how do you log 30 Day Shred? Circuit Training?

Thanks piercedee! I used to do a variety of sports and even when I was in top physical shape I could never run a mile due to asthma, and throwing in a bad knee, its a severe trigger for me. I can do sprints no problem so my plan is to start doing intervals of walking and sprinting to build up some tolerance. Unfortunately…

Thanks dwalt15110! I have several vitamin levels tested every year due to low numbers in the past, and my vitamin D is almost to a normal level, I've been taking D3 for probably 3 years now? My mom has had some really whacky vitamin levels in the past so I try to keep an eye on certain ones with my doctor. I will…

Hey CarlydogsMom, I'm just getting a chance to read your comment, crazy work week! Thank you so much for your support. I actually do live on my own (well, with roommates), in a major city that's about 2 hours from my dad and about 4 hours from my mom, but I see and speak to them regularly as my mom travels a lot and my…

Lizzy622 - can I ask what the downsides are to the raw cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower? I don't eat much of any of those, but I am curious to know why you avoid them. thanks!

My mom and grandfather are both hypoglycemic, and I am borderline. I have to eat usually every 2-3 hours, which is making it really difficult to diet! What've found is that for me, its worse during the day when I am at work, so I typically eat breakfast at work around 8:30, have a snack between 10 and 10:30, I go to lunch…

it took me forever to actually like this yogurt, but the pomegranate is my favorite.

I actually have this issue as well, but not as severe. My bottom rib on the left side also has to be readjusted frequently where it meets my spine by chiropractor - that may be part of the pain you are having. I would definitely have it checked out.

thanks guys! I feel better today ... except I have to actually place the dress order this afternoon, haha. I vow to be in better shape when the wedding comes!

I try to spread my calories out through the day, like for instance today I brought a sandwich, fruit cup, and yogurt for lunch. I'll eat the sandwich and fruit cup, but save the yogurt for later on in the day, so that I'm still eating my "lunch" calories, but later in the day, so its taking place of my afternoon snack…

I'm 5'2 and I've always had a compact, muscular build. I've pretty much excepted that the lowest weight I can get down to without starving myself and going crazy on the exercise is about 125 - I'm at about 135 right now. I'd be happy to be 129-130. I too go by sizes, and I'm currently a 6, but a few jeans are little tight…

definitely protein! I always notice on days that I have something like chicken for lunch, versus a sandwich, I stay feeling full alot longer.

There's an article in the latest Cosmo about how a study that was done on how BC relates to muscle tone, showing that it is harder to gain and keep muscle tone while on the pill, it was very interesting. Since being on the pill, I've gained a few pounds, but more likely because I am at a more sedentary job now. I did…

hahaha yea ... this is my second desk job, the first one I had very set break times and lunch hour, and where I worked was on a very large piece of property that was mostly undeveloped, so I spent both breaks and half of my lunch hour walking. now, I'm cramming all the stuff I need to do personally into my lunch hour,…

thanks everyone!

I also use ortho tri cyclen lo - mainly for skin problems, but I've liked it thus far, used that one for almost a year. I haven't noticed any significant weight gain from it.

anyone willing to give me some boy advice off the boards? I will be forever grateful, lol.

i would get all the info for each item, add it all together, estimate how many cups it made, and then estimate your serving.

great idea! I'm 23, 5'2, weight is 130, trying to get back down to 125. what I really could use is a buddy on here! send me a message if you're interesting - I'm funny if nothing else, I swear, hahaha :laugh:

I just use the calorie counter, but I tend to eat the same or similar breakfast and lunches during the week, so it makes it easy just to save those as my own meals. I also try to plan what I'm going to have for dinner earlier in the day, so that I enter most of my food in the morning, and know what's left over for snacks…

I first joined MFP back in March, about a month before I moved to a different state. Prior to joining MFP, I lost 4 pounds on my own, and then after joining MFP, I had gotten down to my goal weight by the middle of June. I was so motivated before, I watched everything I ate, exercised every day for 30 minutes. Then in the…

thanks everyone!

hey all, so I've been working at this job for about 2 months, and I like it, but its mainly me sitting in front of a computer for most of the day. I am really slacking on the exercise, and I was wondering if any of you out there who are in the same position have some suggestions? I get an hour lunch so I try to take a 30…

I would definitely say to only weigh yourself once a week, if that. it also depends on when you are weighing in - its best to do it in the morning, without clothes on, after you've been to the bathroom. remember that b/w water retention and food intake, you can go up or down a couple of pounds during the day.

I'm in! put 4 pounds back on (stupid breakup making me eat!), and I'm determined to lose them again!

it took me almost 2 months to lose anything, so hang in there! one thing that I found for me that really worked was to stick to an eating schedule. I would bring X amount of food to work, and I would eat every 2 hours, saving calories for dinner and a snack. its important to eat consistently. sometimes I would skip eating…

I started looking up menu choices not long after I joined here in the spring, it has made things so much easier. even now that I'm trying to maintain my weight, I usually will look up a restaurant, or try to have a dish in mind when I go. A huge calorie saver is to only eat half and take the rest home, whether you split it…

you definitely should weigh yourself first thing in the morning, after the bathroom trip, haha, with no clothing, to get the most accurate weight.

mine actually is the opposite ... I started having serious acne problems about 2 yrs ago, and I noticed that within the last few weeks (i've been on here for about 4 weeks), things have cleared up alot.

woohooo! I lost my first pound! I'm going into my third week on here, and I've already lost inches, but stepping on that mean scale and seeing a pound gone is such a great feeling! Take that scale! haha. good luck to everyone this week, we can do it!
