Re-introduction
After being gone and really falling off the wagon, I'm back! I am looking for support and maybe some accountability -- I know people really are helpfull around here. I have been struggling with balancing shift work, long distance relationships and trying to actually have a little fun with friends as well, and its been hard…

Treadmill
So I have fallen a few times running outside, and I don't have a gym membership, and I was thinking of getting a treadmill (mom's suggestion as she said she would pay half). Now what would someone suggest I look at? I run 6-8mph typically, and my mom is larger and walks. SO I kinda need something for everything. I also…

Exercise Videos
Ok, So I have been doing 30 day shred for 7 days now, and I cannot for the life of me keep doing the SAME routine over and over again (I know it switches, but still, its then the same routine again for 10 days... I won't get through it --- its boring me). I have figured out my issue with exercise, I need variety! I was…

Needing some support --- attempting a schedule!
Ok, So I am the absolute worst at making a schedule and sticking with it. So for the about 19th time this year, I'm creating a work out schedule. I've been decent at eating my appropriate amount of calories. But I've been terrible at sticking with exercise (beyond hockey or team sports). So I am asking for support --- I've…

Exercise and Work question
Just wondering if on crazy busy days at work (I am a nurse), should I be adding in exercise in lieu of it. Like normally I walk around for 6-7 hours, stand for 2-3 hours and sit for 2 or so. But yesturday and today, I didn't even think of sitting until 5pm (so ten hours later). And most of those ten hours were spent…

HRM Question
Ok, So just a little random question. Does a HRM calculate calories burnt based on the increase from your starting heart rate or not? I have a very low heart rate (typically around 40) so when using a treadmill I'm constantly not considered at a calorie burning typical heart rate. Just wondering about getting one, but…

Shift work
Ok, So I am a shift worker (RN), any other shift workers out there... and how do you eat over night shifts and work out! I work 12 hour days + have a 2 hour commute.... Days I am off, I have no issue doing things. But days I work, its hard!

Looking for some "work out/weight loss" buddies
So, I have figured out that I really need some form of motivation. And was wondering if there were any people out here who needed a weight loss online buddy! I am looking to lose 20-30 lbs. I'd rather exercise a little extra, and enjoy my food (I don't eat all that unhealthy, but I enjoy wings/beer and a good hockey game…

Newbie!
Hey, Just figured I'd get started here. I won't lie, I am not the best at counting calories (so that may be slightly half-assed). But I am really just looking for something to at least make me better than I usually am! As far as my weight, I would love to lose 20-30 lbs, I'd be happy with 15. I have sort of hit a little…
