Mind over matter
Hi all, During a nausea-inducing killer workout today a question popped into my head ... how do others push themselves through the tough parts of workouts.

Canned Tuna, diet food or enjoyable?

Quest Bar Conundrum
I previously was quite addicted to Quest Bars, my favourite being Cookies and Cream. However, I just went and purchased a new box and noticed that the calorie count printed on the nutritional info had jumped up. All the Macro's and ingredients were the same so I was quite perplexed. So of course I started googling this…

Pregnant - goal settings?
Hi to all the pregnant women using MFP. When did you change your settings from maintain weight to gain weight during pregnancy. I am currently 11 weeks and have my settings set to maintain weight. I figure I would change it to gain 0.5 or 1 pound a week starting at 13 weeks? I haven't gained anything yet and figured that…
