Still Confused About Calorie Counting...
Okay, so I've been with MFP for a while, and I'm still confused about calorie counting....ie, calories vs net calories vs calories burned.... I have my Settings set to Active because I walk/run about 7 miles 7 days a week at my job. I also am quite active with my kids and their school as well as my own school and…

Stand Up PaddleBoarding
Hey there!! So, this summer I really want to get into SUPing, but I am clueless as to what a decent brand board is..... Do any of you guys prefer one over the other?? I've rented the last couple times and can't remember what I used. I am very much a beginner, and it will be used only in mostly calm lakes around here.…

Jillian Kickboxing...???
I was just curious as to how others logged the JM Kickbox Fast Fix into their diaries... It's not totally kickboxing and it's not totally circuit...should I split the two?? I don't have a HRM, soooo....

Thoughts on Body Cleanses
Just curious as to what you all thought about full body cleanses. Does it really get a diet going?? Or is it a complete waste of time?? Or worse yet, is it bad for your health??? Those of you who have done it, did you do your own Home Version, or did you buy all the drinks and do a "GNC version" of the cleanse??

Indoor cycling trainer
I was curious whether or not anyone out there uses an Indoor Cycling Trainer...you know, the one you put your own bike into?? I see lots of different brands on Amazon, but wanted to get a reliable one. Thanks!!

Sleep....and salt
First off, I was curious as to how detrimental a lack of sleep is to your health/weight loss?? I average about 3-4 hours per night, but lately, with packing my house and my grandma in the hospital, I've gone up to 40 hours without sleep and could probably count on two hands the total amount of sleep I've gotten.…

Daily Calories...
When you guys track your foods, are you more concerned about reaching at least 1200 in your FOOD category or reaching that in your NET category? It just seems impossible to get that high some days.... I go on hikes that can sometimes last 3-4 hours, and those burn more calories than I am allowed in a day! I don't want to…

Protein
Hey all... I was wondering what are the best kinds of protein. I've heard that some of them can make you gassy (is it whey?) and some just really aren't what they claim to be. What are your thoughts? And what kind of recipes do you have that include protein powder?

Bras!
Ladies... What bras do you use for exercise? I have two sports bras that I hate because my boobs flop! I have two kids, so I have the "mama boobs" that have moved from their natural habitat. They seem to be uncomfortable in anything I wear. Are there any good sports bras out there that have a little extra support to them?…

Snack Attack!
Hey all... So, I always have a serious deficit in my caloric intake because I am afraid if I start snacking I won't be able to stop. But, now I'm thinking, is it really that bad to snack through the day? In all honesty, I would rather snack on healthy items all through the day, rather than sit down for meals. Would that be…

Any vegetarians?
Hey all!! I am always up for adding new friends, but I'd like to see a few who follow a vegetarian diet...I need meal ideas!! I've been a veg head since I was 5, but never really learned to eat properly because I was raised on a cattle farm...and they all thought I was just weird! Haha! Much thanks!!!

Motivation
I was just wondering where some of you guys get your motivation from? I always get so pumped up when I start dieting and losing weight, but I slack off really quickly! How did some of you pass the obstacles and how long did it take?

Before your period!!
Hey ladies...How do you control your bad habits right before your period?? I have always joked about being like a vacuum in the kitchen that week before my period. Now that I am doing something about my weight, I was wondering if any of you could give me advice as to how I can suppress the cravings... Thanks Gals!!

Those with kids
Hey guys, So, I have a 3-year-old and a 5-year-old and would love to get them involved in some of my exercises. I was wondering what you guys do to keep your young ones active with you? It would be fun to get some good suggestions! I live near a lake, so commonly we will walk down there, but my son (3) is always really…

Does It Count??
I deliver papers in the mornings, and I was wondering if I should count it as exercise?? I marked my activity level as active, and didn't know if that covered it or not. I am out for 4 hours every morning, and, though I have a foot route, I am rural so I have to drive to each house. I do run the paper to the doorstep at…

Not Hungry
So, I just started my diet only a few days ago, and now I have absolutely no desire to eat. Is this normal?? The only other time I've been on a diet was when I did the Special K thing a few years ago. What are your thoughts??

Veg Head
Hey, so I am a vegetarian...have been most of my life!...and am in the habit of eating horribly. I eat mostly carbs because I never learned to eat like a veggie. I was raised on a cattle farm, so I was the only veggie! Do any of you have any good websites or suggestions for finding awesome, kid-friendly veggie meals??…

Hey there...I'm new here!
Hey, so I'm not new to MFP, but new to the boards. I am looking for people to help give me encouragement and support. I have tried diets with friends, and I usually do pretty well...until I find out that they are cheating on theirs, so then I say To heck with it! I am always very very busy, so eating out (fast food…
