Should I buy a HRM?
I just had a birthday so I've got a little spare change and was thinking of buying one. Do people think they are worth it? Right now I've just been having to go with whatever the machines at the gym say, which I know is inaccurate. Also, what kind of info do they tell you? And does anybody have any recommendations? Thanks!

Awesome birthday NSV

Biggest NSV For Me Yet!!
So a little back story: I've always been the most unathletic person I know. In middle school, during a game of dodgeball, I tried to get people on the other team to get me out, was ignored, got left as the last person on my team and asked the teacher if I could forfeit. I've always dreaded the mile run in school, and would…

(Tiny) C25K NSV
Hey everyone! This is definitely minor to a lot of people, but I just completed the first day of the C25K program!!! As someone that has always wanted to be a runner, but has always been the least athletic person, this is HUGE for me. Even better, the Jingle Bell Run 5k in my town is scheduled for the day after I finish…

Looking for friends!
Hey! My name's Megan and this is not the first time I've been on this site.....It is the first time I'm really serious about it though! :) And this time I'm going to be smart and get a support system on here, which I've never really had before. I'm an 18 year old college student that's trying to lose between 70-100 pounds.…
