HRM
I am going to get one of those this year. Just there is so many out there. I went to target the other day scoping them out, seeing which one I would want, but there was quite a bit to choose from, different prices. I want something cheap, but something that will count all exercise, not just walking. I have been to the…

need tips on running
I had my daughter sign up for a program called girls on the run. I thought it was a good program because it helps with confidence and esteem for young girls. Right now they are training for a 5k run coming up in November. Lucky me, she picked me to be her partner, seeing how I signed her up for it, she had the last laugh…

Thank you Jillian and Shaun T!!
I started Jillian about a month ago. Sorry I have no pics as of now, so sorry, :( But I have only done level 1 and 2, usually I do them back to back, doing both circuits for the day and whatever workout I do afterwards. Or I do one level and do a cardio, which is hip hop abs. It is amazing that the results I got after I…

My weakness is salty foods. I know I need to stay away from them, but i am curious when everyone started their diets, what was the most impossible to stay away from and how did you control it?

anyone know annoying know it alls?
Ever since I have been on here I am having more success and I am happy about it. I just thinks its funny that people who know what I am doing tend to give me advice about what I am doing, when I already know what I am doing. Or people who say this is wrong, thats wrong, but they sit there and do it themselves anyway. I…

I went from white bread which is 90 cals per slice to country hearth lite which is 70 cals for 2 slices. I would love to hear more, so then I can get more…

My fears
I am afraid, even though I am losing, that I will still look the same. I feel my clothes getting a bit baggier, but I fear that nothing will change with my looks n it wont show, that I will still look fat. Anybody else feel that way too?

Tricking my mind.
For a minute there I was kind of overwhelmed by the calorie thing. It was driving me nuts about what to eat, because I didn't want to waste calories, so I was obsessing over food. Now I like the way people say eat the calories you burn. Well, my motivation is too "earn what you eat". Instead of "eating what you burn", I…

Anyone close to you ever bring you down?
Your trying to do what you gotta do for you, but the person your close too does not seem to help? Meaning, they eat things in front of you and wont get active with you? Its because they dont have to lose weight, "so why should they participate" kind of attitude. I am all alone here. Got a couple of friends, but....its…

Your weakness - part 2:
Our weakness can get the best of us, but that is part of being human. How do you deal with it, when you give into your weakness?
