Will this get me started??
So I have been searching through CL to find some stuff for at home lifting. Getting to a gym is not an option for me and I want to start lifting. After doing research it seems like light reps/lifting heavy is the best way to go(correct me if I am wrong in this thinking). I found this set on CL and it seems like a good…

lifting weights at home
I am going to add weight lifting(or at least try) into my daily routine at home. What weight would you suggest I use to start and how many different weights do I need. If a few which weights would you recommend for someone starting off?

Are they just lucky?
I always wondered about tiny/skinny people who can eat whatever they want and not gain an ounce. I understand in this world(mfp) that cals in being less than cals out makes you lose weight, doesn't matter how that happens really...it's just the science of it. But what about someone who eats whatever they want....say pizza,…

I know I am probably being silly
I took the advice of some people yesterday and changed my stats on the MFP calculator today. I changed my status from sedentary to slightly active(I have three children under 6 and stay at home with them so I am rarely sitting down), and I try to do C25K three times a week too but I can't always guarantee that. Anyway, I…

Is it to low?
Do you think 1200 cals is to low for someone who doesn't exercise much, and is trying to lose a pound to a pound and a half a week?

Small NSV
Ok, so I was trying to wait to post here until I hit my goal(have about 29 pounds to go to hit my first goal) so I could share my entire story. But I am just to excited not to share. Today I got on the scale to FINALLY see 179 pounds. That 17 was a happy moment. Sure the numbers aren't that important but they sure do help…

Should I do it over?
I started the C25K program last week. I got through week one ok. I was still breathing hard through my running sets but I got through them and didn't need to stop. I started week two today and really struggled. I got through it and didn't stop my running but I was breathing so hard and barely able to keep going my legs…

Am I crazy??
Or does it seem the more water you drink....the more you NEED to drink? Ok, here's what I mean. I used to not drink water that much if at all, hated the stuff. I drank soda(yuck I know!) but even then I didn't drink that much oz wise per day. Once I started working towards a healthier life I upped the water intake and cut…

Do you use MFP's calculator?
To determine how many cals you are eating each day, do you use MFP's calculator based on the stats you put in or do you have another calc./site you choose to use? I find that 1200 cals seems to be the average given by the calculator on MFP and I don't know if that's just a normal number for a lot of people or that's just…

Does this seem like a good routine?
I am getting ready to start week two day one of C25K. I have decided to get a set workout routine going to follow. I am feeling better and feel like I can finally commit to it. I was thinking 4 days of cardio(three of these days would be C25K, the other day would just be some high intensity workout like Zumba for an hour…

Running shoes
Best brand? I need somewhat affordable, light/airy, comfortable(obviously), and good for trail running as well as blacktop. I have a cheap crappy pair of FILA's and they are killing my feet especially my toes. :(

Which app do you use?
What phone app did you use when you started C25K? I am starting today and want to download an easy to understand app to help me do it. I am determined to succeed :) . I have an IPOD and android phone so I can download apps to either of those. Thanks!

Talk to me about HRM's
Could someone recommend a good but affordable heart rate monitor? I am wanting to get one to wear all the time so I can just see how many cals I burn on an average day instead of wondering. :) Thanks for any help.

Back at it!! New here.
I did weight watchers for 11 months and lost 98 pounds. 2 pounds shy of my first real goal. 250 down to 150. Anyway, I found out I was pregnant with our third child and fell off of eating healthy thinking "Well, I am pregnant, I can eat what I want". WRONG! I gained a lot back and after having my son I weighed in at 210…
