Measuring Pasta???
Ok, so I use Smart Taste Pasta and the box says 2 oz uncooked is a service, but how do you measure that after it is cooked? I am cooking for the whole family and didn't want to have to cook my own 2oz seperately. Is there an easy way to calculate that maybe I am not seeing? Thanks for the help!!!
Starting P90X and scared....looking for guidance
Hi all- I am starting p90x this week and I am a little scared! I am pretty heavy, although I have lost 30 lbs, I'm still up there! I'm afraid I won't be able to handle some of the requirements such as push ups. I broke my wrist years ago and since, because I am so heavy, I am unable to do a regular push up. I currently do…
OMG! They're right
Okay, so I have been losing about 2-3 lbs per week, but last week I was lucky to get 1 lb. After being so frustrated and trying to figure out why, I started searching the forums and kept seeing this whole issue with not eating enough calories. I went back to last week when I only lost 1 lb and this was my net calories:…
Grrrrr....what the heck! HELP!!
I have worked out everyday for the past 2 1/2 weeks, except for last Friday, and I have only lost half a pound! I do 60 min cardio and then some circuit training. Sometime, I also add in 30 day shred or Just Dance on the wii. I don't know what's going on! Last summer I did way less exercise and ate a little worse than now…
Where do you get these animated pics???
I keep seeing posts with tickers or pics of what looks like them only animated showing them at their current weight and what it will be once they reach their goal weight. Anyone else see these? Where did you get them from?
How many inches!!! You better measure again....
So I began having my husband measuring me because I wasn't seeing the scale move very much, but I could tell a little difference in the way my clothes were fitting. Although he has been measuring me since the end of June, I haven't been looking at the actual numbers. I have this fear that they weren't going to show much…
A.M or P.M.???
Ok, so I have been working out at night after work. Usually around 6pm, but I have heard there are benefits to working out in the early morning. I have sleep apnea and don't respond well to my cpap machines, so getting up in the mornings are difficult already, much less 5am! Anyone here do the early mornings and prefer it…
30 Day Shred
I started JM 30 day shred a few months ago and due to injury and other family reason, I stopped. I started it back up again and last night was day 2. I was sore, but pushed through it, but today is much worse. I don't remember feeling this bad the first time I started it. Should I push through today or give a day break? Is…
Tilapia!!!
I have never eaten seafood. Not even tuna! I am trying to come up with new ideas for dinner and my husband suggested I try it again. I am very reluctant cause I hate the smell of it, but it is so much better for you and I can only eat chicken and turkey so many more times. Problem is, I have never cooked it before. Neither…
Need help and motivation please!!!
So I did great from June 1st thru about July 15th. That's the week my brother go married. So much family in town so I had family dinners and parties. After about one week of that, I got sick and haven't been back to normal yet. Not to mention the knee injury. So last Sunday, I said Monday was the restart, but that's when I…
Question about weight loss after working out...
So I was wondering, when you work out, do you see a difference in weight after a few days? This may be a silly question, but when I work out, I show no weight loss, then about 6-7 days later I have a big loss of 1 or 2 lbs. Because of my busy schudule, I don't work out on a routine basis. Last week was only Mon-Thur and…
TOM question
Ok, so TOM came to visit me last Thursday and the week before that the scale didn't budge. :( Now, I weighed myself yesterday, just for the heck of it and was expecting it to show a gain from the water and cravings and I actually show a loss of 3.2 lbs!!! I thought I was losing it, so I weighed again this morining and I…
Question for all you C25K users...
From what I understand this is a 9 week program, but must you follow it everyday with no breaks? With my kids' schedule, I am forseeing problems getting it completed everyday. Just curious if anyone takes a day in between here and there. Hopeing to start this weekend!!
Considering c25k....
So I am considering completing the c25k program. Is there a dvd that I can purchase for instruction? I am not sure how good this will work for me, I am 268 lbs, and its been a long time since I have ran. Any success stories out there? Thanks!!
I need new tennis shoes...
So the shoes I have been wearing for working out are hurting the arches in my feet. They really aren't for running, exercise, etc. My question is, what kind of shoes are best for that? I also have problems with heel spurs, so I need some comfortable shoes. The pair I have now I bought about 5 years ago! Any help is…
Day 2 of 30 Day Shred....
and all I can say is ouch!! First of all, I thouhgt I was more limber and coordinated that I turned out to be! Also, I hurt in places that I didn't know could hurt! It will pay off in the end. I am just glad that I completed the 2nd day, I have a past history to complete day 1 and decide it's too hard. So, all and all, I…
Anyone else have sleep apnea????
I have been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and been given a CPAP machine. I have been told how wonderful I will feel after and that I will sleep so much better. Problem is, I can't keep the stinkin mask on as night!! It drives me crazy and sometimes I will get up in the morning and not ever realize I took it off…
Do you use up exercise calories?
I started 30 day shred today and also have been doing Zumba. I did not anticipate to earn back so many calories. Are you supposed to use them all. I scheduled my day out ahead and now after tracking the exercise, I have over 700 calories left, even after dinner and a snack. Do I need to use up as much as I can or let them…
How do you log the 30 day shred?
I started the Jilliam Michael 30 day shred today and was curious as to how you track the exercise on mfp? I have ordered a HRM, but haven't received it yet. Thanks!!
Big girl, lots to lose.....
I have about 125 lbs to lose and am worried about what I will look like after it's gone. I am only 29, but am afraid my extra "chin" and "belly" will just be saggy skin? Anyone lost a lot of weight and experianced this? I have a family member that had gastric bypass and has this problem, although I realize it was too much…
New to mfp and need ideas for dinner...
I have been using mfp for about one week and I love it!!! I have been doing good at keeping my food entries and tracking my calories, but I always seem to have a problem coming up with healthy ideas for dinner. Side dishes seem to be the worst. I am on a limited budget and don't purchase "weird" ingredients for a one time…
