Looking for a new HRM
Hello! I am in the process of comparing heart rate monitors and would love to hear your input on which is the best and why. I have used Polar in the past but am finding that Garmin's vivo line and Fitbit are currently the highest ranked ones. So please share! What brand/type of heart rate monitor do you use and why is it…

Looking for suggestions
Hello, I am hoping to get some help on quick, nutritious meals for the days I am just not up for spending much time in the kitchen. Besides being something I can throw together quickly the recipes cannot contain any wheat, spelt, sugar cane, soy, nuts, or millet. I prefer to stay away from cheese as well, but it is not a…

whole oats...UNCOOKED
I love whole oats, they make me happy :laugh: but I don't like them cooked, just raw with other ingredients...I have a couple of recipes, but am wondering what recipes you might have so I can change things up a bit. My favorite two ways to eat them are no bake cookies (I make a little bit healthier variety using maple…

Anyone with fibromyalgia?
I am a dance instructor and am currently taking a ballet class. Some days when I stretch it is down right painful, but other days I am fine. I have yet to find any kind of connection with anything I am doing or not doing...opinions?

Hi Ladies! I had hoped to put off posting our first thread until we had all our members, but we seem to be struggling to get that last member to join! A couple of you have mentioned a friend or relative who might be interested, but as I've not heard from any one, I'm guessing they have decided not to join us. Our challenge…

extra "bag"gage
I have lost almost half of my weight, and my legs seem to be the first to be shaping up. I was doing a stretch forward today and noticed that there were bags at my knees!!! (just above my knee caps) YIKES!!! I am 45, so not quite as elasticy skin wise as a 20ish person, but am I to expect the bags to remain? I know my…

Those in favor of eating back your exercise calories say "Vr
I like to compare eating calories to fueling a car. You can only run on vapor for so long. You give your car gas, your car goes, you forget to put gas in your car, you car does not go...so simple. Our bodies are more complex than that, obviously, but the fact is that we run on fuel too, and that fuel is the food we eat. If…

You gotta change your perspective
I keep seeing people talking about being on a diet. I see people starving themselves to lose weight quick. In my opinion, that is no way to be successful! You have GOT to change the way you are looking at things. To lose the weight and to keep it off, you have to change the way you eat and exercise....forever. It isn't a…

How do you see yourself?
When there aren't any mirrors to see yourself? I was working on some songs for my Zumba toning class and I realized I was picturing myself at my goal size...thin with nice lean muscles..no flab hanging off my arms. So how do you see yourself when you exercise; do you envision the body you are working toward? Or do you see…

Sometimes it's the little things (NSV)
that make us smile. I was getting tangled in my jingle skirt during Zumba, couldn't figure out why at first when it hadn't happened before. I figured out that the part hanging down from being tied was much longer!!! Gotta tie it in a bow now instead of just a knot to keep the extra from getting in my way :D

Calorie limits just isn't enough
I have seen several posts on here that mention how hungry people are. You are being good, eating your calorie limit, but are so hungry! I can't blame anyone for not sticking with a diet when you are so uncomfortable. I absolutely HATE being hungry. So I just wanted to mention that just staying within your calorie goal is…
