Do you log calorie burn for weight lifting?
Just curious. If you do, do you pause your HRM between your sets or whatever ? I'm fairly new to this. I used to lift in high school with my swim team, but obviously we didn't track our burn lol. I used my HRM for my first session last week. Said I burned 14 calories in 8 minutes lmao. The second time I didn't even bother.…

Cholesterol & Potassium
I don't know too much about them and how they affect the body/weight loss. My mom is always getting on my case about eating eggs everyday because of the "cholesterol," but I think she's wrong lol. Google hasn't really helped me in regards to understanding cholesterol found in food and what potassium is really for (though I…

Belly button piercing?
I've been wanting to get one done as my "ultimate reward" kind of deal, but I would like to hear other's experiences with them. The thing I'm most worried about is swimming. I'm on a swim team and don't think you're allowed to swim for a while once you get it pierced? Tell me your story. The good and bad experiences, etc.

Do I look manly...
In my profile pic? lol. I showed my boyfriend and he said if I wasn't wearing my sports bra I /could/ look like a man... not something I like to hear ! Although I do want to be lean, strong, and "toned."

Anyone starting INSANITY this December?
Maybe we can be friends or make a group or something to support each other :D I'm really nervous for it D: Also, any tips would be appreciated!

Any uni students have done/are doing INSANTIY?
I've been thinking of starting it in December since I'll have a 2 week break between semesters to focus on it. I really want to do it, but not sure if I'll have the time? I'm also on a swim team and have 1h30m practices at LEAST 4 times a week. With my new schedule next semester, I can go more (and I already paid enough $$…

10% difference in BF% results?
So my old PT let me get a calliper test done at the the gym. He didn't do it because of schedule conflicts, so another girl did it. She told me she hasn't done too many of them before. I got my results back as 15%... when I plug in my measurements on Internet calculators I get 25% (the ones that use waist, hips, wrist,…

Help =[
I keep fluctuating the same 1.5-2lbs for around 3-4 weeks now ;( I measure myself every week as well, and there hasn't been a significant difference in my measurements (I attribute small differences to user error). I've been here for 5 months now. I exercise daily. My week for the most part looks like this: Mon - Swimming…

Any stretching videos to improve flexibility ?
So doing Jillian's Ripped in 30 and Yoga Meltdown made me realize how much flexibility I've lost since my dancing days =[ I don't have time to sign up for a dance class where we spend a good chunk of class stretching (although I really wish I did; I miss it!) so a video I can do at home is the next best thing for my…

To wear my FT7 in the pool or not?
For those of you that have done it before... was it a good way to sort of get a more accurate number than just using calculators on the internet to guesstimate your burn? Or was it completely pointless? I'm starting to have doubts about how accurate my calculations are when it comes to my swim practices.

Woo NSV!
So on my swim team, whenever someone has a birthday they bring in treats for the whole team, otherwise it's not their birthday according to our coach lol. Today a kid brought in cookies, and I DIDN'T have one. And I'm a huge cookie monster! Granted, I had a cookie from Subway today... lool. But normally I would be all over…

Your thoughts?
I have been so incredibly hungry this past week. I'll be fine during the day (usually), then in the evening I just want to eat everything. Aunt Flow was visiting this week, but honestly she hasn't done much for my hunger previously, so I don't think she's the culprit this week either. I'm thinking that maybe I need to up…

Negatives from weight loss ?
What are some things about you/your body that have changed with losing weight that you don't like ? Personally, all of my jeans look deflated in the rear area, even my "tight" skinny jeans. My friend bought me a buttpad when I was still at my highest weight (I didn't have much of a butt then either), but now I actually…

C25K & Polar FT7
I just got my HRM! :D But I was wondering, how do you log your calories burned for C25K? Like, do you not count the walking parts? Do you only count calories burnt when you're over a certain heart rate? To be honest, I'm not quite sure how this thing works yet haha. Off to find some instructions, but just wondering what…

Oh you sneaky food you.
So I was grocery shopping today, looking for some instant pudding powder to add into my Greek yoghurt and shakes. The chocolate pudding that I used to get back in the day now had an almost twin brother sitting beside it! It was bragging on the package how low fat it is and stuff. So I compared the two, thinking maybe it…

Help on Getting Back to C25K
So here's the story: I got to week 5 of the program in mid August. I felt really strong that week and was super excited to keep going with the program. Unfortunately, I tore my calf muscle =[ So running, as well as jump rope were no longer part of my workout regime. And now finally, FINALLY, it feels strong enough to start…

Thanksgiving in 2 weeks D:
How will you go about that day? If you have a family get-together, will you just consider it a cheat meal ? It just hit me today how much I love Thanksgiving food and how high calorie it will be.

Dream Interpretation Books
Hello all, I'm looking to purchase a good dream interrupter. I always have such crazy dreams almost every night, and wouldn't mind reading about their potential hidden meanings over breakfast xD Anyone have any suggestions ? ...and don't say "just google it," because I'm one of those who prefer to read hardcopies :tongue:…

Attention: Competitive Swimmers
How do you log your workouts? Using MFP estimates ? A mixture of different website estimates? I have been averaging estimates from different sites, but found that I was really hungry by the end of the weekend, so maybe the estimates were too small? What is your experience ? Again, this is for those who swim competitively…
