What I am here to bi(cross)ch about is the scale during that time.…

heart rate and walking
So I have my fitbit..love it. Happened onto a smart health walking thing in the clearance aisle at walmart..only steps and heart rate. The step counter and my fitbit...DEAD ON! I couldn't believe it...but anyhow my real question is : is this a good heart rate for walking? I'm 50 years old (not sure if that matters) for 85%…

NSV -- no more butt jiggle

I hated walking because of how much everything jiggled behind me when I walked...forget even jogging or running. today that was what i noticed most while I was sweating and panting on my walk...did a couple of hills twice just cuz that's how I…

fitbit activity record question
Ok so for whatever reason when I synced up my fitbit..it did not carry my walk over to the "activity record" area for today..so I don't see that cool little graph. It's still showing up as a "logged activity" but the info did not carry down to the next area. So what it says is "no activity record" WTH? I need it down in…

OMG I can still run...go figure!
So all of a sudden today while on my walk I just felt like a filly just let out of the fence and had to take off and run. I am 50 years old and thought I'd better do this on the dead end in case I fall on my face..at least there will be less people to see me. I DID IT! I ran..yeah it wasn't very long...maybe 1/4 a…

manual treadmill
I just got this today at our local kmart and already love it. I had already done my workouts for the day so wasn't going to do too much ..but climbed on it and walked for 10 minutes...I felt like I had been running. I'm pretty sure even without all the bells and whistles it's going to give me a good workout for my late…

Everybody is getting on that last one nerve that is…

Cinnamon -- the diet wonder?
just heard this from my daughter yesterday. Cinnamon can help with weight loss? Apparently it kicks your metabolism into a higher gear? I'm gonna give it a shot..I love it anyhow. Just wondered if this has been known for awhile and I'm just now hearing it?

So my son is really pushing my willpower to the test. He's practicing to be a baker. HELP! I've tried to get him to use lowfat stuff and stevia..but he claims these ruin his "creations" and his "creations" could ruin my progress. edit -- for instance today he made chocolate cherry chip cookies..ok those are like 120 a…

too much thunder in my thighs
So this is where I hold my weight..in my butt and my thighs. I'm doomed to life with a big butt..it runs on my moms side of the family. I have lost like 3 inches in my waist and I am sure it just slid down and joined club thigh. I am walking 3 miles every other day and sometimes every day. BRISK walking..no conversations…

Can't stop moving!!!
Good goddess I feel like I am developing some kind of ADD for exercise!!! I got a zumba class starting in a month but I can't wait. I walk at LEAST every other day...and when I am home I need to be running up and down my stairs or dancing or something. This would NOT be considered "normal" behavior for me. It's a high I'm…

mfp reminded me how much I love to cook
I am enjoying cooking again thanks to MFP. I have completely stopped anything from coming into the house that can be delivered. It has helped that we moved a year ago this month to a house where we can actually have a garden..and although we started out small with cucumbers and tomatoes..it's been a huge help. I am in love…

turkey vs beef..your thoughts
Which is better for you? We grilled turkey burgers last night..and they were YUM! BUT are they really lower in calories, fat and better for you than beef? I also found Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Crumbles that I am thinking will work great in meals..has anybody used them and have some good recipes?

Just wondering how many people use shape up shoes and what do you think about them? I had heard a lot of negative stuff with the legal things going on with them. However my best friend had/has a pair and she loves them. So I found a pair on sale at TJ MAXX for 24.99. OMG -- these are the most amazing shoes ever. I have…
