Do you feel this way after losing weight??
I'm under 5 ft, and I have lost 27.4 pounds -- yay! But I still feel just as big at 132 pounds as I did at 160 pounds. I'm still planning to lose at least another 12 pounds, but I'm just wondering how long it takes your mind to catch up with your body. I know I'm not skinny yet, but shouldn't I feel skinner at this point?…

Help me!! HRM for a petite woman?
My amazing husband surprised me with a Timex HRM the other day, but after running with it I found that the calories burned were completely inaccurate. For example, Runkeeper and MFP said I burned around 400 calories, and my HRM said I burned well over 1,000 calories. While I would love to believe I burned that many…

WANTED: Squat Advice
I love doing squats, and I think they're super beneficial. Unfortunately, I'm horrible at breathing while doing them. I get dizzy and nauseous. I would really like to increase the weight I'm using to lift heavier, but I'm nervous that I'll pass out or vomit (TMI sorry! lol). Does anyone else struggle to breath properly…

Fat burners?
Hi -- I'm just curious how you guys feel about taking a fat burner. My husband used to use them while he was on deployments to get nice and cut after bulking up. He said he felt like they gave awesome results. I was just wondering if any of you have tried them. I am definitely exercising and eating a good diet, but I'm…

Help! -- How do I log this?
I'm a substitute teacher, so I don't work everyday of the week. When I do work I feel like I should be able to log that I've been doing some sort of exercise. For example, yesterday I taught a class of 28 third graders -- I was EXHAUSTED when I got home. I must've burned calories while I was working, but I have no idea how…
