Losing inches
I often read in magazines, or see on TV, people who claim to lose 20-30 inches. How is that number calculated? For instance, I lost 3 inches on my waist, 1 inch on my thighs, 1 inch on my calf and 1 1/4 inches on my hips. Do I add all of these together to say I lost 6.25 inches? Or are these people losing 20 inches all in…

Getting winded and building endurance
I am an ex pack a day smoker as of going on 5 years. And I have never been athletic. I can't tell if it's from the smoking, being out of shape, a combination of both, or just me, but I get out of breath easy and I get dizzy. My heart rate seems to recover quickly enough. I have had various tests over the years, so no…

Finding proper shoes
I need advice on finding appropriate shoes. I only wear a womens size 5, which is a problem. I want to start jogging. I have NO idea where to start looking for sneakers/running shoes. How do I know how much support I need or what fits and what doesn't? I am 50 and overweight and working with a personal trainer on building…

No appetite after exercise
I just started getting back into exercising. I have joined a gym and have a trainer helping me once a week. I have noticed a big decrease in my appetite on the days I exercise. (That's a good thing to a certain extent, for obvious reasons.) I'm tired and even a little nauseous. And the days when I am sitting around…

I joined a gym and I am scared to death!
Well, I made the commitment and joined a gym, and now I am scared to death! Sign up fee, etc was $99.99, plus $29.99, then there is $19.99 per month. And it is a one year contract. And I am scared to death! Part of me says "I could walk outside for free. I could do my Wii exercises for free." But my family interrupts me…

My biggest food challenge
My biggest food challenge is that late night snacking in front of the tv! I can be SO good all day, eating healthy but I sit in front of that tv and crave the junk food and carbs. The stupid commercials don't help. It is SO easy to mindlessly eat (and completely blow all of the hard work I accomplished all day!) I bought a…

Biker butt
I got a new bike and bought one of those padded seats. (That skinny little hard seat that came with the bike was a joke!) OMG, 15 minutes in and I had to walk the bike for a few minutes. It was so painful! Is it the weight? (I am 5' 1" and weigh 174 lbs). You would think with all of the extra padding it wouldn't be so bad!…

Fish Oil supplements
Is there anyone else out there taking fish oil supplements? I can't stand the taste and the burping with that fish oil taste. I am not a big fish person but I am trying to eat fish 1-2 times per week. Any suggestions for a product that does not have that fish taste? Is it even worth the bother? I am currently taking a…

Breathing
I would love to be able to jog, but I get so out of breath. I also get out of breath and light headed when I swim. Is it that I just need to keep plugging to get get better in shape, or am I breathing wrong? I quit smoking 2 1/2 years ago. As far as I know, I am healthy (clear chest xray, good stress test, etc.)

Fitbit user new to MFP
I found MyFitnessPal information on a community thread on Fitbit.com. I have been using Fitbit since Mach 2012 and I love it! So much better than my old Omron pedometer. I recently got an Android phone and had been hoping for a way to track things on the run. I am so happy to see MFP synching with my Fitbit account. Very…
