Sweat and Hair Dye?
I'm about to go bust a move on my treadmill and then possibly dye my hair afterwards. Will the sweat make a difference?

How can I be nice to my knees?
They're both bothering me right now. Mostly stiffness but a little pain. I know to try swimming and proper form and all of that to prevent this but, how can I be nice to them after I've completed my workout? Ice? Heat? Aleve? Any kinds of massages? Fanks.

I really really really want a nice butt...
Screw abs (of course, if someone is handing them out I'd get in line.) It's all about the booty for me. My rear is rather large and I have an 'exaggerated lumbar curve'... Basically, where my lower back meets my butt it's like a ski slope. I want to tone and tighten and lift that sucker UP! I've been squatting like crazy…

Bring the tissues...
Someone posted this on my Facebook feed... And I cried!! If that's not motivating I don't know what is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX9FSZJu448&sns=em

Is this possible? I'm confused... Again.
I just got done a 2hr workout. I did Bob Harpers inside out method DVD and got on my treadmill. I got a heart rate monitor yesterday so that I could try to get a more accurate read on what I'm burning. I was definitely pushing hard and sweating... Out of breath, whatever. According to MFP and my treadmill I burned over…

Chinese!
I'd like Chinese for dinner... Any tips on lower calorie/fat stuff?

Sneaker recommendations
I need new ones as mine smell like Doritos and are no longer keeping their shape. During lunges, jumps, and aerobic type stuff my feet slide around in them (they fit... Just worn out). I don't want to spend a ton of money just want a good pair that will get me through the next couple of months. My feet are small so I can…

The man that can run forever
I found this on cracked.com Dean Karnazes is an American long-distance runner capable of inhuman feats of endurance, such running 50 marathons in each of the 50 states ... in 50 consecutive days. Which he totally goddamned did. He's run a marathon on every continent twice over and run 350 miles nonstop over three sleepless…

Body Combat 49
I just started Combat a few weeks ago and I'm absolutely in love. I'd do it everyday if I could. I'd like the music to practice the moves while I'm not in class but I cant find it anywhere! I've found the track list but iTunes doesn't seem to have the songs. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Danka.

Starting 30 Day Shred Today!! Who's with me? 5/11/2011
Sandralina (yes I did ;) ) and I have decided to go for a round of 30DS starting today. It'll be my second and her first. My weight loss has slowed down as of late and I'm hoping this will get me over my hump and up to 20 pounds lost. I suppose we can check in periodically and just generally give each other encouragement.…

How do I strengthen my knees?
Back when I started the 30DS my knees, especially my right one, bothered me. It gets swollen and feels hot to the touch. It isn't horribly painful but it's... stiff, numb feeling, and just not right. I can't kneel down to give my kids baths/whatever. I iced it, rested and it was fine. This morning I went to my first Zumba…

Balls. My treadmill broke.
I'm just getting started on this journey and was really enjoying my treadmill... Now it's broken. No there is no warranty, it's old. I now need to get something else. I like the treadmill because I have a 17mo old daughter and I workout while she naps. I can't very well go for a run and leave her home. What do I want to…

I don't know what's wrong with me...
but I'm actually starting to enjoy exercise... Especially my treadmill. Crazy, I know. My problem is eating back my exercise calories. I don't want to eat things just to get to my calorie goal when they may not be the best choices. Also, I'm really short. 4ft 10in and I don't have a heart rate monitor to know exactly what…

I hurt my knee, what can I do?
My knee is sore. Nothing serious (I don't think) but I don't think I'll be able to run/jog/jump/squat/lunge... Stuff like that. It's ok to walk on and I do have a treadmill but I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of maybe some upper body stuff I can do so I don't totally fall off the wagon. I'm really…

Words of encouragement?
So I wanted to maybe brainstorm about what to say to your friends/fellow weight losers when they do a great job. You can only type "Good for you!" "Great job" "You're awesome!" "Yaaay" so many times.... Especially because losin this weight is a process and is going to take a while. So I was wondering what under used words…

I'm new... And fun!
Hey folks! I'm starting my third week of exercise and decided to join the site. This is the longest I've stuck to a 'plan' ever... Isn't that sad? Haha oh well it doesn't matter because this is it! I'm doing it this time! Self confidence here I come! Looking for friends to keep me motivated and to motivate. Let's get fit…
