Any p90xers in here?
Starting p90x, day 25, and I feel like I'm not doing something right. No weightloss, minimal to no measurement change. Doing all of the workouts and keeping my heart rate in the burn zone during. Eating 1600-1800 cals daily. What to do?

Stuffed bell peppers
So the hardest part about my new healthy lifestyle is cooking for both my fiance' and myself. He is atleast 6 foot only about 160 lbs... needless to say weightloss is NOT an issue for him. But without his support it would be almost impossible for me. Thankfully he jumped on board and was ready and willing to try all of my…

Faux mashed potatoes
So, has anyone heard of making mashed cauliflower in place of mashed potatoes? Well don't write it off just yet. The idea definitely was off-putting for me, but I figured, hey, couldn't hurt right? So today I boiled a head of cauliflower (until it was extremely tender), drained the excess water, and began to mash. It is a…

chicken lettuce wraps!!!
Another household fav that my boyfriend and I absolutely CAN'T get enough of is chicken lettuce wraps! Can't really go wrong here.... however I sub the cooking oil for organic pam. I'm sure you can tailor it to your tastes if you don't like a particular ingredient. But I used to work at PF Changs... and this was one of my…

Aunt Flo...
So it is always a given that you retain water during your (ladies) TOM? Or is it possible to not be bloated, or to not retain fluid? I am checking the scale, and only see about 1 lb difference from my current weight... so could that mean that I am not bloated/retaining water, or that I am, and could actually be a little…

Gave in to my craving...
I have BEEN craving a breakfast burrito... and today I finally gave in. But to make it as healthy as possible, I made it with egg whites, fresh tomatoes, onions, and fat free cheese. (I didn't need to season it because of the fresh veggies, plus I want to keep my sodium relatively low. It is only lunch time :laugh: ) The…

Looking forward to...
fill in the rest. Looking forward to... not waiting until no one is looking to hurry and get into the pool before someone sees me in my swimsuit. ;) Looking forward to... being the person OTHER people ask for advice in losing weight. Looking forward to... hearing, "You look great! And you had a baby when??!" So many things…

Activity level?
What is the best way to know my activity level? I put sedentary on my profile... because I don't really do anything besides my workouts every day. Just an at home mommy with a 3 month old. But I am young... could that make a difference? I am not THAT overweight, at least I don't think so. I believe I am pretty active...…

To all fast food lovers, present or past.
A friend on mine showed me this video... and it has NEVER been able to leave my mind! Never again will I consume a fast food burger... now fries, it might be a little harder... but everytime I watch this video I remember why I am changing my habits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IGtDPG4UfI

Which is more important?
To eat my minimum of calories, or to stay under my sodium requirment? I only have about 100 mg of sodium left... but a bunch of calories left. Not too sure which one is more important. Can check my diary if you want.
-
Help!
So I only have about 60 mg of sodium left for dinner... what are some good options?? I am trying to eat atleast my 1200 cals... but it is HARD! I am not even hungry! :ohwell: Can you guys check out my diary and give me suggestions?! Let me know if my eating habits are ok, and if there is anything I should tweak to have a…

AGAIN???
I go over my protein and fiber EVERYDAY!!! No matter what I do, I go over. Today, my protein was 100. I burned a little over 500 calories today... but I am over on protein by 37, and fiber by about 14. I know I keep posting about fiber and protein, I am just afraid that going over on these will hinder my weightloss. I…

So... silly me!
As many times as I have used MFP, I JUST figured out that you could send messages and add people as friends! Just to think, I haven't even fully been using this site to the full potential! But it's ok, I know now!!!:tongue: Ps. This may be silly, but when someone says "DH" what does that stand for? :blushing:
-
is this okay?
For breakfast, is it okay to have two eggs and a packet of grits? Or is that unhealthy... I am trying to keep my protein high so that I can have energy for my workouts... especially because I don't workout until the end of the day... when I normally start to get tired. I don't want to resort to energy pills or anything...…

No progress??
So I have stopped making progress... or so I think. I have been the same weight and measurements for the past week, week and a half. What to do now? I still need to lose atleast another 20 lbs... I can't plateau yet!!
-
question about going over on numbers...
If I went over fat by 1, and went over protein by 24, but didn't go over on anything else, stuck to my 1200 calories for the day, worked off 300 cals with exercise and also did strength training... will this affect my weight loss negatively? I don't go over my protein that often, if anything I go over on sugar in the…

Exercise and meal plan ideas! Help a sister out! ;)
Ok, so here it is, this is the first time in my long 22 year old life (wink wink) that I am losing weight on my own... no diet pills, no quick fixes, nothing of the sort. I just had a baby 2 months ago to date, and I am back in the gym, determined to get back in shape and get into a bikini by August. I would like to be…

Going over protein??
So I have an issue, at least I think. My diet is a 1200 calorie limit, but the trend seems to be that I go over my protein but not my calories, carbs or fat. Is that bad for me? For example, yesterday I went over my protein by 20. It says I should have 45g of protein/ day, but I have been going over. Now today, I will…
