Mistakes you guys made?
I have been here a year at the end of the month. I have been working hard on my goal of 155 so I would be "normal" in my BMI. I guesed my height when I joined.. because there is no where to take it here.. and it was a good guess... or so I thought, now a year later I find out I was way wrong. I am 5'4 NOT 5'6 which makes a…

Would you wear a sundress if you had big legs?
Ok so I haven't worn a dress since I was in elementary school (besides my prom and wedding dress, but those are huge and poofy.. I mean a normal dress) and I have always been jealous of those that could. The reason I never wore a dress was because my tummy is two different sizes.. I have my upper tummy, a slim waist and a…

EA Sports Active 2 logging help?
I just bought and started EA Sports Active 2 for the PS3 (don't have a WII) and I did 2 workouts today (I repeated it). It said I burnt 123 cal for 22 min (Med) where my HRM said 231 for 38 min (had to watch tutorial first time) and the second said 121 in game for 24 min and HRM said 211 for 27 min. I know about the delays…

Sodium Free Food?
I have a problem keeping my sodium under 2500g as suggested.. I eat as healthy as possible but being on a very tight and fixed budget I can't buy all fresh food all the time. Today I will be at 1010 (I planned ahead) of 1200 (it's my day off exercising) and I'm maxed on Sodium already! All the other numbers are good, close…

How do you eat unhealthy after you are healthy? (I know con
I know this may be a weird topic, but I need to know if there is anything I can do in this situation that I haven’t already done. I go to my parents once a week for dinner on Sunday and even though they know I am on a diet they don’t always cook the most healthy food. They cook what they think is healthy and nothing I say…

Weighing on the Scales
I read another post about someone saying they got on the scales a bunch of times when weighing and I was curious who else does this? I usually get on the scales 3 times, take a few minutes, do it 3 more, ect till I reach 10 times and then I take the average of all 10 times. This may sound silly, but the number is always…

MP3 Players
I have started biking and walking longer outdoors and I find it tiring at times when I don't have a MP3 player to keep me company. My husband has an Ipod Touch Gen 3 which I LOVE, but he takes it to work with him every day and that's usually the time I exercise. I can't afford to buy a new Ipod Touch or even a Shuffle for…

Hey guys!
This is my first post here, I wanted to brag somewhere about what I managed to do today! I started out weight 290 lbs and my goal is to loose at least 100 lbs overall, but I made small mini goals for myself, to weight the same as my husband, to be under 250 lbs, to get under 220 lbs (which is what my progress bar notes)…

I never learned how to ride a bike as a kid and I am having the time of my life learning now. I do have a 3 wheeled bike (the…

Huge blisters, how can you prevent them?
I have been using the treadmill for 3-4 months now and occasionally when I speed up I get small blisters (or whatever you call them) on my hands from holding on to tight, they aren't a big deal they hurt but they fade pretty fast. Occasionally I'll get a small blister on my foot to, mostly on the bottom... but this past…
