Mile times
Hey everyone! I've been using the elliptical at my gym a lot lately, but I seem to only be averaging nearly a 30-minute mile. I'm wondering, though I probably don't have to ask, isn't that a long time to do a mile? I feel like I see posts all the time that say people are doing a mile in 10 minutes or less on various…

Running NSV
My very first NSV! I did my run tonight (training for a 5k walk/run) as usual, but decided to challenge myself. My average mile is anywhere from 16-20minutes, because I'm terribly out of shape and don't push myself too often. Tonight I managed to run BOTH miles (it's a little over 2 miles from my apartment, around the…

Terrible week/day
So I've been having a rough week with roommate issues, work stuff, and generally life just taking a dump on me. Yesterday was the last straw, so it's just been a rough week. This morning my husband brought home orange rolls to make for breakfast, and I decided to say "You know what, I just need a day where I don't care"…

Seeing 30DS Results?
Just a quick survey of anyone who's doing/has done the 30 Day Shred. I was wondering, when did you start seeing results? I measured myself before starting, took a picture, etc. I am at nearly 2 weeks in (Level 2, Day 4 will be tomorrow), I only took 1 day off...and I've yet to see any results. Last night I measured myself…

Yogurt
I'm wondering if anyone else has the problem with yogurt that it's too...strong, might be the word I'm looking for. Or bitter. I'm trying to start eating yogurt as a snack and have tried a few different kinds (fancy flavors, etc), but they all taste the same to me, really sharp and bitter and just not GOOD. Has anyone ever…

Jillian Michaels DVDs
Question about JM DVDs! So I searched around some threads here and found out about the 30 Day Shred and No More Trouble Zones DVDs. From what I've read, the 30 Day Shred isn't likely something that I can realistically keep up after 30 days (even though it sounds great for short-term), and I'm trying to find something to…

Couple questions about exercising and snacking
Hey all! Newbie here. :) I started about 2 weeks ago, I was recommended this site through a friend. I have a goal to lose about 30 lbs, give or take (depends on how I'm looking, 30 may be too much, I'm already "skinny" but am tired of my stomach/thigh fat), before next summer, so I have plenty of time. I'm not really…

How to determine normal daily activities?
I'm trying to figure out what to set my normal daily activity level at. :) My day job is running a video store. I'm on my feet probably for half the day or more (much more if we're busy!), but not exactly running or anything--just walking back and forth from the computer to the movies and back, over and over. When I'm at…
