Height vs. exercise?
Here's a question for all of you tall ladies: I've noticed that I have a hard time with certain exercises, and I'm wondering if my height (5'11") has anything to do with it. For example, I'm in the middle of Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred, and am attempting to do the forward and backward lunges at her pace, but I CANNOT…

Question for ladies using spike days...
Hello all! I've just started incorporating a spike day into my week and it seems to be working, but was wondering about some of the parameters you all are using? How many calories do you go over on your spike days? Do you spike once a week? for just one meal, or a whole day? Would love some feedback!

Bikini by Summer of 2012
... Or at least a really cute retro one piece. I took a "before" bikini pic today in front of my Christmas tree, so I can spend the next 5 months making an "after". I've got the long, now I just need the lean to make me feel comfortable enough to wear it out this Summer. Don't know if I'm brave enough to post it, but maybe…

what is your daily calorie goal?
Just wondering what some of you other Totally Tall women have your calories set at? On most of the forum posts i see shorter women with goals around 1200, and that just doesn't fly with this tall chick! I tried 1300 once and was constantly starving, miserable, AND not losing weight. I usually average around 1600 and it…

Sweet potato puree???
I was strolling the aisles of Trader Joe's the other day (one of my favorite things to do :smile: ) and came across some organic sweet potato puree. Now, I'm not a cook in any way, but I decided to get it, in a moment of lofty ambition, and now it's just sitting lonely in my cupboard. :cry: I suppose my question is, can I…

Calorie balancing act?
Sooo, I went over on my calories yesterday, which I normally am very careful about, but my friends talked me into a couple cocktails. :ohwell: Anyway, my question is should I try to compensate the next couple days by limiting my calories more drastically? Or is it more like what's done is done, and try to stick to the…

Sodium Overload!!!!!
Hello! I've been using MFP for around four weeks now and absolutely LOVE it! Problem: I've come to realize that I've been consuming WAY too much sodium!!! I'm supposed to be getting no more than 2500 mg and some days I'm getting twice that in a day! I'm still losing weight, but am thinking this can't be good, right?…
