How much do you pay for a gym membership?

But it's $40 a month, plus I have 2 kids I need to take with me so it's $20 per kid per month for the Kids Club~$80 a…

What kind of exercise can I do without really moving?
I know, sort of a weird question, but I'm hoping you guys might have some ideas. :) I work at a group home for teens overnight, they are in the highest level of care so I have to be directly supervising all night. What they usually have me do is set up a small table and chair in the hallway right outside of the bedrooms (I…

Emotional/Stress Eating
I have been fat all my life and I think food has always been my only coping mechanism for stressful/just generally yucky situations. I have been doing better lately with eating healthy and exercising. But I still cannot get past this. Today I am SO stressed out and frustrated. And I am SO tempted to order a pizza or go to…

Eating back exercise calories? I'm confused
My current weight is 380 (ugh!!!) and MFP tells me my daily calorie goal should be 2,600. PLUS it tells me to eat back my calories burned, which is usually around 1,500. I've only been exercising faithfully for 2.5 weeks but usually go to the gym for 5 or 6 days a week and work out for 1.5-2 hours. I haven't been eating…

Any swimmers?
Ok so I just joined a gym 2 weeks ago but I've been mostly swimming for my workouts. I go 5-6 days a week and swim every day, and also do a water aerobics class 3 times a week. Being in the pool and chlorine every day has definitely had an effect on my skin and hair :( Can anyone recommend a good shampoo/conditioner for…

Anyone have 200+ to lose?
Or if you've already lost 200+ can you post pictures and what you did to get there? I am so huge, and I just hope I can stick with everything this time to finally lose weight.

Sauna/steam room?
I just joined a gym and tried out the sauna and steam room, my first time in a sauna in years abd first time ever in a steam room. Is there any real benefits to either? What is the reasoning behind it? Also is there any maximum time you should stick to? I didn't care for the sauna but the steam room was so relaxing and it…

Having trouble eating all of my calories
Hello, I am starting out at an obese almost 400 pounds (ugh!!!). I used the BMR tool and it said my BMR is 2600 calories. I also did a calculation of BMR using an equation I found on another site before I knew MFP had such a simple tool, lol, and it was the same, right around 2600. Normally, I do probably eat way over 2600…

New here, lots to lose! Need advice on exercise please!
Hi, I have been overweight/obese for awhile. I had some health problems (not weight related) that came up 2 years ago that caused me to gain a lot of weight, but that's just an excuse, I was well over 300lbs before any of that. In April of this year I weighed in at 372. I'm tall so I always try to convince myself that i…
