Echelon Stride Treadmill
Looking for some input on the Echelon Stride treadmill. It is fairly new so there aren’t a lot of reviews out there yet. I really like that it folds down to only 10” (!!!), has a 20” wide belt/ 50” length, and electric incline. My husband and I will just be using it for walking, he however is 250 lbs but its max weight is…

I’m asking for my elderly mother who is in a rehab clinic and not eating. Because she is not eating her physical therapy is suffering. They mentioned she could start taking Remeron to stimulate her appetite. She has had many health issues over the years, does not sleep well, and I’m pretty sure she’s suffering from…

Suggestions for my first DVD
Hi all! New to the group/walking at home and I'm excited to get started! I'm looking at Leslie's DVDs and there's so many to choose from! I need to get back in shape. I've always treadmilled but injured my back last year and gained 10+ pounds. Injury wasn't "major" and I'm fully recovered now. Mid forties with a busy…

I want to lift HEAVY(ish)!! At home advice?
OK, I am convinced. I am so impressed with you guys! All you lifters (esp females) look amazing. I want to be just like you, lol! Unfortunately I don't have access to a gym. Also my place is very small so I don't have room for benches, barbells, etc. So I was hoping to start with dumbbells for now... better than nothing.…

Let's do Lunch (ideas)!
Hi everyone! So things are going great low-carbing. I'm looking for some EASY low-carb lunches that can be brought to work. I've been eating 3 hard-boiled eggs with full-fat mayo for lunch and I love 'em! I can eat this everyday and I'm just fine. The problem is the husband (lol!). He's doing very well and has lost 15…

Low carb, no loss yet ... what am I doing wrong?
After years of struggling with calories in/calories out, I've been low carbing since July 1 and haven't lost anything yet. I know these things take time and I don't have much to lose, but I was wondering if there's anything I'm doing wrong that might stick out to any of you. I am - - Female, age 41, 5'5", CW 150lbs, GW…

Atkins, South Beach... or your own plan?
Hi all, New here! Been at the low carb thing for one week and LOVING IT! Cravings are gone and down a few pounds. I started this via South Beach (promotes low fat meats and cheeses), but after reading your posts I can understand how more fat can be beneficial. What I do like about South Beach is that veggies are unlimited…

MFP iphone App - Black/Blank screen!!
A few days ago my MFP iphone App went all black on the Daily -> My Diary screen. This is the screen where you enter your food for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, etc. As you know this is the most important part of the app! All other screens are working just fine. I'm so lost without this, lol!! Anyone else having this problem?…

Vitamin D - safe amount to take?
Despite eating well, not overexercising, and definitely sleeping well at night... I am exhausted all the time! Reading MFP and other sources informed me that most people's vitamin D levels are waaaay low which could result in fatigue. So I go to my doctor for my annual checkup and tell him my problem and ask if I can have…

Weekly NET average anyone? NET BMR plus what?
I like to look at my calories on a weekly basis. I might eat less on some days, eat more on others, exercise on some days, rest on others. This allows me to live my life a little easier, lol! I think it all balances out in the end. Do any of you prefer to keep track this way? Since the MFP app has a weekly "NET" feature,…

FAT2FIT successes!
I've been obsessing over my BMR, TDEE, cut value, etc. But I really like Fat2Fit's approach of just 'eating for the future you'. I only have 10 pounds to lose and I understand with Fat2Fit this will be a slow process... that is OK! I would LOVE to hear from any of you who live by the Fat2Fit method and have had success…

HOPEFUL newbie with more questions (thx/sorry!)
Greetings Pals! Longtime lurker here. All the recent hoopla about eating more has gotten me excited to finally contribute! THIS sounds like something I can do :) Despite my efforts, I have been stuck at my current weight for... YEARS! I've always been upset that no matter what I've done nothing has worked (except eating…
