Chicken Legs? Really
Okay, I just did a search and I found that chicken legs have up to 212 calories per leg? Really? I've seen calories from 212 to 89 calories...both with bone and skin removed. Does anyone actually have a good number for this? I guess from now on I should weigh just the meat prior to consuming? I hate chicken, if this is…

Polar RS300X HRM. Any one get that thing that downloads info
Okay, first let me say, I'm a technological idiot. My son (seven years old) and babysitter know how to run the DVR, but I don't. My trainer put my info/stats into this Polar HRM for me.

Things that stall weight loss....
Please add if you are so moved. The most common: 1. Measurement of food and calories/carbs are in correct . Remedy: buy a kitchen scale 2. Not correctly estimating calories burned during workouts. Remedy: get a hrm that gives you accuracy. 3. Pounds, stones, kilos aren't moving, but you feel better. Remedy: start taking…

Pest at the gym. I am looking for suggestions and support, P
Ok here goes. I'll try to be economic with this post. I've been doing HIIT on the tread mill. One or two minute intense intervals; high speed-high incline and then lowered to moderate incline-moderate speed. For about two weeks. It seems to be working miraculously on me. This is after doing two years of 10-12% incline at…

I've found a miracle that will kill one's appetite in a NY
Gedney Zinger Spears. Very hot dill pickles. With that being said, I bet any type of thing that is too hot to eat, and that one's able to get down will kill an appetite as well. Just thought I'd share.. I picked them up at the grocer today and I'll glad I did. That type of heat will cure one for eating, for sure. *not an…

Anyone try 10 Minute Trainer and have results?
Sorry I keep asking questions. Shopping for targeted short intense in-home workouts to supplement my health club work outs. I work at home and I'm on my butt a lot and I want to get up occassionally and move. I've purchased DVDs that I'm not too pleased with so I'm trying to avoid doing that again. Thanks in advance.

Not an advert, but I wanted to share about new shoes
I loved my Addius Running shoes and they lasted about six years. They made my feet hot. I just bought a pair of K-Swiss with air circulation holes in the toes. They really keep your feet from getting hot, they are super lightweight BUT they do run to true to size. So if you're looking for shoes that has that, other than…

Insanity verses P90X? Which one?
My baby brother (age 43) swears by P90X. He's a self proclaimed fitness and nutritional expert. He's the one the helped me go from 219 to 145 by introducing me to a new nutritional lifestyle in 1998. My baby brother has less than 6% body fat. I'm an avid health club member. I work out hard with the weights doing circuit…

"DIET" is the most hideous of the four letter words. What is
What's the worse diets you've been on and why? I think this is a fun topic. It proves that some fad diets work and some work temporarily and some stall weight loss later down the road. I'd love to hear people's input. Mine: Diet Center: One is required to eat 6 grapefruit day :noway: , boiled chicken and a piece of Wasa…

Can flabby arms be fixed with strength training?
I was very over weight in 1997. I believe maybe close to 220 or more. I'm short, 5'4" In 1998, I lost nearly 90 pounds. I was in my early thirties. I have flabby arms from this. The skin did not retract itself when I lost the weight. Now since then, on occasion, I've gained 20 pounds (give or take) once in a while over the…

Breakfast. Is it really necessary?

For those who helped me with HIIT, thank you!
With limited time and need to switch my workout, I've done my second day of HIIT on the bike. Tomorrow, I go to the tread mill and jog uphill. Fat short legs probably won't let me do a run. For those who gave me in put, I want to thank you. With me, presently 20 some pounds overweight, I haven't been able to run on the…

Caffeine! Weight loss resistance. Any experiences?
Allow me to preface this and please, no boos from the peanut gallery....I'm on a strict low carb diet. I'm old, 45. I've been through the diet mill and I know what my body responds to and what it does not. Low calorie, low fat never worked for me and I could not maintain it anyway if I did loose a couple of pounds.…

Share with me your experiences with HIIT, interval training.
After struggling now for around a month trying to figure out what got me fit in the first place, I'm going to add 35 minutes (total) of 2:1 ratio interval training. I'll still do my weights, but I won't spend 45 minutes in the weight room everyday.I'll reduce it to 30 minutes. Anywho, I've been doing a lot of reading about…

I did HIIT or high interval intensity training today. A ques
I must say that I did enjoy it. BUT.....Please answer this I didn't make my 2:1 ratio. I made a ratio of more 1:3 ratio. Yeah, right...I can do 2 minutes of anything...uh...okay, I can do one minute of anything but I need a recovery period of three minutes to do it again. :grumble: I also didn't keep the timing even, I got…

Weights...cardio...now what? Any ideas?
In 2009 I lost a ton of weight and got very fit and kept fit until this Sept by simply ramping up my weights and doing less cardio. I never ever feel sore muscles when I try to add weights. So I keep adding them and I'm not bulking out or anything of that nature. Weight lifting, I'm fine, I think. I must have gained 20…
