Starting Body Beast, join me?
I've been getting ready all week to start Body Beast and I'll be starting on Monday. Anyone else doing this program or done it already? I can't seem to find many. Add me if you like, I'm a little intimidated and would love to motivate each other.

Severe abdominal pain. Protein powder?
On Monday I started a weight lifting plan and put a lot of effort into my nutrition and by Thursday I was in severe pain barely able to stand. I was eating around 2200 calories with 200g of protein and around 40g of fiber because I know protein really binds me up if I don't eat enough fiber. I had two protein shakes a day…

What syncs with myfitnesspal?
I'm looking for recommendations for HRMs that sync with myfitnesspal. I'll be able to get one through my insurance in a month or two and was wondering what you guys like. I've thought about fitbits but I'm not sure that it does enough for what I want. I want to be able to have a more accurate count of my calories burned…

It's true, I ingested my placenta.
I'm wondering if anyone else has done this. For those with weak stomaches, I did not just sit down at the kitchen table with a fork and knife and eat my first born's placenta. I had a women cook, dehydrate, and then encapsulate my placenta to be taken like any other vitamin. I read an article about it when I was pregnant…

Looking for some fellow pregnant gals!
I'm 3.5 months pregnant with my second child. I've been on MFP for more than a year and lost 30lbs. I'm not on here as often now that I'm pregnant but since I'm now in my second trimester I'm hoping I'll feel a bit better and be able to do more. I'd like some friends to do this with that are still on here more than…

Salt is my worst nightmare! Anyone else?
The other day I was at work and I could tell my blood pressure was rising. I wasn't upset or anxious, I could just feel my heart start pounding harder so I asked a coworker to take my blood pressure (I work at a medical clinic). My blood pressure was through the roof which is extremely unusual for me. I have perfect blood…

How to log work hours?
Just wondering how/if everyone logs the hours they work in for exercise. I work at a hospital and I know that most of the time I'm burning calories from all the walking around I do. Does anyone else have a similar job and they log it, or do you just forget it and not worry about going a little over your calories?

My simple NSV
Today someone asked me why my wedding ring was almost falling off my finger and it didn't really hit me until I said it out loud, but I said "Well, I lost about 40lbs." I am almost 2/3 of the way to my goal. I've lost 37lbs and I can't believe it! I still have to step on the scale 3 times before I trust the number. I have…

Awesome NSV
For as long as I can remember whenever I sat down and had a meal, whether at my own home or somebody else, I always stuffed my face until I was beyond uncomfortably full. I always got second AND usually thirds. If there was food in front of me I just couldn't stop shoving it into my mouth, even if I already felt sick. Well…

Point me in the right direction.
Hi everyone, I'm looking for a blog around here that's focused on weight training women. I need some new ideas because I plan to start more strength training very soon. Usually I do a bunch of research on my own and then go from there but I'm feeling bored with that and would love to just read about someone else and their…

How to curb sugar cravings?
Does anyone have any ideas for curbing my sugar cravings? That is the biggest problem that I face with my weight loss. I never used to care so much about sweets until I got pregnant 3 years ago and ever since I can't go through the day without almost binging on any sugar I can get my hands onto. I try not to buy too many…

Need some more friends!
Hi everyone! I've been on MFP for about 2 months, I think. I have a few friends but I'm looking for more to keep pushing me. Here's a little of my story. I'm 22 years old. So far I've lost 20 pounds. 10 I lost doing a 10 day juice fast (you can read about my 10 days @ juicemom1.blogspot.com if you are interested) and the…
