The Hate Against ViSalus
I have been on MFP for about 2 years now and have always put a lot of stock in to what people on these message boards have to say. I lost about 40 pounds my first time around with MFP just by working out and eating healthy - except that I started out on Jenny Craig for the first month. I lost 12 pounds and that then…

Just Dance 2 - A Breakdown
Hey everyone! So I received Just Dance 2 as a Christmas present this year and absolutely fell in love with it. I have been dancing for the past 2 days with my Polar F6 HRM on and have seen some serious calorie burn each day! Here are my results so far: Thursday - 460 calories for 58 minutes of play Friday - 560 calories…

Eat Clean Diet - Protein Powder?
I am looking for a really good protein powder that fits the Eat Clean Diet standards, and am wondering what all of you use? I am looking for a Vanilla flavor, or really an unflavored would be good too! Thanks, all! :)

Meal Planning Peeps?
So I am a MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) mom and one of the girls in my group was working on her family's dinner menu during our last meeting. It got me thinking that I would like to start doing that, and so far I have the entire month of February planned out. Yay! Almost all of the dinners are healthier than their…

Hubby Gaining Weight :/
So my husband just got out of the Marine Corps in December of last year, and since that time (and even a few months before he got out) he has been eating more and exercising less. I've noticed lately that he is putting on some weight. It's not much, but it looks strange on him because he's 6'3" and has a VERY skinny frame.…

Toned After Baby?
This is a question for all of you fit mommies out there! I have a 22 month old, am 5'4" and currently weigh 138-140 pounds and I want to lose 10 more and tone up. I've cornered the whole cardio workout thing, but I REALLY need a good toning program! I've done the 30 Day Shred all the way through before, and I didn't notice…

The Importance of Protein?
So I am trying to LOSE weight, and I bought a vanilla protein powder (which I plan to mix with water, not milk) that has low sugar and only has about 140 calories per scoop. I am doing a lot of cardio (for example, I'm about to do my Just Dance 2 routine in a few minutes) and I am wondering if drinking a protein shake…

Ouch! Foot pain for a runner = not good!
So lately I have restarted a running regimen, VERY light (those of you familiar with C25k, I am on W1D2, so nothing crazy). I do a chair aerobics class on Monday and Wednesday, run on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, and have started doing Zumba on Saturdays. I noticed yesterday after Zumba that the tops of my feet all the…

30 Day Shred May 30th - June 30th Support
Anybody starting the 30 Day Shred on Sunday? Mine is coming in the mail and I ABSOLUTELY cannot wait to start until the 1st, so I am starting on the 30th! I couldn't find a support group for those dates (though let's be honest, I lack the patience to search very hard) so I am starting one! First question for those of you…

Calorie Confused...
I purchased some De Cecco Whole Wheat Spaghetti and realized that on the box, it says the serving size is 2 ounces. It does NOT say if this is 2 ounces cooked or dry, and obviously the weight is different before and after cooking. I checked De Cecco's website to see if they clarified this there, and they still only say "2…

I just wanted to share some pictures with all of my wonderful fellow MFPers...this has been a long journey and I am so grateful for every moment that I have put into losing the weight and getting in shape. Let's get started with the first pic, shall we? I was 180 pounds in this picture...the heaviest I have ever been and…

The P Word :x
So I posted this in my status, but I wanted to post it here to get more opinions: The dreaded P word is here - PLATEAU! Booooo...hissss....someone help! I am only 5 pounds away from my goal weight...I'm doing the 30 Day Shred everyday, eating my exercise calories (and sometimes even going over...oops) This whole thing is…

Healthy Menu Revamp! Need some help :)
Okay fellow MFPers, after looking at the crazy amount of sugar in just about everything I have been eating (think: processed) I have decided to completely revamp my diet! I'm thinking just about everything fresh...still going to use frozen veggies, but everything ELSE fresh. So! Here is my shopping list for tomorrow when I…

Need some motivation here :(
Soooo, I have been doing 30 Day Shred for 3 days now and have been eating a fresher, healthier diet since Sunday. I don't know if this is just a fluke and has nothing to do with any of what I'm doing, but I am noticing that when I stepped on the scale this afternoon, I was 138 pounds! Now, I know it's the afternoon. I know…

Pancake Breakfast!!!
So...breakfast.:grumble: Breakfast for me is usually a packet of oatmeal and some soy milk and then I go about my day. Since my husband is deployed, this is about all the cooking I usually want to do, and it's suited me just fine for the 7 months he's been gone so far. Well, I have been wanting to start a "Pancake Sunday"…

How have YOUR eating habits changed?
I have been on this weight loss/lifestyle change journey since January now, and I must say that I have noticed an INCREDIBLE difference in the way that I eat now compared to my "fat days". :bigsmile: For example, I have changed not only what I eat but how often I eat. I used to eat a huge breakfast...two or three bowls of…

Think he'll notice?
Nevermind, I can't get the pictures to load :sad: :sad: :sad:

Ha! Take that!
So this is slightly immature, but I wanted to share a little personal victory with all of my fellow MFPers... There is a woman who used to be a very close friend of mine...she is slightly younger than me, and through one way or another we ended our friendship and now she (apparently) loathes me. That's a little backstory!…

When he left for this deployment, I was 178lbs...and now I am 138lbs!!! 40lbs lost and I am so excited for him to come home and see me!!! I am doing this for me, but let's…

Cheat Days
Do you give yourself a cheat day every week? Or do you only give yourself one a month/biweekly/etc? I am a consultant for a direct sales company and I worked a booth at a county fair this weekend...I ate fair food just about every day during the whole 4 days and somehow...I am DOWN a pound! I swear, every time I take a…

1/2 Weight in Water???
I have read on here several times that people are attempting to drink half of their weight in water per DAY...now I dunno about you, but I weigh 140 pounds and I JUST don't see how it's going to be possible to drink 70lbs of water per day!!! Obviously you'd have to break it down to ounces, but I worked it out that I'd have…
