Why does the 30DS work?
Hello! So I've been doing the 30 day shred, but I was wondering exactly why it works/what the science was behind it (besides Jillian's explanation in the L1 video). Thanks everyone! Hope you are having super duper days!

Protein Shakes
Hello! I noticed that quite a few people use protein shakes, particularly after working out. I was just wondering what the benefits are (besides the fact that your body should be getting protein after working out), if they are low cal, filling, etc.

Inches not pounds... explanation?
Hello! So recently I've been able to shrink down two belt holes (holla!), but my weight is staying the same. I know it's because I have been running and my newish job is pretty active. I am SOOO excited that everything is fitting better, and I would rather see these kinds of results rather than a change in number. But my…

NSV!
Hello! Just thought I would share my little NSV! I was always the kid who needed to take a walk break while warming up for gym going .25 miles around the track haha. I also always said that my body can't run... that's why I ride horses... so they do the running for me. Such lame excuses lol. But I am home for the summer (I…

My Plateau at 160...
Hello! So I've been plateauing at 160 or so for the past 6 months or so (I started at 180). I've just started running and I have a really active job that I am at for about 4-6 hours every day. For the most part, I stay under my calories everyday. I usually eat pretty healthy too, but I'm not perfect haha - but I do try to…

Newbie Runner
Hello! I'm 21 and I have never been athletic in any sense that included running (I was more of a horseback riding girl... the horse ran for me haha). However, when I run I tend to lose weight more easily than doing any other aerobic exercise (I lost my first 20 pounds on the elliptical). So I am home for the summer and I…

NSV - sort of
Hi! So there wasn't anything in particular that I noticed about my weight loss, except that I thought I could finally get the navel piercing that I have had sitting in the back of my mind for ages. I took a look at my stomach and realized... it wouldn't look that bad right now. So I went today and got it! And I adore it -…

Navel Ring
Hello! I just had a question for anyone who has any experience with navel rings. I want to get mine done once I get to my "healthy" BMI weight (150, and I am currently 162). However, I want to continue to lose 10-20 pounds after that. I was wondering if losing weight affects the piercing at all (placement, size, etc.), and…

Those who work out at the same time everyday...
Hi! So I used to ping pong my gym time all over my schedule (I'm in college and I'd fit it in wherever I could). But now I get up at 5:40 and head to the gym at the same time and I love getting it done early. But I do tend to trail off with it if I don't make it a solid habit (I've been doing this for 2 weeks and so far so…

Snowboarding!
Hey everyone! I was just wondering if there were any snowboarders (or skiiers) out there that know if the MFP calorie counter for snowboarding is at all accurate (reasonably at least). Thanks!

Hello! A bit new!
Hello! I have been on MFP now for 2 weeks, but it took me a while to get on the boards! I'm Siobahn, a junior in college studying biology and I'm on the pre-med track. I've been slowly gaining weight four years ago. Once I stopped horse back riding - my main source of exercise - my bad eating habits mixed with a lack of…
