Netflix Fitness Videos
What are your favorites? I am most interested in dance videos, but I'm open to all suggestions. I'm looking to vary my routine. Thanks for your input. :wink:

Just out of curiosity ...
Would you ever eat food off of a food truck? If not, why not? I consider myself to be a bit of a foodie, and next year when my kids are in school full-time, I'd like to make some significant strides in owning my own food business. Food trucks are all the rage in some parts of the country, but not so much where I live in…

Sooo ... along with trimming my waistline ...
DH and I have decided to trim our budget and get out of debt, as well. Anyone here do the Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey? Also, anyone use a meal-planning service like e-meals? I figured meal planning is a part of losing weight, why not do it for a week or two at a time.

Generally speaking ...
I know everyone is different, but what is an appropriate amount of daily sugar intake? I find that I go over my sugar so frequently, without going over my fat, carbs or calories, or anything else on most days. Some of it is just plain ol' chocolate, but that isn't the cause every day. I try to stay away from a lot of…

To all you fitness gurus ... can you help?
I bought a new polar HRM and have been using it while I work out on our elliptical. I did the resting HR, (mine was 85-ish the few times I tried it out.) I did the formula to figure my target heart range, (148-168 is what I got for a range) and today while I was working out, I went over the top # several times and kept…

I am happily surprised!
Today is 10 weeks since I began my weight loss journey. Three weeks into it, I went to my doctor with pretty bad foot pain, and was told to stop high-impact aerobic activity because my achilles tendon was severely inflamed. I was SO discouraged, because at that point, I had lost 11 lbs. I thought for sure that without…

Cool iPhone/iPad app!
It's Time to Fooducate Yourself! On the surface, food shopping isn't all that difficult. Stroll the aisles, put stuff in your cart and pay. (And maybe grab a free sample along the way.) But without a nutrition expert by your side, how do you know you're making the best choices? Fortunately, there's an app for that. With…

WAHOO!!! My bra strap isn't rolling over anymore!!
Sooo happy! This morning I put on a bra that was kind of bordering on tight before, and everytime I wore it, the band that hooks and goes around my rib cage would roll up on the bottom and roll down on the top. Along with my shirts being on the tight side sometimes, it made for a most unpleasant look. When I put my bra on…

I need to get out of this FUNK!
So a couple of weeks ago, my Dr.strongly suggested that I stop doing the high-impact aerobics I was doing because I have achilles tendonitis - a highly inflamed achilles tendon. Ouch! So, I was pretty bummed and annoyed because I wasn't really intending to join a gym, but that's most likely where I'll find the low-impact…

Not being funny ...
When you throw up, do you count any calories? I have been really sick since Friday and, until today, I haven't eaten much, but I haven't had any problems keeping food down. I ate a little bit today, but just got sick. Do I just not count that stuff? I don't suppose it really matters, I haven't been anywhere near my calorie…

Feel like the wind has been taken out of my sails ...
I went to the Dr. today for, what I was hoping would be, a cortisone shot in my left heel to help with this excruciating pain I've been having. I was diagnosed with a heel spur a few years back and was told it was from plantar fasciitis. So I've been doing everything I thought was going to help with PF, including…

Only three weeks and I've noticed I can ...
* I can do 10 leg raises without stopping (when I started, I could barely do 1 and I had to rest before I did another one) * I can do 35 minutes of kick-*kitten* cardio without needing my inhaler * I am full and satisfied on my daily calorie goal (maybe time to change it?) * I can tie my shoes without discomfort and…

Off Topic - Law Enforcement Deaths
As the wife of a police officer (and having worked as a police dispatcher for 8+ years,) I am always saddened when I hear about a line of duty death of a police officer. But the last week, especially the last 24 hours, have been downright shocking. A shootout in my hometown of St. Petersburg, this morning, 2 officers…

Only for the ladies ...
So ... when you first started exercising, was "Aunt Flo" kind of late? I have heard this is common. Literally, the only time I've ever been late more than a day, I've been pregnant. I'm going on 4 days late tomorrow. I know it's personal, but if anyone could share their experience, I'd appreciate it. It would make me feel…

Achilles Tendonitis/Bone Spur/Plantar Fasciitis - OUCH!
I was diagnosed with a bone spur/plantar fasciitis ages ago, but now I think I may have achilles tendonitis or a combination of things. I have excruciating pain about 1.5 inches above the heel of my foot when I walk, or when I'm wearing any shoes other than my sneakers. It even hurts for a few minutes after putting my…

I was craving a COKE and now that I have it, I don't want to
That was one of the hardest things I gave up when I decided to change my eating habits. I don't drink coffee or tea, so a coke - usually only one a day - sometimes one every few days - was a caffeine boost for me, and something I enjoyed. I have diet coke in my house and have had 1 or 2 in the last couple of weeks, but I'm…

EA Sports Fitness on PS3 - Anyone have this?
I just joined MFP on Monday and started my workouts with EA Sports for the PS3 yesterday. I'd love to find a workout partner. Would anyone care to join me on there? I'm not sure how to do it yet, but I know it's an option. Thanks! Bridget

Thanks for the motivation and support MFP!
I've only been on this site for a week, but I've dropped 4.5 lbs and have been feeling really great. Today, I ALMOST fell into my old snacking habits because I was hungry (ok, starving!) even after I'd had lunch and a snack. I haven't really had that problem until today, so I jumped on here and looked at my progress so…

I'm new to MFP and I'm excited! Also dreading the exercise!
I definitely know that I don't want to let myself down, but I would rather eat 500 calories a day than work out. I am hoping I'll get to the point that I don't hate it so, but, being honest with myself, I know it's a little ways off. I received an EA Sports workout dealy for Christmas. I finally got to do it today and it…
