Best HRMs?
I just want something that tells me how many calories I've burned during my day! I know some days I've burned more calories than others. Like today I walked twice as much as I i normally do but I have no way of accurately tracking how much I've burned. It's frustrating at the gym not knowing how much I've burned too! So…

When to accept your body
Of course there are always things you COULD improve when it comes to your body. At what point do you accept that those things can't be changed much by exercise and dieting just because that's how you're made? Do I sound like a wuss when it comes to losing weight? I've lost over 35 pounds on my journey and I'm certainly no…

Cybex Arc Trainer Vs. Elliptical
I was looking for a new machine to switch up my daily routine. I ALWAYS go on an elliptical for 45 minutes a day doing an incline or 12 and a resistance of 8. I go pretty fast and burn about 600 calories. I wanted another high calorie burning option because sometimes it just gets boring! What are your opinions of the cybex…

For the past 2 weeks I've been running more and I'm really starting to like it! I do between 3.5 and 5 miles every time I run!

I only burn about 480 running for that amount of time going 5.8mph and sprinting at the end. Which one is a better workout? Do…

I'm a freshman in college and I've worked REALLY hard for the past 6 months! I'm finally starting to love my body again! At school I can choose what I eat and when i want to eat!

5'9.5" with 165 goal weight?
I'm not sure if this is a good goal weight or not! My wrist is 6.25 inches so I guess I have a medium frame. I have "child bearing" hips and a wide rib cage naturally though so I'm more of a medium/large frame. Is 165 a good goal weight?

best multivitamin for 19 year old girl?
I've been sleeping enough lately and eating a pretty normal amount (it's all in my diary) but I'm just so tired all of the time! My Mom suggested a multivitamin, partially because she knows that at college I'm probably not getting everything I need due to the scarce amount of healthy options. Which brand/type would be best…

Weighing myself after using the bathroom...?
I don't mean to tell people too much but I'm just confused! I always weigh myself in the morning after using the bathroom, showering, and blowdrying my hair. Well this past weekend I've been...irregular. This morning I was finally relieved. At my last weigh in earlier in the week I was 171.2lb but after this I weigh 169.6…

Which scale do I believe?
I wanted to compare the scale at my universities rec center and the scale I have in my dorm room to see if they're close. At the rec center it's a scale that's at the doctor's office where there are the 2 bars at the top. My scale is a glass top escali digital scale. After showering, using the restroom, drying my hair,…

5 pound weight loss in a week....?
I just stepped onto my scale (escali digital glass top) after showering and drying my hair. It said 170.4, so I stepped on multiple times and it all came out the same. Minutes later I stepped on again and it said 170.6 so +/- .2lb. If you look in my food diary/exercise log I haven't been doing anything crazy. Should I try…

Valentine's Day Candy
I'm 19 and away at college and my parents sent me a package with hershey's kisses, sweettart hearts, candy hearts, marshmallow hearts and a little Russell Stover box. Now I LOVE candy so this is going to be difficult to not eat it all. It's okay to eat some though, right? I've already eaten some (you can see in my diary),…

Eating healthy at College HELP!
I am trying so hard to eat well and not mess up with my diet! I do have break days, at most once a week, but eating the same thing every single day is starting to get so boring! I go to NIU where you can basically eat deep fried things or phillys, burgers, tacos, etc. I usually eat cinnamon life, spinach, and fruit. Any…
