Corset Training...
Your thoughts on the matter? DISCLAIMER: Yes I'm thinking about being more strict with it, No I won't go cry if you disagree with me or say I'm killing myself. No I'm not trying to go down to a 19 inch waist, I'm shooting for more of a 23-25 range. For my size that's fine.

FitOrbit-Online Personal Training
Anyone here using FitOrbit? I ran across it on Earndit.com and thinking about using my earned points for a $25 coupon. From what I understand, it sets you up with a trainer that goes over your goals as gives you a meal and workout plan. Plus it's a fraction of the monthly cost or a real trainer and you don't have to deal…

Photos Since November
Okay this isn't a SUCCESS STORY, but I'm pretty proud of myself. I'm starting to love my body as the days go by. Nothing much to say, I haven't been eating like people tell me I need to and I haven't been working out like I should. But I HAVE been going to the gym and walking whenever possible. Just getting up and moving…

Food Removeal
I know this topic will be reported, locked, and deleted and I will get a nice mail from a mod. But those of you who knew about the "male semen" in the food database, have you noticed it was deleted? Seems someone got offended by it and it was deleted. Or the owners caught up with it. Anyway, I'm done trolling for a few…

Workout Plan for Glutes (and surrounding muscles)
I plan to include glute exercises to my "leg days" which is twice a week. I'm looking for a workout plan (not just saying "do a bunch of squats"). I know, no one wants to write up a simple 3-5 set exercise plan but it doesn't hurt to ask. So, I'm asking.

ActivTrax
We all know the arguements...High Weight, Low Reps vs Low Weight, High Reps. We all have our own opinions and no one cares about what you have to say if it conflicts with their beliefs. My reason for posting this is I'm a member of 10Fitness which may or may not be in other states. They use a site called ActivTrax that…

Will I have to Be Here for the Rest of My Life?
Am I stuck counting calories and trying to hit marcos for the rest of my life? Will I forever have to run away from soda, sugar, bad carbs, and anything that brings me joy? Am I stuck eating a sugar free cottage cheese cake on my wedding day and expecting my guest to love it as well? This haunts me. I have dreams of…

I "Might" Need A Personal Trainer
I've been trying to avoid this as much as possible, but as time goes on and my patience thins, I think I might need to find a trainer. Problem is, I can't afford one. Three sessions a week at $40+/session...yeah ain't happening. I can't even afford food on most days let alone a guy to force me to do things I really don't…

Too Short for Weight Machines
I'm 5'1" but my boyfriend thinks I'm closer to 4'11" (who cares, he's not a human ruler) anyway I tried doing the leg curl thing where you lay on your belly and curl your legs to your butt. Well sadly my legs don't reach like they should and I end up having to flip the thing using my heels. Is there an alternative to this…

How to Kill Your Out-of-Shape Boyfriend
Step 1: Talk him into going for a walk after sunset (because you need to get at least SOME exercise in) Step 2: As you walk, let him lead so he can pick the trails less taken (ex: crossing over a bridge with no side walk so you have to run to beat the car coming towards you) Step 3: After beating said car and making it…

Anyone from Minneapolis?
Or currently living in? Me and my boyfriend (or my boyfriend and I for the grammar Nazis) are going to Minneapolis for 2-3 days starting Monday. We need a room. No, I'm not asking to stay with you :laugh: but if you know a great place to stay, preferably downtown with a great view, then I'd appreciate you filling me in.…

Measuring Body Fat
Best way to measure an accurate amount of body fat %? Right now I'm using my WiThings Body Scale (paid some good money for it on eBay). It measures weight and body fat and even displays your BMI and all that good stuff. You can read up on it if you want, I'm not trying to sale anything Anyway, it gave a completely…

Who Should Move?
Dun dun dun!!!! The time I ask for relationship advice on MFP is the time I have absolutely nothing better to do with my time as I count down 120 minutes until I can eat this freaking candy bar! So here's the question with a little background: Me and my boyfriend have been dating since August and he's all in love with me…

Critiques On Some Basics
Just got back from meeting with the training director at my gym. Somehow I got talked into signing up for a training program and blah blah blah next thing I know I'm out of $400 and they are teaming me up with a trainer once a week every month for a year or until I decide I don't want to pay the $120 monthly fee (on top of…

Question about Activity Level
I'm trying to edit my goals but I have no idea what all I should change. I try to workout (walking a long distance, workout tapes, etc) everyday with 1-2 rest days of light-moderate activity and I burn about 3000 calories weekly or more. Each workout day is about 1-2 hours worth of workouts and the rest of the day I'm…

Energy Booster
I have 0 energy on most days. Been like this a good while. All I want to do is lay around and sleep. I do force myself to get up and workout but I always feel like I'm better off just sleeping for the next 5 years. Anyone know of a good energy booster? One that actually works. I know 99% of you are against anything that…

A little help please
Anyone want to look at my dairy and tell me why I'm GAINING inches in my waist? I'm not on my period, I don't feel bloated, and I'm pretty sure if it's muscle under the fat I'd be gaining weight as well. Then again maybe I am gaining weight. I haven't weighed myself in 4 days. I've gained about a full inch to a 1.5 inches…

I want to VENT
Yeah I want to vent. Not sure where I can do it. Lately I realized people don't give a crap about how others feel. I could do this on my art site but of course most of them could care less...the rest can't speak English. I could vent on the browser game I play. But the person I'm venting about plays the same game and…

Quick Question...Kettlebells vs Weights
I'm headed to Wal-Mart within the next 30 minutes to pick up either some 3lb hand weights or a Kettlebell with DVD instructions. I know most people will grit their teeth about shopping for fitness supplies in Wal-Mart but I'm on a budget (and it's a good way to reach my step goal for the night). Which do you prefer? I…

So I Looked In the Mirror Today
At my house the mirror in the bathroom is about neck-up to me (i'm a shorty). The other mirrors are in my sisters' room and the Den. I can't just go in there and stare at myself. Today I went to a friend's house and as I was changing clothes in her bathroom (she has one of those mirrors that cover the entire wall where the…

Limited Space to Workout
In my room I have about a 4ft x 1ft space to workout. I do Turbo Jam (when I feel like dealing with Chalene's annoying voice) and it's just enough room to mimic the routines for the 20 Minute workout. I want to be able to do more than pretend I'm kicking through a door. Apparently cardio isn't enough to lose weight so I…

Why I Hate Turbo Jam
YES I"M SO FULL OF NEGATIVITY! Not really just found this article about Turbo Jam and thought it was funny http://www.thesharkguys.com/reviews/turbo-jam-working-out-for-ya/ Personally, I have Turbo Jam and this will be my 10th of actually doing the workouts. So far I've gained 3 lbs and my stomach looks even bigger than…

Yet Another HRM Thread
Just wanted some thoughts on the New Balance Duo Sport HRM. I accidentally won it on eBay so now I'm stuck with it of course lol. But I wanted to know if it's worth keeping or if I should just try to resale it. I read some reviews on Amazon and someone said it stops recording heart rate in the middle of a workout. This…

About to Call it Quits
Not trying to hi-jack someone's thread so I made my own. There are a lot of things factoring to this decision. Some of it comes from this community and other communities like LoseIt!. FitBit forums talk more about the product itself than actually dieting and weight loss. Also I can't eat what I want when I want and how…

Eating 3-6 Times a Day
Do I HAVE to eat if I'm not hungry? And by hungry I mean stomach getting ready to growl. On most days I'm not hungry around lunch time, or hungry enough to eat tiny meals (which bother me really, if I'm going to EAT then I'm going to actually EAT). Right now I'm getting about 1000-1300 calories a day, on some days it's…

But, but I don't wanna work out today!!
Not sure if I'm posting this in the right forum, but it does have to do with fitness and exercise. I'm on the Turbo Jam fitness plan and on today's calendar I have to do the 20 minute workout and I planned to do the Cardio Party one as well. But I'm feeling drained today. Like all I want to do is sleep and not move. I…
