Anyone want to do 30 day Shred in September?
I was thinking about starting 30day shred in september. Could use some support. Anyone want to do it with me. We can encourage each other. I am a mom to a 1.5 yr old and a 6 month old and work full time. So 30 mins a day is really all I have to squeeze in exercise. I'm currently 210lbs and ultimately would like to get back…

Quitting C25K....
I'm so frustrated... I tried this program last year, and lets be honest, I was too fat to run and wasn't disciplined enough to see it through. I decided that this would be my year and I would complete it. I was able to get through the first 2 week. I rested on weekends and attended Zumba class twice a week in between my…

Early Xmass Present to Myself.....
After completing all my Xmass shopping, I had racked up some dept store credits/store cash. I had decided last week to use them and ordered 2 pairs of size Medium sweat/yoga pants and 2 long sleeve size Medium tops. When I first started MFP (3/12), I weighed over 200lbs and wore a size 18/XXL. I figured that "next year" I…

Whats the right amount of exercise?
I generally shoot for burning 400 calories in about an hour, 4 days a week. Is that ok for proper weight loss? I try to mix up my exercises. But my question is, how much is enough? Should I be burning more or less? I only have an hour a day and my work out exhausts me for the rest of the night and even the next day. I'm a…

Working out = Breakouts?
I purchased a treadmill about a month ago and began using it regularly. I wash my face before I work out and shower immediately after. What am I breaking out on my face like a 16 yr old?
