Shin Splints--braces?
Ok...I've always had a problem with shin splints. They started in HS and every time I start running or any other cardio...they come back. I started Insanity a few weeks ago and the shin splints started gradually. My first thought was my shoes but they're not that old and I always wore them for running (back when I was…

HELP! I've gained 2 pounds :(
Since I started the Insanity workout program last week (Jan. 10th) I have GAINED 2 pounds...WTH!!! I did up my caloric intake just a tad based on my exercise calories burned. My base is 1260 calories a day plus whatever I burn during my workouts which is 500-650 calories a workout. I try to eat most of my burned calories…

Exercises for "Thunder Thighs"
I'm getting super frustrated with my thunder thighs! Although I've been working out on a regular basis my thighs get no smaller. I am 5'3" and my thighs are 23" (each leg) around!!! It doesn't seem to matter how many lunges, squats, or cardio I do...they don't change at all. I have super muscular quadriceps but the rest of…

Need Support...a challenge maybe/??
I'm a bridesmaid in my brothers wedding on November 13th. Yes that means only 6 weeks away. From Sept. 09-Mar. 10 I did really well and was down to ALMOST (1 pound away) my goal weight. However...I then got sick and had a hard time finishing the school year (i'm a teacher) along with completing my graduate classes and the…

How do I input my exercises?
I want to add some p90x workouts to my daily exercise routines but when I search for it to put it in...nothing shows up. Also...for 30 day shred...are we burning the same amount of calories for every level? or does the amount of calories burned depend on what level we are completing? If I have to create my own workout in…

Workout Buddies (Women ages 25-35)
My original post that I was checking in with each week has fizzled out. I'm looking to start a new post where people can discuss how they're doing each day/week. I found it really helpful to log on everyday and share how the day went for me. What we did was posted our workout for the day and how it went and also how we did…

Anybody from MI?
I'm looking for some "friends" on MFP who are in Michigan! I need some extra support and with this wonderful weather we have here it is difficult to stay motivated to do anything...so I thought if I could find some friends we were feeling the same way I am due to weather. Or if people had some recommendations for community…

Protein
I've been noticing this week that I am using up most of my protein "allowance" between breakfast and lunch...for example, I have a protein shake w/ milk for breakfast and deli turkey and string cheese for lunch. Is it ok if I go over on protein? Last night I did go over because for dinner i had veggies and chicken breast…

Protein Shakes
Any suggestions on a good protein shake for women? I am using the Lean Shake right now and I really like the taste of it...but I think I should get more protein from it if It's my meal replacement every morning. ALL suggestions welcome :)

Too many carbs!!!
OK...so my biggest problem in my diet is my beloved/hated carbohydrates!!! How do I cut them down/out? I love to have rice or pasta with sauteed veggies, I had toast for breakfast, crackers for snack...etc. I need some good low/no carb recipes!!! I'm a semi picky eater I guess...I like vegetables, fruits, turkey and…

New to MFP...and loving it
Ok...so it's only the 2nd day that I've been on here but I'm already loving the food tracker. A littlebit about me... I'm 28 years old and really only am here for myself. I have gained a mere 5-10 pounds in the last two years (since I started dating my boyfriend) and although it's only 5-10 pounds...it makes me LOOK so…
