Pregnant - Wanna share notes?
Hi all! Just recently found out I'm pregnant! But shhh, I haven't told many people other than rents and sis because I want to wait until I'm further along (I'm about 6 weeks). This is a first for us and it would be nice to talk to someone in the same boat, so I'm reaching out to fellow pals here to try and compare notes,…

My July Fitness Goals
I'm one for writing everything out. I need to SEE things in order to tackle them. So, I've outlined my total July fitness goals and thought: I need to make it more public. So I'll make a post on MFP instead of placing the list somewhere on my comp or fridge because that seems to get hidden away from myself that way (if…

This lady is challenging me!
Keeping up with my YouTube video subscription to exerciseTV I saw a post from them challenging me this week to work on lower body and legs. So, thought I would share and see who would like to join me. The challenge involves 60 lunges and 60 squats everyday this week. Here's the vid:…

Sitting and Dying
So I've come across multiple articles about this new study that prolonged sitting raises chances of dying earlier or having more health complications. Here's the most recent article from Huff Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/24/sitting-too-long-death_n_884152.html So, I work at a desk averaging 8 hours a day.…

Confidence
Not sure if some people are doomed to have low self esteem and no confidence or if it's something that can be worked on... I'm definitely making changes in my life to be healthier and lose weight, but even as I lose the weight and am getting healthier, I don't feel very confident when I go out in public. My hubby tells me…

NSV - walking!
Just thought I'd share a recent discovery I made since starting in March... I've upped my walking speed by 1 mph! When just starting a few months ago (around March), my brisk walking was 2.5mph (and I mean, I was out of breath and could only keep it up for about 2 miles (at the most 3)). In the last week I've been brisk…

Goals for May
I'd like to get a group of people on here to help motivate each other during the month of May. I have set some fitness goals for myself and am wondering, what are yours? It's not May yet, but it's right around the corner, so why not start planning? My goals: Start and complete the 30D Shred Walk 90 miles Simple enough, no??

Lower body injury and cardio
Anyone have any specific suggestions for someone with a lower body injury (ankles) who still wants to get a good cardio workout in? Walking is doable, but can't be very brisk at all and I can do a soft squat and punches, but would love to have a variety of choices if you can think of anything else... Thanks!

Confusing them muscles
So heard some about this muscle confusion business. I get the concept. Or maybe I don't... My question is whether this means a daily confusion, weekly, monthly, what? Meaning, can I set a weekly goal of a variety of workouts (cardio and weights) but then I should not do the same the following week? Or if I do the same but…

Jewish?
Just wondering if there are any Jewish or Israeli people out here I can befriend? I'm wondering because if we eat similar foods in our Jewish cuisine, perhaps we can help each other chose healthy and cook it healthy or whatnot? That would be cool. Also, if someone can help with the side effects of eating matza all week,…

Just saying hello!
Hi! Well, I've been in the weigh loss "game" for many times too many. Just found the site and am looking for friends with similar goals. As much as I love success stories I really feel I need to unite with people who are on the same boat as me, even tho those who are far ahead can be extremely motivating and inspiring.…
