Do you have this issue?
It's starting to annoy me that people think just because their kids are in school, I can talk/text all day. I didn't have this issue last year, but one of the schools here started yesterday and my friends in that district just started contacting me ALL DAY knowing full well we homeschool. Yes, we do ACTUAL work. No, I will…

HRM ideas??
I have a sportline HRM that has been amazing.. UNTIL I had to change the battery in the chest strap. Now it works when it wants to, leaving me to keep taking my heart rate with the watch during workouts. I need suggestions on HRMs that have watches that look like actual watches, that don't have huge displays.

Has anyone tried the at-home Tapout workout I saw advertised on TV last night? Is it any good?

wanting to homeschool -again.
Hi everyone, sorry for missed letters in this post but I need a new keyboard. I homeschooled my oldest (girl) for most of 3rd grade last year due to issues at the public school through a k12 charter. I missed 3 weeks due to a massive kidney stone that required 2 surgeries so they kept threatening to kick us out. She wanted…

I raised my calories..
By a few hundred due to a plateau on the advice of a few people I trust. How long does it normally take for the weight to start going down again? 2 weeks? more? How long should I allow it to creep back up before I realize this was a mistake and reduce cals again?

Not new, but looking for certain people
I have been on MFP for a long time, and I posted a topic a few weeks ago looking for new friends as I re-committed myself to this journey. Now, I sort of regret it as I've had to purge my friends list. What I am looking for is people that are serious about working out, encouragement, and reaching their goals. What I am NOT…

just need to complain..
Feeling rather lonely tonight and that is sooo not like me. Ugh. My divorce was just finalized a month ago but the marriage was over for a good 2 years. The only thing the paperwork did for me was that it seemed he finally stopped trying to get me back. I'm not used to feeling lonely. It's not something that's ever been in…

wheat noodles vs egg noodles
I am hearing conflicting things about wheat and how you should cut down on pasta.. which I have, but I don't think I could ever cut it out completely. Are egg noodles better?

32 (almost 33) year old divorced female, mother of 3. College student, majoring in finance. five foot six, ultimate goal is to lose 46 pounds, already lost 21. Have been sort of stalling for a few months. I am a yellow belt in taekwondo, in my 2nd week of Insanity. I don't do Insanity on taekwondo days though... so it's…

bodymedia question
I have a question about the bodymedia arm straps.. I see that you have to subscribe to their website.. can you still use the armband without paying for the website to get it to sync to MFP or what? and which of the two different armbands would you suggest?

where do you hide your scale?
I have an issue with weighing every day.. it's an addiction, really. I want to get down to once a month. If you're one of the people I've seen on the boards that talk about hiding your scale from yourself, LOL.. where do you put it? Bathroom closet is too easy for me to get to. I was thinking... garage?

looking for workout that is easy on the knees
Any ideas? I've done the 30ds a few times but the lunges and side lunges kill me every time. I want something that is challenging yet won't kill my ability to walk the following day. I have an old injury that never fully healed.

red face
Is there a vitamin or food or something I can use to reduce the serious "red face" I get when in class and working out? My face gets so red (and it's hot as hell in the room too) that I look like I have a serious sun burn. about 15 minutes into class and I'm lit up like a Christmas tree. It's embarrassing.

woo. first belt test is in a week
We were going over forms in class last night and the instructor that was helping me, while I was counting in my head (and he knew it) was circling me going "12, 24, 8, 13..........." LOL. I am testing for yellow tip and my kids are testing for yellow belt. I'm so glad I decided to join. Instead of beating the crap out of…

I am such a mess...... and so angry
My ex and I have been split for 2 years. I have full custody of all 3 kids and his disability pays his child support. If it didn't I probably wouldn't get a dime. I need to give some back story here: I live with my parents with my kids, he never takes the kids unless it's take them to lunch or something, which is rare. I…

You know those anti smoking commercials..
Where the little miniature band plays a song for you when you turn down a smoke? I want that to happen every time I make a good food choice or workout when I don't want to. That would be so full of win.

My 9 year old won her sparring division
because she was the only one in her division! She didn't place in forms but she was the ONLY 8-9 year old girl that had the guts to show up for sparring, and even agreed to spar a girl a level higher than her just so she could say she did it and get her medal, and THAT, I told her, is something to be proud of. There were a…

Sports bra suggestions.??
I need a new one, apparently. I have several of some off brand I bought at walmart and I love them. They are comfortable and keep the girls in place for the most part but still allow for some movement. However, I've noticed the kid with the mullet and every other male in my taekwondo class stare directly at my chest when…

I was going to go to Peltier Park but that all depends on this ridiculous rain.

new to this group and I gotta get some things OUTTTT
Hi everyone. I am 32 and a single mother of 3. My future ex husband and I have been together a total of 12 years, about. We have been split up off and on for the past 3 years. If it didn't take so long to get divorced in this state (12 months), it would have been done a long time ago, but time is money, and money I do not…

Potassium
What food other than banana is a good source of potassium?

what are good, beginner exercises to build core strength?
One of the reasons I started loosing is because of my chronic low back pain. I thought if I lost some the pain might get better. 20 pounds later it really hasn't and it was suggested that I work on the muscles in that area, which I have not done in a LONG time. I can't do too much yet, so where should I start?
