Bikini by July 4th Challenge? Anyone up for it?!
My goal is to wear a bikini for the July 4th weekend when we go away on vacation! I'd love some buddies to help keep me accountable until then and I'd love to help motivate others too! We'd do a weekly check-in thread. The challenge would start on Monday (eek!!), so this challenge would go for the next eight weeks leading…

Did anyone start ChaLEAN Extreme this month?
As of yesterday I have completed the first two weeks of ChaLEAN Extreme! I start week 3 tomorrow and I'm loving it. I forgot how much I LOVE lifting weights!!! I'm just looking for a check-in or some other ChaLEAN buddies to share with, trade tips, recipes, frustrations, success and motivation. I can't be the only one on…

Any Tracy Anderson fans here?
I really like Tracy Anderson--I enjoy her ballet/dance/pilates inspired workouts and man do I feel the sore muscles the next day!! I've been doing the mat workout several times a week, but to ramp up my regimen I downloaded the treadmill routine last Friday. Oh my goodness, what a killer routine... the skipping and…

Don't tell me I can't!
Don't tell me I can't do something, b/c you know what??? It's just going to drive me to do something even harder!! Right before the New Year I had a conversation with my sister about how I really liked this new pair of pajamas I had gotten for Christmas. She urged me to get another pair while they were on sale if I liked…

Who else is a nursing mama on MFP?
I am! I'm just wondering who else out there is and how many calories per day you give yourself, what is your carbs/protein/fat set up like, and how are you doing with losing weight? I think that losing while nursing isn't easy!! How are you doing with it all? I've lost about 15lbs since September and I'm just taking it…

Anyone starting ChaLEAN on Jan. 4th?
That's when I'm starting!! And I'd love to have a few other buddies to hold me accountable and I just thought it would be fun to check-in with each other and talk about the program. I just ordered the other day and my shipping info says it should be here by the 4th, so that's when I'm planning to start. I can't wait!!!

Too much fat?
I'll preface this by saying I eat real foods. We drink raw milk from a nearby farmer, eat eggs from happy farm chickens, only use real organic butter, enjoy good cheese, make yogurt from our raw milk, buy a 1/2 a cow and chickens from our organic farmer and then obviously lots of fresh fruits & veggies and whole grains…

Zig Zaggin Calories?
I've heard several people on here mention "zig zagging calories." What does that mean? Is it just eating 1300 one day, 1500 the next day, 1200 the next, etc... just to keep your body guessing? Can someone fill me in on what it is and if it works. I'm intrigued.

Going over the recommended fat intake amount?
I seem to be right on in the calorie dept, but it seems I keep going over my recommended fat intake for the day by 5-15 fat grams. I know if that happened now and then that it wouldn't be a big deal, but it seems to be happening pretty often which may explain stalling out at a 6lbs loss. I feel like a lot of my fat intake…
-
P90X?
I've seen parts of the informercial and I am intrigued. Right now I do pilates/yoga and an ecotrekking (outdoor cardio/strength training) that I love, but I couldn't believe these before and after photos. Wow! I'd love to hear some other P90X success stories and of course, maybe from the few that didn't find the program…

Does anyone have a healthy muffin recipe?
Occassionally (like on weekends) I love a muffin with my coffee and fresh fruit. I'd much rather bake something healthy with quality ingredients. Does anyone have a great fiber-filled muffin recipe to share?

New here and I'm excited!
I like how simple this is and the food diary has been great... I can find every healthy food that I am eating, so that has been super helpful. I'm a stay-at-home mom and keeping track of my calories has been SO eye-opening. I used to do so much snacking (even healthy snacking) and it's so easy to forget how those calories…
