Sore feet...and shins....new shoes???
I'm struggling with sore feet while I'm working out. :cry: When I do jumping jacks, jump rope, run in place, etc, my feet and shins hurt. And, when I do lunges and squats, my feet hurt. Do I need new shoes??? Or, are my feet hurting because I'm using them too hard to keep my balance?? Or am I doing something else wrong??…

Calories burned....What's going on??
So, I'm using my HRM durning my 30DS workouts (today was my day 6 as I took last Wednesday and yesterday off).....and each day, I burn fewer calories. What's up with that??? I am pushing myself to do better every day, so it's not like I'm just going through the motions. Anyone else noticing this??? For me: Day 1 - 378…

What benefits are you noticing??
I'd like to know what benefits everyone is noticing from working out.......other than the obvious things like weight loss, more muscle, and clothes fitting better. For me, something hit me today. I am waking up much easier in the morning! I have always been the person that will hit the snooze button 10 times....and most of…

Anyone want to join me??
After putting it off for a while now...and making bad food choices yesterday, I have decided that I am going to start the 30 Shred tomorrow! I would start to day, but we have way too much running around to do....AND I wanted to find some others that might be interested in starting this journey with me. So, how about it?…

Try this!
This is pretty funny.. 1. Go to Google Maps and click on Get Directions. 2. Write USA as your start point. 3. Write Japan as your destination. 4. Go to the 31st point on your route and when you stop laughing, share with someone else so they can share the laugh! :laugh:

What does everyone monitor??
Just curious what you all monitor in your food diaries. Just calories, or calories and others such as Carbs, Protein, Fat, etc.??? I read somewhere that a good balace is 40% Carbs, 30% Protein and 30% Fat. Well, I set my goals to this....but I'm finding it extremely difficult to stay within the Carb goal....and hard to hit…

Meal Planning
I've been on here for two weeks and doing great...however...I think I need to start planning out my daily meals for the week (or at least a few days out). I think I've been doing a good job at eating healthier food options - and working on getting better when it comes to watching Calories, Carbs, Protein & Fat to stay…

A trick for drinking more water
Well, not sure this will help everyone drink more....but I've found it works for some. Try drinking out of a "fancy" glass. Every now and then, I bring one of our wine glasses to work. I hang one of our little charms on the stem...just so I'll know which glass is mine of course. OK I do that more for decoration! LOL It's…

Non-Exercise Exercises
Where can I find some kind of average calories burned for "non-exercise" exercises.....like housework, yard work, etc.??? I'd like to add these types of activities in to my exercise totals so I can really keep track of what I'm burning. My new line of thinking is that doing anything is better than doing nothing at…

New to MFP...ready for a serious change!
Hi all !! I happend to find this site thanks to a posting I saw on someone's facebook page. I think this site is just what I need - good tools...and hopefully some new friends to keep me focused and on track. I've struggled with weight my entire life.
