Exercise = more energy?
Someone needs to tell my body that! I started working out at a gym on Tuesday. So I have worked out 2 days. A little over an hour the first day and 40 minutes today.

Strength training Weights vs body weight
Is one better than the other? I am doing the Couch 2 5K program and everything I read says I need to do strength training. Am I okay doing squats, lunges, and core exercises or do I really need to lift weights? Also what if I only have a few hand weights to lift. What should I be doing with those weights?

Knee problems and no insurance? Exercise?
I am having knee problems. Popping, grinding, and tightening. Even walking around a store is causing it to tighten up. I need to lose 40+lbs. What exercises can I do that will be easy on my knees? I can't swim so that is out. I believe as I drop the weight my knees will improve but how much damage am I doing to get to that…

Will this be enough?
I currently work 4 days a week. 10 hour shifts but I am gone 12 hours total. I walk 15+ miles a night. I have used a pedometer to find out exactly. Actually went over 20 miles one night. Anyways, I have no time or energy to work out on those days so that leaves me with 3 days a week to work out. I recently lost 20lbs…

Tacking Wii Fit plus calories?
I am not sure how accurate the Wii Fit Plus calorie count is but I have been reading on here and it seems pretty accurate. My question is how do you put it in your exercise tracker? I do a bunch of different exercises.

Sides with dinner?
I need some ideas for side items. We eat a lot of broccoli and green beans. But we also eat potatoes, which we don't eat with out butter, and we also eat corn. What are some less starchy side items? We dont' like cauliflower or asparagus.

Dinner?
What do you usually fix for dinner? I want to fix for everyone in my family and have smaller portions but I run out of stuff to fix. Not to mention I'm from the south where almost everything is fried.
-
Popcorn?
If I ate 3 cups of a bag of popcorn that was 12.5 cups total. That would be a quarter of the bag right? It says 94 calories, seems low.. plus i don't think a bag of popcorn is 12 cups.. I'm confused.

When you first started exercising?
Did you hate it? Did it gradually become easier and even enjoy it? Or is it just something you make yourself do? I want to lose weight but I am also hoping exercising will make me feel better. I have no energy and just tired all the time. I wake up feeling horrible. Any suggestions?

Then we can back down hill walking the same steps and the 1/4 mile again. I figured up walking for an hour total upstairs. And then 20 minutes leisurely downhill. It was…

For my mom...
My mom needs to loose 15-30lbs. She's a tiny person, and a tiny build. But from the waist down well, she's got some hips and thighs. She has arch problems and can't walk that much. She has a treadmill and it gave her more problems on her feet so she didn't keep with it. Other then a bike what can she do? What kind of bike…

So I'm a really picky eater..
but I love soup.. Chicken soup,, nah, tomato soup, nah.. I like vegetable soup. I can't find a soup that I like. I like to have soup for lunch, it's quick and healthy.. I don't like celery in my soup. For the life of me most soup has celary. I don't care for noodles in my soup, but can deal with em. Also I like to eat…

Self Esteem help...
One thing that keeps me moving forward in this plan is the fact I have more self esteem now. I've only lost a couple pounds. My jeans are still tight as ever, and no one can tell I've lost weight.. BUT, I walk with my chin a little higher, I have more purpose in my step, I smile more, I feel in my head and heart that my…

So I had a crappy
day yesterday. I did not feel like exercising or doing much else. So I didn't. Instead I over ate. Still gotta figure out by how much though. Anyways, if you have a bad day eating or working out do you try to make up for it the next day by working out more?

I smell success!!
Okay. When I started my journey about 2 weeks ago I was at 207lbs. When I started here I was 204.4lbs. This morning I weighed (not official til Monday though) and I am 203.3 lbs.. So I have an almost 4lb loss! It feels great and is great motivation to keep going. When I see 199lbs I'll know I'm doing something right!

What is your workout schedule?
Right now I'm doing cardio 6 days a week (that's the plan anyways). I need to get some weights in there, but should I take days off of cardio to do weights or throw it in there too? Also, without hand weights, just using my body what and how many reps should I do? Strength training has always been my downfall.

question??
I am wanting Hormel Chili with crackers for lunch. I love this chili but I don 't eat the meat, just beans and soup. How can I record that? Cause I know it would be considerably less with out the beef. I've tried the vegetarian chili but it's just not as good.. I guess cause I am getting the flavor of the beef in there..…

Eating habits..
So I know I'm going to have to change my eating habits if I want to continue on this weight loss journey. I can eat within my calories but it's still not the healthiest foods. I can usually do a easy breakfast of fiber one cereal with non fat milk. Gotta have that fiber. My problems are lunch and dinner. I always go to the…
