The current recommendations for protein are low, imo. They were developed for healthy, sedentary individuals. We particularly want to ensure we are consuming enough protein, particularly if the goal is to lose weight, to aid in maintaining as much lean body mass as possible. As long as you still maintained your calorie…

I also want to add that when I looked at the recipe, I thought the calorie amount seemed high. I just went and created the recipe - making sure to use low fat cream cheese and sour cream like the author said - and deleting the "cake" and "frosting" that was added because of the headings (but they aren't actually used as…

You could substitute low-fat or fat free cream cheese as well - or make a half and half mix if you are worried about losing some of the creaminess. Applesauce really works best in place of oil in boxed mixes...not sure I would try it in this cake. You could try nonfat greek yogurt in place of the sour cream. Possibly use…

Mfp is giving me way too many extra calories so I'm ignoring it. 1500 extra calories based off 13000 something steps. That included and hour of intense cardio and 45 minutes of strength training, but an extra 1500 calories is excessive.

My boobs! Haha. My pecs have been getting a work out recently, and I noticed last week that this mother of two's granny boobs were looking perkier and fuller! I never thought I'd see the day haha.

It's hard for MFP to be right all the time since individual kickboxing routines and individual intensity is going to vary. 700 actually sounds pretty accurate to me. I would go with your heart rate monitor.

I dislike Dr. Mercola even more than Dr. Oz...but that's a whole other topic. While most of his advice may not be harmful, persay, much of it is annecdotal or pseudoscience. Unfortunately, many people take what he says as sage advice instead of using critical thinking and actual scientific research. He capitalizes on that…

I can't speak from doing the workouts at home, but I consider shoes to be very important. Preferably, you would want cross trainers with good support. Depending on what you choose, aerobics can have some side to side movement or fairly quick changes and good shoes will prevent ankle injuries.

Jazzercise is a great dance aerobic class - it really kicks butt and includes strength training as well. See if there is one in your area. If you have a good instructor they will give you low impact options while doing the routines and safety tips - watching posture during plies or pulling your shoulders back to improve…

Hi! I'm almost 18 weeks - due June 12th. I joined MFP in (I think) October 2011. I struggled first trimester with motivation and eating, but the past couple of weeks I have been getting back into my routine :-) I am horrible with carbs with pregnant, and am hoping to be more accountable now that I feel better so I don't…

That's great! Love the video and congratulations!

I don't have any good ideas, but just wanted to say how very sorry I am to hear that. My father is on his third bought in 5 years, and this is one of my fears as well - that the chemo won't work anymore. I'm also interested in some of the replies - I stopped working out and was de-motivated in the past due to grief. Hang…
