Le Boot Camp
Has anyone tried Le Boot Camp? How long do you have to do it? The reviews I found online said good things, but were not descriptive, so I'm wary. In this month's Klutch box I will be getting a coupon or free month or something. I like trying new things so I would like to use the coupon, but I don't want to start it if I…

Coming back to Finish What I Started
Old habits die hard. That is for sure! I was on here in 2012-2013 and lost about 70 pounds. I was about ten pounds from my goal weight, then left to see how I did without tracking. I did great for a few months, then I let it slip. I stopped weighing myself regularly ("Hey, I'm not gaining anyway, why check it"). I stopped…

How many calories burned in Vinyasa yoga?
I am doing a warm power Vinyasa (working my way up to the "hot yoga") and I know I burned way more calories than the yoga option on MFP. The only yoga in the MFP system is a mild Hatha. I looked up how many calories were burned during Vinyasa, but I still got drastically different numbers. What do you enter it as? If you…

What kind of juicer do you have?
So, I want to buy a juicer, but don't know whay to look for in a juicer. What kind do you have? What did it cost? Was it worth it? Is it easy to clean? Does it work efficiently? Is it loud? Do you make things other than juice with yours (nut butters, soups, etc.)? Those are all my random questions. I really know nothing…

What does your doctor say you should weigh?
I am 5 feet 4 inches and had set my UGW at 140. It was exactly 100 lbs less than I started and well within the "normal" BMI. This week I went to my doctor and found out I had set my goal too low. He told me that because of my body type, I should actually shoot for 155 (which would technically be in the overweight category,…

65 pounds gone. Happy Birthday to me! (with pics)
Hi, Yesterday was my birthday. My best present was knowing that I've lost 65 pounds in the past 11 months. I made some promises to myself yesterday and I'm telling everyone so that I have to keep them. Here goes: I will stop telling myself how far I have to go and be proud that I've made it this far. I will stop making…

No one is trying to sabotage you!
Okay, I know there are cases where people genuinely are, but that's not most people. I keep seeing posts about this and I just want to throw this out there. Most of what you see as "sabotage" is, in fact someone who doesn't understand where you are coming from.When a friend offers you chips, they probably just thought you…

Best Sports Bra?
Hey ladies, I cannot for the life of me find a good sports bra. Anyone know a good running bra for a large cup size? I know it's kind of a weird question, but I don't know who else I could ask. Thanks, Serena

People losing weight: How many days a week do you lift?
To those who are still losing weight: How often do you lift? Do you lift heavy? How has it worked for you? I just started hitting the weight room last week. I'm new to lifting. I've done strictly cardio and power yoga up until now. I love those and they have worked for me (I'm down 54lbs), but as I get closer to my goal I…

Inexpensive Juicers?
I'm interested in getting a juicer, but I can't afford a really good one. Are there any cheaper ones that are good? I am wary of cheap ones because I don't want to buy one just to have it break. Are there any that I should definitely stay away from? Thanks Serena

NSV Awesome Thighs!
I hadn't been losing much weight recently and was kind of bummed. Then yesterday as I was working out I realized that my thighs had gotten really strong and look way better in my yoga pants. During my yoga I paid attention to the execution of my postures. I was amazed at how much better I am at them! Honestly, last night…

It's a new day. We got this!
I keep seeing things from my friends and on the forum about "getting off track" or how the holidays messed you up. People have been sick (myself inlcuded) or busy and fitness has taken a back seat (myself included). So, here's my universal advice: Yesterday was bad, sure, but today doesn't have to be. Maybe this morning…

Working out with a chest injury?
I have major swelling in the cartilage in my ribcage. :cry: I can't rotate my torso or lift anything. For a couple of days I will be on pain meds, but after that I want to start exercising asap. My doctor said that I can as long as I don't twist or lift. Does anyone know any good workouts that I could do? I will be trying…

50 pounds down in 2012! Halfway there :-)
I started out the year at 240 lbs. I increased my activity unintentionally and started to lose a little weight. After seeing that it was possible, I started in earnest. In August I joined MFP and started working out at my school gym. Now I go to the gym or power yoga at least three times a week. I eat less, but if I'm…

BodyMedia Fit tips?
On Monday I will be getting a BodyMedia Link. I want to start it right away. I will, of course, read the directions. Like any device I am guessing there are tips or tricks for working with it. So, I'm wondering if anyone has advice for it's use. Is it pretty straightforward? Or will it take time to learn how to use it and…

Toddler Workout?
Do you know of any good websites, books or videos of workouts I can do with a toddler? The more challenging and fun, the better! I have had almost no time to workout this week, so I'm trying to get some workouts in at work. I am a nanny of a 18 month old. We had a big snow storm this week and it has been pretty cold, so…

GoBites and KlutchClub boxes? Are they worth it?
Has anyone tried the GoBites or KlutchClub subscription boxes? If so, do you like them? Are they a good value? Are they things you would use/eat? I've looked the stuff up online, but just thought I'd see what MFP people thought, since I've gotten pretty good advice here I'm looking for something a friend can get me for…

Have you tried KlutchClub?
I'm thinking about asking a friend to get me the 3 month Klutch Club subscription for xmas. Have you or someone you know tried it? What's the verdict? I am trying to find things that will motivate me to workout and eat better. I was thinking the monthly box might help. I'm new to the fitness/weight loss stuff so it seems…
