Calories for Octane Fitness Xr6000?
Hello fellow MFPers, Someone once told me not to trust how many calories the machine tells me I'm burning, so I have been going with what's on the MFP database, rather than what the machine tells me post-workout. That being said, I've just fallen in LOVE with the Octane Fitness Xr6000, and I wanted to know if anyone knew…

She weighs 420 pounds, has a 40 inch waist, and measures 100 inches around the hips. I'd love to hear what people think about this…

I'm injured, and getting antsy!
Hi all, I'm nursing a pulled tendon in my foot, which is ALMOST ALMOST better -- in the meantime, I'm getting INSANELY antsy, in that "I want to feel my body work and move and pump" way that we all know and love. So my question is, what exercise could I do, while staying off direct pressure of my foot? I know swimming, but…

Just Started!
Hi everyone, I'm Stephanie! I just started the 17DD today! So far so good -- although it's hard to NOT reach for that after-dinner piece of fruit. I'm sure I'l get used to it, though. I am so thrilled to be joining this support system -- I have been stuck in the 160s for MONTHS and I am SO ready to see those 150s and…

NSV -- BUT Ankle pain after running
Hi everyone So as my 5K is coming up very soon, I decided to change my tactics for training this evening. Instead of attempting to run 28 minutes straight.... I told myself that I would stay on the treadmill until I had gone 3.1 miles -- Both to see that it wasn't actually as long as I'd been thinking, and to just get a…

Running tool to track mileage -- Pass it on =)
Hi all, I recently discovered this tool and wanted to pass it on so that everyone could join in. I'm currently training for my first 5K, and prefer to run outside, but had no idea the distance of my runs, just the time. Now I plug in my route, get the mileage, and can see how I'm improving on distance and time. I've been…

Yom Kippor
Hello there, I wasn't sure where to post this thread, but I figured "General Diet" was as good a forum as any. I wanted to ask the Jews of MFP how they're going about Yom Kippor -- Are you eating more this evening? If so, more carbs? more protein?? What do you have planned for Break-fast? Any help would be appreciated.…

Fage 0% has no potassium??
Somehow I find that hard to believe? I mean it's a dairy product..... Can anybody confirm? I've checked on the label, but since the FDA doesn't require you to list potassium, some brands do not. Thanks!

Running NSV
So one of my minor goals is to do a 5K on Thanksgiving. To prepare, I've been working on building up my time/distance. I am happy to report that for the first time ever (and I mean ever, I have NEVER been a runner) I managed an entire mile --On treadmill 4.7 speed, 12:45 time -- although I ran for 13:00! AND IT FEELS GREAT!

NSV -- I wanted to run but I couldn't.............

NSV -- my first
So after a family dinner -- something that's always been hard to be "good" about -- my mom, brother, and Dad devoured HALF A GALLON of ice cream. Before MFP, I would've grabbed a spoon and joined the carnage. But now, the idea of ice cream wasn't even appetizing! I don't know whether it was just that I wasn't hungry, or…

Beating myself up for losing control during office lunch!
It's not a success story, but I could use a little love from my MFPers.... I was being SO SO GOOD today. And then we had an office lunch after a long meeting. I was so so hungry and I just made bad choices and ate WAYY more than I should've and now I'm just disgusted with myself. Sorry, just venting, I guess. :cry:

Need Help Avoiding Temptation
So I was a stupid stupid girl and agreed to meet my friend in a Dunkin Donuts for a quick coffee to catch up. Now usually, I would suggest that we grab coffee and walk and talk.... but since it's over 100 degrees out there, we'll be staying inside. Pre-MFP, I was a donut JUNKIE. ahhhh just thinking about it, I want one so…

Embarrassing Gym Moments!
So I'm at the gym wearing light gray cloth shorts (YES that's important). I take a seat on a stationary bike and huff and puff my way through 40 minutes..... So I get up off the bike and walk over to the paper towel dispenser to wipe down the machine. As I'm walking I happen to catch a glance at my *kitten* in the mirror…

Elliptical vs. Treadmill
Hi all, I was hoping someone would be able to answer my question -- I just joined and I'm finally getting serious about this. When I'm at the gym doing cardio, I use the elliptical machine, because running on the treadmill seemed very daunting for some reason. However, someone mentioned to me last night that he didn't…
