P90X3 Equipment
What equipment did you invest in? I have all the weights, but not the pull up bar or chin up max. I'm a woman with little upper body strength so welcome the opportunity to get stronger, but is it worth the investment / will I really need these? I don't think DH is crazy about me installing a pull up bar in the doorway,…

Looking for Motivated Friends to Keep Going!
Hi, I lost about 45 lbs. the healthy way in 2010 through calorie counting and exercising. I maintained that weight for 2+ years, but I had shoulder surgery 15 months ago, and allowed some of those pounds to creep back on. I have a great group of motivated friends already, but am always looking for more. I don't count…

Have A Fitbit: Need Help Setting MFP Calorie Goal
I have read several posts on this topic, but still can't get the math right in my head and MFP and my Fitbit are not showing similar results at the end of the day. I guess I'm just bad a math. Any help that can be provided is appreciated: I have a new FitBit flex. I have tracked 11 days so far. My average TDEE over those…

Insanity/Running Hybrid - Anyone Else?
I am a runner just coming off an injury so I'm mixing Insanity with running. I found a great program online that sets a schedule I would have probably created myself if I hadn't already found this online. Basically I run 3X a week, do Insanity 3X a week and do restorative yoga 1X per week. Anyone else with a similar plan?…

Need Eggplant Recipes
I have two beautiful eggplants from my CSA this week. We are hosting a small dinner party and looking to cook these up into something YUMMY, but somewhat healthy too. I count calories and my GF who is coming over is on WW. I'm sure she'll eat it, but not sure about the Hubbies. This would be a side dish. We are probably…

Ultimate Reset Results
I just completed the BeachBody Ultimate Reset. I lost 11.5# and over 9 inches. Most importantly I feel fantastic, and I have a new appreciation for eating healthy foods to fuel my body instead of out of boredom or stress. Now back to exercising because I have more work to do!

Stronglifts and Abs
I'm not stupid, but how does strong lifts (or any other type of lifting program) create a more defined mid-section? I see before and after pictures, and there is noticeable difference, but not on my body. I completed a round of ChaLEAN extreme and definitely started to notice some muscle definition especially in my arms,…

Girdle/Abdominal Binder anyone?
I'm looking for people who have worn a girdle or abdominal binder to increase their stomach firmness, and/or decrease their waist circumference. I know they make them for post-surgery, but I've never had surgery or even a baby for that matter, and my stomach is just fat, fat, fat. I practice sticking in my stomach when I…

What Weight Does Your Drivers License Say You Are?
And how far from the truth is it? I was 145 when I graduated H.S. and same height I am now - 5'8". Of course my drivers license says I weigh 140, which is probably what I weighed when i was 16 and got my license. I weigh 166 now, and was up to 210 at my heaviest. I've never changed it. How about you?

Who Cooks In Your House?
Since I met my husband over 12 years ago, he has always cooked 95% of our meals. He would cook 3-4 times a week Yummy, but not incredibly healthy. Plus we would order out 1-2 times a week. Plus go out to eat 1-2 times a week. Only in the past 2 years have I been making more of my own meals to get healthy. I still eat his…

New Scale: Very Different Readings
I've had the Biggest Loser Body Fat Scale for almost 2 years. When I first got it, I religiously tracked all the stats it gave me, but then after awhile just used the body weight. Since I've been stuck on the same 5 lbs. for over a year, I decided to go back to looking at other stats such as body FAT. But I couldn't get my…

37 down, 19 to go
I was 210.5 at my heaviest in January 2007. I lost 15 lbs. that year, and 6 in 2008, 2 in 2009, 10.9 in 2010 and just 2.6 in 2011. I weigh 174 today and I should really be at 155. I did get down to 166.2 in the spring while I was training for my 1/2 marathon, but I gained some of it back. I really need to buckle down and…

Dr. Cancelled on Me
2 months ago I booked a annual check up with my primary care doctor. I knew I would be off of work, and I've already met my deductible so it wouldn't cost me anything out of pocket. Today they called me and said she wasn't going to be in, and I had to make a new appointment. I was so dissapointed. Not only did I book this…
