Fell off the wagon ugh
I've been doing so well for a couple of years. I'm doing it slow and eating slightly below maintenance. Boom. Summer hits and I am slacking big time. All the BBQ's and pool time and beer and here comes 10 pounds back from the 30 I've lost. I've still been exercising regularly but you seriously can't outrun your fork,…

Juicing?
My husband thinks that juicing is much better than eating fruits and veggies. I eat my fruits and vegetables daily and track my calories. My husband is a terrible eater but thinks since he juices, this will help with his health. He always asks me if I want a juice but I decline because I don't like drinking my calories and…

Am I lightly active or moderately active?
On the tdee calculator, the options are lightly active (exercise 1-3 days a week) or moderately active (exercise 3-5 days a week). So I exercise 3 days a week. What am I? I do body pump and Zumba back to back 2 days a week and Zumba on Saturday.

Quest Bars
I read somewhere on MFP that these were great and I ordered some of the double chocolate chunk on Amazon. I ate one after my first group class today and about 10 minutes into my second class, I had to leave due to stomach upset. It was awful. Needless to say, I will be giving these away. Anyone else have this issue?

Anyone take snacks to the gym?
Due to a new work schedule, I am now taking 2 classes back to back at the gym. When I did this the other day, I realized I had burned up my breakfast in my first class and was hungry by the time my second class rolled around. I have to have something on my stomach. Does anyone take snacks to the gym? I wonder if that's…

Knee issue
I twisted my knee in a class last week and I have a little fluid on it. What's the best remedy? I've been elevating and icing it. I've lowered my intensity in my fitness class. Do I need to get it drained?

My day is made!
I am in my forties. I had kids late and they are 6 and 3 (boys). Anyway, I was talking to a lady this morning and she asked how old my kids were. I told her and she said, "well, it's a good thing you're in such good shape so you can keep up with them!" Wait, what? Was she talking to me? Good shape?!!!! I haven't heard that…

Crashing after workout
I have been super tired lately after my cardio workout to the point where I have to take a nap for an hour or two. I eat a banana and 2 boiled eggs about an hour before and a protein shake after. I've increased my intensity a little but I wouldn't think I would crash so hard. Anyone else ever dealt with this? Help me fix…

What shows do you watch while treadmilling etc?
I normally do group fitness because the treadmill and elliptical bore me to tears but I can last longer on them with a good show. So I'm interested in some good shows! Currently, I'm watching Wentworth and I love it!

Maybe this scale is accurate

What's on your headphones?
What do you listen to while working out? I listen to Howard Stern or some podcasts like Adam Carolla or Half Size Me. Just looking for other ideas. I do listen to music but find that the time goes by quicker with a podcast or Stern.

Zumba calories burned
I just took a Zumba class and wore my Polar chest strap HRM. It said I burned 672 calories for the hour! Is that possible?!! It was so fun!

My exercise calories from yesterday
My exercise calories from yesterday (that I did not eat) are on my diary for today. Is that a new update or does MFP have a glitch this morning?

Ugh, I blew it
I have been so good since January. My weight loss has been slow but I have changed the way my body looks through lifting and I've never felt better. These past couple of weeks, I got in a funk and had way too many cheat days. I slacked on going to the gym and I gained back a couple of pounds. I am so mad at myself but I'm…

Weight lifting and I'm freaking starving
I have been doing mainly cardio and a cardio/weight class since January. I've lost some weight and toned up a bit. I eat the same things and stay around 1350 calories. I go over here and there but I finally realized the whole "it's a marathon, not a sprint" thing so I don't beat myself up about it. My problem is, I have…

Accuracy of the Polar HRM with the chest strap
I did a cardio with weights class this morning and my HRM said I burned 437 calories for the hour. I immediately did a 3 mile walk after that and it said I burned 387 ?? Am I burning more calories from the walk because I just did that class right before? Are these things accurate?

What's the deal with pasta
Do you weigh it, then cook it? Or cook it, then weigh it?
