Yet another HRM question...
Sorry for the repeats I tried searching but couldn't seem to find what I'm looking for. I've never used one before, but I'm looking to buy a heart rate monitor. I would be using it mostly for walking and spurts of running, and I'm really just aiming for a pretty accurate measure of calories burned. I would also like the…

1 year progress (with pics!)
Hello all! So the other day I was feeling kinda down about my weight loss. I feel like I've been working towards weight loss for years now and sometimes I just feel like I'm moving at a snails pace. BUT alas, I found my before pic and decided to take an after pic to check for any differences. I feel pretty good about it!…

Time for a good ol' fashioned rant!
It drives me CRAZY that people who want/choose to eat organically and locally or want to know their farmers or choose not to eat processed foods are considered pretentious hippies. I'm not saying I eat like this all the time or even half the time. I DO NOT tell people they need to eat this way. I do not condemn processed…

Question about dinner...
What do you do when its 3:30 and you only have like 200 calories left for the day?? I'm on homework crunch and don't really have time to workout today (maybe tomorrow night) Do I eat a normal dinner and take the hit? or do I keep to 200 - 300 cals max and suck it up?

Anyone had success with a chiropractor?
I'm certainly not looking to stir the pot (people seem to feel one way or the other about them), I just always feel out of whack, my posture is horrible and I just feel like a need a reset. However, I've only ever heard negative things about chiropractors and I've never been to one. I've heard to see any results you have…

Is there a wrong way to run?
Hi all, I've done some running in the past, so I'm not a newbie, but I'm also not a real "runner" yet. I feel like I'm always doing it wrong, I'm never really comfortable and my hip always feels out of place afterwards. I know its hard to tell if you don't see me running, but do you have any general tips for good running…

How do you start an exercise habit?
Hi all I'm hoping you guys can help me, I have tried the "just do it" route, but it hasn't really been useful for me. How do you guys build up from not exercising regularly to making a good habit of it? I did bootcamp in the summer for 3 months and saw some great results, but it was too expensive for me. After the classes…

Help please!
Hi everyone! I have been working out a lot more than I have in the past (for about a month now), with a strong emphasis on legs (as they are larger muscle groups). So many squats and lunges later, I'm finding my knee joints are very sore! (i'm only 25 and have never had problems with my knees in the past), so I thought I…

Foodist
Hi all, I''m not affiliated with this book at all, and I'm hoping it's kosher to post this. But I just picked up a great book called Foodist, its kind of the ant-dieting - change-your-life-forever-not-just-to-get-into-a-bikini type of book. Anyways I'm finding it very interesting and very legit - backed up by science. The…

exercise doesn't mean you can eat crap, help!
Well, my boyfriend and I are both trying to lose weight. He has been going for about a 5k walk, 5 nights a week. Which is really great for him and a lot more than he was doing before. But I've noticed since then he's really let his eating habits go. And while he has lost some weight, it has slowed significantly, I tried…
