Disneyland
I'm going to Disneyland in a few weeks, and I'm wondering if anyone my size has experience with the rides, specifically Space Mountain. I found a site that discusses being heavy at the Disney parks, but it focuses on Disney World in Florida. Space Mountain's cars are different at the one in Disneyland (the seats are…

Fitbit - Negative Calories - Help?
I usually sync Fitbit for the last time around 11:30 PM and then check MFP to make sure I was within my range. It will say something like 20 calories left for the day or maybe I'm 30 over. No big deal. Then, when I get up in the morning, it shows I was over by something like 400. Eek! I sync every couple hours just to make…

NSV: Fat Girl Does C25K - in Public!
Yesterday, I decided to start C25K. I weigh 296 pounds, and while I don't mind walking around my neighborhood, I wasn't sure about actually jogging.

Turbo Jam vs. Turbo Fire
I've been doing Turbo Jam for about a year, and I LOVE the "Cardio Party" mixes. As I've lost weight, I've been doing more moves and increasing my speed. 45 minutes used to feel like death, but now I feel powerful and energized when I finish. :) I still don't feel comfortable jumping because of my feet and knees, though,…

My A1C was 6.1 last year (pre-diabetic), and I've lost nearly 60 pounds since then. I'm hoping the weight loss and Metformin will…

Exercising to Help Glucose Levels?
My doctor told me I would need to exercise for at least 30 minutes 5-6 days per week to help keep my glucose levels in check. I'm on metformin and progesterone for PCOS with insulin resistance. Since I already exercise, I didn't think to ask him why exercise would be beneficial as far as glucose is concerned. I just nodded…

Anyone start when they were close to 300 pounds?
I just started C25K last night. Week 1 Day 1 is complete. :) I was really, really surprised and pleased with myself. I was able to run all of the running portions and used the walk portions to recover. I found the timing was perfect. By the time it said "run", I was ready to run, and just when I felt like I was going to…
