A ? for the walkers
This may have been asked before but I just couldn't find the answer. I have seen walkers, some walk with their arms bent and really swinging the arms. I have also seen walkers with their arms extended beside them and swinging their ams. What is the correct way to "walk"? I have tired it with my elbows bent and just…

My first time to the gym
I signed up for Planet Fitness on Friday and with Christmas around the corner I was to busy to go on Saturday. Today after church I went with a friend and my nephew Randall. I was thinking that since I am already walking 4.1 + miles it would be a piece of cake!! How wrong I was!! I got on the elliptical and after learning…

What do I do next?
Ok I have lost a bit of weight just by watching what I eat and by walking/jogging and just being on MFP. It is cold here in Indiana and I just can't keep walking outside, and walking in the mall is a real joke as I would end up mowing everyone down :laugh: ..that might be fun to watch anyway :laugh: I had walked in the…

Planet fitness
Does anyone know anything about or belong to Planet fitness? I do not have the funds to belong to a fancy gym but I have heard about this and one is opening up within walking distance to my place. Any advice? Thanks, Mary

Almost had an accident :)
I have been losing a little each week...I am so thankful that I have kept that up. I USE to think that I won't buy clothes until I can really tell a difference....others say they can see it but until I can I will keep wearing what I have. I may have to re-think that because: I have pants that have given me a baggy butt and…

It could be the reason I can't run for very long. For starters I was looking at my feet on where they would be landing instead of looking at…

For walkers & runners
Good Morning!! I am just starting to really get into walking and have started jogging. My question is what does everyone do in the winter time? I do not have a treadmill, nor can afford a membership anywhere, the only place that I could walk is the mall and as fast as I walk I would mow everyone over!!! :laugh: Do you walk…

Mind Game?
I have been sitting reading all the other posts and looking at how much each person has lost. As I am reading and getting encouraged with each one my mind is saying "why can't I lose 10 lbs, or I wish I could have lost 15lbs. I wish I could look different. I am getting discouraged at times but keep on doing what I have…

Leg Pain
I have been walking either 1.5 miles or 2 miles just about everyday now and the same thing happens. My right calf will cramp up and get hard. I have warmed up before walking, I have tried slowing down when I feel it coming on, I have stopped and stretched it out but nothing helps. It is not both my calves but just my…

B-4 or after you eat?
Hello, Is it best to exercise (right now I am walking and doing Zumba) before or after you eat? Does it make a difference. Thanks,

New Member!
Hello one and all!! I am new and a bit older then most on here I think. I have tired other ways of losing and it would always come back on and be added to it. My brother is on here and told me about it so here I am giving it a try. One thing I have noticed is I have never kept record of what I was eating and since I am now…
