Universal Gym...any suggestions please??
I've been doing mainly cardio for months now and of course I love it but I want to back down a bit on cardio and incorporate more strength training. I work out at home so I think a home/universal gym would be best for me. But I need suggestions!! I want something with many stations/ exercise options. Cost isn't much of a…

HELP! My new scale is 4 pounds heavier!!
I have a dilemma and I need your advise! I just got a new fitbit aria scale yesterday and to my dismay is says I am 4 pounds heavier than my previous scale!(which means I was 4 pounds heavier to begin with! yuck!) So, the 31 pound loss is still accurate but that also means i have to lose 4 more pounds for MFP to notice! Is…

My sunblock leaves smears on EVERYTHING!
I have a very fair complextion and try to wear sunblock anytime I'm going to be outside for more than 15-20 minutes. Here's my issue, the sunblock I'm using (Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 85+) leaves a white residue on everything I touch!!

What's Next after Turbo Fire???
I'm in the middle of the Turbo Fire program right now and already contemplating what I will do when that is over. My first thoughts are ChaLEAN Extreme, Insanity, or P90X. FYI, I've also begun running about 1-2 times a week. I still have some serious pounds to lose and serious muscle to gain! What do y'all recommend?

Struggled to Run!
I went for a run down a country road near my house this morning, the first half mile or so was killer! I wanted to through in the towel and turn back. The idea was to run 3.1 miles to see how my time is stacking up for this Saturday's 5K race. Throughout the entire run I just knew I was doggin it and couldn't get myself…

Am I getting enough strength training???
I LOVE TF but I know that building muscle is really important in overall fitness and gaining a higher metabolic rate. Is TF packing a big enough punch in terms of strength training to reap the greatest rewards? I'm considering ordering ChaLean Extreme but is that all strength and no cardio? I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed!…

Could this be asthma??
Over the last few weeks I've noticed that at the start of my cardio workouts (in particular Turbo Fire DVDs) I have trouble catching my breath. It's almost like I'm weazing. Then when my heart rate gets elevated and my body is warm, it's no longer a problem. I've never had any respiratory issues before and I have no known…

Tight Hips
Fair warning: this topic may not be suitable for all readers. I have a question regarding tight hips. My fitness level is increasing by leaps and bounds as I continue to lose weight through exercise and eating healthy. However, one area I'm struggling with is the flexibility of my hips. I don't notice it so much during…

Keep the Good Times Rolling!
I've actually been using myfitnesspal for my Kindle for about 2 months...I love it! I got some of my coworkers into it too. So far, I'm down 14 pounds with a grand total of 56 more to lose to hit my goal weight (I try not to think of that one so much...it seems so far away). I'm at a point now where I am still feeling…

5Day Inferno?
What kind of results have you all seen from following the 5 Day Inferno plan? I am on day two now. I had to make several substitutions yesterday because of my quick decision to do it but ended the day about 150 cals over the plan but still with a massive deficit. Today is starting out strong. I'm not as hungry as I thought…

Starting 1st Round In May
I've been on my journey since 1/23/12. I'm down 19 pounds as of 4/21/12 but still have 51 pounds to go to reach my goal. I loved Chalene in Turbo Jam (I still do those DVDs) so a few months ago I set goals for myself. Once I acheived the goals, I would allow myself to buy the prize I selected. Well, 1 more pound gets me to…
