Heart Rate Monitors - what one did you get?
I'm looking to buy a HRM so I know exactly how much I'm burning. I'm on a tight budget but I also don't want to invest in a totally crap one. What one did you get, how much did it cost and how effective do you find it? :)

Post-Celebration Blues?
Anyone had a celebration/holiday thing that has upturned their inner peace and calm determination to change life style? Before my birthday I was so controlled and felt so calm making the right choices. I came here everyday, logged everything, was so good with my exercise. Since my birthday my family and friends think I'm…

Anxiety when missing a workout...
Does anyone else get this? I've only started my routine in the last two weeks (even less) and I already have a panicky, HORRIBLE anxiety feeling inside because I'm missing a really really good deep aqua class. Plus I'm eating about triple my allowance - It's my bday but despite this fact and all the family efforts I'm…

Net calories, body fat % and weight loss Q?
OK I understand that eating back exercise calories is really important - I don't want a slow metabolism, I don't want t starve my body and plus it's lame feeling hungry all the time. I remind everyone else of this also. Thing is let's say I meet my 1200 goal every day with 5 workouts a week (eating back the cals). Does…

How to post a picture in a thread?
I realized over going through a recent diet and weight loss help thread that quite a few people like me don't know how. The "help" option above isn't, well, helping. I know it's simple but Google sadly is being very contradicting right now. Would be MUCH appreciated :)

I thought I was fit... until I climbed a hill.
You know what, I thought that I was pushing myself, that I was fitter than I was, that I could do this humassive hike up various hills on sore feet for five hours. Damn. I was wrong. It has shed a new perspective on my level of fitness and how much I push myself during my home exercises. I CLIMBED THAT DAMNED HILL!!! I…

Hunger before bed?
I'm used to eating late - well snacking late. Thing is it's recommended not to eat a few hours before sleep right? But what if your belly is like STARVING and a glass of water only exacerbates the problem? I don't wanna go into starvation mode.... :(

Too tired to exercise?
I know this probably has been asked a million times. My working hours are nuts. For example I was up at 4am and got home 8.15pm. A long long day. My job involves either hours of driving or hours of standing in one spot. Both require intense concentration (I present to several large groups on a daily basis and have to…

I'll start tomorrow... again...
I've said these words many times! In fact I said them today and BINGED like a mad woman then was faced with the usual guilt and self anger. I was browsing sites and blogs from people who have mentioned this site with great enthusiasm. Now I know why. I have joined sites before but 5 minutes in I can already see that this…
