Trouble sleeping use meds?
Has anybody used sleeping medication to help them sleep and if so, did it help? Is there a good sleep med I can buy over the counter? When I can't sleep or when I can't stay sleeping and wake up in the middle of the night I always find myself eating a bunch of crap at night. If I could fall asleep and stay that way I would…

i wanna EAT
Is there something seriously wrong with me? Because all I want to do lately is EAT. I just love eating! Especially things with a lot of calories in them! I certainly hope this will pass pretty soon. Has anybody ever gone through a phase where they just wanted to EAT EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME? thanx... sue

stength training??
I think I need to start doing "strength training" but I don't even know how to go about this. I don't have any weights or anything like that. I have a treadmill and thats it as far as exercise equipment goes. So, my question is, what should I do for strength training? Is that basically doing push ups etc? Is there a web…

calories/heart rate?
So my heart rate is 165 (age from 220) but how do I figure out how many calories I burn? I was reading in another post that the best way to figure out your calories burned was to use your heart rate. How? Say I walked a mile in 15 minutes and my heart rate was 155, how would I figure out how many calories burned? THANK YOU…

how does a treadmill work?
How do treadmill's work? I mean, how does it know how many calories I burn? Does it weigh me when I step on it? Because if I was lighter, I wouldn't burn so many calories no matter how fast or long I walked than if I was heavier. How does it know how much I weigh to calculate the calories I burn? I sure don't see any scale…

sleep to loose weight?
Why does enough sleep aid in weight loss? I would think the opposite would be true because when you're awake you're burning more calories than when you're asleep. Could somebody explain this to me? THANK YOU

The cereal is either Kashe Go Lean Crunch or Sun Belt Fruit and Nut Granola. So after I eat this…

walking barefoot
Do you think it's okay if I walk on the treadmill without shoes? Just comfortable slipper type ballet shoes? It feels like I'm barefoot. I usually run about 3 - 4 mph. I thought it'd be okay because that's how lots of people run, our ancestors in the jungles, Indians only wore moccasins not special running shoes, etc.,…

Well, I got myself a walkin' machine! LOL! I just bought a used Proform QT Treadmill....it's awesome but it didn't come with an owner's manual and I'd like a little bit more info on how to work it. Does anybody have one? Or know how to program it? I did a bit of research on the web and didn't really find out too much about…

Used treadmills
I need some advice again. My husband has decided that I've been working really hard and I deserve a reward (cool!) so we decided that we have about $150 - $200 to spend for this reward so I was thinking about buying a used treadmill so I could walk indoors when it rains and watch tv etc. I would SO love a brand new one,…

Sugar in MILK?
I just learned that there is sugar added in milk! I never knew that! PLUS: There is MORE sugar added in 2% milk than regular whole milk! (12 grams in 2% and 11 grams in whole). I always thought that milk was more or less 'natural' like eggs or whatever. This just totally surprised me. No wonder my sugar calories are always…

Fitness tools
If you had about $20-$40 what would you buy to help you stay fit? Like, maybe those exercise balls? or maybe some weights? a video? Or would you just save your money and not buy anything? I never exercised before.....I started walking a few weeks ago and feel I should be doing more.......I need a few ideas and THANK YOU!

SUGAR
My sugar levels have been over every single day. My calories, protein, sodium etc. etc. have all been fine....but SUGAR is not okay! My question is: If my calories are good, does it matter if my sugar levels are over? Will I still loose weight? THANK YOU. I love MFP.

breaking up walking
I was wondering...I read somewhere that if I walked for 30 minutes everyday it wouldn't matter if I broke it up to two 15 minute times...is this true? Or should I walk the whole 30 minutes un-interrupted? Thank you! sue
