How long/often do you workout?
No specific reason, i'm just curious what most people tend to do. My workouts tend to fall between the 30-45 minute range. And depending how i feel, i workout 5-6 times a week.

Back into the workout game
What workout DVD's do you do? I really like aerobic type workouts, Jillian Michaels: Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, for example. I tried HIIT and even though it got me sweating i felt like i just burned out too quickly and it was a bit wasted. Do you have any ideas? So maybe a circuit training, straightforward (no dancing),…

How to keep within calories during long shifts?
I wake up at 6:30am and don't normally go to sleep till about 11-12pm. How can i better keep on track with my calories? A lot more snacks and less full meals? Does anyone else have this problem? It's normally about 4-5 days out of the week that i have this hectic schedule but i can't seem to figure out how to work it out.…

Breakfast is never filling to me?
It doesn't seem to matter if i have a 100 calorie breakfast or a 300 calorie one, i'm always hungry a couple hours later regardless. Does anyone else have this... "problem"? 100- apple 300- 2 eggs, vegetable (like peppers) and a side of fruit

How do YOU get in your fruits and vegetables?
Does anyone do smoothies? I'm not going to lie, i've never been proper about getting in my fruits and vegetables, on a calorie restricted diet, i'm even worse about it. How do you fit them in?

What food scale did you buy?
I never had to use a food scale before, i lost my first 30 pounds with things like measuring cups and just reading my packaging + exercise. But i'm getting down to my last 15 pounds or so and i'm curious if i should buy one.

How do you eat your cottage cheese?
I'm wanting to get more protein into my diet and a lot of people keep recommending cottage cheese. I've personally never had it. A lot keep saying it tastes good with peaches and other fruits. Does anyone eat it in a savory way? Maybe some crackers?

Looking for more friends :)
I've been on MFP for a long time (but never added friends). I started this journey a long time ago, back at 165 pounds and using notebook paper to log my calories. I got to 145 pounds and stayed that way for over a year. So i'm super proud of myself. I joined MFP because i couldn't get out of my 140's zone. I kept losing…

Not always hitting my protein goals
I was looking through my dairy and noticed some days i'm WAY low on my protein. I'm curious if adding a low calorie protein drink would be a bad idea? I work out 6x a week. I do a cardio/aerobic workout 3 days a week (a lot of jump-type moves, burpees, jump rope, running,etc) -45 minutes worth and then do 3 days worth of…

Do you weigh yourself only after rest days?
When you exercise do you normally weigh yourself on a scale only after your rest days. Or do you weigh yourself after a workout day? I ask because weight really fluctuates after you workouts. If i weigh myself before i workout it'll be different after my hour of exercise. So i assume after a rest day my scale is more…

Workout slump...
I always end up pushing myself to workout in the end, but lately i really have not been thrilled with the idea of working out. I'm actually very active in the summer, playing tennis, walking, swimming, hiking, etc. so it's really easy to get in my workout goals for the days. But doing workout videos at home and strength…

What does it mean when you lose inches and not weight?
People always say it's because you're losing fat and gaining muscle. But people keep saying that's a myth. So what exactly is happening? I've been stuck trying to lose my last 20 pounds and i'm going to try and be EXTREMELY strict this week to see if my diet really has something to do with the loss (but i can't seem to…

Should i be doing something different?
I've had such a hard time losing weight since hitting the 140-145 pound zone. Tomorrow will be my 3rd week on my diet and i've lost NOTHING. My first week i lost 5 pounds and since then i've been flucuating between the 5 pounds (lose and gain it) but am extremely relieved to have found out i lost an inch in my waist... I'm…

What workout videos do you do?
As of now i only do Jillian's workout videos: Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, No more trouble zones, 30 day challenge (level 2 & 3) and her kickboxing. Now i personally try to do 45 minutes so i'll combine her smaller workouts together. (ex: 30 day challenge + kicking boxing) What ones do you do? (doesn't need to be…
