99 runs down
Helloooooo all. I fell off the exercise wagon over the summer. Boo! I logged in for almost a full year before my crazy summer got in the way, and the wheels completely fell off. Now I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. I just went for a run, and was surprised when I got home, that my Nike App tells me it was my…

Need ideas for office gym work out
Hey all, My boss put a very small gym in at our office this week which is great. I plan on using it on the days I know I can't get to the gym I have a membership at. I need ideas on a good 30 minute work out. The room is so small, so limited equipment. We have: Rowing Machine Stationary Bike Barbells Skipping Ropes Bosu…

Tomorrow is my first "race day"...
Yikes! Tomorrow I'm running, (or at least I will try to run) a 8km womens only run. I haven't done any outside training in months, just treadmill, and on top of that, I haven't been to the gym in a couple weeks due to some medical issues. On top of all that, I sprained my foot 2 months ago, and it's still a bit tweaky!…

Klutz!
I was joking around at work today that I'm a bit accident prone... I mean, I fell out of a stand up tanning bed and bruised my arm from elbow to shoulder... Anyway, tomorrow night I'm supposed to do a nighttime snowshoe trek with my coworkers. It will be my first time ever snowshoeing, and I'm excited! Tonight, leaving a…

Ladies who lift heavy...
... Do you workout alone, or do you have a buddy? I want to start ramping up my weight training, but I am a solo artist at the gym, with no peeps who are remotely interested in joining the gym. I do have disc damage in my neck at C5 - C6, and don't want to make it any worse. My chiropractor is on board with me doing…

How much do you flucuate in a day?
As much as I know I shouldn't, I weigh myself every single morning, without fail. ;-) I don't let flucuations bother me, as I'm not totally set on a final number, but how I look and feel. Anyway, Sunday morning I weighed myself and my scale told me I was down to 152.7. This morning I got on again, and it said 155.3. If I…

New MFP pals?
I could use some extra friends to keep me motivated, and help motivate! I've been a bit slacky lately, and could use the butt kicking! I log in everyday, but don't log my food right now. I do log all my exercises... I'm at about day 130 now, and I've lost 17lbs. Love to have some new friends to work with! :-)

I have runners block.
I want to go farther, and I want to go faster, but my mind keeps winning the battle. I run 5k at about 6.3mph, and that is as much gas as I've got. The other day I managed to ramp up my speed to 7mph for 15 minutes, but I still only ran 5k. If I slow down to 5.5mph or less, I feel like I'm barely moving, and it feels…

Its been a month, I think I'm officially frustrated.
I've been at this eating properly, and exercising for a full month now, and I gain and lose the same 2 or 3 pounds. I'm 5'8, and weigh between 157 and 160 pounds, depending on what day I step on the scale. I work out pretty hard at the gym, I do cardio, and circuit training on weight machines. I log everything I eat, I am…

Recommend a Yoga DVD?
Do you have a favourite? Preferably for a beginner! I've never done a yoga pose in my life, but I'm thinking of giving it a whirl at home... and maybe if I like it, I'll join a class. Thanks! :-)

Sedentary or lightly active?
I can't decide which profile I fit for day to day. I have a desk job, however, as part of my job, I'm up and down the stairs, going to the warehouse 20 times a day, easy! There are about 20 stairs, and the warehouse is pretty big to walk across. Sometimes I do the trip back and forth 3 times before I sit back at my desk,…

I am SO hungry!
I've been hungry all day, and I'm still trying to adjust to eating better while working (I don't have time for a meal)... anyway, I just had dinner, and I am STILL hungry! I'm thinking I should go to the gym just so I can eat more today! lol! I'm sure part of it is my body having to get used to smaller amounts of food,…

Work out frequency
Soooo, I'm trying to get back into shape, and joined a gym last week... I'm trying to decide how often to go to the gym to do cardio/fat burn work outs. I haven't worked in strength training yet, as I'm easing myself into making GOING to the gym a new habit. Last week I was there Thurs/Sat/Sun. I was planning on taking…

Yet another newbie
Hi all, I'm Dawn, 39 years old with 40 coming quickly! (Mid October) I've become pretty lazy over the last few years, and it's starting to show. I recently (as in 2 days ago) joined a local gym (Trevor Linden Fitness) and I'm looking to tone up and get in shape. I'm 5'8, and weigh somewhere around 155lbs. My target is…
