Favorite Gyms in NE Ohio?
Thinking about joining a gym and wondering if there might be any recommendations out there. (Preferably one with personal trainers, b/c I'd join to start lifting, and need some guidance.) thx!

Weight lifting calories
Sorry if this has been asked before (coudn't find it in a quick search)... So I have all my #'s mapped out to where I *believe* (hope, pray :) ) they should be. I have about a 200 calorie difference between my BMR and my TDEE. My question is: when I exercise, do I eat back the cals? My exercise consists of : full body…

re: lifting...How long will it hurt?
So I did my first workout w/ weights yesterday, and I am slated to do another tomorrow. Mind you, I wanted to start small, and I did - but I am quite sore! Not so much that I can't go about my day to day business, but I am honestly kind of scared about tomorrow! Ouch! (And I know it's all burn, not injury). So my questions…

iso: recommendation for a dumbbell workout video
Hi! Looking for a dumbbell workout video. (For a beginner - really want to get good form down...) I am way to chaotic to have to flip through papers or read charts or spreadsheets while I'm exercising. Seems like a video would do the trick! Thanks.

I know I'm not an 'exception to the rule", but ...
Sometimes, I feel like I so get this, but these days, it's getting murky. I need some help. For just about the last month, I've been at the same weight (bouncing up and down a bit, but basically the same). Last weekend, i decided to step away (I've been doing MFP since April, and EMtWL since May.) I had 2 graduation…

An argument for full fat salad dressing
http://www.thekitchn.com/scientists-say-salad-isnt-as-healthy-without-salad-dressing-173220 The gist: fat is necessary to absorb nutrients, of the fats tested, monounsaturated fats do that most efficiently. (Canola, olive oil...) Enjoy those salads, friends!

Can't fall off the wagon...
Usually, when I start a campaign to lose weight, eat better, etc., I run smack dab into fatigue, drama and emotional eating. Immediately after, I enter into the "screw it" phase. (I'm pretty sure it's called that, technically.) Can you believe I haven't "emotionally eaten" once in 60 days? I find it crazy, myself. In…

Great info from a shady web-site
I was deep into reading about some case studies re: calorie restriction when I realized the website is called "Scientific Psychic", and has links to a bunch of hoo-ha about paranormal activity, etc. Anyhow, the material that's posted there citing calorie restriction studies is pretty sweet, and certainly backs up what's…

Why "Burned 1 Calorie"?
Hi y'all... OK - So I just started the 30 Day Shred (day 2 y'all!)... I haven't been exercising regularly, and this is the first time since joining EMtWL. Anyhow, I'm kinda excited to see my little "burned 222 calories" thing pop up. However, I see a lot of people's feed say "burned 1 calorie" for 90 minutes of "X". I'm…

Does anyone do the 30 Day Shred? What do you think of it?
I just did day 1 of this... I liked it, and am wondering how experienced work out folks think it ranks. I feel like I'm a pretty healthy eater, but I have real trouble getting consistant with exercise. I thought maybe a "doable" 20 minutes of someone telling me what to do would help.... What do you all think of it? thx

I <3 Apple Cider Vinegar
So, I'm not sure about the health benefits of ACV, but I know that I love the little mixy-mix I make with it. Seriously, I didn't think I would be able to drink this stuff, but I actually drink it a couple times a day now, in place of plain water. Have any of you experienced health benefits as a result of drinking ACV?…

Taking a turn to ask for help...
Hi all! I've been doing MFP for 40 days now, and have been using the EMTWL ideas since almost the beginning of that time. I'm starting to feel a bit confused, and am questioning whether I've done something wrong here... I suppose I'm wondering this since I am not seeing changes on the scale (yes, I know, the nasty scale :)…

Does EMTWL need to include heavy lifting?
Hi! I have been doing the EMTWL method for 2 or 3 weeks. It makes tons of sense to me, and having not been much of a yo yo dieter, I don't think I've had to do much metabolism repair. I'm curious if there are many people who are eating this way who are not lifting heavy. It seems like they go hand in hand for quite a few…

Measurements Question
I finally got a good measuring tape and am recording my measurements... Question about measuring waist... My natural waist (the narrowest part, right?) is 34.25 inches, however 1 inch above my belly button is rather larger :) at 38.75 inches. Which measurement do I use for the waist/ hip ratio, and just for good record…

What is "iifting heavy"?
I keep hearing "lift heavy" or go home. :) Not sure what this means, how heavy is heavy, and what types of routines people do when they LH. Thanks! (I don't want to have to go home...)

PB2!!
So excited - I just got my PB2 in the mail. It sounds kind of yucky - powdered peanut butter - but is great in smoothies, sauces, even cookies! The best news - 5 grams of protein, and only 1.5 grams of fat per serving. 45 calories. Can't wait for my smoothie tomorrow morning! (Or my PB oatmeal....) :)

Is anyone focusing on Superfoods?
I'm watching my calories here on MFP, and trying to incorporate as many superfoods into my day as I can. I aim for 10 servings of a superfood a day. Most of my info about superfoods comes from this website and accompanying books: http://www.superfoodsrx.com/ I'd love to be in/ start/ a group with others who are into eating…
