Lost weight and inches, but clothes are tighter?
This doesn't make ANY sense to me. I've lost 3lbs and I've lost inches -- yet, my clothes (that fit a couple weeks ago before the losses) are tighter? What the heck is going on?!

Under Armour shoes?
When I first started running last year, I went to a professional running shop and was fitted with Nike Pegasus shoes. I love these shoes, but the new version of them aren't as supportive (or as cushy in the heel) as the old ones. Unfortunately, the old style are sold out everywhere. I was in a sporting goods store a couple…

Steroids...
Heh. Not the kind you associate with Arnold or other extreme body building. I was taken to the emergency room tonight with two massive asthma attacks within 30 mins of each other. Inhaler did not help as it has in the past. Two breathing treatments (one was a double dose treatment) and 60mg of steroids later - they told me…

Gym users -- what gym do you use?
I've been a member of my gym for the last 15 months. There are many things I like about my gym - but there are a few things that I wish were better. I'm considering giving another gym a shot, but I'm such a stick in the mud.. I hate change. What gym do you use? What do you like about it? Dislike about it? I use Snap…

Not hungry?
I've been at my goal weight for quite awhile now, so I'm in maintenance. I've been eating 2200-2500 net calories since going into maintenance. I eat my exercise calories because I know my body needs it. For the last week to 10 days, I'm just not hungry. I've been forcing myself to eat because I know you can't starve…

NSV!
We've been at Cedar Point the last two days. It was so hot, humid and sunny yesterday that I didn't want to wear the black shorts I had packed to wear. My boyfriend - who is 140lbs and wears a size 28/30 waist shorts - says "I have two pairs of khaki shorts.. want to wear one of those?" At first I thought "No way I can…

Spinning classes? What to expect?
So, I'm currently shopping around for a new gym. Don't get me wrong, I do love the one I'm going to -- but, they don't seem to offer any classes (spinning, kick boxing, etc). I am also trying to find a gym that has a pool since I have issues with the arthritis in my spine in the winter months and I've been told that…

Surpassed my goal weight...
And now it is time to move to the next phase of this journey - maintenance. My original goal was 150lbs. I reached that goal in September 2010. I maintained it from Sept 2010 to May 2011, but I just didn't feel like I was completely happy with it as a goal. In May, I upp'ed my calories and 5lbs literally fell off my body.…

How do I log this?
Okay -- I need some help you guys. I've recently switched up my workout routine. I'll try and make it as simple as possible when I explain it: Before I go to the gym, I look through my exercise diary to see what set of machines I should be doing that day (due to a shoulder issue, I have to use machines vs the weights). For…

Silly question...
I recently switched up my exercise routine and wonder if I am logging it correctly. Here's what I do: I pick 3 machines at the gym (due to a shoulder injury I can only use the machines). I track the weight I used the last time I did those machines -- I do 3 times at the gym on those machines at a weight before moving it…

My headphones fall out when I run...
And it drives me insane. Anyone know of any headphones that don't fall out? I'm not sure of the brand that I have, but I have tiny ears and I wonder if they're too big or what. All I know is just when I seem to really get into a groove - they pop out. Grr.

Do you count the water in your protein shakes ...
towards your daily water goal? I just had 10oz of water in my protein shake. Should I count it? Or no?

How to log this?
There are days when I wake in the middle of the night and I am starving to death. I usually have cottage cheese or a bowl of cereal - something quick. I love my sleep. lol. I always log it (later in the day -- not right then...), but I'm never sure if I should log it for the previous day or log it for the current day? I've…

Perfect weight?
I'm not sure I'm posting this in the right spot (and if not, I'm sorry...). I've heard a lot of people say that everyone's body has an ideal weight. This is the weight in which your body is comfortable, functions well, and is easy to maintain. Once you get to this weight, your body will fight to remain at this weight and…

Vitamins...
I know that I should be taking a multivitamin everyday, but every single ones I've tried make me break out horribly (and I mean HORRIBLY!). Within a few days of starting them, my face begins to breakout then within a week of starting them it's my face AND my chest -- then if I continue taking them longer, it'll be my face,…

Maintenance weight question...
I've recently moved into the maintenance side of this journey after a lot of soul searching and realizing I'm happy with this weight. MFP says I should be at 1980 calories a day to maintain. I was staying around 2000 during my weight loss phase and did well with it. I did the BMR/daily calorie intake formula and according…

Tae Bo Live Advanced calorie question...
Did the 60 min Tae Bo Live Advanced dvd today. I put in the time into MFP and it said something like 630 calories, so I decided to google it to see if anyone knew what you might burn. Found a website with Tae Bo "Moderate" listed (not sure it was moderate since it kicked the crap outta me, but I went with the lowest one)…
