Neck/Head Issues With Ab Exercises
Anyone else have trouble NOT straining their neck when doing ab exercises on the floor??? And it seems like the harder I try not to strain it, I end up making it worse. Also, I'm getting conflicting messages in my workout DVDs about the proper position of your chin to prevent strain. In Billy Blanks' Insane Abs he…

Getting pregnant after losing weight
After having 3 kids (and becoming a few pounds shy of a beached whale with each) I lost about 50 pounds and am finally in a much healthier weight range. My husband and I are toying with the idea of having another baby and before I act on it I've been considering many things, one thing is my weight loss. I fear that being…

What are your favorite crock pot recipes?
I have a few go-to ones of my own but I'm looking to add more to my repertoire. :wink: For someone with a busy schedule (like myself) using a crock pot frequently is a no-brainer, so I'm sure all your feedback will help more than just me. Thanks in advance! :flowerforyou:

Android Marathon App
I hear a lot about apps for the iphone to help train for marathons/half-marathons, but nothing for Droids. :grumble: Any one aware of one? I've decided I'm going to train for a half-marathon and would love to have a program right on my phone...

I need a challenge...do you?
Hi everyone! :happy: I'm starting this thread to help myself get back into the mode I once was in with my weight loss, and slowly fell away from. I've found that I do better focusing on short-term goals rather than long ones, so I'll be posting weekly fitness and dietary challenges. I welcome all of you to join me! Here's…

Healthier Christmas Goodies
I typically bake a variety of cookies and package them up nicely as my gift for family and friends each year for Christmas. This year I'd like to go in a healthier direction. I mean, it's kind of hypocritical to give someone something that I wouldn't want them to give me. And why not show my loved ones that eating…

Days of Our Lives
About 9 years ago a friend got me in to watching Days of Our Lives (after I made fun of her for watching it LOL!). I watched it for about 4 years but due to my work schedule I couldn't keep up. For some odd reason I decided to set a DVR timer to record all the new episodes so I've been trying to get in to it again. Even…

May Mini Challenge
I'm setting a mini-goal to hit by May 1st, to help keep me on track for my "ultimate goal". I'd like to be in the 160s by then. I already know a few of you are in for this but I wanted to open it up to anyone else who may need a little motivation to get them thru the next month and a half or so. So, who's in????????

Don't leave me BOOTY!!!!!!!
As I began losing weight I figured I would lose it the same way I gained it - all over. 46 pounds later has proven that is the case. I was scared that I would lose my booty (hubby is a booty man) but as I lost weight it still seemed to be there so I was happy. That is, until last week. My husband made a comment while…

Calories VS Cell Phone Minutes
I know that some cell phone providers offer roll-over minutes for all unused minutes included in your plan. Would that same logic apply to our daily goal for caloric intake? Example: If I have 200 calories left at the end of the day is it healthy and within my diet plan to not eat them but "roll them over" for a splurge…

VEGGIE PREP
Ok so I know that (or think I know that) fresh veggies are better steamed because they retain their nutrients. First of all, is this true? Secondly, how do you steam them? And is it bad to boil them, does it make them less healthy? What about frozen veggies, what is the best way to prep them? Sorry for the grand…

~ACCOUNTABILITY~
DAY 3 Yesterday I stayed within my calories, with the exception of the popcorn I ate at like 10:30 at night! I had a really crazy and hectic evening at home yesterday and couldn't resist the urge to scarf down on something - I'm glad it was only a few cups of popcorn opposed to half of a large pizza! I have recently…

DAY TWO Today has been a great day thus far. The sun came out and warmed the city and while at my doctor appointment I was commended for having great blood pressure! I'm feeling good after last night's spinning class (first time I went in about 3 months) and I've eaten well all day. All in all, today has been a success!…

CONSUMPTION
QUESTION: Do you all consume ALL of the values represented by MFP for each category (calories, fat, carbs, etc.)? Or do you just not exceed? I understand the importance of consuming all of the calories, so I guess I'm asking about the other categories. I have added all my food and exercise for the day and I'm left with 98…
