Neck pain & cardio
I woke up with the stiffest neck (as in I can't look up or sidewaya) and it still hurts. I still want to get my work outs in, though. Logically I would assume working out would help circulation and help my muscles loosen. Anyone ever have this problem? Thoughts?

Squash? What do I even do
Ok. I just bought a butternut squash and I'm going to *try* my hand at making spaghetti squash. I saw that you could throw it in the crockpot with some water and cook it on low all day. Other recipes are telling me I should bake it instead. Does anyone have any tips for me? Do you think slow cooking it is appropriate? I…

Logging additional cals?
Hey guys- I have had the Fitbit flex for a while, but just synced it with MFP. I use my heart rate monitor already to log my work-outs, and am wondering if it would be a double log if I kept Fitbit synced with MFP? What do you guys do? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I just don't want to double log everything.

friends!!!
Hi!! I'm looking for encouraging and supportive MFP friends! I'm not trying to use MFP like a dating website, I just want friends that allow me to be held accountable. Please send me a request if you are looking for the same and want to support one another in pursuit of a healthier lifestyle!

Quest Bars & Protein?
I have a serious protein sensitivity. I can taste it in everything I eat so bars and powders are hard to get into... but I know i need them especially during my long runs . I recently have discovered quest bars- and they aren't too bad. I already enjoy the Luna bars... but was wondering if anyone has recommendations on…

Burning more calories than you eat?
I've been doing some research on different weight loss techniques (when to eat, what to eat, how much to eat etc) and I keep coming across the same statement everywhere I go: "Losing weight is a simple mathematical formula: You need to burn more calories than you eat. Experts generally recommend creating a deficit of 500…

Sweatpants -- Need help
I am looking for work-out sweats. I hated nappytabs, and I usually just wear Zumba stuff. I'm trying to branch out to the (lower cost) sweat pants. I love the Adidas ones because they are tight at top, and baggie in the legs. Anyone have any brands/websites they use for pants similar to nappytabs?

Flab be gone!
Hello folks: I'm normally not one of those braggers, but I am now only 3.5 pounds away from reaching my goal weight. I started my journey at a scary 185 pounds. I say scary not because I was overweight, but because I really damaged my heart by eating the way I was eating. I have mitrovalve prolapse (which is common-- I'm…

SOS - Abs!
Ok, I am *almost* at my goal weight, so I am limiting the amount of cardio I was doing, and am incorporating more strength training. My issue is, every part of my body is really starting to get toned.. but I can't, for the life of me, get rid of this small band of fat on my belly. The abs are there! I have 2, but the…

Have I reached the end?
So, I have to go shopping on Tuesday.. nothing fits anymore. I mean, during Christmas I purchased a size 8 pair of pants that I couldn't fit into. I was determined to make them fit one day. Now, even they are way to loose. I started out as a size 12. I wonder what size I am now. I'm not sure if I should just buy a few…

Advice needed.
My boyfriend comes home December 20th, I haven't seen him in half a year because he's in the military. His younger brother wants to come with me to pick him up from the airport, but I really wanted to go alone .. Is that rude? What would you do? Be selfish, or let him come with.. I'm so conflicted.

Odd?
So, I was at the gym tonight and I couldn't get my heart rate above 130.. didn't matter how hard I worked, I think I peaked at 140... and if you know me, I normally am within the 150-170 range every single work out. Afterwards, my skin was freezing to the touch, I didn't even feel hot during the work out. what the heck?

Ideal weight
Does anyone know the best possible way of determining what you're "ideal weight" should be? Other than calling up my doctor, I wonder if there is some information online that could help me out? I hate sifting through the hundreds of pages Google gives me. I actually have no idea how much I'm "suppose" to weigh at my…

Athlete's hypothermia?
Alright folks, I did my fair share of Googling before I posted this topic (I try not to annoy people with stupid questions) however, I can't find a suitable answer.
