Weight Loss	Treadmill or Elipitical? Fat Burning Help...	Jan 16 2008 14:50 (UTC)	7
Look around for a gym that's cheap to join. The one I go to is 120 for a year. It has treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes, tons of weight machines and free weights, and it holds classes once in awhile. The equipment doesn't have bells and whistles but it does the job and they keep it in good working condition.
Foods	Anyone have healthy dinner ideas for a hungry husband??	Jan 10 2008 11:25 (UTC)	7
Last night we made our own chicken nuggets, unthaw chicken, coat them in seasoned bread crumbs and bake. We also made potato wedges....take a medium potato slice it the long way into 6 pieces or so. Chop up some tomato, onions, green onion. Mix it together add some garlic, oregano..whatever seasonings you'd like. Top the potatos and you're good to go. Don't forget to spray the pan down. They are soooo yummy.
Weight Loss	Calories and Losing weight	Jan 09 2008 15:15 (UTC)	3
If you are exercising....and not eating enough calories....you might not lose weight. I remember something I saw on the biggest loser...one of the guys was eating like 1300 calories and he was suppose to be eating around 2100....he wasn't losing weight and his trainer explained to him that he was doing himself a disservice with only eating the 1300 calories because his body needed more than that.
Weight Loss	Do I still look skinny & can stand to gain a few more pounds?	Jan 09 2008 14:43 (UTC)	27
I'd go to your doctor and have them tell you if you are healthy enough or not. Don't let the size of your waist determine that.

Weight Loss	i want to loose 57lbs in 8 weeks is that bad ?	Jan 03 2008 15:19 (UTC)	10
Why don't you make it 140lbs by your sisters wedding. Still isn't 2 lbs a week depending on when your sisters wedding is its roughly 3.2 lbs a week which is a lot more attainable. I'd recomend a goal of losing 15-20 lbs by your Feb 23

Fitness	Planning to run/jog/walk for the new year. Where should I start?	Jan 02 2008 21:23 (UTC)	1
Couch to 5k is great...you can google it and find it. Another thing....go on your 2.12 miles run until you can't anymore then walk till you feel energized again. I weigh 275 lbs and I can walk/jog 3 miles fairly easily. I know you can do your 2.12 you just need to set your mind to it and not give up.
Weight Loss	Upping Calories = Gaining... SET POINT?	Jan 02 2008 15:48 (UTC)	14
Consult a doctor. You really should be eating more than just fruits and veggies. You need a well balanced diet. Remember just because your weight isn't where you want it to be doesn't mean that it's not a healthy weight for you.
