MFP sugar setting...
I go over my sugar limit everyday. I eat an apple and banana almost everyday and that puts me at my limit. I realize these are natural sugars, but still sugar. Should I be limiting the these foods and find better low sugar substitues (different fruits/veggies)?

Settings....what should mine be set at???
Did you set up your settings for your BMR as your lowest calorie intake and then eat back your exercise calories or did you set them at your TDEE (-20%) and eat back your exercise calories? Right now, I have mine set at my BMR of 1386 and usually eat back some of my exercise calories. However, I keep gaining weight, so…

30 day shred and insanity at the same time??
I just started the 30 day shred yesterday and plan on doing it for the full 30 days this time!! Plus, I was thinking of starting Insanity this upcoming weekend. Is that too much? I was going to do 30 day shred in the mornings before I have to get ready for work and my kids ready for preschool/daycare. Then I was going to…

HRM calorie burn vs. treadmill calorie burn
I worked out last night on my treadmill and wore my HRM. The HRM stated I burned 263 calories, while my treadmill (which monitors my heart rate as well) stated that I burned 444 calories. Can they be that far off from each other? I really pushed myself and feel like my calorie burn is always low compared to what I see…

Diabetic/Kid Friendly EASY meal needed!
We are hosting dinner and my nephew is diabetic. We do this a few times a year, so I am looking for new recipes to add to my rotation! I need an easy meal (casserole/crockpot preferred) as I work full time. I would love something that is kid friendly as well b/c there will be 4 kids and 4 adults eating the meal. Please…

Low carb?? What do you eat??
Just curious if you are on a low carb diet, what you eat? A lot of my carbs come from fruits and veggies, so what do people eat if they are only eating 20 carbs or around there? I am trying to lower my carb intake, but won't give up on my fruits and veggies :)

BMR help...
My calculated BMR (for sedentary lifestyle) is 1628. So, should I be eating at least that a day and then eating back my exercise calories? I want to lose 10 lbs. I am 5'3", female, and 34 yrs old. MFP has me at around 1330 cals and I was eating my exercise calories back, but then read that I shouldn't eat below my BMR. So,…

Abdominal Seperation from pregnancy
My youngest son is 20 months old, but still seems like I have abdominal seperation and not sure how I can fix this. Has anyone dealt with this? If so, how did you correct this? I am trying to find more information, but a lot of the sites I found tell me what not to do, but don't show me what to do!! Thanks

Anyone doing Insanity that has/had knee issues?
I really want to try the Insanity program, but have had an ACL repair (years ago) and sometimes still have some minor issues. Not sure if this will be too much for my knee. Has anyone here done the program that has had any knee issues and found this to be ok for their knee?

Calorie burn ????
I have an HRM to help determine my calorie burn for the P90X DVDs. I see other people posting that they burn double doing the same exercise. I put all my efforts into the workouts. I am guessing this is due to my age and weight now. I can't seem to get my heart rate into my fat burning range either, but not sure that i…

How often should I measure?
I started doing the P90X lean program on 3/12. I have been tracking calories and only had 1 day where I did not do a DVD. I took measurements on the 12th and again this morning and there have been no changes. Should I wait until my muscles start adjusting to the workouts? I am only around 5' 3", so my calories that MFP set…

P90X, missing DVD....
I am on Day 4 of the Lean program and supposed to do the Yoga X tonight. I can not find that DVD (I think I gave it to my brother b/c I hate Yoga), so thinking of doing one of my Jillian DVD's and treadmill. Do you think this is an ok substitution? I have the 30 Day Shred, Maximum Full Frontal, Maximum Back, Cardio…

Have an HRM but doesn't calculate calorie burn, anyone have
I have an HRM, but it doesn't calculate calories burned. It does have the chest strap and watch. I bought it years ago when I was pregnant to monitor my heart rate when exercising. Does anyone have a formula I can use so I can use my HRM while working out and then calculate my calorie burn? I didn't google this yet, hoping…
