considering a gym membership
Yes or no? I want to start lifting and I lack the equipment at home. I am toying with the idea of joining the gym. I have no clue where to start if I do go. I'm worried about not knowing what to do when I get there and proper form and stuff. So do I need a Trainer? For a short time?

HRM Bluetooth strap or not?
I'm in the market for a HRM. I'm looking at the polar ft4 or just getting a bluetooth strap that links with my phone. In my technical head, bluetooth only because it seems like it would simplify the process linking directly to my app. On the other hand if I don't have my phone on me, or the battery is dead or whatever I…

Medications and weight loss

I'm currently taking blood pressure medication and I'm hoping that after I lose a little more weight I may be able to get off them. I'm haven't really been keeping my Dr. up to date on the fact that I'm trying to lose weight. She suggested it…

I made the diet soda mistake
I was tired of drinking my calories and "needed" caffeine. Well, I switched to diet/and low cal sodas about a month ago. Then about 2 weeks ago started to notice light vertigo, the past week it's been worse. I also have GAD so I naturally started to freak out about my vertigo. I think I'm dying of a brain tumor. Yes I just…

20 or 25% calorie reduction?
I don't know which to pick. I'm on the scooby calculator. I'm trying to figure my calories better. I don't know which calc to use, this one was suggested to me, if I do this calc do I have to figure my macros every day. That seems like so much! LOL I can give my stats if anyone wants to help? I'm 29, 5ft 4, 224lbs, female,…

Ok, so I know I'm expecting too much. I started like 2 weeks ago now. About 12 days ago I got serious. I lost 3lbs in the first week when I joined MFP.

Last Chance Workout
Anyone use this DVD? I started it 2 days ago after trying out Jillians 30 day Shred, and Biggest Loser Bootcamp. I like all the DVD's but I think I'll be sticking with the Last Chance workout. I like how you change things up. How would one go about figuring out how many calories I've burned doing the DVD? I want to be…
