Next Workout Suggestions?
I am currently working through the last week of Shaun T's T25 Gamma workout and I'm looking for suggestions of what I should do next. I have Beachbody on Demand and pretty much all of Jillian Michaels DVDs. Due to time restrains, the workouts can't be more than thirty minutes. I was leaning towards either 21 Day Fix of…

Good Heart Rate Mointor?
I have been using a Polar FT7 Heart Rate Monitor for years and I think it is finally dying on me because I can't get the watch to get my HR no matter how wet the strap is. Yes, I replaced the batteries in it last week as well, so it's not that. I'm thinking of just getting another one (another Polar FT7, that is), but…

2 years: 10 pounds and lots of inches gone!
I have been losing weight and watching what I eat since 2009, but it wasn't until 2014 that I got really serious about it. It all began when I decided to buy Insanity off of Amazon when it was on sale... to this day, I have no idea what even brought that workout to my attention, but I am super happy that I found it since…

Rebounder/Trampoline in upstairs apartment?
I was interested in getting a rebounder/trampoline, but I have a few concerns: 1. I live in an upstairs apartment and wanted to know if there was any problem with noise. I know it involves jumping, but I am not sure of the overall noise problem because I would not be jumping directly on the floor. 2. How much space does it…

Insanity Month Two
I am currently in the recovery week of Insanity and wanted to know what to expect during month two. Specifically, I wanted to know how much more jumping is involved since I live in a third floor apartment. I am a teacher so I have the summer off, so I have been able to do the workouts in the morning when my downstairs…

Exercise mat
I live in an apartment (third floor) and wanted to get a mat or something to use in order to deafen the noise when I do cardio during my workouts so I won't disturb my downstairs neighbor as much. I would appreciate any suggestions that are reasonably priced!

Good workout DVDs?
I am getting really bored with my current collection of workout DVDs. I have almost all of Jillian Micheal's DVDs (except for 6 week 6 pack and banish fat, boost metabolism which. I'm going to order off Amazon because I just love her), but I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions? Please note, I am not into…

Chicken Parmesan Baked Ziti recipe
I found this recipe on Sparkrecipes.com and just got to try it tonight! It's delicious! It takes some work, but it's totally worth it! :) Ingredients 1.5 lbs chicken breast tenders (I used Kroger's Simple Truth Chicken Cutlets) 1 cup plain bread crumbs 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp garlic salt 1/2 tsp garlic powder…

Exercise shorts/pants with pockets?
Okay, so I walk outside everyday and have been forced to carry a bag with me that holds my keys, phone and I-pod, but I would rather not have to do that and just put everything in my pocket. Problem is that I can't find ANY exercise shorts/pants that have pockets. I have looked at Di*cks, Sports Authority, Old Navy and…

Cheap exercise clothes?
So, I've been using old softball tournament shirts (from like ten years ago) to work out in. They are all medium and they used to fit fine, but since I've lost as much as I have, some of them are super baggy and just uncomfortable for me to wear. My shorts are the same way. They are mediums, but are getting a little loose.…

Heart rate monitor?
Okay, I've been looking into getting a heart rate monitor, but most of the ones I've seen have been over a $100, which is a little high for me at the moment. So, I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for a good heart rate monitor that was under $100? Thanks!

So, I'm in need of a new pair of shoes...
Like the title says, I am in desperate need of a new pair of shoes to work out in.The ones I'm using now are from high school (so, they are at least six years old). They fit fine and everything, but the soles are worn down pretty badly and I just think it's time to replace them. I have a wide foot and a high instep so…

Multivitamin?
I don't know if this is the right place for this question, but here I go anyway. I take a multivitamin everyday. Specifically I take Centrum Liquid Multivitamin since I'm not the biggest fan of pills. The only problem with the liquid is it tastes so gross that I have to mix it with something that can mask the taste. I'm…

Am I losing weight too fast?
Okay, so here's the deal. I started this weighting 168 lbs on January 13th. I started working out last week (worked out three times burning between 300 and 400 calories per work out doing cardio using the elliptical and the treadmill). I've been eating pretty healthy, but I think I've only stayed below the 1200 calorie…

Low calorie/low fat pizza recipe!
I have a low calorie cookbook (1,001 Low-fat Recipes by Sue Splitler) and found this pizza recipe in it. It's AMAZING and so much better than any of the chain pizza places around (not to mention, much more healthy). It's a little time consuming because you have to make everything from scratch (takes me about an hour to…

Hi!
Okay, so I'm not really new to Myfitnesspal since I've been using it for over a week on my phone, I am new on here since i wasn't aware that they had a site! Anyway, I did lose about 30 pounds a few years ago by using the slim-fast plan, but over the years I have not been as diligent in keeping with the good eating and…
