app for iphone for exercise
I installed the app Endomondo on my phone and really liked it. It measured my time spent walking ,calories burned and distance.The bad thing was that it used up so much of my data package that I won't be able to use it. I had always had plenty of data and no problem at all. I only used it 4 or 5 times and did not realize…

how do you gauge speed on dvd's
I have several Leslie Sansone dvd's and really enjoy them. But, I don't know if I'm gauging the right speed on them. Does anyone know how to do that. I don't want to put my speed at 4 m.p.h and it not be that much. I wondered if it tells somewhere on the dvd that I hadn't noticed. Thanks

Do you have a cheat night?
Friday nights have always been our eat out night. I love the way MFP gives extra calories for working out. It makes me be able to cheat and get the fried catfish fillets. I still try and eat rather healthy. The baked potato without butter, no hushpuppies, ketsup instead of tartar sauce. That's the only night I have fried…

missing my bread
Oh me, I miss my bread. I love to make homemade wheat bread but I'm sure it has a lot of things I don't need. I usually make it half wheat and half white. Even the bought bread has more calories and sodium than I thought. Do you get used to not eating as much of the good stuff???
