  • I’m high protein about shoot me a note, I’m struggling with hitting it but I’m doing better
  • I'm in for 60 [/url]
  • Hey Girl! I'm in training now for a HM in December. The key is to have a schedule and stick to it - if not now, then no less than 12 weeks out. Hal Higdon has a good beginner HM schedule that can even be modified easily to suit any runner. Other than that, my advise is: 1. Good sneakers that fit (go to a store and get…
  • Are you using a chest strap to measure your HR/calorie burn or just the app? If you want an accurate read, suggest a HR monitor of some sort. I prefer the strap for accuracy.
  • This works for me too!!!
  • I am pregnant with my second and for the last 4 years to include being pregnant with my first I log everyday. I use MFP during this time to ensure that I'm eating 'enough' instead of using it to keep my diet esp since I'm an avid runner I want to make sure I'm fueling my body enough for both myself and my little one...I…
  • CONGRATS on your Little One!!!! You burn approx 20 calories per oz. I logged while I BF for over a year and was down to PP weight very quickly. Create yourself an exercise so you can easily log it. To determine what LO is intaking; pump one side while baby nurses the other. Log it, and MFP should do the rest of the work to…
  • So I'm a bit confused. If you have a dietician they should be able to give you a healthy diet plan to follow, if you ask I'm sure they'll give you an evaluation complete with caloric goals suited for your particular situation. Also your doctor if you've discussed using diet to control your diabetes should def have some…
  • First...CONGRATS TO ALL!!! I've used MFP for almost 4 years - I'm a fitness junkie. This is the second time I'm using this app during pregnancy. It was awesome for my first and while I was BF (burns tons of calories) but while pregnant really helps make certain I eat 'enough'. 6 weeks with my second and I workout 6 days a…
  • PLEASE don't listen to any of that starvation nonsense! This isn't the Sudan! In looking at your diary you're eating a lot of junk...ie: sweets, refined carbs, fast foods and not much fiber at all. Try tightening up what your intake is to fruits, veggies, 'whole' grains and keep away from all the processed stuff full of…
  • I feel ya! I've been told I was too skinny...I've been told I don't eat enough by some, I've been told I eat too often and obsess over what I do eat by others and that I'm obsessive about my working out! You know what I say when somebody negatively comments about my own personal healthy habits that make me happy? "I don't…
  • Rule of thumb should always be that you can't train away a poor diet... I get annoyed with articles that might provoke people to stop working out, there are just too many other benefits other than weight loss. I myself, am tied to working out daily, and the longest I can go w/out is a week. I've tried taking breaks and I…
  • I grow very tired of people not reading what I wrote, again and I quote: "Google the ingredients of Shakeology yourself, it is a combination of a whole mess of things that are AWESOME for your body (Vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fats and proteins). " Google it yourself, this is my opinion, which the original poster…
  • Who said anything about being gluten free? You want to get into a meal high in vitamins, fats, amino acids, start adding some fiber, greens, fruits, avocado, salmon etc. to that hard boiled egg and oatmeal of yours and you're spending more than your $2.
  • I LOVE Shakology, and I think there is a misconception about what it's intended use is. It is not intended nor is it marketed as as a 'weight loss' shake, and it's most definitely NOT a protein supplement! If you're looking for either one of these things Shakeology is not for you at all. Suggest going to your local GNC or…
  • Get a good night sleep thursday and friday. Heavier on carbs thursday protein the Friday before...stay hydrated but not too much! done overthink the run-itself...when the gun goes off, pace yourself comfortably and HAVE FUN!!!!
  • I'm a Beachbody Junkie! I stream it, also have it recorded on my phone to do mid-run. Also daily.hiit.com is free, very very good stuff.
  • congrats and exactly what she said!
  • Stress makes it worse, nursing helped me lose very quickly - but it wont happen over night. I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight and all my clothes in about 6m. It's amazing though what restful sleep, enough water a healthy diet can do to if you can't do anything physical, especially if you have little ones to look after.…
  • Personally as a lifelong runner, and since you asked...my personal opinion is that, jogging is terrible for you. If you're going at a pace that you can walk just as fast, personally I'd walk. Especially if you're new to running. Jogging does nothing for your cardiovascular as your heart rate doesn't get up high enough and…
  • I tracked when I was pregnant, I worked out almost everyday to include the day I had my son. I used MFP to ensure was getting 'enough' ...after I had my son I resumed my workouts and even logged my nursing calories to ensure that I was getting enough calories to support myself and what my body needed to be doing. Let your…
  • I've been running for years, former track athlete. C25K is def the way to start, also with a decent pair of shoes, invest...and keep in mind that no amount of running will help you fix poor food choices.

  • I think you need to be listening to your body and consulting your physical therapist/Dr. and not folks on this site.
  • I used one after I had my son, and it was clutch for me. Not for weight loss but for comfort and stability, made me confident to move and workout, keeping things pulled in and tight, it allowed me to start working out just 3 weeks after I had him...in a way it allowed me to loose weight and get back into shape but it…
  • I love Beachbody programs as I don't live near a gym either. If you're a club member you should be able to try Hammer/Chisel before you purchase online on-demand. If you're not a club member you can do a 30-day free trial and try it that way. The containers are pretty much an overpriced way to sell measuring cups. If you…
  • I'm there with ya girls!!! was sitting at a comfy 122-125 (depending on the day) I gained almost 10lb over Xmas got 5 off, and over my Birthday last week put that 5 back on....culprit is beer when I'm with family... I'm a Cardio Junkie - I really dont have a gym near me either...so if any of you find anything that works,…
  • If anybody is still in this group...After finishing 24 weeks of T25/Hybrid, I've re-energized this program :) am here if you need some support :)
  • I just bake, scoop out and throw whatever leftover sauce I happen to have around, if not some butter and garlic...I have at LEAST 2x a week, esp this time of year!

  • If I think ahead i make popcorn with my air popper, I control what I put on it and I just love munching. If I'm on my way out the door, I grab whatever fruit I have lying around. Clementines are in season, or a handful of peanuts.
