lifting suggestions/tips/help
Hi all, In the last 3 months or so, I've had a personal trainer who has helped me tremendously with weight lifting. I am in love with lifting heavy but not so in love with the cost of hiring a trainer to help me. I used to do triathlons and learned a ton about endurance sports, and I know a decent amount about nutrition,…

My body is freaking out on me.
I feel like my body is freaking out on me. I have been weightlifting for about a year but I had a horrible diet and gained about 30 lbs of fat (maybe just a little muscle). In the last few months (July-ish), I've gotten pretty serious about lifting heavy with a personal trainer. In the last few weeks, I've started tracking…

All stopped up ;)
Hi all, everyone's favorite oversharing question :) I'm super backed up. I wasn't having any problems until this week. My fiber over the past week is 24-54 grams a day. I'm drinking record amounts of water. I searched the forums and I've tried the smooth move tea, probiotics, magnesium, black coffee first thing in the…

I throw my hands up in the air sometimes!
Doing a happy dance today! I ROCKED healthy eating on a holiday! And not only a holiday, but a holiday when I worked 1pm - 6am (17 hour day and overnight shift). Surrounded by so. much. food at work and I didn't give into temptation. Kind of weird, I hit my calorie goal EXACTLY -- 1610 cals... what are the chances of that?…

Trying not to be discouraged :-/
Hi all, I weighed in today and the scale hadn't budged at all from last week. so discouraging. I have been exercising hard (burning about 1000 calories a workout with 5 workouts a week) and eating about 1700-1800 calories a day and drinking enough water. MFP has me at 1630 calories and I haven't been hitting it exactly. I…

when I went vegetarian...
Hi all! After being a reluctant meat eater all my life, I had an epiphany this week -- if I don't like meat, I don't have to eat it! I don't consider myself a vegetarian for the main reason that I love fish and also, I'm not opposed eating meat, I just don't really have a desire to (except for fish). I feel like a whole…

Insanity workout question
Hi all! I am four days into Insanity and loving it. I'm about 75 lb overweight and am wondering if any others have run into a similar problem as me. My kangaroo pouch is seriously getting in the way of my workout!! High knees, plank sprints, etc... There's literally no physical way I can do some of these moves lol. I've…

Losing weight round 3
Hi all! Back in January 2008 I had my "aha" moment and started losing weight. I went from 308 to 255 in a few months. I slowly lost 10 more lbs over the next year (didn't try, I guess my metabolism was just really revved up!), then stayed at 245 for a while. In October 2010 I started losing weight again and got down to…

90 lbs GONE :)
Hi everyone, This is my first post. I always use MFP on my phone and didn't realize there was a whole community associated with it until I checked out the website! I've been overweight my entire life and aside from doing the crazy diet plans which last just a few days I have had two major pushes to lose weight. The first…
