Anyone use Lifetime Fitness?
I'm getting a price request from them right now because I just want to mix up my workouts with more group fitness, tennis and a bigger array of workout machines. The one I'm looking at's in Austin, TX. Does anyone have any info they can offer me about this gym, OR have any other suggestions to other gyms that may be better…

Why does drinking alot of water make me feel nauseous?
I'm just at my 8 cup mark, and I'm beginning to feel nauseous. This isn't the first time, either; I just happened to remember that it did this to me, so I thought I'd see if someone knew the cause. What usually happens is that I start feeling weird stomach-wise and my head begins to hurt as well. It's just plain water from…

Is 150lbs still too heavy for a 5'4" person?
I know I'm insanely huge right now (considering my height.. :/ ), but I set my goal weight to be 150; currently 82 pounds lighter than I am right now. I had originally had set it to 132; 100 pounds lighter, but forgive me for thinking that was a little too unrealistic. I honestly don't want to pressure myself into thinking…

Starting weight when beginning Insanity?
I'm really interested in this program, and am on the heavier side of the spectrum. Although it looks terrifying, I am prepared to this [or at least try my hardest!], BUT would like to know that I'm not alone when starting this workout program. I currently weigh 226. How much did you weigh when starting Insanity?

Working out at work!
Sometimes I like to workout at work. I have a whole bookstore to myself with no windows and a solid door, so it's nice and private when I dont have to open yet! I can get to work early AND get my little aerobic workouts done! Yay! Downside is, no shower facilities. I've never been a HUGE sweater but I'm paranoid about BO.…

Yoga for big girls like me~
SO i tried yoga for the first time this weekend, and I'm no small chick, I'm 200+ pounds. So when I did a 10 minute beginner video on netflix, I managed to get into each position and hold it, but afterwards, the heels of my hands were KILLING me. Is this normal, or is it due to my size, and if it IS normal, does it get…

Stress & weightloss.
I'm a stressed out person, 24/7 it seems like. My back is always tense, my shoulders and neck as well from holding myself so tense all the time. I think I realize that I really have no idea how to just... RELAX. And I'm too damn ashamed to get a professional massage because of back fat/stretch marks. :s So what I'd like to…

Is it logical to do Ab Ripper when..
..I'm trying to get rid of the BULK of where my weight sits; my torso,by doing P90X Ab ripper along with cardio [elliptical + stationary bike] in the mornings? Just a random thought about my current workout plan that I'm hoping will get me back on track to lose the major problem areas, since I haven't lost any weight in a…

Breaking down & posting in this section for support.
I started out at 250, now at 231 after giving up soda alone. I'm 5'4 and 23 years young with plantar fasciitis in my left foot. I'm at a standstill. I really oddly don't eat badly [cheeseburgers, chinese food or anything extreme], BUT dessert is sometimes my Achilles's heel. For years, I've worked out off and on but…

What odd thing has your pet done?
I have a russian blue that plays fetch. Honestly, you throw something like a hair tie or a straw, she will trot her fat self off and bring it back. She has also fetched a wrapped condom before. :blushing:

Elliptical workouts - HIIT maybe?
So I've switched over from the treadmill to the elliptical, due to my right foot pain, possibly due to plantar, but undiagnosed. Anyways, I happened to hear someone talk about 'HIIT' while using the elliptical, so I'm interested. Anyone care to elaborate for me? Also, any other elliptical tactics you use to get maximum…

Does anyone combine using Weight Watchers along with this si
I'm contemplating joining Weight Watchers, but still find this site to be a helpful tool. I have my own reasons for joining a corporate company versus doing it for free ( I know, I know..), so just let my reasons be, please. I'm simply just curious if anyone else out there on this site is on the same boat that I am…

How soon did you see results from elliptical?
I'm a big girl with a small frame; 5'4" and 230 something lbs. :/ I've tried running but my poor feet are shot from my bad body figure, so I'm switching to the elliptical until I let up on the feet strain. Of course, I plan to stay within my allotted daily calories and work out the majority of the week, if not every day…

5'4" @ 230 lbs - feet problems
As you can see, my height/weight ratio is all kinds of wrong, and I'm only 23. Do my pained feet stem from this? I know it seems like a pretty obvious DUH, but I want to know if anyone that weighs in my range or higher if they experience the same issue, and what kinds of workouts they manage.

Grocery timeeee!
What kinds of foods do you guys usually aim for when grocery shopping? In my mind, I had it panned out to think that crackers and cheese was the ideal snack ( I work long hours and need snacks between breakfast and my 2:30pm lunch :/ ) when watching cals, but then I was told I was actually in the wrong. :( So. As of now,…

Smart phones and task killers
Okay, I'm gonna break down and ask for some opinions on here, since everyone's asleep on the android forums. Do you think/know if task killers (advanced/automatic task killers) are needed on smartphones?

Opinions and advice needed on my workout regime !!!
I've been on MFP for 100 days now, and my weight isn't dropping as drastically as I'd hoped, although I know it's a slow process, but still. I stay within my cal range, and my workouts range from 350-550 calorie burns (I have a HRM). Why am I not losing any more weight? My workouts consist of a 10 minute 3.0 treadmill…

Exercise and pain
I've had a messed up right foot for as long as I can remember, MAYBE coming from when I twisted my ankle falling off of the monkey bars in kindergarten, but never diagnosed it. I DUNNO, that's the only thing I can think of. Plus, I began thinking that it hurt just because I'm short and overweight. Of course those factors…

Flabby arms workouts
OK, so I really need my arms to be less flabby by the second week of August! A few weeks away. So, if I'm already doing a regime of a 10 min warmup, approx. 15-20 minutes of various weight lifting machines using my stomach, arms and legs, approx 20-30 minutes of cardio, a cooldown, then MORE weights, what else can I do to…

What is 'Couch to 5K' and 'HIIT'??
I can only guess that the couch one is running, but how do you start it up? And I just don't know what HIIT is. I'm kind of interested in starting up on a running challenge, as long as it can be done via treatmill, not outdoors! Anyone wanna fill me in? :)

Summery nailpolish colors for the beach? :)
Anyone have any suggestions of what colors would work best with my skin tone? Granted, I'm gonna get as tan as a nut as soon as a step foot on the beach, but I just wanna brighten up my wardrobe this time!

Does anyone do or have tried this specific workout? I'm determined to get my flabby arms to look better before my beach vacation to I can wear my pretty and SLEEVELESS summer dresses with ease! My questions: How long is it? What do you think of it? Will I need dumbbells? Did it give you the results you were expecting? If…

Techno-y, upbeat songs needed for workout playlist!
Yeah, I'm at the phase where I'm getting tired of my once superfantastic workout playlist. I currently have alot of the Black eyed Peas, a few Katy Perry and Gaga songs. I react better to those upbeat fast and happy songs because when I start getting blah and slow during my workouts, those songs pick me right back up. :)…

Vitamins to take?
Okay, I've thought up another question. I'm not a big pill taker unless I'm in absolute need of it, but should you be taking daily vitamins when shooting for weight loss? Sounds kind of hypocritical to me, but I'm simply just curious. I've never taken vitamins in all my 22 years, haha. I also keep hearing that women should…
