Yes ANOTHER HRM question!
Can anyone suggest a HRM that shows calories burned for beginners that does not have a chest strap? My hubby had a HRM that has a chest strap and I hate it! I find it very annoying and distracting when working out. I'd suck it up and just use his but his is old school and doesnt show the calories burned .. thanks!

Friends List ...
So Im new here, but when I signed up I was looking for like minded people to motivate me and support me on my journey. Some of the "friends" who I admit I dont know at all, looking at their food diaries I realize are not on the same page as I am. Would you remove them?

Eating back your calories ..
So I've been here almost 2 weeks now, and everywhere I've read says you need to eat back your calories. Good right? Maybe. But I have a question! I work fulltime during the day so the only chance I get to workout is in the evenings after my children have gone to bed. So I usually begin my workout around 8pm. Then…

Counting Calories
This is my 2nd week here and Im having a hard time figuring out which food to pick from the database. For example, for Sunday dinner we generally have slowcooker roast beef, with potatoes and carrots in the crockpot. I have no idea how to count that for calories/sodium etc and there's so many different choices. Im trying…

What do you do when you're not feeling well?
Last week was my first week, I feel so motivated and weighed in this morning with a 5lb weight loss. Over the weekend I got strept throat, I went to the doctor this morning and they put me on a strong antibiotic (as this is the 2nd time Ive had it this month!) and it's making me feel horrible!!! (which I was told it would)…

What was the very first week like for you??
This is my first full week (tomorrow morning is my weigh in day). Ive never done anything like this before, (never tried, never done a fad diet, just never bothered with anything) but Ive never been so motivated to succeed for some reason. (it's like I woke up and a light switch went off)... I have a lot of weight to lose,…

Question re: Sodium
Im new here and I notice everyone talks about what low cal foods they like, or what fast food they can eat for the fewest calories etc but no one seems to touch on the subject of sodium. Am I missing something ... Just because something is only 350 cal it could have 1000mg of sodium in it (especially if it`s fast food or…

Working out @ home
Question for any of you who do aerobics at home. Do you wear running shoes to do this? I did aerobics for the first time ever tonight, wore bare feet. It wasnt the most comfortable but wasnt horrible either. Just wondering if I should wear footwear or if it matters?

Why do people always want to give kids candy?!?!
My children are not allowed to have candy. I wont say EVER, they've had it once or twice but they are only 2. So why is it people feel the need to want to give candy? This rant comes from the fact my children went to daycare today and were sent home with bags of candy for easter. (nice gesture, wrong message). Im…
