Yogalosophy?
I just recently heard about this... has anyone tried it and gotten any results? I'm a big fan of yoga so I'm thinking I'll enjoy the yogalosphy dvd. It says that it combines typical yoga with strengthening moves. Those who have it- how long is the workout? I know it'll never replace good old cardio, but I'm curious about…

Hello! Question...
What do you guys think about calculating daily activity without exercise and then still eating exercise calories back? I only exercise about three days a week. It seems like that'd be the best way to do it when we're using MFP. I fully get that MFP underestimates your calorie goal- I rose mine up to 1600 a day a month and…

What are your favorite cardio kickboxing dvds?
I'm a huge cardio kickboxing fan! I've currently got six dvds I rotate through- wondering if I'm missing out on any amazing other cardio kickboxing dvds out there! The better the music, the more energetic the trainer the better! Its silly but all that kicking and punching just makes me feel great! Here are mine: Michelle…

Half way there- work in progress but 20lbs down!! (pics)
I've been working so hard for a whole year now to eat healthier (i'm an everything-in-moderation believer) and exercise often and I finally just today reached 20lbs down! I'm about 2/3rds to my original goal of 145lbs and then i'll see how I feel from there. Since March 2011 I've lost 20lbs (174lbs in first pics) and 7.5…

Still a work in progress but I think it's time for a reward for finally hitting the 20lbs down mark!! Here's my gift to me: a new belly ring…

Any 2008 or 2008 Toyota Corolla LE, XLE or S owners out ther
Oops. Just realized I mistyped the title... 2008 or 2009! So, I'm in the search for a new used car. I've currently got a toyota celica and am pretty sure I want another toyota because they're trustworthy. I like the 2008-2009 Corolla and it's within my price range monthly payment-wise after my downpayment. Any opinions on…

Question about nuts for those of you who've found success al
I'm curious if there are people out there who've lost their desired weight and ate nuts every day? I've been eating an ounce a day (weighing them out, usually pistachios w/o shells or almonds). They're so high in fat but it's good fat so I figure as long as I staying within my daily fat allotment... it'll only help my…

What are your favorite seasonings to put on roasted chick pe
So i'm adding chick peas/garbanzo beans to my diet- to add to salads, add to dinner etc. I read on google about making roasted chick peas and apparently they come out crunchy and wonderful! I'm definitely going to try that out once my pot of chick peas is cooked and cooled. What are your favorite seasonings to add? I'm…

What should I write on the back of my ugly christmas sweater
My work is having an ugly christmas sweater contest tomorrow. I couldn't find one in a thrift store like I thought I would- I guess they were cleaned out! Nothing good left. I got lucky though; I got a regular red sweater and glued things to it; tacky gold garland around the bottom hem of the sweater and the hem of the…

opinions wanted: Gaiam 3.0 Heart rate monitor?
Any opinions on the Gaiam 3.0 heart rate monitor? I'm just trying to find a basic one to use while doing my dvd exercises- they're so hard to categorize with MFP. This one retails $109.99 but there's a seller on ebay selling new ones (has a lot of ten) for $51.98 with $5 shipping and 7 days return policy. Whatdya think? I…

Cheap Halloween costume ideas?
I'm terrible at thinking up creative costume ideas and I hate paying crazy amounts for the pre-packaged costumes. Ideas? The best/easiest I've read so far is to go as a rock- grey pants and grey shirt, grey face paint and silver/grey hair spray "i'm a rock!"... lol... which would get funnier and funnier the drunker people…

Cheddar Bay Biscuits (ok, not healthy... but not TOO bad! ma
I've never found a decent recipe for cheddar bay biscuits, always disappointed how un-spiced and blah they are. So after some sleuthing and one bad try I finally arrived here at a great recipe! They're not exactly the same as the ones from red lobster but are really similar! I don't like Bay seasoning much, so I just used…

a machine that stimulates your period and cramps??! crazy!!
yes, it's true. This was too good not to share. While buzzing around the internet on my down time I found this crazy article about an artist in japan that's created a machine that stimulates menstruation and has electrodes for cramps. OH MY GOSH, WHHYYYY???!! haha. You have to go to the website and watch the video to get…

Miles walked = calories burned?
I have a job where it's hard to choose one activity level. One day I'm at my desk and sedentary 75% of the time, the next i'll be up out of my chair 75% of the time. When I first started MFP I chose "lightly active" and wasn't really losing much. I changed this to "sedentary" a couple of months ago and my weight loss speed…

I had an NSVeeeee!!
Well, I did a whole yoga routine today for the first time in a couple of months and there were two poses I was able to do right because I've lost some belly, butt and thigh fat! I used to just have to do the closest I could, go where the chub would let me. The poses were: the sitting spinal twist where both legs are bent,…

Favorite/best cardio dvds?
I DID search this topic and it hasn't been brought up in a few months- plus the last post only got a few replies. I'm looking for an additional cardio dvd or two. I'm doing the Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis but I have to admit, I hate the the dance cardio. I'm still doing a half hour of her muscle toning six days a week but…

any other Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis fans out there?
I JUST bought the new set off of qvc!! I CANT WAIT TO GET IT!!! I've been doing her mat dvd for about a month, noticed subtle changes in some key areas (like my rear and love handles, yay!) and definitely just feel stronger over all. I know she has a lack of instructional cues (which frusterated me for the first week or…

does anyone do tracy anderson's mat workout?
I recently purchased Tracy Anderson's mat workout from 2008 after catching her informercial for her new program (which I'm too cheap to buy so I thought I'd try something older from her to see if I want to try ebaying for a cheaper copy of the new stuff!) and I've only done it once but I freakin loved it! It did as she…

not sure if I should log my pedometer steps as exercise?
I set my activity level as "lightly active" because I'm a busy medical assistant in a clinic so I'm walking around getting things and patients 75% of my day. I recently got a pedometer to see how many steps I'm taking in a day.... but now I'm wondering how active does MFP consider "lightly active"? By the end of my average…

weight lifting first of cardio first?
Anyone know for sure which is better to do first- weight lifting or cardio? I tend to do weights after cardio as a cool down-ish kinda thing. I recently read on a previous topic that you can log weights under the cardio section as "strength training"- had no idea! I was so frusterated that it wasn't counting calories…

body fat percentage calculator
Has anyone else tried the body fat percentage calculator at http://www.healthcentral.com/cholesterol/home-body-fat-test-2774-143.html? I'm wondering how acurate it is. I was thinking maybe someone who KNOWS what theirs is could go to the site and compare? I don't have any of the home devices or belong to a gym or anything…
