Trainer: Yay or nay?
Hello! So, I just switched gyms, from the YMCA to LA Fitness. I received my free training assessment and of course the trainer kicked my butt. He tried to get me to get a training package, and you know, for my weight, height and body fat percentage (169 lbs, 5'4", and 34%) I really am considering it, especially at my age…

Crazy training idea
So I have an indoor triathlon in a month (10 minute swim, 30 minute bike, 20 minute run), and next week I am starting my 12-week half marathon plan for a race on April 28. (First half.) I want to look toned, too, as I try to lose weight. Here is my tentative training until my Feb. 23 race: Monday: short run (3-5 miles) &…

Yes, another HRM question
I did a quick search before asking this, and I didn't find any topics started. Went to the gym today, ran for 31 minutes. My heart rate average was between 160 and 175 bpm. (I am 26, 5'4" and 159 pounds.) I just got back into running, so it is difficult for me to run right now, but doable. The treadmill reads 300 calories,…

Calories in, calories out help

That was a silly request if you ask me, but I guess the forum police "know" what is right. Anyway ... I have been trying to lose weight, but having a hard time. I am…

Ume plum vinegar problems
So, I heard about ume plum vinegar over and over in my clean eating books. I finally broke down and got some, and added a few splashes to my kale and beans. I am having MEGA stomach cramps right now. Anyone else have these problems?

Farming: How many calories burned?
Tomorrow I start my 4 hours of farming for my CSA. I do it once a week, and really it is 3.5 hours (210 minutes) with a half-hour break. We are on our feet or knees the whole time. Sometimes it is just standing in the green house, planting seeds. Sometimes it is weeding, etc. And sometimes it is planting in the field. I…

Just joined -- I'm a vegan
Hello! I just joined this because I noticed my vegan diet isn't helping me lose weight! I didn't go vegan for that reason (if you want to know why, message me. I'm on year 2 of this lifestyle.) But I noticed a significant weight gain this past winter, when I slipped into a minor depression. I want to lose weight now, and…
