I have only flown domestic with my protein powder, but have never had an issue! I put it into Tuppeware, and into my carry-on. Not sure the rules Internationally, but it's worth taking a shot!

I am right there with you. Although, I hate to think of it as an obsession! Think of it as something you are passionate about. It is so amazing how much you knowledge you obtain throughout your own journey. If someone else is telling you that you are "obsessing, don't listen to them. You do what you have to do to reach…

Hi! I totally understand about the whole "shy" person thing, not wanting to join a gym, run outside, etc. Let me tell you, I felt so embaressed when I started my journey to workout in front of anyone. I felt like I "looked stupid" or, like I didn't know what I was doing. Anyway, I had to get over that, because I really…

"Toning" has a different meaning to everyone. I agree with most of the posts, you have to lift. You should be "toning" throughout your entire weight loss journey. Cardio only won't do the trick. You absolutely will not look "bulky". Strength training will actually speed up your process! There is no better way. Feel free to…

Lifting is AMAZINGGGG! When I first started strength training I was intimidated by the term "lifting" as a girl. It is all BS. Strength training burns a tremendous amount of calories, and in fact can be addicting! If you are just starting out, I would recommend a few things. 1. Don't be afraid to lift heavy, with smaller…

I slacked off MFP for a few months. Coming back on, I would love to give advice to those in the same boat. I started my weight loss journey a little over two years ago, and lost close to 40lbs. I have changed my entire lifestyle, and have learned a tremendous amount about proper nutrition, strength training, cardio…

I agree with most of the posts above. Logging your food is crucial. Eating healthy meals everyday surpasses an hour workout everyday. If you aren't eating properly, the workout means next to nothing. ; Have you tried using a calorie calculator? (There are several examples right on Google) To see the recommended calorie…

WOW. 91lbs lost is beyond amazing! Congrats to you, you should be so proud of yourself. I am new to this blog, but I think it such a great way to gain support with people who are in the same boat as you. 9lb's to your goal weight is nothing, and if you are beginning to weight train it should come off fairly quickly. You…

Hi! :) I totally feel your pain. I am 25 years old work full day's and still go to school. I always wish there were more hours in a day, but unfortunately we have to work with what we have. Before I got seriously intense with my workout journey, I think I loved my sleep more than anyone I knew. There are sacrifices we all…

You absolutely can lose weight eating 1,500 calories a day, especially coming from a 3,000+ a day diet! Not to mention, you are excerisisng almost everyday. Cutting out that many calories will sure make a difference, but you also want to make sure you are eating enough. You do not want to slow your metabolism, which will…

In my opinion, if you are trying to strict with a low carb diet, you can't go wrong with sweet potatoes. It may be a little boring at first, but there are several recipes you can find. Sweet potatoes are one of the best carbs out there for you! I boil a couple sweet potatoes at a time, once they feel soft I let them cool.…
