Help! Any iFit users here?
I got a treadmill with iFit on it. I turn it on the first workout and it was crazy. Any recommendations for someone who can barely walk down a hallway are appreciated.

Shoe Issue
I have posted before and ended up wearing different shoes which really helped me. But, Wednesday I was in the zone. I walked 36 minutes Wednesday and had the energy to keep going, but I had to stop. My shoe was rubbing against the back of my ankle. Now, I have a sore there. I really want to go back and walk this week. Is…

Restaurant Menus
I will be the first to admit that I eat out entirely too much. But, when they started putting calories on menus it made me want to eat out more. I felt like I finally had power. If I wanted that Olive Garden pasta dish, I'd order it and split it in half to make the calories manageable. I'd just have the other half the next…

Treadmill Issues - Questions for those who were very overweight and sedentary when they started
I started back on a diet and fitness plan a month and a half ago. I joined Planet Fitness (loving it) and am working hard. But, I am having some issues with speed. I was at 2.5 for 15 minutes (18 if you count the cool down) and had a rough time with it. I had been doing 2.5 and 2.7. I am not asking for medical advice. I…

Planet Fitness
I'm debating on using them and trying to start some sort of weight training. I'm down 45 officially (I started MFP into my diet) and I'm thinking I should start doing some weight training. My goal is 150 pds and I have 78 more to get there (if my math is right). I'm thinking that some sort of weight training would make it…

UP24
I noticed something odd this morning. I first noticed it a few mornings ago, but thought that it was a one time glitch. Today, I decided to take a day off to rest. I've been walking three mi. a day and my feet are sporting three new bandaids. So, when I looked on MFP this morning it said I'd earned -153 calories for…

Running Shoes for the overweight
I've been on tons of sites that talk about the importance of running shoes if you start a running program. I was thinking of giving Couch 2 5K a shot. I was also thinking it would be smart to pick up some new shoes. I am about 100 pounds overweight. I am wondering which shoes would be my best bet for running (mostly…

Exercise and Stitches
Yesterday, I had three stitches in my neck for a minor procedure. I forgot tot ask the doctor about exercise. I have been trying to walk three miles a day. Anyone exercising with stitches? There is no bandage on it because it is just below my hairline.

Polar vs Nike vs Spark
Lately, I've tried to use my Polar more. But, I feel like I'm being ripped off on the calorie department. For example, today I walked 1.19 (I was testing). I wore my Polar and used Nike. According to Nike I burned 153 calories. According to Polar I burned 60. I put my miles and time on the Spark People fitness map and…

Striiv Users
Is anyone using this with MyFitnessPal. A friend told me about this, this morning. I'm just curious if you are using it, if you are synching with MyFitnessPal, and any overall opinions.

I've been thinking
So, in the last three or so days I've lost weight. I also have NOT been exercising. I was stalling when I was exercising. Though that doesn't actually mean the two are related. After all, I have also lost weight when exercising. There are people who eat back their calories on here and people who don't. I am trying to be…

Weight Weirdness
Through the last few months I have had some big ups and downs. I've stalled, gained, and lost bigger than I thought I should have. I thought I was going so much slower than I should be. According to MFP I should be losing 1.9 pounds each week. But, with my gain and stall weeks I figured I wasn't even close. Then I did the…

Diet Coke vs Iced Tea with Spenda
Is there a health difference. I'm a huge Diet Caffeine Free Coke addict. But, yesterday I bought some Lipton and Splenda and thought I'd try doing tea for a while.

30 day Shred
I think it may just be too much for me right now. I'm thinking of putting the video on a shelf and sticking to walking for a couple months. The jumping jacks are just killing me.

Football Snacks
We love college football. Ohio State is our team. I was looking at the wings I usually make. I realized they are costing me a lot of calories. I had no idea wings had so many calories considering they are chicken! Does anyone have any great football meals they make that the whole family will love? There are non dieting…

You know what is frustrating
I'm pretty good about putting in my calories, at least I have been for a while. But, every time we go back to where I'm from, I don't put them in. I'm from East Liverpool, Ohio. In East Liverpool, when someone moves away, there are two places they always visit when they come back - The Hot Dog Shoppe and Brunos Pizza.…

Punching Bag
Does anyone here work out with a punching bag? I've been thinking of alternating walking (possibly couch to 5K, not sure I can handle it) one day and punching bag the other. Do we need to take a break on in between days if we them or can we just get away with alternating days?

Nike+
I have Nike+ with gps, but I cannot figure out how to make those times equal with the ones we have in myfitness pal. Is there a way to just connect Myfitnesspal to Nike+?

How big are your calorie fluctuations
Last weekend I went off my diet. I didn't really go off it in a huge way. But, I'm sure I overate a little. When I got back from my mini vacation and weighed myself I'd gained 7 pounds? Umm how does one gain 7 pounds in two days? I did not eat that much. Weirder still, by Thursday I was back down to 252. I was on the big P…
