Newbie...sort of :)
I'm 34 & just delivered my second child 3 weeks ago. I've been sort of in & out of MFP over the past couple of years but I'm determined to buckle down to get this baby weight off. I weighed somewhere around 250 at delivery, dropped to 223.5 after delivery & after 3 weeks at home I'm at 214.5. I love my FitBit & it really…

Newbie - to eat exercise calories or to not?
I'm "restarting" after a loooong time of being off MFP. Should I be eating my fitness calories back since I'm just starting or is that something more designed for down the road?

More uses for hummus?
I've been enjoying Aldi's roasted red pepper hummus with some wheat thins. Any other ways to use it other than a dip? It's so good!

Energy to work out is needed
I realize I'd have to consult with my doctor prior to taking anything, but can anyone point me in the direction of a good energy supplement to help me? The "catch" is that DH & I are currently TTC so I can't just take anything. I'm wondering if there is anything natural you can suggest & I can ask my doctor about it? TIA.

Here I go again...
I'm tired of starting over. Due to a recent health issue I gained a lot of weight back that I lost about a year after having DS2. I haven't weighed again but I am suspecting I am back around 200 lbs. I'm a stress eater & there's been plenty of that lately. As everyone is, I'm a busy parent. Work, church, family, errands,…

Funny question at the gym :D
I often wear funny/quirky tee's & I was wearing one at the gym that actually belongs to my husband. It has a light switch on it & says "Amish Gone Wild". :bigsmile: A lady in the locker room at my gym said "Are you from Pennsylvania?" I said, "Pardon?" I was thoroughly confused. She pointed to my shirt & said, "Are you…

Don't have time to exercise?
I read this article on RunnersWorld.com today. It sure kicked my tail into finding the time to exercise & also kicked my "excuses" to the curb. :blushing: Article - On her drive to work most mornings, Sheri Piers calls her best friend, Kristin Barry, to plan where and when they're going to run that afternoon. Nothing…

Beginner gym routine?
I've decided to get a gym membership. I'm intimidated because I don't know exactly what I should be doing. I've Googled & looked for basic beginner gym exercises for women but it all seems too advanced. I want to walk in the gym & go to the weights/machines, work out right & follow my routine. Is there any web site or…

Interview Goof - advice please
My husband interviewed for a job today & when they asked him why he wanted to change jobs he told them he was tired of the commute & wanted to spend more time with our son. :sick: His current job & his new prospect are approximately the same distance apart. We just went over this last night. He wanted to say because he…

MFP & excersise tracking?
MFP logs my calories burned by cardio but it doesn't show any burned for lifting weights, crunches or using machines. I know it's silly but I am burning calories while doing those exercises too right? Why doesn't MFP log them or at least give me a chance to log them?

My pet peeve at work is -
My company takes yard waste & clean pallets & turns it into mulch for the community. Depending on what material is used, it could look entirely different from one day to the next.When I tell our customers over the phone that we sell mulch & they ask what it looks like. "Is it light brown? Is it chunky? Is it fine?" *sigh*…
