Odd things/comments people tell you on your fitness journey
So I went to the gym today. I won't lie, I haven't made it very often this week because it was closed for the Memorial Day weekend and I had been rearranging my storage closet in my apartment, packing for a cross country move, lifting heavy boxes, and carried A LOT of things for a recent garage sale. Basically burning some…

What to do with too many calories?
Hey everyone. I know this has been a topic before, but I'm a little lost at what I should do. I have recently started Zumba, and although I know I need to get a heart monitor to be a lot more specific, I am burning a lot of calories (at least 600) since it's a 75-90 minute class. I just started doing it, and I was really…

WiiFit Fun
Hello MFPers, I have been really sick and off of the site for about 2 weeks but finally feeling better. I had a friend out of town visit this past weekend and found a WiiFit at the mall...been looking for what seems like ages for it around here. I was feeling well enough to try it out but not to take a chance of getting…

Balance and Food Intake
So, I've been back and tracking (yay) and trying to get into my exercise routine again. I've noticed that I'm a little (or more) off balance at times with my eating in the sense of the number of grams for carbs, fat, and protein. I haven't gone over on calories, and I try to eat my exercise calories so my body doesn't…

Back on Track...
So, I haven't been here for several months, moving 3 times in the last 6 months, trying to get a new career started, still working to finish by dissertation, and buying my first house. Before July, I was going to the gym about 4 to 5 days a week, still going out with friends, but living in an area that had healthier…

Holy Chipotle!
So, I have been home for about 2 and a half weeks, not doing so great at getting back to working out either. I think I did my best the first week when I went jogging with my boyfriend for 2 days and went to the gym once. :noway: Anyways, I haven't gained any weight back (YAY!) so far anyways and things still fit and my…

Nintendo DS My Weight Loss Coach
So, we had a few threads out there about gamers on MFP and I was wondering if anyone has tried this new product. I have heard about the WiiFit but I don't have a Wii (yet although I know I will eventually...I love games too much not to). This is made for the DS which is the portable game system and has a build in pedometer…

Slightly annoyed...
So, I'm a busy person, never been one to watch what I ate as much as I have lately (never counted calories before, just made healthier choices before now). In the past month, I have upgraded my Curves membership to the new SmartTrax system that tells you how many calories you've worked off, your weaknesses, etc. AND I have…

Unexpected left over calories
So, I didn't intend for this to happen, but I ended up working out harder today than usual and burned close to 500 calories in my little 30 minute circuit training. Then my friend called and I ended up walking his dog for him. All in all, almost 800 calories burned. Needless to say, even though I have been eating and am…

Finding Out About This Site
Hello there fellow members! This site was introduced to me by one of my friends who is trying to lose a lot of weight. I fit in that category as well. Just wanted to introduce myself. I can't remember very well what it was like to be thin, although I used to be as a child. Much like some of you, I have struggled with…
