OUCH! Anyone have suggestions for good work out shoes?
I currently have a pair of Nike's but when I work out my feet get tingly...like I have no circulation and then it starts to hurt. These shoes have been fine, I have had them for about six months and never had a problem until I started the exercise routine. I'm thinking that maybe there isn't enough give to them? Anyways,…

Awkward NSV =)
Okay, so my one pair of pants were slightly too big before I started to lose weight but the pair I had purchased that were the next size down were too tight. Soooo I was hanging out with my younger brother (who is super skinny and has gotten really strong) well he had been working on his truck and put his dirty hands on…

Planet Fitness...opinions??
They boast something called the "Judgement Free Zone". Being obese, I am interested in a gym where I don't have to feel super self conscious while working out. It's pretty cheap for the membership...actually super cheap and I was just wanting some opinions. All are welcome of course but I want to know how helpful they are…

Opinions on the Rowing Macine?
I have been thinking about getting a rowing machine, it is a full body workout and I'm super interested. The one I am looking at is around $900 but supposedly it is one of the best and I just so happen to NOT be over the weight limit :grumble: Anyways I want to know if it is as good a workout as I think it will be and if…

PLEASE help. Ugh, this calorie crap has me frustrated!
I'm so frustrated with my calorie intake. Obviously I KNOW how to eat lots of calories since I'm so overweight. But it seems like every time I start my healthy eating I get full faster probably because I slow down and I'm not shoveling it in like I do with the processed or high fat foods. The problem is that I have trouble…

What I learned when I did Playstation Move ZUMBA
Ummmm okay, so I KNEW I was out of shape and that I would be wheezing after about 10 minutes in. What I didn't completely realize is that when it comes to rhythym...I have none, zero, nada. Eventually I just stopped obsessing over getting the moves right and focused on keeping my heart rate up and just kept moving. Saying…

We are all just ticking time bombs....
So, a little over a week shy of my 25th birthday I’m learning a tough lesson about obesity. Most people have this, “It won’t happen to me,” mentality and I am no different. I first have to give some background before I get to what I consider my tough lessons on health so please bear with me on this. I usually would not…

Hi, my name is Nikki & I'm a binge eater =(
I had been doing so great for 2.5 weeks, logging my food, watching what I was eating etc. I even went to a fair and did not eat a thing which for me is amazing considering the deep fried cheese on a stick and cream puffs always seem to call my name. I even got nauseous when I smelled the waffles that they load up with…

I REALLY need advice. Thanks!
So the thing I have found most intriguing in the past 2 weeks and one day since the beginning of my lifestyle change is that I cannot seem to get my net calories to 1200. Right now I am for the most part making healthy choices and paying attention to my portion sizes. This morning I added exercise to my routine. I waited…

NEED HELP!!!!! Healthy lunch suggestions?
So I've only been at my lifestyle change for 2 weeks. Already I am tired of my easy lunch options, Lean Cuisine, Lean Pockets, Healthy Choice, Smart Ones, etc. I swear when I open the freezer I would rather not eat at all than smell another Lean Pocket cooking and considering that Lean Pockets are the new lunch time fad a…

Embarrassing NSV? I don't care, I love it!!!
Okay so I've been at this lifestyle change for about 10 days, after the first week I noticed that my underwear were falling down...like literally bunching up under my butt cheeks when I walked! Let me just say that while I am happy about the progress (3 inches gone in my hips alone!) it is super annoying because there is…

Is it really that strange?
So at this point in my journey, thinking of goals in terms of numbers is overwhelming unless I just think 10 lbs at a time but that is not always motivating enough. I wanted my goals to be things I could see or do that I couldn't before, so my main focus points have been on non numbers related things. My main goal right…

Hello from OHIO!!!!!
Hi, I'm new to my fitness pal. I put in on my phone over a month ago and barely used it. I am finally ready to kick it into gear and lose this weight. I'm not worried about being "skinny" just about being healthy! I have said this MANY times but I am determined this time. I look forward to being part of this community and…
