HRM and volleyball question
I'm getting ready to play in a semi-competitive volleyball league in the upcoming weeks and I would like to wear my HRM while playing, but it's a chest strap with a watch. I cannot play volleyball with a watch on my arm. The monitor I have is a cheap one, but it's functional and it's what I could afford. Buying a new one…

Help! I think I'm all protein'ed out!
I tried to make sure I hit my goal of 40% of my calories being protein yesterday and I went a little overkill, ended up with 54%. Usually I end up having between 15-25% of my calories from Protein... I've noticed if I have too many carbs (40-50% of daily calories) I don't lose weight/inches, even with exercise. So I know…

Gazelle modification?
Ok, so YEARS ago, I bought a Gazelle (the one Tony Little promoted). I was a broke college kid and needed something to do at home when I couldn't get to the gym. It was in storage until last week when I decided to dig it out because now I'm a broke adult that needs something to do since I can't get to a gym most nights.…

Starting to feel hopeless
If I seem like I'm whining, I'm really not trying to... I just don't know what to do... and sorry it's so long. So I have been struggling with my weight for as long as I can remember... I'm 5'6'' and at my healthiest in college (playing volleyball with 3 hour practices 5 days a week, plus tournament play for 12-15 hours a…

Belly fat....
Ok, I was doing really well (for me) with my weight loss journey, 10 lbs down in 2 months, then we played the cold carousel in my house and I got two turns! And I recently had a medical situation that meant I couldn't follow my previous diet and exercise regime. So my train was completely derailed. I'm currently only 28…

how do you divide your calories?
A random question I just thought of.... How do you all divide up your calories between meals and snacks? More specifically, do you find that you eat more calories for one meal than others, or are you pretty even across the board? After looking at my food journal I notice I eat about even caloric amounts for breakfast,…

Protein bar, how do you stomach them?!
Ok, so I bought Pure Protein bars in Peanut butter flavor at the recommendation of a friend. I'm second guessing their opinion now. They taste horrible! Is there some tip to make them more paletable? I don't want to just throw them away. I'm to the point I'm thinking about cutting it up really really small and taking the…

Exercise program rec's?
So I am looking for some recommendations for a workout program. I have a gym membership and enjoy going, but I feel like I need to do more to really get the results I want (I'm looking to lose 40lbs, ideally I'd love to lose 50). I have a friend who is doing the couch to 5k program and is saying good things about it, but…

Getting started question
So I've been playing around with fitnesspal for a few months, but seriously started tracking this week. So far, so good. I'm on a 1200 calorie diet and I'm exercising whenever I can, but at least 3 hours a week. My question is I noticed when I have calories left over (always my exercise calories), the program tells me I'm…
