How to become a personal trainer (in the UK)
Evening all, This is something I've always kind of thought about ever since I had my first PT session more than 10 years ago. At the time it was more thinking, 'I can do better than this guy because he just doesn't care' followed by, 'can't believe I pay him obscene amount of money to be so crap at this...'. Anyway, life…

Questions about Beach Body Coaches...
My apologies, this got a bit long... Reason I'm posting is because I think one day I'd like to be a BB coach but I'd like to know more about this... So I'm quite new to this Beach Body world and only found out more about it since I started doing Insanity. Because I bought Insanity, I was approached by several BB coaches…

Doing Insanity, eating lots of protein but still hungry?!
The title basically says it all...I'm finishing Week 2 of Insanity and I haven't been following the nutrition guide to the T because I found I had to tweak it to meet the calorie requirement. The first few days in the first week I was really hungry and guys on here suggested I eat more protein so I dropped some of my carbs…

Is it normal to still be hungry all the time?
Hi, I'm currently on 1700kcal which is the number I got from subtracting 500kcal from my BMR. I eat 5 meals a day about every 2-4 hours and still, I am so hungry. In the past I've stuck with 1200kcal and would be so hungry to the point I'd want to faint but because I wanted to lose weight, I just dealt with it. As it…

Insanity Elite Nutrition Guide
Anyone is or was on the Insanity nutrition guide that came with the workout program? I've started Insanity today and am going to follow the guide for the 60 days. However, I decided to log my food on MFP as well just to have a record of it and to my surprise, even as I followed the food guide to a T, one of the meals came…

The correct activity level for BMR calculation
Hi, I'm trying to calculate my BMR to get a correct number of calories I need a day. I'm doing the Insanity work out and I have a 10 months old energetic baby. Should I choose my activity level to Very Active or Moderate Active? I feel like Very Active is for someone who runs daily and then is also on their feet all…

Questions for moms with young babies...
What time do you work out?! I'm reading on the forum and so many people are getting up any time between 3am - 6am to work out...I have a 10 months old baby, I'm trying to get sleep any chance I get so it's very unlikely for me to get up between those hours to work out when I've probably only just went back to sleep after…

Scared to start Insanity but really really want to!
Hi all, I've been on MFP since forever and my weight has gone up and down and up and down for as long as I can remember. I became a mom 10 months ago and I went from 138lb to 182lb! By the way...I'm only 5'1...so yeah, that's a lot...after the baby, I took a small break before started working out then with Jillian…

Result - Ripped in 30 with Jillian Michaels

My scale is a big fat liar...NSV...
It's been a while since I had NSV and this morning...I got one... My partner hid my scale but two days ago I begged him for it and I took a peek: I gained 2.2lbs. My measuring tape says I've lost 0 inches. HOWEVER... I woke up this morning wanting to believe something has changed...so...I took out my pre-preggo skinny…

Week 1
I finished 30 Day Shred on Sunday and after a rest day, I started my second challenge, Ripped in 30. A brief intro: I'm 32 years old and a new mom. My baby just turned 6 months old and I'm just learning to juggle with working out and caring for a baby! I hope we can support each other through the next 4 weeks and hopefully…

Level 1
Instead of by weeks, I thought I'd split it into 4 levels as some of us may be starting later or sooner. This way we can discuss each levels and perhaps provide tips for each other. I am on Day 3 of Level 1 and I am finding it hard to continue. Not because I don't love it, because I am physically so sore!! The moves are…

How is everyone doing?!
Are we holding on?! I know it's been difficult for me to continue but we must finish this and we can finish this!

Need help regarding breastfeeding calories...
Hi guys, I've done my search on MFP forums but I'm afraid I'm still a bit dumb about it...I'm breastfeeding (well, expressing) my 5 months old baby and from calculation burn about 350 - 450kcal a day. Am I suppose to log that as exercise or do I add the number to my daily food calorie? I'm currently on 1200 a day as preset…

Beef Seaweed Soup: Low cal/carb and filling!
I should probably mention you need to like seaweed to enjoy this recipe... (Please keep in mind that I took the calorie count from MFP database except the seaweed, that was from my package. I don't know how accurately these other numbers are so treat these as estimates) My mother made this for me a lot during my postpartum…

Need stories from new moms...how to get back on the wagon?
Hi all, I've been away for a while, a year to be exact. I left because I got pregnant last June and gave birth 5 months ago to a baby girl. I was an obsessed MFP fan before and with the support of my friends on MFP and pure die hard determination, I lost close to 25lbs. I felt amazing...then I got pregnant. I wasn't on my…

NSV...PCOS and all...
So last year this time I was diagnosed with PCOS. My doctor told me it will be very difficult for me to get pregnant. Not just with me but my boyfriend has hypertension so the combo made it even more difficult. I was also 25lbs overweight at the time and I stopped having menstrual cycles. Since December 2010 I started on…

Activating RunKeeper & C25K simultaneously?
Hi, I've started using C25K and yes, I know it has an in-app purchase for GPS but my iPhone has not been updated and please don't ask me why...it's a very long and boring story...but I can't just update the phone right now...so I'm loving the C25K but I can't track my pace or distance. Someone on MFP recommended i check…

More questions about C25K...
Hi, sorry if this topic has been discussed but I couldn't really find answers to my questions so... I started on Friday and so far I've only done 2 days of it but I'm really proud to say I am liking it considering how much I hate running... A few questions: - How do I determine the distance? So far I've just been listening…

Another C25K question...from a total non-runner...
Hi all, I've been kind of on a weight loss hiatus since end of May...I've been on MFP since Dec 10 and was doing quite well the first three months. The last three months I've been really wishy washy about everything so even though I've lost some weight, I've also been gaining back the same weight...I'm just yo-yoing…

Super foods
I found this on Sparks People and I thought it's quite helpful. We all know the most important part apart from drinking loads of water is what types of food you eat. I always need help in this sector so I thought the list was really helpful. I'm thinking about testing this out, eating only from this super food list and see…

I am so angry about this post, I felt compelled to share it.
I really thought about whether or not to share this...but I am so angry about it...I know it can be tough trying to lose weight in an Asian culture (lucky for me, I grew up in the west...) but this is just over the top, ridiculous, most damaging message for young and old Asian girls all around. My brother sent this to me…

My 4 months B&A, half way there!
So I'm slightly embarrassed to put these on the forums. I'm fine plastering photos on my own blog but the idea of many other people see my 'not so pleasant' pics...is a tad daunting. But then again, it's not the first time I've put up my B&A on MFP so I don't know what the heck I'm talking about! Anyway!! A good MFP…
