TDEE- help me determine the activity level
I'm using this website for a calculator: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ Currently, I am doing Jillian Micheal's 30 Day Shred (25 minutes) and Killer Abs (35 minutes). I rotate through the levels to keep it interesting. I'd say I average about 1 hour per day for 6 days of the week. I have a desk job. I have…

How many of your MFP friends are IRL friends?
I have 4 friends on MFP that I know in real life. It doesn't bother me if they know my weight or what I eat. I talk about it all the time anyways, lol. So how many IRL friends do you have and what do you think about friending people you know in real life?

So, can I just run?
I am at a nice level of fitness right now. I have been exercising regularly for almost 9 months and have completed 30 day shred, Body Revolution, and am 8 days away from finishing Insanity. There is a walking bridge that is about 1.5 miles each way and is flat near where I live. I have never ran before (as exercise). Do I…

Dried Seaweed/ Kelp Powder
I'm using a recipe tonight that calls for kelp powder but I could not find it at my grocery store. I found Dried Seaweed sheets (like for sushi I guess). There are no instructions on the package. Can I just grind these sheets up to get the 1 teaspoon needed to mix into a breadcrumb mixture as a spice? I've never used…

Chocolate Tofu Pudding
My husband's mom makes this all the time and I just tried making it myself tonight. It's so easy and is a great way to sneak in some tofu if you have little ones. The consistency is smooth and creamy and it just tastes so good. I want to try cutting down on the sugar a bit or substituting with some splenda perhaps.…

Hooping?
I read an article in the WW magazine May/June 2013 pg 42 about using hula hoops for exercise. Not kid hula hoops, but weighted hoops for adults. I know that there are classes offered at some gyms but I have 2 little ones at home and can't join a gym now for that reason. Can someone that has no hooping experience (and may…

Fish Question
If I buy the frozen packet of deboned talapia fillets, will I ever actually come across a bone. How likely is it? Background (if you need it); I have been vegetarian for about 15 years. During the last 6 years I have gone on and off with eating fish. When I did eat fish, it was only at a restaurant where someone else…

Stacey's Secret Ingredient Brownies
I saw this online somewhere and then tweaked it a bit to include more protein. No eggs, no oil. My kids were begging me for another brownie. Of course I didn't tell them what was in there. They are so moist and I don't think anyone would think twice that they weren't "regular" brownies. (1) 19.5 ounce box Pillsbury brownie…

Quick Question- MFP settings

Corn Tortillas
Are some types of corn tortillas only for frying? I bought a new brand because it was really authentic sounding and the tortillas seem to be thicker than usual. I usually use flour tortillas so maybe I am just not used to the corn. They took a while to soften up when I put them in a dry hot saute pan, and then they were…

Attn Insanity People- Given up on trying to do it in the AM
Since starting my "journey" last August I have always enjoyed exercising first thing in the morning. I get up, pack lunches for my daughters and myself, get in my workout clothes and kill it. Since starting the Insanity program that has not really worked. I'm on Month 2 day 5 and I don't know what it is, but I just can't…

Profile pics with your phone
Um, it always gets to me. If you are going to take a pic with your phone, can't you hold it in such a manner that the phone is out of the frame? I understand that some people wish to remain anonymous and so it makes sense when you are totally blocking your face with your phone. It's the people that hold it like right next…

HELP! Peanut Butter Fudge Protein Bars FAIL
Well, I adjusted this recipe and it came out all wrong. I should have just followed as is but I chickened out a bit when I saw how much peanut butter and honey it was. So I reduced those ingredients and it was not moist enough. Now I have these bars in my fridge, but I'd like to repurpose them because I spent a lot of…

Is a pinch of salt really 500 mg sodium?
In the food database what do you use to enter a pinch of salt? And what is the sodium count for it? I can only find one for 1 gram and 500 mg sodium. Seems a lot to me. Thanks!

How much honey in plain greek yougurt?
Hi guys! I love greek yogurt but have always gotten the ones with flavors already added. Trying to cut down on carbs and sugars and increase my protein levels while doing Insanity. The shoprite brand of plain greek yogurt has 18 grams of protein per 6 ounce cup! Yoplait greek 100's only have 10 grams. Plus if I could get…

Quick Insanity Question
On the days when Cardio Abs is scheduled in addition to another workout, does it matter if you do the DVD's back to back? I'm at the end of week 2. Did Pure Cardio this morning right after waking up, so empty stomach. I was pretty done by the end doing the Suicide Drills at a slow pace, like 1 for every 3 they were doing…

What's your HRM range?
Hi there! Kindly post the range that you usually see on your heart rate monitor when working out. Also might be appropriate to post age, weight, and type of exercise if you like! When I put mine on in the morning, after getting on my workout clothes and moving my coffee table out of the way, it usually registers between…

Any Body Revolution lovers try Insanity?
I completed JMBR on January 31st. Had amazing results and LOVED the program. I plan to do it again but in a while. I just need a change up. I have been doing various Jillian DVD's like No More Trouble Zones, Killer Abs, and Kickbox Fast Fix. I love them all but I like working toward a specific goal, such as a 90 day or 60…

How do you guys feel about Jillian's response to this?
Hi there! Age, weight, intensity, all can affect calorie burn. The best way to gauge that is with a heart rate monitor. I use a Polar F11 and love it. There are more and less expensive models out there. Here is also a post of Jillian's from the Ask Jillian archive- There is a formula you can use to estimate calorie burn:…

Vanilla vs. Chocolate Protein Powder
So, hands down, I would choose chocolate over vanilla for pretty much everything. Ice cream, cakes, pudding, whatever- I like it in chocolate. So WHY did I get my first protein powder in vanilla? I was rushing and it was a spontaneous purchase. Should I return it and get a chocolate flavor instead? Thoughts???

WWYD?
OK, so it's 11:38 p.m. I've got -16 caloroes for today. No biggie. I would like an I.P.A. Do I wait until 12:01 a.m. and log it as a snack , or do I open it now and take the hit? :laugh:

Workout all at once or break up into morning/evening?
Common sense tells me it's probably better to do one hour of vigorous exercise all at once, but my schedule makes it hard to do. I do Jillian Michael's DVD's and she is real good about increasing your heart rate right away ( I use a monitor). Do you suppose there is a lot of difference between doing a half hour in the…

Kid's party cupcakes- applesauce or greek yogurt?
I've never substituted in box cakes before. I'm going to buy dunkin hines mix and have read that you can substitute plain greek yogurt for the oil. Anyone try that and how did it taste? Or do you prefer applesauce and do I just sub 1/3 cup oil for 1/3 cup applesauce? (or whatever the measurement is, I don't have the box…

Best sports bra for big chested ladies.
http://www.amazon.com/Enell-High-Impact-Sports-Bra/dp/B000IWEJDE/ref=pd_sim_sg_1 I have had mine for years. It is like a reverse corset and it is not the most comfortable thing but it does the job. You can jump rope, do high impact aerobics with a huge chest and they will stay in place. I exercise at home mostly so it…

Anyone in phase 3 of Jillian's Body Revolution?
Hi all! I am looking to add a few friends that are in the final phase of Body Revolution. I just finished Cardio 3 for the first time this morning. It was crazy! My endorphins were nuts! And I got a heart rate monitor for Christmas and I burned 338 calories! I would have only logged 240. I am so happy Santa brought it for…
