Intermittent Fasting / 5:2 / 16:8 etc etc...
I did my first IF day today. Fasted midnight to 6pm. Then 500 cals. Going to sleep unable to much on things was frustrating. I started to get hungry around 3:30pm. Other than that it wasn't too bad. I planned a big salad, organic nonfat cottage cheese, & an egg white scramble. I think high protein & low fat helped with the…

What exercises do you do?
I started Insanity a little over a week ago, & I like it even though it's hard as hell. I feel like I should be doing more though. Like maybe another half hour a day or something of lighter exercise. Right now I'm out in the boonies on a hill in the snow in Oregon so it's not like I can go out to do anything, I just work…

My 1st NSV - I wasn't expecting...
I started MFP about 4 weeks ago with my initial major goal to lose 2lbs/ week since I was going to finally be able to start exercising for generally the first time in 2-3 years, & I was going to be hardcore & jump into Insanity. Well, I wasn't losing 2lbs/week even being super strict logging all foods. I wasn't even losing…

How are you doing?
I eat too much cheese. >.< I'm going to try & switch my work out time from 11pm to 5pm. I feel way too good & energetic when I get out of the shower at midnight for me to go to sleep. =x

Let's Start!
Today is my first day both starting my plan & on My Fitness Pal. I have a 6 month plan for losing 2 lbs per week to start right now. I'm gonna be really gun-ho the first couple of months particularly because I'm going to attempt to start Insanity tonight. o.O Also going to self-evaluate after 1 month & 2 months to be sure…

What do you eat if you do IF/ 5:2 diet?
Since I've been on MFP I've seen a lot of talk about IF & the 5:2 diet. For those of you that have done/ are doing this & found it successful, what kinds of foods do you consume on your down/ reduced calorie days? (Like the 500 calorie day.) Do you eat whatever? Do you notice a difference particularly on those days if you…

Daily Challenges in a Group
Hi all! Some of my friends & I made a group when we started MFP a couple weeks ago. We decided to make a thread with different daily challenges to help support & motivate each other. For example, today was do 30 minutes of an exercise of your choice. If anyone is interested feel free to join the open group, "We Are…

Not Too Sweet Fiber Bars?
I'm not really a sweets person & I like getting a good store brand fiber bar (basically a generic version of Fiber One Oats & Caramel bars.) Was wondering if anyone can suggest other high fiber bars that aren't too sweet & around 140cals or less. Thanks in advance!
-
Sick after working out?
About a week & 1/2 after starting Insanity I started feeling sick to my stomach & throwing up. Not the way you do/ feel the 1st/2nd day from working so hard, but lasting during the next day. I changed my eating habits slightly after I started logging everything & decided to up my protein 10%. That was the only eating…

Cardio first or Strength first? (Insanity included)
I've heard different arguments for both sides. I just started Insanity a little over a week ago & thinking about adding some lighter work out for about 20 mins before or after Insanity. Not sure if I should do something lighter & be warmed up for Insanity, or if it would be better to do after & keep my HR going? Any…
-
Games/ Challenges for Motivation?
It's only been 8 days, but I've been trying really hard & the scale hasn't moved. Are there any games or challenges people are doing on MFP that I can join in? Something besides losing a certain amount of weight. Maybe something in fitness I can work on to keep motivated & not discouraged?

Inexpensive Vegetarian Protein Suppliment / Shake (?)
Hi, I'm mostly vegetarian & eat pretty healthy (no processed carbs, artificial sweeteners, soda, or desserts) I get most of my vitamins & nutrients in through my food, but would like to amp it up a little more, and see how some additional protein will affect me. Could anyone recommend a specific protein + nutrient…
