Farmer's Market
Do you get your fruits and veggies at a farmer's market? I am going for the first time tomorrow. What kinds of prices should I expect? I'm excited to get lots of veggies for hopefully cheaper than the supermarket. Plus, I'm happy to help locals.

Trying to figure out my schedule if I join a gym.
Here's the deal. If I wanted to exercise at home, I'd either have to do videos or jog at 4am OR after work when I get home. Of course, it might be dark when I get home (winter months). OR I could join a gym with DH. The cost would be $45/month for our family, and this gym offers classes, weights, and machines. However, DH…

wheat germ and wheat bran
I bought these two things at the supermarket because I heard they're good for you. Now, what do I do with them?

schedule question for runners
I'm just easing into running right now...more of a fast walk and jog right now. I am wondering what your running schedules look like? What other exercises do you do? Do you do strength or anything else on days you run too? Thanks!

Is this normal or okay? (jogging)
I think I want to take up jogging now. I did a walk/jog for 30 minutes yesterday wearing new running shoes. Today (last night really...about 12 hours later) my ankles and outer thighs are pretty sore. They feel like normal sore muscles feel after a workout. Is this okay? Is it a sign my shoes aren't right? Can I just run…

I feel guilty (re: clean eating).
I am trying to be better about clean eating (eating few processed foods), but I still find myself buying crap snacks for my kids because they're cheap, and I know they'll eat the snacks. They're also easy to grab. So, what easy, good, kid-friendly snacks can I give my kids without all the preservatives and additives? My…

Triglycerides
My sister, who is 27, just found out she has high triglycerides. What does that mean?

When you're all said and done,
how much weight would you like to lose? I know some people have this in their tickers, but I just thought I'd ask anyway. I have my goal set as 135 right now, so that would mean I would have lost 110 pounds. Only 45 more to go! :wink:
-
Multiple tickers?
Does anyone else have more than one ticker in their signature? If so, what do they stand for? My top one is from when my third child was born. I'm about 2 pounds away from being at my pre-pregnancy weight, and he's just over 5 months old. My bottom one is where my weightloss journey actually began. I started working to…

Revving up to exercise
What do you do to either get in the mood to exercise? Do you take anything (special foods or drinks)? Do you think certain thoughts? I am struggling a bit right now with my exercise, probably because I'm putting it off until later in the day due to work and my son's feeding schedule. I don't really want to take any…

clothing sizes--not losing enough sizes?
I have heard and seen various places women who went from XX size to X size with their poundage lost also mentioned. They seem to lose many sizes in clothing as they lose pounds. So, why am I not doing that? I have lost 65 pounds. I went from a size 22/24 to a size 14/16. That's it. I know I still have quite a bit to lose,…

Polar (F4) HRM batteries
Anyone ever change one before? I read on Amazon that you're supposed to take them to a dealer, but do you really have to?

losing pounds but not inches?
Is this possible?
-
If you workout before going to work (in the morning)...
can you please tell me your schedule for the day with times? For instance, how early do you have to get up, and when do you go to bed the night before? Do you have kids to tend to? I'm trying to figure out my schedule for the fall when I return to teaching after my maternity leave. I prefer exercising in the morning, but…

SORE muscles!
I did an exercise dvd (Biggest Loser Cardio Max...all 50 minutes) on Monday with my 5 pound weights. I've done this workout several times before, but for some reason, I'm extremely sore this time around. I didn't exercise yesterday (Tuesday) because of it. I know I was super motivated doing it Monday and pushed a bit…
-
heart rate too high?
I was using my HRM during my exercise dvd yesterday (one I've done several times before). It said my average HR was in the 140s & my highest was 215. Is that safe, the 215?
-
gaining weight while exercising
My husband is getting discouraged. He was able to lose weight before exercising, mostly from just teaching with no added exercise. He's recently started P90 (the original) and is now gaining weight. He definitely has some poundage to lose, so why is the scale going up? He doesn't eat too differently than me, and I've been…

Billy Blanks' Basic Bootcamp ??
I haven't done this video in over a year, and now I finally have the bands. My brother gave me the bands, and they are weighted. Do I need the weights for this exercise? I am not sure these bands are Billy's bands. Also, any idea of about how many calories you burn doing this?
-
short on time...cardio or strength?
Which would you do if you only had 30 minutes to exercise?
-
Scale differences
I bought a $6 non-digital scale today b/c I'm mad at my digital. The non-digi has me weighing 3 lbs less. Which should I believe? I weighed myself under the same conditions. Also, if my digi battery is dying, could it give false numbers?
-
P90 male users
I was just wondering what kind of results or progress you've had with P90 (original...not X). My husband is just starting it, and I was wondering what he might expect. If it matters, he's 5'4" and 180 or so pounds. Thanks!

goat cheese
How long does an open package last in the fridge? Until it's moldy? Also, what do you use it for? I have some leftover from a roasted veggie sandwich.

Is this bad?!
I've done 2 workouts each 3/4 days this week, and I wish I could've done more. Addiction? I'm sure there are people on here just like me.

Schedule for cardio & strength
Do you do cardio one day & strength the other, or what's your weekly schedule look like?

If you walk outside for exercise...
where do you walk? We just moved to a new town, and I don't know where the city park is yet. I don't really want to drive anywhere to walk, but we live on a fairly busy rural road. However, I do see runners out on it quite a bit. I guess I'd be okay to walk on it, right? Also, do you carry a cellphone or anything just in…

For those who've done Biggest Loser Power Sculpt
Does anyone else have issues with their outer, upper thighs hurting badly during the workout and afterwards? I think it's from the courtseys (sp?). If so, what do you do about it? It's hard to walk or go upstairs.
-
strong abs under fat?
I have some fat on my ab region (okay...probably a lot), but I feel like my abs are strong too. Is it possible to have a six pack or whatever under the fat? Is there really any way of knowing? (Now, I know my abs could be stronger, but I just had my third c-section 3.5 months ago. :smile: )

BL Cardio Max questions
I haven't done this dvd in a long time. Please remind me if I need a lot of space (side-to-side) & if I need any weights. If so, how heavy should I start? Thanks!
-
calories burned question (HRM)
I just did Turbo Jam Cardio Party 3. I normally burn 500 calories in the 51ish minutes of the video. My HR is usually in zone for at least 45 of those minutes. Today, my HR was in zone for 33 minutes, and I burned 516 calories (more than usual). Anyone know of an explanation for this? Don't get me wrong...I'll take it, but…

"healthy" hot dog roast
We're having family over tonight for a roast. We were thinking of having hot dogs, chips, pop, s'mores, ??? What should I have to make this healthy for me? I don't want to spend a lot, and I want things that are going to be convienent (i.e. no extra cooking). However, I'm willing to buy a few things for myself. Do you…
