Breakfast Protein Suggestions?
I just found out I'm allergic to eggs and dairy. Yay! My two go-to protein sources are nixed. I can improvise at other meals, but breakfast is stumping me. I really need to get some protein in to start the day, or I'm hungry by 9:30. Peanut butter on toast ... smoothie ... what else?

How heavy do you lift?
I'm curious about how heavy (specific #s) some of our successful EMTWLers are lifting, especially bench and squat. I'm working on getting into heavier weights but for now I'm ramping up from here: - Benching 60 (two 30-pound dumbbells), which is up from the 40 (two 20s) I was doing a month ago - My trainer has me doing a…

Have you kept it off? Please share.
There's lots of talk out there about how hard it is to keep off the weight once lost. Studies showing the odds are stacked against us and blah blah. It would be very motivating to hear from some of you MFPeeps who are maintaining your loss. Have you kept off your weight for over 3 months? What are your tips for successful…

Exercise Video Downloads -- files, not DVDs?
I travel with a laptop that does not have a disk drive (it's a MacBook Air). I would love to download some workouts, especially with body-weight exercises suitable for a hotel room workout, but I'm coming up dry on options for podcasts or other downloads. Anyone have a resource for this? I'm sure this area will expand in…

Starvation mode? really?
I get 1,200 calories a day, and if I go under by even one calorie, I get the warning about not eating enough and starvation mode. If I'm eating at or just above 1,200 most days, do I really need to worry about this? Today I'm at 1,138 and it scolded me. FWIW, most days this is not an issue because I exercise and eat some…

Can't imagine a better NSV
Three months ago I started MFP and working out regularly. Part of my inspiration was a pre-diabetic reading I got on an hbA1c test, which indicates your average blood sugar for the last three months. I am at high risk for Type 2 diabetes due to family history and being mildly overweight. So after 90 days of really good…

Confused by calorie counts -- what do you think this workout
MFP says 203 calories for 60 minutes of weight training. But if I enter it as circuit training, it says 643 calories. How can I get closer to a real calorie number for this workout: 5 minutes of treadmill warmup 20 minutes of abs work (ball crunches, plank, bridges, 3 sets of each) 50 kettle bell swings 15 squats w/20…
