How do you get your protein?
I didn't realize MFP's protein goals are so low compared to a lot of other opinions. So I'm trying to get more protein! How do you get yours? I really don't like drinking protein shakes with just water and protein powder. But I feel like if I add anything else it will be too many calories! I have about 1,500 calories per…

Exercising when sore
On Monday I did some weighted lunges and squats as well as cardio. Tuesday and Wednesday my legs and butt were so sore that I couldn't run. Today, Thursday, I finally sucked it up even though I'm a little sore. Is it normal to be sore for days? Is it normal for soreness to be painful when using those muscles to sit down,…

Coconut/Almond Milk - Refrigerated and Non-Refrigerated?

Can't decide on a gym!
There's a gym across the street from my work that is $50 per month. It's very convenient in terms of location because I could go during my lunch hour, and it has all of the bells and whistles. But, I won't be using a lot of those bells and whistles (don't like Zumba, prefer not to swim, etc). But I do like gang they have…

Self-sabotage when you get close to your goal
Does this happen to anyone else? Usually when I get to the wait I currently am (8 lbs down!) I gain it back immediately.

Does…

Finding business casual clothing that fits
I'm having a hard time finding business casual clothing (specifically slacks/pants) that fit me well. Most seem to be too loose in the stomach/waist area and a good size in the thigh/saddle bag area (because that's the widest part of my body). I'm a small in tops and about a 4 or 6 in bottoms. Does anyone else have an…

When do you eat?
When do you eat? Or how do you know when to eat? Are you used to eating at the same time each day? Do you wait until you're hungry? If so, what does that look like for you? I feel like I eat out of habit (same time each day), and I eat if I am craving something. I'm interested in what others do! I feel like I should try…

I just ate so much
But since I worked out I was able to fit everything into my calories. I went to the gym at 4:30am, walked on my lunch break, and walked to get dinner. And for dinner I was able to have a delicious chicken sandwich with cheese and a ton of fries. And I had an ice cream cone after! This is the best feeling ever.

Over my MFP fat goal
I used to only count calories and not focus much on what I was actually eating. I noticed that I would be way over my carb goal and not even close to my protein goal. For the last month I've started to also try and hit my carb, fat and protein goals (mainly protein) provided by MFP. Ive noticed that I usually hit my…
