Abd crunches
I just started doing chair abd crunches a few days ago. I don't feel at all sore in my abd, just my thighs in the back. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

I love nutritional info on products
I know it was a huge expense and trouble for the food industries to start putting all the nutritional info on products and I know they aren't always accurate but I am so happy they are there. Last night I was hungry for a snack. I had a couple hundred spare calories and had exercised a lot so I figured I could have a…

Small little happy happy victory.
When I started this weight loss effort I had just graduated to a size 24. Well today I went shopping and bought some 14/16 size pants. I had meant them to be my mini goal pants but they already fit me really well. Guess I'll have to get a even smaller pair to keep me on track.

Aerobics with hand weights, how do you count?
If you do your aerobics using hand weights do you count it any different? Can you count any of it as strength training and how would you label it? Thanks.

Anyone use nuun hydration tabs?
I was using cytomax last year on long bike rides for hydration and to replace electrolytes but just found these nuun tablets and thought they looked interesting, and less calories. I get bad leg cramps if I don't take something. Anyone use this product and what do you think? Thanks.

Could this be right?
The other day on my bike we went 15.5 miles on a gravel path. For 6 miles I went 14.8 MPH then averaged about 9.8 on the rest. My bike computer said I burned around 1250 calories. I have it set for my weight. Yesterday we went for a ride. We had a strong head wind all the way back and only did 4 miles total. I averaged…

Walking exercise, how many calories
I just did a 10 minute walking exercise video but I am not sure how to count it in my exercise. It is much more then just walking but not as high impact as some. Just right for this ole lady. So do I just count walking fast to get it the arm and stretching exercises?

Could someone recommend a work out video for an older lady
Older with issues, like some bad wrists and knees. But the willingness is there.

anyone have the Nortic Track 900 pro elliptical?
I am thinking of buying this machine and would like any opinions on it if anyone else uses it. I tried on out and it is so smooth. I guess the HRM doesn't work very well on it though. Anyone have one?

Knee question
I hurt my knee about a month ago. I couldn't hardly bear weight initially but it has gotten better. I am walking and climbing hills and just started doing the stairs at work again. I find if I tip toe up the hills on the bad knee it isn't as painful. Now the knee is swollen again and the pain has increased. So I iced it…

There are some that I can read and I really like getting idea's. I tried to make mine public so I could get some input but it won't work for some reason. But for those that do have a public one could you let me know who you are so I can check them out and do you mind if I ask questions. Plus I work 12 hour night shifts. On…

Water just isn't cutting it
I know they say drink lots of water. If your hungry between meals get a glassful. But what if that does absolutely nothing for you but increase your bathroom trips. I have not had a full nights sleep since I started this. I am lucky if I get 5 glasses in I have never noticed it curbing my appetite. So what else could I try?

How to calculate calories
I am going to my sons for supper. They are having a pot roast with carrots and potatoes in the slow cooker. There is one in the data base but the sodium is way high. They use salt very sparingly so I am unsure, do I just use that and know my sodium isn't really that high or try to just use the ingredients to add the meal,…

Resisting tempation.
I am proud because I went to a meeting today. There were several booths set up I had to visit and check off of. Each and everyone of them had a bowl of candy on it. And I didn't take a single piece. And at work last weekend every single night they ordered pizza and had cakes and cookies. Not a single bite. And it wasn't…

Spaghetti Squash.
I made spaghetti today using a spaghetti squash. I have never cooked one before but followed the instructions. The squash was hard. Beyond al dente. What a bummer. So here's what I did. Poked holes in the thing and baked it for a hour at 375. It was still hard so nuked it for 5 minutes. Still pretty firm. Dinner was a…

I had lost 56 pounds 2 years ago but had a set back due to some health issues. Still have the health issues but don't want to use that as an excuse to…
