Thighs getting...bigger with increased workouts
I workout at least 50min 5 days per week. I either run outside or I do circuit training workout video's such as Jillian Michaels "No More Trouble Zones" or "Banish Fat Boost Metabolism". My normal/goal weight is 125. I started a profile on MFP because my weight had crept up to 130 and I wanted to stop gaining weight before…

Heart Rate too high? Max 214 during 6 mile run.
I'm training for a marathon & am trying to increase my running speed. I'm pushing it pretty far, but today my HRM (I have a Polar F-6) read a max HR of 214! I'm confused as to if this is even possible and if there are any health risks involved. Any input is appreciated. Candace @ http://infitation.wordpress.com/

Pellegrino as Daily Water Intake
I love Pellegrino and Perrier. It's just sparking mineral water with bubbles so it can count as my water intake right? I know this might seem like a dumb question but I just wanted to make sure there aren't any drawbacks to it.

P90 X- Calorie Burn on Plyometrics
I wore my HRM for the first time while doing the P90X Plyometrics workout today and it totaled my calorie burn at 430. I know that that is a reasonable calorie burn but I feel like it should be more than that. I also do Jillian Michaels Circuit training videos and I burn about that many calories, but P90X Plyo seems way…

BeachBody - Brazilian Butt Lift
Just wondering how those of you that do 'Brazilian Butt Lift' video's log the workout. Specifically the 'high & tight' workout (boy do I feel cheesy writing that). I've been putting it under aerobics. It's a difficult workout but it doesn't really blast the heart rate like circuit training.

I think I'm Obsessed
I know this isn't necessarily a bad thing if I want to reach my goal, but I'd just like to get a feel for how much everyone thinks about their weight loss journey. I myself am completely consumed - to the point where I am distracted. I'm currently working on my Masters thesis, but I can hardly concentrate on it because I…

Running Outside in the Summer - Do you burn more cals?
I've been running a 4 mile trail since January, but now that it's summer...in Texas, it is sooo much more difficult to run in it the heat! We're talkin' 95 - 100 degree average. My question is, am I burning more calories because of the heat? It sure feels like it.

Wine...
Ok, so here's the deal.... I can go all day eating really healthy and then there's dinner time and I end up drinking wine...and not just one glass, more like a bottle. So if I drink a few/a lot of glasses of vino and I'm still under my calorie count, is that still on track? Honestly wine is my "Achilles Heel". I could go…

New Military Wife
Hi everyone. I am really happy to have discovered MFP, and I am really excited to utilize this new weight-loss tool to help me reach my goals. I've struggled with my weight since high school, suffering from a mild eating disorder and then a rapid weight gain of 40lbs my senior year. Although I lost most of the extra 40lbs,…
