1000 Calories in 1 Hr of Zumba- Really?!
I have a really hard time buyiing that as an accurate figure. I've heard that like 12 times today- I could buy lunch and dinner if I had a buck every time I heard that today. I'm probably 100+ lbs heavier than the person saying it and about 20 years younger and I know that I wouldn't come near that figure. I mean I'm sure…

Have you ever bought a product b/c of the ads on MSP?
Has anyone clicked on an ad on MFP thinking "I might need that in my life" and then followed through and purchased it- either in a store or via the website? I have -bought a fitbit one from fitbit's site and bought the loreal evercurl cream this weekend- and I love them both! I actually got compliments on my curls today.…

10% Down Need a New Goal or should I maintain for a bit?
So today I hit my first goal of 10%. I'm currently at 235. For the past 12 years this has kinda been my "set" weight or as I like to think of it, a point of equilibrium for me. It's the number I tend to stay at without trying to lose. It's like it's a natural maintenance point, where my "normal" is a break even. Not saying…

Good Pain and Bad Pain and soreness vs injury
Thursday night I kinda hurt myself getting into a van. I had my left leg on the running board and tried to sit down right hip first. When I sat my left foot didn't pivot b/c of the non-skid running board and it was this odd downward twisting motion. And it hurt pretty bad then but by the time I got home (like ten minutes…

Suggestions for left over lasagna noodles??
I made lasagna roll ups, and I thought I had made enough sauce and filling for 16 roll ups- but I only got 12 so now I have about 6 cooked noodles left. I really hate to waste them. Any ideas?

Sports Bra Hell & Couch to 5K troubles
It's a special sort of indignty to go sports bra shopping when your regular size is 40 H. First I went to the sporting goods store in the mall- and they had the bright neon adidas and nike and under armor ones- for about $35-$50. The male manager comes up to me and asks if I need any help- and I'm like well, I'm wanting to…

Can excercise make you too sleepy?
I've been at this for about 8 weeks. And more days than not I'm getting some excercise in which by all accounts is good. And it has made me sleep better. But lately waking up has been so hard! A month ago I could get up at 5:30 am get a mile or two walk in and get ready and go to work- but the last couple of weeks getting…

Protein- how much is "too much"
Is it bad to be under my calorie target but over the protein target? Like today the calorie target was 1590, and then I earned 330 in exercise and wound up with 1459 calories. The protein target was 72 and I wound up with 84. Since I've been tracking for about 2 weeks I'm noticing that there are several days I'm over the…

Anyone taking Qsymia?
My doctor offered me this today. I haven't done too much research yet apart from knowing my insurance does not cover it. Apparently you have to do it through mail order and have a credit card on file to get started? Sounds super complicated to me, and I took accutane which was an exercise in why healthcare costs so much-…
