I'm back and confused.
I was faithful to MFP and lost 43 lbs. I started when my third dd was still breast feeding. I was able to log that and it would subtract 500 from my in take. I am back and bfing number four and when I log the bfing it says -500 but does not change the totals. Has something changed or is it just because I have been mostly…

Shoulder issues??? Please help.

Mini Muffin Pans
If you don't own one you should. This has been the best thing for me to get a taste of dessert without going over. I have started using them for so many recipes (muffins, brownie bites, mini cupcakes). The only warning is because they are so popable you have to pay attention to how many you eat. I just made a box of…

Pot roast w/ veggies?
Just curious. We frequently have beef or pork pot roast with carrots, onions, celery, and potatoes. We like the veggies so we usually go pretty heavy on them to the point that we often have leftover veggies but not meat. I have no clue how to log when I just eat the veggies because the meat cooks with them so that adds…

After being sick?
Ok, so I had the dreadful stomach bug early this week (Sun. night through Tues). I lost several pounds due to dehydration. I am back to eating and noticed that I have not gained back all the weight. Still averaging 1 1/2 to 2 lbs. down. How long do I weight to count that as actual loss?

suck it up?
Ok, so I have been trying several different workouts to add variety and work different muscles. One thing I have noticed with pretty much all the workouts is they tell you to tighten your core. How do you do this with out sucking in a breath and holding it (which can't be a good idea when you are working out)? I guess part…

Question for Nursing Moms or Nutrition Experts
Ok, so I have been using this site for a few months with some success but have drastically slowed down (due somewhat to poor choices). I know about adding back your nursing calories but what about tweaking some of the other categories such as protein, carbs., etc. Just wanting to know what has worked for others.

Help!! I need to exercise.
Ok, so my treadmill is out of commission for the time being. I have three very young children and live in the middle of nowhere so the gym is out of the question. I need some good (fun) exercise ideas for things I can do in the house without any exercise equipment.

Nursing Moms
Are there any other nursing moms out there that are trying to lose weight without harming milk production? All research says it is possible as long as you take in 1800 calories. I am doing that and have lost 18 lbs. so far but I have noticed that over the last couple of weeks my daughter (who is 5 months) is not sleeping…

calorie question
Anyone have any idea in how many calories is in a punch you would get at a baby shower. It had sprite and strawberry ice cream. I don't know the exact recipe used. I know through research I can make one up but I wanted to see if anyone knew an approx. count off hand.

The Bean
Is anyone familiar with The Bean and its Total Body Workout. (For those of you who don't know- it is an inflatable exercise tool that was sold on TV). I am trying to figure out the best way to log it because it does a mix of both cardio and strength training that targets several areas of the body. I put down circuit…
