Anybody losing on about 1500?
I upped my calories because I was hungry and tired and if that's what it takes to lose weight, then no thanks! I'm 36, 160Lbs, and pretty sedentary outside of intentional exercise, as I work a desk job and drive 3 hours a day. Would like a couple friends who eat at least 1500, preferably without hours of exercise daily or…

Skinny friends please
hi all! I have some great friends already but, like me, they're working hard to still lose weight. I think it would be great to have a few friends who have already met their goals and are maintaining. Please add me if you're an active, daily logger who isn't trying to lose. Congratulations to you all and thanks!

Anybody planning a pregnancy?
Just wondering how this affects your motivation and your diet/fitness goals? My baby girl is 9 months old and I have lost all my baby weight but still have another 10lbs to go and lots of toning. But knowing I will hopefully be pregnant in 2-3 months makes it harder. I dont want to eat too low cal and screw up my hormones…

Homemade yogurt?
I want to try making yogurt in my crockpot but I'm not sure when to add the flavoring (I'm thinking honey and vanilla or fruit). Also, will the final calorie count be the same as the original ingredients?

Where to buy skinfold calipers?
Amazon has some for ~$3-5, shipping is double that. I've looked at Wal mart, Target, local pharmacy, Academy. Did anybody buy some at a store? And are they the best way for the average person to measure body fat %? Thanks!

My funny workout :-)
So as I was reading the book and preparing for this program I was so pumped! Had images of myself working out HARD, lifting heavy, slamming weights, grunting, sweating... like Rocky! Well my workout yesterday looked more like this: I put the baby in front of the tv for 20 minutes to play, where she will be happy as long as…

Is it ok to use MFP default macros?
I manually changed my macros to 40/30/30 but i absolutely cannot hit my protein, and by trying I end up getting my majority of calories from FAT week after week. I actually hit my protein today by eating about 1/2 carton of egg substitute, enough dairy to stop up a bull and a can of beans -not necessarily the way I want to…

Those farther along, how do you FEEL?
So I'm only a couple weeks in, but I feel wiped out all the time! I have to do my lifts at night because all I want is a shower and bed afterwards. I love this program but I miss the "buzz" I get from cardio but don't have the energy to mix some in. Will this get better, or am I just not ready for this program yet? And I…

Stock up on cheap protein!
I know alot of people struggle with grocery costs, especially protein. Just wanted to point out that this weekend is a great time to stock up on lots of protein. With the holiday, all the grocery stores are running huge sales. I haven't bought meat since the memorial day sales so I'll stock up again until labor day :-)

Worth doing once per week?
So I read the book, got our home gym set up, was SO pumped to start, and now absolutely cannot find the time needed except on saturday. Should I do "something else" until I can get my schedule worked out or can I still benefit if I can only do it once a week? I do workout more days per week but this is completely new to me…

How can MFP be so wrong?
So I've manually increased my calories to a point where MFP says I won't lose weight, manually changed my macros, I completely disregard the red numbers on my fat and sugars because they seem unavoidable when eating healthy dairy, nuts and fruits, and no longer log my exercise because MFP doesn't recognize any calorie burn…

Best use of 60 minutes at the gym?
With a 5 month old I am not guaranteed even the 20 minutes per day I need for some videos, but I do get an hour at the gym twice piter week. Assuming this were my only workout on a bad week, what is the best way to spend this time? I usually get on the ellyptical but am worn out and bored FAST, leave exhausted, and dread…
