Finals are killing my diet and exercise plan!
Oh my gosh! I was hoping that I would be able to stay on track with finals- I am back on track over the last few days but last weekend completely got away from me! So- I am making a goal for the next week; the most stressful part of my finals week is done and I have a little more time so I will try and stick to mostly…

2nd Round Insanity folks?
I finished Insanity a few weeks ago and was thinking about doing it again. I was interested in hearing about others who had and how their second round results were. I didn't have quite the result I was hoping for in the first round (second month actually) but I thought I would track my calories more closely, try to clean…

Tired...advice?
Hello out there! I was hoping to get some ideas about what I need to do increase my overall energy levels. I probably have eaten too many carbs lately but not much else is different.

short jog, breakfast, STARVING
Good Morning! Some days even when my job was short and I have already had breakfast (today an egg and whole wheat toast), I am sooo hungry still. What do you do? I like to listen to my body- and it seems actually hungry! But I want to keep it to a healthy calorie goal today since I only did a short jog. What do you eat to…

fitness rut- ideas
Hello MFPers! Happy Friday! So I just completed Insanity which I enjoyed (but didn't have that amazing of results) and feel aimless now. I am not a good runner but I have been doing some jogging and while I can stick to a plan very well I am not very good at doing my own free weight kind of routine. I kinda tried some…

Frustrated with Insanity results!
So I have just finished Insanity and have to say that I think I feel good about completing the program but am so frustrated and disappointed with the results. My fit test shows almost no improvement from the end of month one and some I even did worse on. In the second month I lost about 1.5 inches and gained a pound. I was…

overall crappy/run down feeling
Hello all! I was just hoping to get some ideas about what may be missing from my diet...or maybe I need to just go to the doctor??? So I finished finals on Friday and was pretty run down and tired after that. I am on my last week of Insanity so that may contribute a little bit but I just don't feel quite right. I feel kind…

how hard is my body working when I...
This is kind of strange perhaps...I do not yet have a HRM so I was wondering if our bodies are working harder when the same exercise feels harder- let me give the situation for clarity. Today I was doing my Insanity workout and it was particularly difficult. Harder than most days- I felt like I had to rest more than usual.…

hoping for ideas re: insanity results
Thanks for reading my thread here... During my first month of Insanity I lost about 3-4 lbs and about 4 inches. I have now finished the second week of month 2 and seem to have gained back about 2 and no measurable loss otherwise. I am not that concerned about a few pounds I just thought I would see amazing results during…

vegetarians and trying wheat free
Hello! I am starting to read Wheat Belly and considering trying removing wheat from my diet. Has anyone had much experience with this? What did you eat without meat? Results? Does it work to just cut out larger more obvious sources rather than completely cutting it out? Thanks for your thoughts!

I just ate...still hungry!!!
Hey fellow MFP'ers! Sometimes even when I have had a full and healthy meal- I find myself still hungry very soon after. Right now for example- I had veggie laden scrambled eggs with avocado, hash browns, fruit and fresh vegetable juice. I also have had 2 glasses of H20 since then and I am very hungry. I have practically…

a lunch solution for busy people + some protein
Hello MFPers! I always see posts about quick lunch ideas, eating healthy on a budget, and protein. So I just wanted to share one of my favs for this predicament. As a grad student I try to be budget conscious, never have enough time, always trying to be healthy, and always need more protein. I love to eat/take to school…

Does lessening focus on weight loss work best for some?
Hi MFPs! So over the last few days I decided to just give it a rest- it is my holiday break, I have parties to go to, will be out of town... So I decided to stop logging and stop thinking so much about what to eat when and a snack here and there with protein powder these days blah blah blah. After months of working hard…

Hello! I have a fairly healthy diet and do exercise (not as much as I would like to thanks to lack of time).

more starvation mode...but I am pretty little
Hi folks! I was just thinking about how to increase my loss and was hoping to get some input- a vote perhaps. I maintain about 1200 per day (give and take a little) and do some exercise. I know many feel that 1200 is not enough calories- I am 4'11 and about 120lbs., size 4ish if that helps you understand my build at all.…

Hello! So I just enjoyed my first protein powder shake and logged; mfp shows the calories but none of the protein! Do I really have to look up the info and enter it in another way? Can you do that? Thanks!
