Excruciating pain during exercise during ovulation.

Anyone track weekly exercise instead of daily?
Obviously it would still get you the same results (Or would it?) ...but I was wondering what your preference of tracking exercise was (MFP s is definitely set up for a daily-basis....) Because my eating patterns are sort of, good day good day good day good day, SUPER OVER DAY, good day, good day....and when I try to eat…

What determines what surplus calories get stored as?
This may seem like an odd question, and I've never wondered it before because I'm obviously trying to lose fat. When you eat a definite surplus (whatever amount that is for you), AFTER exercise calories, so it's definitely over your maintainance level......and you lift weights as well, how does your body determine what…

How much weight is everyone using?
During Phase 1 I used 8 pounds, then progressed to 10's near the end. Actually I used like 5's the first day lol..... Now on Phase two, I'm using 8's when she says "medium" and 10's for "heavy." The only things I can't do heavy on are the superman's with weights [I'm dying with 5's on this particular move.] Is anyone…

Anyone feel like they're eating more than they used to?
Not necessarily calorically....but just how much. I feel like I'm always eating. So today was a bad example, because I normally don't eat this much, but I've found that I actually lose better when I eat 60-80% of my exercise calories back (sometimes). But even when I stick to 1,300 calories...I choose lower cal foods now,…

Seeking advice from those who eat some/all of their exercise
*calories back.....haha My goal that MFP sets for me is 1,200. I chose sedentary settings and have a pretty low goal weight and still have a ways to go. Lately, I have been burning anywhere from 600-700 calories through exercise daily. So if I keep my calories between 1,200 and 1,500, I'll lose. If I eat it so my net…

Invisible Children.
Please share this with your loved ones -- everyone needs to be aware of this if you are not already part of the solution. We think we have "bad days" when we don't get enough protein, or when we are "lazy" and skip a workout. What kind of propaganda do we see, what goals do we surround ourselves with? Vanity...money...…

Why I love this site.
I love that this site is like Facebook--yet I'm SO relieved it's nothing of the sort. I love that people can post achievements and victories, and everyone is here because they care. Yet Facebook, we feel the need to show up, and basically think "How lame it is....." (Facebook is like sugar, but that's an entirely different…
