Almost 20lbs GONE
It took me 8 months with a plateau of 3 months. Damn those things. I usually try to work out 3-4 times a week and I normally eat pretty healthy with a cheat meal once a week. No miracle pills or diets here.

preworkout drinks
I just ran out of Superpump. I really liked it although the effects weren't as strong as when i first started. Yes, i know your body gets use to it. Anyway, I want to try a different prework drink. I use it on the days that I plan on weight lifting. Any suggestions?

anyone else notice that...
When you've been eating fairly clean for a week or mor and then you eat something with high fat, that your stomach is not happy with you? I've been doing fairly well with eating until yesterday. My boyfriend brought a whole pizza over for himself and I had 4 small pieces. I woke up this morning and my stomach retaliated on…

Lifting Questions
My exercise routine is usually cardio for 30-40 mins and then at least 20 mins of strength. I rotate what I do for cardio and use Self strength workouts so my body doesnt get use to my workouts. My question is more on the weight I should lift. I really want to tone my arms, back, and shoulders. I only use 8-10 dumbbells…

NSV my butt!!
My boyfriend grabbed my butt last night and said 'OMG i can tell that its a lot firmer." haha :P I've only been doing Insanity/running for a week but knowing that my butt and leg muscles are already showing improvement is amazing and such a motivation!

Whey vs Soy Protein
I recently learned that I really need to up my protein intake. I was told that whey protein would make me gain weight and that soy was better. I also want to know everyones favorite protein :) i HATE the chalkyness of some proteins.

COFFEE
I love having a cup of coffee every once in awhile but I am one of those people who likes a little coffee with her creamer. I noticed that creamer can add a lot of calories and fat but I cannot stand the taste of black coffee. How do you make your coffee sweeter without a lot of calories? Thanks!!

how do you keep motivated?
I went from 145 to 177 (over 30lbs) in 4 months. There where many different stresses but now I am just being lazy and making poor decisions. I noticed the weight gain at 158 and 167 and at each 10lbs I vowed that I would not gain any more and would make better decisions. I'm hoping topping over the 30lbs gain will be…

is it true...
I think I read it on a post here. Is it true that it takes over a week to see any movement on the scale? I've been doing Insanity for about a week now. I try to follow to nutrition guide with it or at least eat well and within my calories. I haven't seen a single ounce of movement on the scale. Its not entirely…

Quick Question
I made Kraft Mac N Cheese but I do not prepare it how they do. I use margarine and almond milk. Would I record this as the reduced fat way to prepare it?

anyone whos followed insanity nutrition...
I did the calculation on how many calories I should consume and it gave me 1936 with the deduction for losing weight. On MFP, my net calories should be about 1530. Which one should I follow?

Insanity burn question
I just started up Insanity but I do not have a HRM to record how much I burn. Nor can I really afford one right now (broke college student trying to make rent). What would you record insanity under or what do you think is an average burn for it? I'd say that I do go at a medium pace.

carb cravings
The past few days, I have been craving carbs! I almost went through an entire loaf of San Luis Sourdough the other day! Is there a reason I am craving carbs, like is my body telling me I need something? Or just a random craving/

i gained it all back :/
Back in Jan, I lost close to 20 lbs and was at my lowest weight (143). I just weighed myself and I gained almost every single pound back. I feel like I have failed myself. I was so happy and confident at 143 and now im 160. Thats disgusting and I feel like crap now. :/
-
im a tiny bit confused.
I have used MFP for over a year now. I had lost 26lbs in February but recent stresses have made me gain back over 10lbs of it back. I changed my starting weight and goal weight to what it is now (156lbs), and my calories went up 100! I have it set as the same amount of activity, exercise, and lbs per week. I'm curious as…

Stuck on an Island
I will literally be stuck on an island Thurs-Sun. I am taking a Coastal Field Studies course and we go out to Santa Cruz Island (Channel Islands), camp, and explore the island and surrounding coastal areas. We have to pack in all the food we want to eat on the trip. Its a total of 3 breakfasts, 4 lunches, and 3 dinners. So…

Late Night Binging
I have a HUGE problem with this. Its not just a once a month thing where I can move on and promise not to do it again. Like two nights ago, I got home from work at 11:30pm and made myself some popcorn because I was starving. That doesn't seem too bad, until i grabbed some chocolate and then some cheese and crackers. I must…

ah college
I got swept up in the partying scene this past semester. I was doing well balancing it out with eating healthy and still going out. These past two weeks, I've been eating out almost every day and just plain eating when I'm bored. That doesn't really have to do with partying. I've gained back 5 of the lbs I lost and I STILL…

in need of a good ab routine.
I have dropped almost 25 lbs and my abs are finally noticeable. I ALMOST have my 4 pack back. Although i have a little bit of fat i still want gone, what are some good ab workouts that target lower and obliques? I've been adding a lot more plank work to my strength trainer. I heard those were really good for abs.

Can I tell you guys how much I love you all?!? I have people on here asking ME for advice on how to lose weight and get abs like mine. I have never in my life had people ask me for advice on weight loss, let alone advice on abs workouts. You guys make me feel so good about myself and like I've finally succeeded in…

6 meals a day?
I have a tendency to overeat when I only eat 3 meals a day. In between meals, I get hungry or bored and end up eating bad foods or just A LOT of food. I've heard that people find it way easier when they eat small meals 6x a day. I was wondering people's thoughts on it and when during the day did people eat?

5k on Sunday!
I am running my first 5k on Sunday!! I am really excited but that not my question. How do I prepare the week of the race? Like when should I stop running before and any other advice? Like I said, I am a newbie to 5ks and really want to have a good first race!

question about my mother
My mom is 50 and really unhealthy. I am not sure how much she weighs but she is a 3x, diabetic, and on many different medications. She's been "attempting" to lose weight but I know she sabotages herself by eating when we are sleeping. I am so scared she's going to die before I'm even married. I've already lost my dad and…

Weight Catching up to you..
I weighed myself after the holidays and I had lost 9lbs (in a couple months) and also finally made it under the 150s. This was after all the pigging out and such. I told my friend, he's all into fitness and nutrition, and he said that the weight I gain from a week of crap eating will not show up for a week after. Is this…
