any good alternatives for half and half in coffee?
I love my coffee... problem is I love the cream in it :-). I drink way too much of it in a day and it's really upping my calories... All I drink is coffee and water, no sodas or anything. I've tried fat free half and half (but it has some bad ingredients, and doesn't taste the same...), I've tried milk, I've tried black,…

exercise routine change - what to do?
I started my weight loss journey in January by joining a gym and doing classes 5-6 times weekly (mostly "hardbodies" and zumba). A couple of months ago I switched to NROLFW three times a week (tomorrow is my last day of stage 2) and started eating more (no extra cardio) I will be moving in a few weeks, to live with my mom…

weights in "women's area" and reg. area not the same?
I just started doing NROL4W (in my second week) and am not that comfortable in the general lifting area, so I do what I can in the women only area of my gym. They have a pulley-machine-thingy for the wide-grip lateral pull-downs (I think that's what they are called). There's no bench, so I sat on a Swiss ball and did the…

just started nrolfw and I feel like I'm eating too much
I just started on Friday and I've been reading lots about TDEE and BMR and all that lately. I increased my calories on MFP, but I still feel like unless I'm really hungry and nibbling on lettuce all day long, I'm not trying hard enough. I never starved myself or tried to live on 1200 calories for long periods of time, but…

need relationship advice
Ok, I know this is not the right place to go, but I really have nowhere else to go. I think I have one friend IRL and she has a very busy three year old attached to her, so not much time to actually talk. I also realize a therapist would be much more helpful, and I've wanted to start therapy many times, but it just never…

lifting question
I started trying to lift this week and want to lift Mon, Wed, Fri. So far I have done the machines in the ladies' section. I walked over to the free weights in the general area and didn't even know where to start... I bought new rules of lifting for women, but have not finished it yet. Anyway, I have read that it's a good…

fear of insanity
I want to do a few insanity videos again to mix in with attempting to lift weights, but it frightens me. A couple of years ago I started insanity and was doing ok with it. I wasn't really loosing weight or inches, but I was exercising the best I could with it and improving on the fit tests. After a few weeks, I woke up and…

need a little exercise (lifting) advice
I was doing a "hard-bodies" class 3x week and zumba 1-2 times. I now can only go to two of the hard bodies classes due to time restraints. Even though they do get me sore, I know they are generally considered more cardio than lifting because of the amount of weights and repetitions done. I like the class and was planning…

how do you track all home-cooked meals?
Hello all. I started trying to track food a couple of months ago, but I was spending too much time trying to figure out what all I ate. The problem isn't my breakfast of fruit and oats or something; the issue starts when I cook. Sometimes I follow recipes, sometimes I don't. Even if I follow a recipe, I often don't measure…
