Ellipticals!
Hi there everyone, I used to go to the gym and loved the elliptical. I moved to an area that doesn't have a gym near more, nor do I really have any friends to hitch a ride from. So I was thinking of buying an elliptical. I liked the elliptical because my knees didn't hurt near as much after the treadmill, or my walking…

Good Arm Exercises?
So I know I can't spot reduce, but I need some arm exercises, I don't really know any. I made myself a May work out challenge with myself, and I have all kinds of things that help my legs (OK there are like 7 exercises but I don't know what else to put in there lol) I have a set of dumb bells that are 5 pounds each, what…

Week 6 day 1
I don't understand this day... you go from a 20 minute run back down to 5r 3w 8r 3w 5r Day 2 makes more sense progressively, 2 ten minute runs separated, but even then it seems like it could really just repeat 20 minutes a few times or maybe like 2 15 minute runs separated by a 3 or 5 minute walk... Anyway after all that…

Is this true or did I make it up?
I make things up on accident sometimes. Is it true you are supposed to "break" from your diet and go up to maintenance every once in a while? Not a complete non-logging break of unhealthy foods, just bumping up to that maintenance amount so your body can recover? I've been doing this for over a year and I've noticed I've…

Three in one day!
Two little, and one big NSV's today. 1. The Pajama pants I bought which are a size 22-24 that I was afraid to buy not only fit but are baggy, which means that even if I haven't gone down a jeans size I've lost another stretchy pants size. 2. I was CRAVING a run all day, even though its one of my off days, (I run with the…

Carbs?
I read something that says I should maybe lower my carbs as well as my calories but I have no idea what I'm doing there, how do I do my carbs?

1 year 5 days and 100 pounds.
I started this on 09/23/2012 at 380 pounds, that was my real start, I started roughly, I restricted way to far down on week days (1200 a day) and way under restricted on the weekends (eating between 2-4 thousand calories a day) In March I started on Myfitnesspal I was at 340. I am now 280 pounds. I still have roughly 130…

Lightly Active VS Sedentary
Ok, so when I started my job it was 8 hours on the phone no getting up except for breaks. I've recently been promoted to floorwalker so I spend 5-7 hours on my feet. Would that make me "Lightly Active"? Also if it does, can I still log my walk to work (23 minutes 3.5 miles per hour) separately or do I have to include it in…

anyone lost 200 or more pounds...?
I want to see some before and afters of people that lost 200 or so (preferably mroe) pounds. Sometimes I get scared about losing that much weight and seeing some before and afters might calm that a little. idunno

Family NSV
Well as you can see I've been doing this a couple months now, I started off/on watching what I ate in September of last year. In March I really really started getting in the habit, cutting my "Cheat days" Realized I could have whatever I wanted in moderation, and I could earn it by exercising. I decided to look and add up…

300+ exercises?
I've tried googling this and maybe that wasn't the best course, but I"m curious if there are any exercises that might be a little easier on a 304 pounder than jumping around and squats (which make my knees make the most horrid sounds) If Not I'll keep trying, I can't do very many of them, but I'm thinking I should be doing…
-
Plateaus
So, I know everyone gets to them, I knew I would, but I don't understand them. Why do you suddenly stop losing that 2 lbs per week, and how do you over come them? Any loss is good, and I"m not really that sad cause I knew it would be coming, but I'm curious as to why it happens.

Stationary Bike, How accurate
So, I bought an recumbent exercise bike. or some such, anyway exercise bike, how accurate are the calories burned in the exercise database? It says light effort burns like 200 if I ride for 15 minutes Does that sound about right? I need a heart monitor but the one that came with it is broke, I'm gonna get one but don't…

O goodness my creaking knees!
Ok, so I was trying to do these weird, bendy, squatty stretch things the other day and when I bend my knees it hurts and makes this god awful noise! Should I keep trying or should I leave it alone till I lose some more weight?

Why so hungry?
Ok, so on days I walk, (I usually walk to and from work, this week not so much) I'm /less/ hungry on days that I sit around doing nothing. Does anyone know why?

How to measure Hips?
Ok, So I bought a floppy tape measure today. I know how to measure my neck (obviously) I'm pretty sure I got my waist right but I can't figure out the hips. Do I go over the low hanging belly (yeah its gross I'm working on it) or under that?
-
What kind of machine?
So I walk to and from work, but it seems the faster I get, the less walking I"m doing, which means less calories burned. So I am thinking about buying an exercise machine but I have no idea what type to get, any suggestions? I guess I could just get a treadmill, but it seems like 45-60 min of walking to/from work would…

Does it even out?
So yesterday I ate waaay to little calories, and today I'm over by about 50 if I'm usually consistently right at goal does that even out?

Scared of something
OK I don't know if this is the right place/forum/area, but I keep trying to put off more weight loss, and sabotaging myself because I'm scared of something. If I lose all this weight am I gonna be floppy with extra skin? That is the scariest thing that I can think about and for some reason it seems worse than being this…
