Trouble Sleeping with Exercise?
I started exercising this week at the gym (zumba, treadmill, weights). I workout some days from 3:30-4:30 and others from 6-8...I do not have time to go before work. And, I have had trouble sleeping all week! I feel so much better during the day...just more energy in general, but I can't seem to settle down at night...I've…

? about calories burned
I am using a heart rate monitor and want to just add the calories that I burned to my exercise diary, but I'm not seeing a quick add option like with calories added to your food diary where I can just put those in. HELP! I'm probably just not seeing it.

Turbo Kick
I have been taking an hour-long Turbo Kick classes (a mix of aerobics and high intensity kick-boxing). I have no idea how to put that into my exercise log to even get an idea of calories burned. Any suggestions?

Do you think it's the shoes?
I bought a pair of Asics Gel Nimbus running shoes a few months ago. They were comfy for that whole 5 minutes I walked around the shoe store pondering whether or not to buy them. That was really my only though in decision making---comfort! But, I have noticed that when I'm kickboxing OR even walking at a very quick pace, my…

What keeps you motivated?
I just want to be fit and healthy...I'm not terribly concerned with weight loss (maybe that's the problem?)...though I'd like to stay put and not gain. I just want to feel good about myself. I read all the health mags and browse here daily, but it's a constant battle with food choices and exercise. I know what to do and…

enough calories
I am trying to lose 10 pounds by June 1st. I am taking hour long turbo kick classes at my gym 2-3 days a week. What is a realistic calorie goal? I plugged the info. into the goals section of my page and it is only giving me 1200 calories a day which seems like so few. I'm 5'3, 141 pounds.

Poll: Frozen meals or not?
I know alot of people rely on frozen meals (i.e. lean cuisine, healthy choice, WW) for portion control and a quick go-to for work, etc. I've read alot about how bad they are for you concerning sodium, carbs, etc in certain books. Yet, my health mags have pages listening faves or best for you, yada yada. I have mixed…

How do you log the 30 day shred?
I can't find it under cardio or strength...all I find is "circuit training" which is what each level on the DVD is, but it says it only burns barely under 200 calories for 20 minutes. Am I logging it incorrectly or is this right?

Fave form of cardio?
I'm posting in success stories because obviously whatever cardio you are doing is working! What do you do for cardio? I'm not regularly exercising right now aside from playing volleyball once a week and I'm trying to motivate myself to do so. I would love to start running and started the couch to 5k plan before I got…

daily calorie goal
I don't know if I'm getting too many calories or not enough. Right now, with the selections I made when I started using MFP in early Sept., I'm getting 1500 calories a day. I'm not losing much weight at all and I'm STARVED! Granted, I have a 2 month old and I am going from eating what I want to trying to limit myself and…

filling, but low cal?
I'm a little frustrated. I am so busy during the day that I don't find time to consume enough calories to keep me satisfied until dinner. I took pretzels to work for a snack today, but ate them when I found a few minutes between breakfast and lunch. I hate using all my calories on snacks so I don't. But I get so hungry by…

We are not going to have anymore kids and I turn 30 next year...I think knowing I'm not going to get pregnant again gives me more motivation to get to my goal weight plus everyone says…
