Can you loose weight while on Prednisone?
I've been a part of MFP for a few years and have been logging for about 15 days, drink about 6 oz of water daily, eating 80% clean, and exercising 5-6 days a week and I think I figured out why I haven't been losing weight or inches...damn prednisone. So I guess I can choose breathing or get fat, despite all my best…

Chick On The Run
Hey guys, I've been in and out of MFP for a little while now but I'm back! I'm, in training for an OCR, the 2013 Spartan Sprint this May. I sure do appreciate all the positive reinforcement here on MFP. Thanks guys, and gals! Oh and if you get a chance please check out the blog I just started. Thanks again!…

Warrior Dash / Tough Mudder Training
A couple of friends and I are wanting to do a Tough Mudder next year. I thought it would be fun to do a Warrior Dash first. Has anyone done either of these races? If so what did you do to prepare for them? I found the Tough Mudder training schedule online but want to make sure I'm fully prepared since I'm not a runner.…

Spartan Sprint
So I'm seriously NEEDING a Spartan Chicked Badge for every bag and backpack I own...and I'm seriously considering a tatoo. Perhaps on my back, so it shows when I'm racing. :-) My only trepidation is...as an elementary school teacher where can I get it to show it off during races and such but in a place I can keep most of…

Water, water everywhere
I'm just curious what do you do to meet your daily water needs? In the past I've: - had 1-2 cups in the morning and and sipped on a 54 oz mug all day, then 1-2 cups at dinner - taken 3-24oz water bottles and had one in the morning one at lunch and one in the afternoon - the same as above but added a packet of pink lemonade…

Suggestions?
I've had three awesome food days but I'm still kinda hungry. Yes, I know I went over today but I lifted heavy weights for the better part of an hour this morning. I'm pretty close to my goal weight and am training for "The Spartan Sprint" in a couple of months. Anyhow, I'm thinking something with lean protein and complex…

At/close to goal weight help
I've been on a plateau forever! No weight loss. No inches list. Granted from about Thanksgiving till the end of December I didn't track calories very well and I know I overrate. I've got to be close to my goal weight but somethings got to give! I love that I'm building muscle but if my fat would leave and skin tone up I'd…

PB2
Today I was finally able to get PB2 (the powered peanut butter) and heavens-to-betsy-an! Crazy delicious doesn't even begin to describe the party that was happening in my mouth at lunch today! I spread it on a whole grain frozen waffle. What's your favorite way to enjoy it?

I am so excited for tomorrow. My days logging in, exercising, and eating healthy will be...365! In one year I've learned A LOT and I can't tell you how ecstatic with what I've accomplished...how proud I am sticking to it especially when it was tough...and can't wait to see what this next year brings!

It's not rocket surgery people!
(((climbs up on soapbox))) **disclaimer** If you happen to get offended by the following information I'd thank you to keep negative comments to yourself. This is what I believe and no amount negative snarky remarks will change my mind. In the past 9 and half months I've exercised 6-7 days a week. I've been keeping my food…

You've got to want it.
I was 177 pounds and a size 14 and did something that changed my life. I made a decision to get up off my hiney, eat right, exercise, and get healthy no matter what. I decided that nothing would stand in the way of my goal of looking stinkin' amazing. - I've exercised at 4 in the morning. - I brought it doing P90X in the…

Have you done a mud run obstacle course?
Specifically "Run for Your Life", Warrior Dash, or Tough Mudder. I originally wanted to do Tough Mudder but seeing as how I'm not a runner I thought it would be best to ease into that one!:smile: I'm thinking that I'll do Warrior Dash next April and Tough Mudder later on next year.That is until I found out about Run for…

Anyone out there at their goal weight or are working on those last ten pounds? Man oh man they are killer, especially since I'm trying to build muscle too. Any tips or suggestions?

Wa sa matter wit chu?!
Well this is a first. I didn't pay close enough attention to what I was eating today and got my food diary caught up a few minutes ago. Over calories by more than 100 and I haven't eaten dinner yet! I haven't lost pounds in several weeks and I'm this careless?! Doh {{{face plant}}}!

Wow, I did that?!
I can't believe what I've accomplished since January (see awesome transformation at left)!

P90X Turbo Fire Hybrid
Well, tomorrow is the day, I'm going to do P90X Turbo Fire Hybrid. So far this year I completed: a round of P90X, Turbo FIre prep schedule, and a round of Turbo Fire (sans the last two months). I don't have the money to get the advanced Turbo Fire DVD's right now. That really stinks because I wanted to pre-order P90X2, and…

Turbo Fire Advanced
Ah phooey! I'm almost at the point where I'm scheduled to do the Advanced Turbo Fire workouts, but I can't afford them. Rats! I really wanted to be able to finish the whole program. I was going to to a Turbo FIre P90X Hybrid when I finished but even THAT schedule incorporates some of the advanced workouts. What should I do?

MAJOR NSV
I need to preface this with the following. I am a 3rd grade teacher. During the school year I have to get up at 4 or 4:30 to get in my workout and still have time to get the kids and myself ready. This whole summer I've been getting up at 7ish, or whenever I woke up and did my workout then. Still first thing in the morning…

July weight loss challenge
What's your weight loss goal for this month and why? Also, what are you going to do to reach your goal? My goal is to loose 4 pounds this month. My 32nd birthday is on August 2nd and I want to be able to say I lost 20 pounds. It's a bit easier said than done because I've been hovering around 16-18 pounds lost for a couple…

Do you do Beachbody or burn big numbers? Help?!
I'm 5'6" and I started out the year at 177. I finished a round of P90X and am now doing Turbo Fire, I'm on week 16. I did the prep schedule and am now on the regular schedule. I've been hovering around 159 and 161 for almost a month. I exercise 6 days a week and eat relatively healthy. Admittedly I could cut down on sodium…
