few months back I was doing an amazing job at working out. I'd lost 20 lbs... and then got strep throat (which took THREE rounds of antibiotics to get rid of). I wasn't able to keep up my workout regimen, and got way off track. Gained back 10 of those pounds, and it took me a while to start back up again. I've been going…

Make my ABS hurt!
I'm looking for something that will seriously make my abs hurt. I can do a variety of crunches for what seems like eternity, but I can't get sore from it. Any advice for workouts that will help?
