my dog's fitness
I have a 50lb boxer/pitbull mix named Lexi (her pictures are on my profile). I've been walking her for 2 miles when I go to the park and then she passes out when we get home. There is a March of Dimes walk coming up in about 3 weeks thats 3.5 miles long and I want to take her with me, but I don't want to push her too hard.…

lets be facebook friends...
I play a lot of games on facebook where you need neighbors to level up. Why not dip into my MFP friends to help with it?? I think we can organize this so no one's name is just thrown out there for everyone to see. Here's my idea of how to do this. Respond to this post with a list the games you play on facebook. Go through…

Reebok Precision XT Question...
Is your Reebok Precision XT HRM really finicky about getting a reading from the chest strap? A lot of times I will be working out and I have to put it in a place JUST RIGHT for it to read the signal from my chest strap (and even then the signal will go in and out). When I'm on the elliptical, the watch can't be on my wrist…

pills are so tempting...
So I was just in the gym working out and this lady came in. Even though I was listening to my mp3 player and in the middle of strength training, she came over to tell me about some pill she's taking called "add-a-pex" (or something like that) and it makes you loose 1 pound a day. She knows someone who took it and lost 30…

In 10 minutes...
I am going to the gym. I haven't been to a gym regularly in at least 4-5, maybe 6 months. I'm kind of nervous. I hope there aren't a lot of people in there. (This is a medium sized room here at work that has 2-3 ellipitcals, 3-4 treadmills, yoga balls, a set of free weights and a giant weight lifting machine.) I plan to…

My New Plan!
I am getting kind of excited about this. I sit at work and read all the MFP boards and get super excited about working out and motivating myself to go to the gym when I get home, but when I get home, all that movitation is lost and I sit on the computer playing games on Facebook most of the night (omg, I am totally…

I've realized where I mess up...
I do good the first week on any new diet change and I have good results. At the end of that first week, I think about all the times I cheated or didn't choose the best option available but I still lost a decent amount of weight. So then I convince myself that I can keep cheating and keep loosing weight at the same rate as…

Discouraged before I even begin....
ok, so here's the "pity me" post. I've decided I want to loose weight by Halloween to look extra hot in my costume. I'm currently 260lbs and I've never been this heavy. I feel so unprepared to do this. I've been to the gym twice this week but I can already see it becoming incredibly boring. I've done the ellipitcal for 15…
