Parents of toddlers.....
What do you set your activity level as? I set mine at lightly active because chasing around a 3 year old while tending to a 8 month old is definitely not sedentary, am I right?

Running with a water bottle???
So, I'm thinking of starting to run. I can do 60 mins on my Elliptical, no problem. It says I run 12 miles...but I think that a huge overestimate. My concern is that I need to have water with me. I can drink a 32oz bottle in those 60 mins. Would I look ridiculous running with a water bottle? How do you runners do it? I was…

Is 60+ mins of exercise too much?
I recently watched an episode of Steven & Chris and their fitness expert said that you should do 30-60 mins of exercise per day. Great, that's do-able! She also said not to go over 60 mins per day, and that it's not good for your body. I know you need to listen to your body, and if it needs a break, take a break. But if…

Entering calories burned...??
This may be a silly question but... I just bought a hrm and I had a thought when I was recording what I burned.

If my hrm says that I burned 400 calories in a one hour…

Then yesterday I went to wear it again, and it was ginormous on me! I couldn't wear it, it looked ridiculous! I'm sad that I won't get to wear it again, but it made me feel…

Are rest days important if you are just doing cardio?
I started to change my lifestyle just shy of 3 weeks ago (a newb, I know), and I have been going on my elliptical every day since (other than one day that we got close to a foot of snow so I shovelled for my workout). I have the resistance fluctuating between level 4-8, but I maintain my speed through the course. I am now…

Living with the "Steak and Potatoes" kinda guy
Hey all. My boyfriend is a very picky eater, his favourite meal is steak or some other form of beef and potatoes. He turns his nose up to any vegetable other than baby carrots, and of course potatoes. I'm tired of making two separate meals. We have a young daughter (14 months) and I don't want her to stray away from…

Young Mom's looking to loose the baby weight
Hi all. I'm new to MFP and also a new young mom (I'm 23 and my daughter is 14 months). I still have all the baby weight, 35 lbs to go to feel good and 45 to feel great, and I've finally had enough of it! I'm looking for other young moms for support with the extra challenge of baby weight.
