slow walking co-worker
Advice on how to ditch my cubicle mate at the end of the day - we leave the office at the same time? I have a awesome 'mini' work out built into my day walking to and from the train station (it's just shy of a mile each way). My cube mate leaves with me and walks about 4 blocks with me before we go our separate ways. The…

Bored at work and I want to eat
So far staying strong...ate all the healthy essentials and the lousy 2 pieces of Werther's Hard Candies that I allow myself if I have a sweet tooth (log them of course). But I'm just in the mood to curl up in bed with my kitty cats and a good book and eat! Argh. No need for a response...I'm just whining into cyber space…

The Search Function of MFP
Although it's always great to have a 'live' chat and keep the threads fresh with more current information, another useful tool is the search function.

any almost vegetarians out there?
Lol - my mind has just flashed to a scene in My Big Fat Greek Wedding where Toula's Aunt says 'He don't eat meat!?!?!? What do you mean he don't eat meat!!!" Anyway - I am not much of a meat eater. It has nothing to do with PETA (although I am a animal lover) but I just never really acquired a taste for meat. And of the…

Post a random rant
This is totally unrelated to fitness but I have to let it out somehow and this will save me money on therapy:))))))) My obnoxious co-worker with whom I share a work station with - she never stops talking!

Thoughts, opinions, reviews on 30 Day Shred?
Hi All, Since this seems to be a popular work out I decided to give 30DS on try. Level One is a free download via my On Demand cable so I figured what the heck. So far I've completed 2 days in a row, it's challenging for sure, but I made it through! I'm pretty sore today but It's my understanding that you do level one 10…

Has anyone come across any good pedometer apps for the iPhone? I bought a pedometer/heart rate monitor and the band is too big so I passed it onto my boyfriend. Until I can find one that fits properly (I have super small wrists) I was wondering if there any any apps out there that actually work????

Mean Girl Comment
We all have to have our moments - and mine is now. Why is it that I see in some people's posts that they seem to be burning an outrageous unbelievable number of calories everyday - and they're still.....large.

In addition to my regular work out, I do a lot of walking through out the day that I like to log in as I complete it - a mile walk to work and then another mile back to the train station.

How much is too much!?!?!?!?!
I've been seeing a lot of posts from people who are doing like 2+ hours of cardio in one day! Is it me or is this excessive?! I was always of the mind set that 45 to 60 minutes of a good cardio burn is enough. Maybe I'm just a slacker lol. But quite frankly I just don't have time in my day for 2+ hours of a work out…
