Shoulder "Injury"
Hey guys! I wanted to pick your brains a bit, here. So I've completed just over half of JM's Body Revolution and unfortunately have found myself with somewhat of a shoulder injury. I can remember pushing myself too hard at one point, trying to keep up, and sort of moving my shoulder the wrong way. Stupidly, I kept doing my…

Advice on tweaking my workout regimen!
Is it okay to work out Tuesday-Friday and then take Saturday-Monday off? While I realize doing 4 consecutive days is not ideal, it's the best way exercise fits into my schedule right now. I am open to the idea of trying to shift my schedule around if it is better in the long run. I typically do a Jillian Michaels DVD (I…

DVD Programs
So... I don't have a gym membership, and the past three months my fitness regimen has included doing 30-60 minutes of exercise 3-5 times a week. I typically do a Jillian Michaels video, occasionally supplemented by a brisk walk or run/walk in the park. I'm not in my best shape right now, but I have recently lost almost 25…

Getting sick while on a diet.
Alright, so I woke up with an irritated, sore throat and some definite nasal drainage going on. Not sure if it's allergies or what, but I didn't get a lot of sleep last night and I am just not feeling well. I went from working out 4-5 days a week to working out only once last week...and I wish I'd kept working out. I also…

What is/are your NOPE ingredient(s)?
You're strolling down an aisle at the grocery store and a new product catches your eye... Being the avid label reader that you are, you decide to read the ingredients on the product. What ingredient(s) would make you automatically put that item back on the shelf? Or, alternatively, did you have a favorite food that you…

HRM users, do you factor in a margin of error?
I am currently using a Polar FT4 to get a good estimate on my energy expenditure during exercise. I love it because it allows me to monitor my heart rate so that I can try to stay in the optimum zone for fat burning. And it gives me quantitave data at the end of my workout! That being said, I sometimes think the numbers…

20-somethings (and young at heart folks c:)
Let's be MFP friends. I lost 35/40 lbs a few years ago and put it all back on after entering a serious relationship. I've felt disappointed, unhappy, out of shape, and unsexy for way too long since gaining the weight back. I'm finally ready to commit to a healthy lifestyle (again) and I'm looking for new MFP friends. I am…

Looking for fellow 20-somethings to follow :)
Hello! My name is Sara and I am a college student trying to tame a few bad habits. I have actually been using mfp for at least a year now, and have had a lot of success with it. Unfortunately since losing a lot of weight, life changed and my health habits suffered. Having a boyfriend has not helped my waistline either, ha.…

Vegetarians?
Okay, so I'm not a strict vegetarian. I sometimes eat meat when I go out to restaurants, but I almost never buy meat products from the store. A few months back I became more interested in organic foods and the food industry in general. While I'm not an animal rights activist, I decided I want to start consuming less animal…
