NOOOO!!!! HERNIATED DISC!!! now what??
Long story short, I was steam cleaning my couches a few months ago and had some mild back pain that came and went ever since. It didn't seem bad enough to get it checked out but yesterday I was picking my daughter up (she weighs 28lbs) and immediately felt something in my lower back go terribly wrong. Spent all of…

Starting Ripped in 30 today, question about weights!
So I downloaded ripped in 30 on itunes today and watched the trailer. She said you need one set of light weights and one set of heavy. I already have 3lbs so I went out and bought 8lbs. Yea, yea I know that's not "heavy" but I'm working my way up. Anyway, I watched part of the first workout and she never says when to use…

Do you have a Samsung Galaxy S3? (not mfp related)
So I'm probably going to sound REALLY lame for asking this but if you have a Samsung galaxy s3, can you please tell me how to get it to autocorrect when typing? Is it even possible? It never does it on its own and it's making me HATE it. I have to either go back andffix everything I type or suffer with a million typos.…

Clothing NSV! The ladies will appreciate this!
For as long as I can remember, I've layered a tank top (the long satin strap jersey knit kind) under EVERYTHING I wear. It used to be because I don't like cleavage showing, but as I gained weight they held in my jiggly belly and bra fat as well as my boobs lol. Well today I am proud to say I wore a maxi dress (that was a…

cardio or less calories?
So I keep reading on here that cardio is basically useless and yada yada. So my question is, simply for weight loss purposes only (not heart health) would cutting 200 calories from the day be the same as jogging for 20 mins and burning 200 calories? If I sound like a total airhead please forgive me lol. I've been following…

Running is bad for women's bodies?
A client of mine who is a nurse recently told me that because of the way women's hips and joints are built, running can cause a lot of issues later in life. Examples she gave were developing hip and knee problems, and needing surgery. Does anyone know if there's any truth to this or is anyone a long time runner that can…

month long plateau..help!!!
I've hit a plateau and it's driving me nuts! I was steadily losing 1-2 lbs a week for about 2 months and now nothing. I was doing the 30ds 5 days a week with additional cardio a few days a wk. I need a break from Jillian so I've just been jogging 30-40 mins on the treadmill and doing some strength moves I picked up from…

thoughts on artificial sweetners?
I drink mainly water (a lot of it), but I do love my morning coffee!! I use 1 packet of splenda per cup and I only have 1 cup per day, maybe 2. Is this a detrimental amount of splenda?? I would have to use 2-3 tsp of regular sugar to get the sweetness I prefer, which is why I reach for the splenda. I know artificial…

24 cinnamon teddy grahams (130cal) dipped in a sugar free chocolate pudding cup (70cal). It reminds me of chocolate cream pie, which I LOVE! yum!! What are some low cal sweets you love??

Is the 30 Day Shred enough??
I love the 30ds and am currently starting it again at level one. I feel like I'm in a little better shape this time around so sometimes I feel like it's not enough exercise (not so much the intensity, it's still hard, but it's so short) and I hop on the treadmill and jog for an extra 10-20 mins. Does anyone else combine…

just calculated my tdee...have a question!!
So I've been doing the whole 1200 calorie thing without much success. I just calculated my tdee using a calculator on IIFYM.com. It came to 2217. After subtracting %20 I get 1774. Soooo...do I still eat back my excercise calories using this method?? P.s. hooray for more food! Hahaha...
