Wii exercise
Does anyone use the jillian michaels fitness ultimatum 2009 on thier wii? If so how do you like it? Can anyone compare it to the Slim in 6 program? Has anyone heard anything about the EA sports active coming out for the wii next week? I think I'd like to use my Wii a bit more intensely...

Slim in 6
Just saw another post with someone starting to use this series. Can someone plese tell me what it is, as I've been hearing a lot about it lately. Do you just do the cardio exercise etc, or do you need to follow a specific meal plan also? The web site seems to sell a whole bundle of products, can you get individual pieces?…

Polar f11 HRM not reading heart rate
I've had my f11 about a year. During December, there was about 5 weeks that it didn't get used. When I went to use it, the heart rate didn't show, so I figured it was the battery in the transmitter. I changed it, twice now, and sometimes it just stops sending my heart rate info. I also thought it might be that the chest…

Don't forget
For those of you using heart rate monitors, don't forget to update your user settings and recalibrate your HRM as you lose weight. I forgot and the weight was 20 lbs off, have to believe that I wasn't getting an accurate reading...

Really Stuck
Help, I'm stuck here in the same weight loss (or no loss) loop for almost 2 months now. M goal is 145 pounds, and I'm close... I weigh myself on Monday and the scale says 147, I think yay!!! I stay within my calories all week, and exercise 2 to 3 times. At least twice a week I ride my bike to the YMCA (4.3 miles) work on…

losing last 5 lbs
I am within 4 pounds (or 5 or 6 depepnding on the week) of my goal, and have been for several weeks now. On the weeks that I don't watch what I eat so closely and don't log and don't exercise enough, I seem to drop, then I go and "get back on track" logging everything, staying under my cals and exercising and the weight…

Can Strawberries be Frozen
I eat strawberries every day on my oatmeal, this summer I have enjoyed them fresh from my plants. But the crop grows lean.... I'd like to get some at the Farmer's Market, but don't eat them fast enough for those big containers. Anybody know if they can be frozen , whole or pieces, without any suagary sauce?

Disappointed...
To follow up on a previous post, I saw the Doc about the pain I've been having in my hip. The diagnosis is arthritis - in the hip and lumbar spine. The x-ray shows discernable degeneration. So, no more running for me! I had only just begun to run when the pain started. Now I'm back to walking and I can still ride my bike.…

does diet soda make you hungrier?
I had diet coke over the weekend, one 10 oz glass on Sat and Sun each, and I was absolutely starving all day long each day. Today I'm back on water only and not feeling nearly as hungry. Has anybody else noticed this?

Injury Advice
Any advice on this would be appreciated... I started MFP in late Jan and began walking and bike riding. By the end of April I wanted to ramp up my exercise a bit and began to run a little. Just a short distnace at first, and I made sure I stretched and warmed up first. By end of June I was running 1 - 1.5 miles. My…

Found a new way NOT to snack
I took a knitting class, and I am making a baby blanket for my great-nephew who is due in August. It's a great way to avoid the evening eating in front of the tv - my hands are busy and hands need to stay clean!

size 8 pants fit!!!
I am so happy. I've lost 20 lbs and was complaining that I hadn't really change pants size. So, I placed a pant order (I nead to wear talls, so I couldn't just go and try some on) and took the chance that the size 8's would fit. And they do!! I haven't worn size eight in about forever, at least since I was pregnant with my…

It's too HOT!
We're normally around 75 -80 dgrees, but yesterday and today have been 100 :explode: I can't get myself motivated to exercise today. I don't belong to a gym, I walk or bike ride. I did ride yesterday but today seems to be a bust... Suposed to be a little cooler (90's) through the weekend and then back to normal....

Question for Banks and/or all Bikers
Yesterday I posted that I had gotten a Polar F11, and how much MFP under valued the the cals burned. Today I rode my bike 12 miles in 58 mins. (that's 12.4 mph) and MFP calculates the cals burned to be 552. Now, my HRM says I burned 1,052! Is that right? I'm sort of afraid to eat those extra cals, I've been consistent at…

Is this for real??
I received a Polar F11 HRM for Mother's Day - they even let me pick it out myself. Anyway I wore it today while I cleaned houes. The normal weekly cleaning, kitchen, bathrrom, dusting, vacuum and mop. It reported that in the 1 hour and 51 min. I worked, I used 893 cals! Can this be correct?? If it is, I have been seriously…

Mother's Day Present
My girls got me the Polar F11 HRM !!! (of course Dad was footin' the bill). They even let me go shopping (on Sat) with them to pick out the exact model I wanted - but they won't let me play with it until tomorrow! And my husband encouraged me pick out a pair of hiking shoes. I can't wait until Memorial Day weekend to go…

toning and strngth training
So, yesterday I posted the question: If I have lost 20 lbs, how come I haven't changed pants size. One reply was right on target, these pants didn't really fit very well, I just refused to buy a bigger size.. More than one reply suggested toning. So my question is, are toning and strength training the same? And what should…

Pants Size
Since Jan I have lost 20 lbs, 15 here on MFP, BUT I'm still wearing the same size 12 pants - sure they are looser, but I was hoping to go down a size. Any ideas...

whoever posted about the Fiber One
Thanks now I'm addicited!!! I Love the Oats and Choc....:happy:

so, I'm 1/2 way there
I've been using MFP for just over 3 months, and have lost 13 pounds, with 12 to 13 left to go. The weight has come off slowly, a half to one pound a week. I would like to see a little faster drop, like a pound a week. I've read here in the posts that the less you have to lose and the closer you get to your goal the harder…

I just ran .6 miles
Ok, not really a lot, and had to do it in 2 sections, but I haven't ran for probably 35 years. Decided that the walking I was doing needed to be bumped up a bit. So, I asked my HS daughter - who is on the track team to "teach" me how to run. Much to both our surprises, I made it around our block twice!! So, now I'll ride…

for anyone who uses a weighted hula hoop
I am so excited, mine just came in the post yesterday!! I went with a 4 lb one (even though I've never used a weighted hoop before), and assume that it will take me a few days to buld up to any decent length of use. Anyway, those of you who use one, how do you log your exercise time?

suggestions welcome from all the women
this is completely off topic of eating, but love that diversity of topics on this site! I was wondering if any of you women out there can recommend a facial claenser and moisturizer? I have dry skin and have been using Clinque for a couple of years, but have been less than satisfied lately. I have gooten good suggestions…

just need somewhere to "complain"
and this is a great and supportive place to do it. I thought I'd been doing really well, this week, bumped up my exercise a bit - added aerobics to my walking and biking. Ate all my calories, and about half of those earned from exercising - found I wasn't as hungry on the days I worked out harder. Anyway, the blasted scale…

Recording exercise done with Fitness ball
I know this thread has been posted before, but I can't seem to find it. Looking around, it appears that a lot of you are using exercise balls... how do you log the exercise?. I (finally) found the 10 minute solution Ftiness ball exercise dvd and am using that on my off cardio days, but don't know how to log the the time…

I really do Get It
I know that I need to eat all the calories this sites calculates for me, PLUS the ones I burn during exercise - I really do get it. So here I am, today at 4 pm with over 1000 calories left to eat, even with dinner, I won't eat that much. I don't want to eat just empty calories either. Any good ideas for things to eat to…

Raw vs cooked
I bought some ground turkey (slowly converting the family away from so much beef!), It says a serving size is 4 oz, would that be precooked or after cooking? or does it not matter if I don't add anything while cooking (this may be a silly question!)
