ON vs. PES Select vs. Cellucor vs. Other?
Okay, so I am coming to the end of my ON GS 100% Whey tub and I was looking to try something new! Overall, out of the brands I have tried, I like ON and it is a good price point. However, if another brand tasted better with similar (or better) stats, I would be willing to pay a higher price. There are more high quality,…

Determining Factor of Realistic Weekly Goal? BF% vs. Weight
So I know that most new folks on MFP like to select a loss of 2lbs per week and do not take into consideration if it is realistic for them or not. Many people tote the advice that if you are X weight you should not be aiming for a 2lbs/week loss. This always made sense to me. However, I was doing some reading this week and…

Gym Suggestions for Heavy Lifting?
Hello all, I am going to be looking into a gym membership in order to begin a lifting routine. Anyone have any suggestions on gyms with good weight sections as well as knowledgable trainers to help me with form, etc.? Any help would be much appreciated. <3 Thanks! :)

How?
The scale says I am over 150lbs! That is more than my MFP starting weight. :( Yet, my starting pants are still big on me... I'm not really sure how that happened. Not that I am complaining, I'm just confused. How can I have gained around 10lbs from where I was, be above my starting weight, and still fit into smaller pants?…

New with a Few Questions/Concerns :)
Hello all! You seem like a great, friendly group of people. I've been a lurker for a long time now. I was waiting to start until I started a heavy lifting program to really get into this mentality, but it no longer looks like that will be happening any time soon as I do not have access to a gym. :( So, I have a few…

Help! Chesty Gals/Runners
I need some tips on sports bra shopping. After reading yet another thread on the boards, I decided to finally head to D-I-C-K's Sporting Goods and try some stuff on. I was disappointed that the expensive bras didn't seem to hold me in any better than my uni-over-the-head cheap sports bras :( Am I supposed to try on a cup…

Protein Shake Concerns
I was thinking of working protein shakes into my regimen since I am now more concerned with reducing bodyfat, building muscle, and toning rather than weight loss. I have been led to believe that protein is important for these goals when you are weight training and that MFP's default levels are low. However, I have become…

Strange NSV
I was hesitant in sharing, but finally decided to post. Not sure if anyone here will know what I'm talking about or just think I'm crazy, but here it goes... I have armpit definition and I am ridiculously excited about it! :D After I hit goal, I noticed it while putting on deodorant and actually having an awkward time.…

Question Regarding Today's Diary
Hmmm so I was going to only allow myself that last snack (the low fat fudge bar) later tonight. However, am I too far under calories? I got a warning saying as much... But I'm already way over on protein and eating more would just put me over on other stats as well. This has brought an entire new predicament to my…

Yipee for Working Out!
Is it bad that I only worked out so I could eat more? LOL It has only been 2 days of eating better, but I find that I am very very hungry even after reaching my allowance cap. I feel a lot more refreshed after doing it and I'm sure it is good that I did it, but I'm thinking maybe I should have wanted to workout for more…

Need to Lower Carb Intake
So, according to my whole whopping one day of tracking. I need to lower my carb intake. I know it would only be worse on a regular day (I woke up at 11am today, which is not normal for me at all). However, I've read online that low in carb means higher in fat and I cannot really handle that trade-off as my cholesterol is…

New to MFP and Looking Forward to Progress!
Hi all, I heard about MFP through another internet site I am part of. It was recommended as a way to track your intake, etc. I have found it extremely easy to use so far (a HUGE plus). Well I just wanted to introduce myself. I am looking forward to having some before/after pics of my own someday! :D Edit: I just realized…
