Snack for 5am workout? Go on Empty?
I get up at 5am to work out. It's the only real "Me time" I have to get a good workout in. Some mornings I feel a little hungry when I get up and will eat something super quick right before my workout. I don't have time to let it diget (lol). I have been doing a tablespoon of powdered peanut butter on 3 reduced fat…

HRM Recommendations?
I am looking to upgrade my current HRM. The one I have now requires that I manually check my HR durring the workout. That is not easy to do (push and hold a button until it beeps) while I'm trying to do my cardio workout. Does anyone have a good, relatively inexpensive HRM that will automatically check your HR through your…

I want to give up!
On September 10, I started really getting serious with my weight loss goal. I have gotten up at 5am every week day and have worked out. I work out later in the day on Saturday, and Sunday is my rest day. Some days I work out twice, and also get one or two 15 minute walks in durring the work day. I have logged in on MFP,…

Load my shopping cart, please!
I hear everyone talk about eating less processed, more whole foods. I agree. I work full time, have a husband and 2 kids(in school). I know I pick up a lot of ready to eat stuff for convenience (like fiber one bars, cheese sticks, yogurt, etc.). What would you suggest I get to stock myself up on for snacks and meals away…

I am in the middle of the second week. I have been logging my calories (some days I skip, but am mindul of what I'm eating), and staying on track with exactly what the workout schedule says to do. I get up at 5am and do the routine. The days I am supposed to do two different work outs, I do one at 5am and the other about…

Stuck in the Middle
I started at 197. I lost to 195. Then I ballooned up to 198/199. I went down to 194.5. Then I went back down to 196.6, and now this morning, I'm at 195. I have lost an inch in my hips and in my waist. This has all been in the span of a month. What is going on?

Heart Rate Monitors?
I just bought a HR monitor/watch yesterday. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. It wasn't a real expensive one. It was $28. It has you put in your age and gender. Then you hit a button when you start exercising and your supposed to push the HR button periodically throughout the workout. When the workout is over, it…

Ugly Belly Fat-how to really get rid of it?
This is really kind of embarrassing, but I'm going to just put it out there. I have a very flabby tummy. I have one of those double pooches. One above my navel, and a big one below. My skin isn't real tight because of stretch marks from rapidly gaining weight in my late teens, and then having 2 babies in my 30's. It's just…
