Exercise, Does It Matter?
When it comes to exercise, does it matter HOW you get your time in? For instance, if you work out for an hour a day, does it matter if it's done all in the same hour or if it's split into 4 - 15 minute incrimints? Just curious...

Need A Butt!
There's a lot of me, for sure, but nothing on the rear side! My butt is SO flat that seriously all my pants look HORRIBLE! Have you tried a particular workout dvd specifically for that area and had good results?

Going To The Grocery Store...
I'm going to the grocery store tonight and I'm wondering, what do you get when you go shopping that helps you stay within your calories every day? What's a mandatory item(s) you buy when you go?

Compromise
My husband, like most men who don't struggle with their weight, prefers any kind of food that's unhealthy and is automatically turned off when I mention anything "healthy". I'm the one who cooks in my household and I find myself all too often settling with what he wants for dinner because I can't stand making two seperate…

Working It In...
I really need some advice. I work a full time job (7 AM - 5 PM) and I have 3 kids, all 2 years and under. My life is crazy hectic! I workout on my lunch breaks, but because I love food, it doesn't seem to be enough. I tried the 30 Day Shred and was doing it after my kids went to bed (did it for 5 nights straight), but it's…

To Measure Or Not To Measure...
I am starting the 30 Day Shred today. I wasn't planning on taking pics or measurements, but going off of weight and the way I feel. However, I'm starting to wonder if I should take "Before Shred" pictures and measurements and after ones... what's your opinion and why?

WTF?!? App Vs. Online
I use the MFP App when I'm home and the online program while I'm at work... Last night, the app told me that I was under my calorie goal. I just looked at yesterday's and online it says that I was over 125 calories!! WTF?!?! I'm really doing my best here and it's hard enough as it is for me... why is the App trying to…

2 Stomachs! YIKES!
Anyone else have (or have had) the 2 stomach issue? I call the top one my "upper belly" and the bottom one my "lower belly". It's disgusting and I hate it! :sick: How can I get rid of it? Any good exercises for that? I'd like to have just one belly again... :frown:

Workout DVD Suggestions?
I'm looking for a workout dvd that's low impact. I already do Zumba 3 times a week and line dancing & kickboxing once a week, so I'm looking for something to do at home in the evenings after the munchkins go to bed. I have shin splints, along with wrist problems and minor back troubles and I'm looking for something that…

How Often Do You Do Measurements?
I'm new to the measurement thing. I've seen lots of questions about how often you should weigh in, but have yet to see one about how often to measure... Opinions?

Quick!! Going To Zumba Class...
I walk to my Zumba class. I was wondering if I should turn my heart rate monitor on before my walk to the class, even though I'm sure I don't even get into my "zone" before I get there... Same question about the walk back.

NSF (Non Scale Failure)
Yesterday we had a little family get together with my husband's family. I love his grandma to pieces, but I overheard her tell my mother-in-law "Come here and look at this..." and when I looked over, they were looking at me. I said, 'what's up?' and she got all jittery and was like, "Oh it was just your shirt and the way…

Weighing In
How often do you weigh in? I used to hardly ever weigh because I was kind of afraid of the scale... now it seems like I'm obsessed with it! Not because I like the number I see (at all), but because of the hope of another lost pound. Just wanted to get a general idea of what everyone else is doing. Thanks!

HELP!
CRAP! Going to a potluck/movie night with a bunch of people at a friend's house! I'm crazy worried about staying on my diet since I really want to do good and no one there is trying to lose weight! Should I bring my own food? Would that look bad since no one else would have the option of the same things?

Heart Rate Monitor For Water?
I'm looking for a good heart rate monitor that's not extremely expensive, but greatly accurate, that you can use in the water... I'm going to try and add swimming to my list of exercises. I'm particularly drawn to the Polar ones, but have yet to find one useable in the pool... Anyone know of a good one? Thanks!

Please Pray!
All of my friends, please pray for this family and this little baby boy!! He's only 6 months old and one of a set of triplets. He was fine and then all of a sudden stopped breathing in his crib. Even with all the CPR, it took a while to get his heartbeat back and things weren't looking good. They are warming him now after…

Home Workouts
I do most of my workouts on my lunch breaks. I do fitness classes 45 minutes per day / 4 days per week. I'm looking to add more at home. However, I have 3 kids, all under the age of 2 years old. They are ALWAYS under my feet and exercising is almost completely impossible, once I get home from work, make dinner, feed the…

"Comfort Blanket"
What is your "comfort blanket" so to speak with regards to your weight? What makes you feel more "safe" with yourself while being around people? For me, and I just figured this out today like a lightbulb switching on, it's my sweatshirt. I always wear it, even in the summer. And when I don't have it, I may as well be…

Discouraged Rant
I'm ready to give up. I really try, but I can't control my portion sizes because I get so hungry! I feel like I'm always hungry and sore from working out... plus, people (co-workers mainly) are tired of me *****ing about my soreness because "she doesn't HAVE to do that!" (exercise). I exercise on my lunch breaks. I've got…

Portion Control Problems
I have HUGE portion control problems... I just can't seem to get a grip on it. A serving size isn't enough for me and MY serving sizes are absolutely ridiculous! I'm getting extremely discouraged. Anyone have any good ideas about how to control portions?
