Marathon Eating Plan
Hey! So I know what to eat to lose weight and how to eat healthy to lose weight. But now I am going to start training for a marathon and I am not sure how to eat to fuel my body for something like this. I was reading stuff online but I think I would do better having an actual "eat this for breakfast today" type of plan. I…

Looking for literature and materials
Hey everyone. I am looking for something to read or maybe some website with this but I want to know what to eat and what not to eat when it comes to burning fat gaining muscle. I know it's easy to go on and do a quick search and see "eat more protein, less carbs but have enough carbs for energy" etc etc, I'd like something…

Health food stores not so healthy?
Today I went into the Fresh Market. I don't know if they are every where but we have them in NC. At fist I noticed they had organic fruits and veggies but very small selection. The rest were not organic but they did have country of origin on the label. Then I headed over to the butcher section. The meat/chicken/pork either…

meatballs and meatloaf
These are two of my favorite foods. The meatballs are a staple for my husbands family spaghetti sauce. Of course they are made with bread crumbs. What are good alternatives? I tried gluten free oatmeal since I have made meatloaf with oatmeal before but it was no bueno. There were crunchy things in it lol.

Juicer Question
So I've taken the step and bought a good juicer (brevelle sp?)and I'm making my first juice this morning. I have a question about it though. When I make it, can you make some to save for the rest of the day/next day or does it have to be an every time/morning thing? Also if you can post your favorite juice recipes that…

Exhausted after work out
Hey all. I was wondering if this happens to anyone else. When I work out, my usual workout is Zumba with some circuit training, and if not p90x. Zumba is usually done at 10/1030 in the morning depending on the instructor and the circuit training is done before or after and that is only for like 20 mins. Sometimes it's just…

5'4/5'5 Thick girls
I have always been "Thick." Even at my smallest (size 8 140lbs) I see some girls on here, and not saying it's bad, that are my height wanting to be 125. My frame and that weight would make me look sick. Of course it's not how everyone is. it looks good on their frame, good on them, I just have big hips, as do all my…

Squats
I have been doing squats but just the ones where you stand and act like your sitting back in a chair. I'm not really seeing that huge of a difference. 1.) I feel it more in my quads than anything and 2.) shouldn't I feel it more in my hamstrings? When I see pictures of people "squatting" they always have the weight bar, is…

Having to stop classes
I'm a little sad I have to stop classes right now :( We are in a tight place right now so I had to cut my pole class. But my DH was ok with me getting a DVD and I've had some recommendations so I'm excited about that. Anyone else just do the dvd's and not class?

Any other Pole Fitness Peeps?
A couple of months ago I started doing Pole Fitness. I love it! I am in Pole 2 and we are prepping to go upside down and my god what a good arm/core workout! And I like it a lot too because I have back issues (L5 surgery back in April) and it doesn't bother me at all. Of course when we start going upside down I'll have to…

Sugar... WTF
Without taking into consideration the days I stress eat with lots of sweets, I am always going over my sugars! Even if I think I am doing really well. Are the expectations of MFP just crazy low? For instance, today I ate gluten free oatmeal with aguve and that was 22 grams, my goal is 29. Any fruit or pretty much anything…

What song?
So this is a fun game to play on boards.. The person types in Lyric's then the next person answers with title and artist and starts a new lyric. I'll go first.... "I'm not suppose to be scared of anything but I don't know where I am."

Changing Childrens eating habits
Any tips? My husband and I are making changes to our food and with that brings changes with our children's food. I feel though they have become too dependent on chick-fil-a and carbs. I am making small changes like more fruits with dinner and if I am buying something that is packaged I stay away from preservatives and all…

TDEE.. say what?!
Ok I searched this on line and it brought me back to here but I still 1.) don't understand what in the halibut this is and 2.) how to calculate it. My weight keeps fluctuating (this week obviously from over eating) and I really think it has to do with me not eating enough calories and then when I have a bad day (go over…

Before I was pregnant I was 160 at my heaviest and I got up to 220 with my second child. After he was born…

13.1 Not a runner and back surgery
So I've been toying with the idea of running a half marathon. I am not a big runner though I did just complete the Color me Rad 5k in October at 34:45, which for me is great. In May, I had my L5 disk removed, well not all of it, but a big part of it, almost needed a fusion (I'm 26 with an old person's body lol. I wish I…

I need support!
I had a couple of my friends sign up on here with me but I am the only one who is still actually using it. I'm honest on my diary and put everything I eat on there. But it would be nice to have some ppl put my diet on check every once in a while and have the support. So I guess I'm looking for friends to keep my *kitten*…

Alli.. stuck in weight loss
I have been struggling with my weight. I got down to 161 and then I had surgery and I am back at 171. I was put on steroids which I know can make you gain weight but nothing is helping. I am eating 1300 calories a day, exercising about 3-4 times a week (as much as I can right now) and my weight just keeps going up and…
