What if your daughter's boyfriend did this?
I have found out that he has been using my computer to find sites on information on how to make meth. Not sure if he is actually doing this but why else would he be looking up the info?

Insanity Users
I want to hear from you. How many calories do you usually burn in a session? Are you losing weight? Also, how can I obtain this? Very expensive? How much room is needed to move? I really just have lots of questions as I am thinking of adding this to my schedule.

Short of Time
I learned from the book that we should be doing at least two days a week of strength (weights) work. Plus, six days a week on cardio. Ok, here is my problem. I am at the gym four days a week. I am not seeing much of my family at all. We can not even have dinner together now. I have classes right after work. I go home and…

What is wrong with my metabolism?
I hear of women who burn 600 calories an hour with Zumba. I can't burn over 300 !!!! I use a HRM so I really do know how many calories I am burning. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I really do give it all I have, also. I am 5' 4" tall and weigh 145.

Questions of care of my bike
I never had a really good bike til now and I want to keep it nice. So, what do I do to keep the chain in good condition? Also, I have noticed that I have to put air in the tires about every two weeks. Is this normal? My tires say 70 pounds but I am only putting in 60. Is that alright?

EWWWW
Not sure which forum to put this. It definately isn't fun or games. I have noticed some very gross things going on at the gym. Worse I have witness is a man lieing on a towel,completely sweat drenched, then he takes same towel and wipes down the machine he was using. Does he really think that he is cleaning the machine?…

Oh no...not the gym !!
I try to go to the YMCA most evenings. At the beginning of the week I do well. But, as the week goes on I have a tendency to lose all motivation. I find all sorts of excuses for not going. Can anyone give me some thoughts to get me going?

Happy Families on diets?
I have trouble staying on track when I am at home. No problem while I am at work. My family doesn't like healthy foods. I am not talking about little children who can be made to do as told. I am talking about a husband and one 18 year old daughter. My husband will eat healthy along with me but he still has to have the bad…

Zumba concerns
I heard on the news this morning that Zumba is sending people to the emergency rooms. Something about twisting the hips and knees while dancing. Does anyone have more information on this?

60s
I would like to hear from the women here who are over 60 years old and are really exercising. I don't mean walking their dog around the block, gardening, cleaning house, cooking, etc. And, I am not saying that these things are bad. But, I mean really working out hard. Where your heart rate goes to at least 80% of max. I am…

The book
I found my copy this weekend. I am now half way through it. A little advice.....unless you enjoy reading on how scientific this idea is then you may want to skip the chapters written by Dr. Lodge. You can read the ones written by Chris Crowley and get the same information only in an easier and a lot more fun way. This man…

Spinning
Does anyone attend a spinning class? And if so...how often. I go twice a week for 45 minutes classes. It really burns the calories.

How do I stop?
It seems that I can go forever without eating at all. BUT, the moment food passes between my lips I am on a down hill roll. Once I start, I can't stop !! How can I control my portions?

Exercising
What exercises are you using to help get rid of your "muffin top"? I am finding that side planks are doing the job, along with lots of core work.

Adult hula hoops
Does anyone know where these can be purchased? They are somewhat larger than the hoops we played with as children. I have looked in a sporting goods store without any luck.

Major calorie burning
I have heard several times that someone will burn up to 1000 calories in an hour. I mentioned this to the training at my gym because, frankly...I would love to be able to do that. Well, she says that she doesn't think that it is possible to burn that many calories in an hour. So...how many here are able to do that?…

Holiday Weekend
I am not sure that if this is the forum for this but here goes.... Memorial Day is this coming Monday. Do you have any plans for a special meal? Will you be grilling out? And if so, what healthy foods will you be preparing?

I would love any advice you have
I really do not look as heavy as I weigh but I do have extra padding of fat, mainly my torso. Middrif, waist, oh, and, my back....I hate my back. I have found that I can sort of firm up these areas but can not lose the padding without losing more weight. By-the-way, I am a little over 5' 4" and weigh 150. I center my…

Calories shown with an HRM
I have a Polar F6 and I love it. Here is the problem.....it shows that I can only burn between 2 and 3 hundred calories during a tough workout such as spinning. Everyone else says that is too low and that my HRM must be off. All these people are burning close to 1000 calories during an hour class. We all have our HRM set…

Older Not That Heavy Girls?
I am just wondering if there are any older ladies here. I am sure that you can guess by this question that I am one of them. We have special circumstances which make losing weight a bit harder to do.
