Kettlebells workout!!
I recently sprained my achilles tendon and am out from running for about a month in the minimum and have been advised to use the elliptical minimally as well. Still plan on biking and weight lifting but I have heard great things about kettlebell workouts. What are some good places to get a run down of workout circuits and…

Workout ideas while Achilles sprain is healing?
I sprained my Achilles tendon about three weeks ago and I've only ran twice in the last three weeks- once for 2 miles and once for 3 miles. This Sunday I ran because my achilles was feeling much better so I tried running 3 miles- I succeeded, but my achilles hurt a lot after that. With more reading, I guess I need to just…

Good at home workouts! Help!
What are some good workouts (half hour to an hour long) that kick your butt, but are fun to do at home as well? I've bought the P90x system, but the guy is annoying and I sold it to one of my friends after using if for 3 months. I have been thinking about purchasing the Zumba dvds, but just curious if there are better and…

Whey Protein Powder- When is best to use it?
Okay, I am not trying to gain muscle, but I've been told multiple times that I need to be eating around 100-120 grams of protein a day. I am trying to work off my last 10lbs and/or drop my overall body fat % from 25 to 21. I workout 5-6 days a week and when I say workout, I really mean it too. I usually do 60-90 minutes of…

Foods that are low in fat and sugar, but high in protein
I want some ideas of foods that are low in fat and sugar, but high in protein to add to my diet with moderate calories. I've been way over my sugar intake lately... My diary has not been the best for the last few days so please don't judge me by my diary. Thanks! I know a few high protein, low fat-low sugar things already:…

Looking for TDEE using friends!
Hi, I just started using TDEE-20% to lose weight after stalling on a plateau for the last month and a half. I've heard it works a lot better, especially for maintenance once I hit goal, but it's nice to have friends that know how it works and can help support me in this journey to lose my last 10-15lbs! Thanks!

Working off the last 10-15lbs- PLATEAUED :(
I've been reading quite a bit and just want to make sure I am reading everything correctly. I am at 140-139 (depending on the day) and trying to lower my overall body fat from 25% to hopefully 20-21% with that I expect to lose about 10 more lbs to do that. With that I've been reading that I quite possibly have not been…

Eating too many carbs?
So here I am, attempting to lose my last 10-15lbs and it has been a STRUGGLE. For the last month I can't seem to budge below 139-140. I just stay there. I've tried not eating back my calories, eating my calories back completely, pushing myself to get 1000+ cal burns at the gym... and nothing. I know you are probably…

Eat back your exercise calories?
I have a question I've been pondering for a few days now... Here's the background to my question...In the past, I normally NEVER eat back my calories from exercising. Mainly because when i first started MFP, I didn't start losing weight until after I stopped eating back the calories. For about the last month and a half…

Any midwesterners? Especially Iowans?
Hey there! I am looking for friends in general, but definitely some of the running types in the midwest and especially in Iowa. It's nice to know that there are others out there dealing with the crap weather we have and peeps who know of fun running events going on in the area! Thanks :)

Cheat day once a week?!
I've been reading articles out of fitness magazines that a cheat day once a week is actually a good thing. It says to eat double the calories you normally do and eat whatever you want (but no alcohol, if there is kiss the cheat day good bye). The articles say that it actually helps to ramp up the metabolism and help keep…

Recovering from laryngitis... workout ideas?
I know, it seems silly for someone to want to hit the gym when they are recovering from laryngitis, but for me, it's very frustrating as i need to do something to help myself and running obviously is not going to help. And of course there is all this chocolate lying around that my parents gave me for Christmas.... and I…

Not new, but want some friends!!
Hello, I have been a member since August of this year and have had some real success with this app, but I have very FEW friends because the mobile app doesn't really allow for accessing boards and all that fun stuff. SO, now I am looking for some friends to help motivate me to lose my last 10 lbs and possible even another…
