I used to get horrible cramps when I ran and it took me several months of running and jogging regularily before they started to fade. If I eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or during my run I get stomach cramps. I know you're supposed to drink water while working out, but I can't when I run. And now when I do…

I like to keep my routine mixed up, I tend to get bored with workouts very easily! As metioned before, the FIRM is great. I have several VHS and a couple DVDs, most are 30-70 minutes of strength, some add cardio in there too. I love the FIRM, great results! I also do a Leslie Sansone walk, but mine has a one and two mile…

Motivation, now that is something we can both relate too! I always need that! We can email back and forth a few times a week to report on what exercise routine we've been following and if we've stayed on track with our meal plans! Thanks, Steph

Choose a different measurement from the drop down box like oz, or choose a different listing for "turkey breast" in the list of foods. It takes time to get used to finding what your really looking for, but it gets better the more you use the program.

I'm jealous of you! :tongue: Hmmmm, my GOAL weight is your CURRENT weight and we're the same height, I guess I'm not much help to you, I haven't been 140 since 9th grade, and I'm not sure I saw 129 after the age of 12. I know are all have different body types and different goals. :happy: Good luck to you with all of your…

Be sure your sipping WATER: BEFORE, DURING, AFTER workout, maybe mix in a little bit of a sports drink in your water as well. A great snack before and after a workout is a banana and peanut butter sandwich. Two slices of whole wheat bread, 1-2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter and a small/medium banana. Eat half of the…

Or when we lose a couple pounds and our skinny 125 pound friend says, "oh your going to waste away, your getting so skinny!"... Nope I'm sure all 180 pounds of me isn't about to "waste away" anytime soon, and I'm pretty sure you're in no danger of me borrowing all you clothes anytime soon, (or ever, I'll never be 125!)…

I find that a lot of walking and jogging is the vey best thing to reduce my butt and thigh size, with strength a few days a week. I would suggest to keeping up with the strength training, but as prior metioned, don't add too much weight for lower body moves. Do squats and lunges without extra weight for now, and stretch…

Great job! That is really awesome, I'm sure looking forward to the day when I can say that as well! Keep up the good work!

It is disappointing to be making all these healthy changes, but not seeing the results... right away anyway. But keep it up and you WILL have great results. It took me THREE weeks of extra exercise, eating a reduced calorie, healthy, balanced diet before the scale moved. I was upset, but I knew that I couldn't give up and…

Congrats, keep up the good work!:smile:

Ask five nutritionists to rate the 12 most powerful foods…

Most of the videos I do I track under aerobics, high or low impact, depending on how hard the workout is. Aerobics are listed in the mfp exercise log.

I have always been an evening eater. I've tried eating more earlier in the day to fill up, but still feel SO hungry at night. I've tried not eating at all after 7pm. I've tried filling up on protein and fiber throughout the day, but my problem is that I don't feel hungry most of the day and don't really even want to eat…

I do not have my own kids, but am a "professional stay at home mom".... I get up every morning and put on my "uniform" of sweat pants or windpants and sweatshirt and head down the street to another family's home where I become a caregiver for three little boys and housekeeper. I feed, bathe, dress, diaper and play with 3…

I felt the same way this morning. I used to be so enthusiastic and excited to log all my exercise and calories, not so much fun anymore. But that's why we're all here for each other! If I was doing this on my own and didn't have all of you here supporting and encouraging each other, I would have quit given up, gone back to…

I found a couple articles on the topic of heart rate on sparkpeople.com Just enter "target heart rate" in the search box on the top of the home page. Also, have you talked to your doctor about your concerns? You might want to have a physical just be sure your good to go with heart pounding workouts. I just went in recently…

I think I might have to make these this week! They sound good, and so nice to have a chocoolate snack under 100 calories. I don't have the espresso either, I'll probably make a cup of super strong coffee and add a tablespoon of that to the mix.

Just like the rest of us, doctors are humans. They each have their own ideas and opionions, and say and do things based on those personal beliefs. Yes they do have more education on the body, but that doesn't mean they are always right. If you are uncomfortable or have doubts about anything a dr tells you, get a second or…

I LOVE chocolate as well. I have started buying only dark chocolate. If that is all I have around than I'm not tempted to binge on other candies. There are some that are better than others, trial and error to find good ones and not the too dark bitter stuff. I like bars with 35-50% cocoa, and because it's so rich it's…

This happens to me WHILE walking, if I'm walking outside in cooler weather. It also happens to me almost everytime AFTER I walk or run. I just figured it was the increase of blood flow to the muscles and skin.
