HR Over 200 while Running?
I have been dieting and exercising for over a year and am near my goal weight. I've gone from 167 to 145 lbs. My exercising has consisted of programs like Slim in 6 and Bosu. In October I started the Couch to 5K program. I have enjoyed running but as my distances have increased, so has my heart rate. My resting rate is…

What's Eating You?
Anyone watching this series on E? It's a great look inside the mind of those with eating disorders (of all kinds). I worked at a children's hospital for years and we treated some serious cases, but nothing compared to these! It's amazing the power food can have over all of us.

Call Schedule = More Calories?
I work a 24 hour call schedule and can be up/awake/working for 24-36 hours. On the days that I don't sleep, do I get more calories? I would love to hear thoughts on this!

The Firm Wave
Does anyone have this workout system? It looks fun! I've been doing Slim in 6 but I'm kind of bored with it. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Protein Pancakes?
Does anyone have a recipe for pancakes made out of oatmeal, eggs and cottage cheese? My local radio station talked about them the other day and I missed the recipe. Thanks in advance!

New Scale
I got a new scale last week and it's three pounds heavier than my old one (but probably more accurate I fear). What should I do? I don't want to show a "gain" after all my hard work!

Hungry Hungry Hippo!
I have been doing really well on my diet and exercise. I'm down 5 pounds so far. I haven't struggled too much with my hunger until yesterday. What's the deal? All day yesterday and today I have been starving! I hope it's because my metabolism is going crazy :happy: The bad news is I'm running out of calories before my last…

Best Cereal
I am a cereal lover but oh the carbs/sugar! Any suggestions on a filling cereal that doesn't put me over my sugar goal (24 g) by breakfast? Other than Cheerios, I've had a hard time finding one that fits the bill.

Cool iPhone App
I found a cool app to use in conjunction with the FitPal app! It's called BMR +, and it's only $0.99. It lets you customize your goals according to your activity level, body fat percentage, etc. I just got it but it's been helpful so far! Check it out. Also...glad to be back after a 5 month hiatus. I gained 10 lbs in that…

Vacation Set Back
I'm so disappointed in myself! I had been doing really well on my life style changes, or so I had thought. One month of hard core dieting and exercising was all but undone on a one week vacation! I'm having a hard time getting back into a routine. If nothing else, I learned a valuable lesson on the importance of keeping it…
