How long does it take to lose muscle you've gained?
How long can you go without doing your normal work out routine, i.e. strength training, before you start to lose what you've worked so hard to obtain? I'm having a pacemaker implanted on 10/20/11 and won't be allowed to lift anything over 10 lbs for 2 weeks and anything over 20 lbs for 2 weeks after that. I also won't be…

Any one- boobed nursers here?
I know I know it sounds funny but how else do you put it? I am very very strongly considering letting my left boob dry up. My son is 5 months old (as of today). Since the beginning I have had a huge problem with the left boob clogging and have had mastitis in it once. It has never produced as much as the right one. For…

Is the glucose test in the food database? The only one I found was for the 3 hour one but not the 1 hour and it was 450 calories!!! There is no label on my bottle, only instructions. TIA!

Anyone else have to cut back after maintaining for awhile?
I've been maintaining for about 9 months. The first part of maintenance I was netting 1440 and then the last 2 months I was netting 1700 after wearing a bodymedia fit and getting that amount. I have a maintenance range of 110-115, usually would stay around 112-113 but have been closer to 115 for a few weeks now and have…

Log your food for the rest of your life?
Just wanting some other maintainers opinions on what you plan to do. Are you going to continue logging your food forever? Or have you already stopped logging now that you are maintaining? I keep going back & forth about what I want to do. I've been maintaining for about 8 months, allowing myself a 5 lb range. Lately I've…

Runkeeper App-where can you wear phone for it to work?
I downloaded the Runkeeper app a few weeks ago but have not used it because I don't have a case or armband strap to wear it. I'll get one eventually. For the meantime, would it work ok if you put it in your pocket? Any one who has this app have any recommendations?

Thank you Body Media Fit!
I just finished a month of wearing my body media fit. I have been maintaining for about 7 months now, but I was curious to see if I could eat more. So let me tell you, wow I can eat tons more. On MFP I had my lifestyle set to sedentary because I have a sedentary job. I sit behind a desk all day. My maintainence calories…

Underwear falling down while running!
This is too funny not to share. I've recently started back running/jogging. There are certain kinds of underwear (panties) that fall down as soon as I start running. And when they fall down its not all the way to my ankles, its just below my buttcheeks lol. Anyone else ever experience this? I don't think they are too big…

PACEMAKERS to fix bradycardia?
I'm sure there are lots of people on here who have a pacemaker and I don't know where else to find people to ask. My question is did anybody get a pacemaker specifically to fix severe bradycardia? My heart rate has been getting slower and slower as each year goes by, and I'm only 32. Supposedly I have something called Sick…

My maintenance calories can't be true! =(
I'm 5 ft tall. My original goal weight was 120, just because that's what I averaged most of my adult life, just never thought I could do any better. Once I reached that then my goal changed to 115. I thought wow if I can get back to 120 after gaining a ton of weight during my pregnancy (not just "baby" weight but actual…

Does Jillian Michael's "off counting" bother you?
I guess I'm letting my OCD get the best of me, but does it bother anyone else how on her 30 Day Shred AND Ripped in 30 she is not equal on the number of reps? Or does anyone even notice? I only notice because I will count how many reps of an exercise I am doing. For example, on the first set of an exercise she will have…

For those who eat PB2-yummy snack
After I ordered my PB2 I went on their website at bellplantation.com and was looking for ideas of how to use the stuff. I found one suggestion (actually under kid friendly section) of cutting up a banana then putting it inside a ziplock bag with PB2 in it and shaking it up to coat it. Well I just tried it, except I used…

For those who eat frozen dinners, I found a winner!
O-M-G. Lean cuisines Thai Style Chicken Spring rolls are AMAZING!!!! I had them for the first time today for lunch. They seriously taste like something at a restaurant that is not low cal or low fat. My lunch today, a frozen meal, was better than the one that was catered at a conference yesterday. A lot of Lean Cuisines,…

Oatmeal and Peanut Butter-YUCK!
I saw some people on here mention adding peanut butter to their oatmeal. I had never heard of doing that. I eat oatmeal almost every day for breakfast anyway and I LOVE peanut butter. Maybe it's just the kind I use but I tried it this morning and almost got sick it was so gross. I am currently eating the Quaker multi-grain…

30 DS-after you complete it then what?
I know there are a million posts about the 30 DS, but I don't feel like digging through them. After you do the whole program can you just keep doing level 3 (for maintenance)? I've only done 6 days of level 1 so far. I'm just wondering if once you complete all 3 levels if continuing with level 3 is enough or do you have to…
