  • Another recommendation for Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012. There are a LOT of different exercises you can do. Each type builds on itself becoming longer and harder. You can set up a fitness plan based on what you want to do and it will recommend which exercises for you to do and how many times for you to do them. If you…

  • I'm kinda lucky in that respect, my MLS program is mostly female, out of 32 people, only 3 are male. Seems the females are in the medical sciences instead of industry!

  • Not really sure where MFP get's their daily allowance recommendation but the USDA says that the daily allowance for sodium is 2400mg, so right around MFP levels. Everybody on MFP has the same number for sodium. That being said, I personally only try to get around 1500mg of sodium per day. If I go above 2000mg I start to…

    in What will you do for yourself at your goal weight? Comment by skeetpea February 2012
  • I watch my sodium. I try to stay around 1500mg a day. When I lost 40 pounds a little over a year ago with MFP I learned very quickly that sodium plays a HUGE part on my weight loss. When I wasn't keeping it under 2000mg I would carry water weight and my weight loss would stall. It would always take me at least 2 days of…

  • I am currently doing that, though it is not by choice. I am extremely busy with school and work that my exercise is pretty much nothing at this point (except climbing a lot of stairs because I use parking garages at school and work!). I don't really see a large amount of exercise happening until I hit summer break and when…

  • The same thing happened to me, only my "lack of motivation" lasted 9 months and I gained back all 40 pounds that I lost. For me at least I would consider it a lack of planning. I started a new semester at a new school and I was not prepared for how stressful it would be or how much time it would take out of my daily life.…
