Embarrassed to ask but I have to know
Okay, this is kind of a personal question, but I'll ask it anyway. Can exercise lengthen the time of a menstrual cycle? I always, always, ALWAYS was a 4 day person. I just started at the gym on Mother's Day...it started that day, and I'm still on it. It's been 6 days. Is this normal? I've been doing crunches. Will this…

I'm baaaack!!
Just saying hi, I've been off here for awhile. I've been going through crisis after crisis, and lost my motivation. I finally got back on track, and to date have lost 54 pounds. I joined Weight Watchers simply for the accountability. I joined a gym to get myself into shape, and to speed things up. I'm not overdoing it...I…

Argh.
Hey folks, just saying hi again. It's been a few weeks since I've been on here, and also a few weeks since I 1) ate correctly, and 2) logged in my diary. Yes, I fell off the wagon with a resounding thud. (The idea of a big behind cushioning your fall is a myth, btw.) I'm one of those stress eaters, and things got to me.…

Weird Question
Ok, I know this is weird, but I'm asking anyway. Do you know if they have dance classes for heavy women? I don't know, salsa, whatever. I LOVE dancing...I used to dance all the time. I've gained all this weight, and have no one to go with anymore. :sad: I thought maybe a dance class would be a fun way to burn off calories,…

How many calories burned???
I work in a factory, (sometimes, when I'm not laid off), and I was wondering about how many calories are burned in an 8 hour day. I walk a lot, I'd say at a leisurely pace, about 6 out of the 8 hours. I can't find this in the database, since it's random, so can anyone help me? Thanks!:smile:

This Random Jogger.....
I went to the local metropark yesterday to attempt the 3 mile path, which I did. Anyway, it was quite busy with joggers, bikers, power walkers, etc. So here I go, sweating my *kitten* off, when some jogger comes at me, and says "Way to go! Good job!" And keeps going. I mutter thanks, and continue on. The thing is, I was…

Close Call!!!
OMG...I was so close to going hog wild today. I'm a stress eater. When I get upset, I eat. Between the loss of my twin grandsons, my aunt, my brother, being laid off, my daughter's psycho ex boyfriend...I gained so much weight in the last few years it's crazy. Today I was upset about something. I went to go walk, but I…

Late Night Snacking
I'm aware that most of the weight I've gained came from eating in the evenings, but it's never been more apparent than now. I go CRAZY in the evenings. I start wandering the kitchen like a zombie, just LOOKING for something to devour. I like to read, and my habit in the past has been to munch on something while I read. I…

I'm an old newbie
Well, this is the first time I'm trying to lose weight with any seriousness. I'm 43, 5'4" and weigh 279 lbs. I am completely miserable, with joint pain and all that goes with being seriously overweight. I have no idea what the heck I'm doing, but this looks like a great support site. I've been looking for something like…
