Hey You Are Doing The Right Thing!!! don't let the scale full you! there are skinny people who have no muscle and are not healthy.

If your ears get plugged up with altitude, you can reduce the discomfort by usung regular foam earplugs on the way up and the way down. The flight attendant can give a pair if you need them. Bag of almonds, some string cheese and a protein bar will help with non diet friendly vending machines if you get stuck at the…

Try Calorie King web page or http://nutritiondata.self.com/ When in doubt you can cross reference to get a better idea of how close they are to MFP

Ask your Doc about iron, for me food works better (liver), also ask about prime rose oil, it helps with your body talking to itself properly (in med words, supplement hormon friendly micro nutrients) and also try this 5 min all body routine in the morning before jumping in the shower: 10 jumping kacks, 10 air qsuats, 10…

Seen this alot, dont forget to to EAT your extra calories, your body needs to the food and if you robe it of the basics it will slow your metabolism to protect you, that means hard times loosing the extra pounds.

Yes definetly try to eat your excercise calories. I would loose a bunch of weight for a few days or even a couple of weeks and then crash, binge, or plateou. I was working out and making all the right food choices, but I could not make this weoght lose thing work for the long run, that is when a nutritionist told me about…

I tried the brussel…

Love to see CF here. I used to do CFHQ WOD modified via brand X forum and due to a knee injury I am now 20# bigger and 10 months short of WODs. Hopefully next week I will be able to start again. Either way it is inspiring to see other CFrs in MFP. Thanks!

I break the work outs down like this: Cash in (ususally practice form with laight wiegths) I sub it in MFP as "Pilates" WOD I sub it in MFP for "Calistenics (push ups, sit ups) Vigorous Effort". WODs that are metcons or that have specific C2 / run portions I count…

I know the feeling worked double shifts at Target and bags of fries were the only option. try these tricks: *As we get closer to winter invest in a vacum thermos. Bring soup in, just make sure is close to boiling when you pack it and it will be warm 3 to 4 hours into your shift. Make them hearty, make a big batch and take…

Hey I just remembered another one. It works your back too in such a way that it helps support your core even if your abs are out for now. The set up: Find a bench or surface that is knee high. Put your hands on it shoulder width apart. Step back hinging at the waist until your back is like a table top (we are going for…

Hey, I am bouncing back from 8 months of knee problems and I understand it can be frustrating. Recover slow to recover properly is what everyone told me. Now that I am coming out of it, I am glad I did take it slow. One move that totally helped was hip raises. *Lay on your back, with your arms along the side of your body…
