Any suggestions on how to best log a Mexican combo plate that includes a variety of different stuffed enchiladas, along with sauce, side of beans/rice...? Tried to search options and feeling SO confused. Tips?

HIIT - Running in a Hallway, help?
Hi there! I've never done HIIT though I'm somewhat familiar with the concept (periods of hard work and recovery). I live in a large apartment building at college that is practically empty right now because it's still winter break and I recently did an inside workout running through the halls of all 7 floors while snowed…

Trying to Beat the Pessimism!
I've been in a funk the past two weeks or so. Been grabbing food a lot, and while I haven't been going over my calories too much, I've just been feeling generally bloated and crappy, and down on myself - you can't out exercise a bad diet, and that's really been ringing home with my laziness in that area lately. So even…

Lowering Body Fat Percentage?
Hi all! I recently just bought a caliper to measure body fat (as I'm 35 pounds into this journey and still frustrated with stomach fat), and discovered my body fat is at 32%. I'd love to get to the bottom of the recommended for women, 25%, which, according the calculator I plugged this goal into, puts me conveniently right…

5K Training Planning for Someone Not New To Running
Hi there, all! Does anyone have a training plan, or something they've done in the past when training for a 5K? I have been running since late April, and don't have a problem running 3 miles and my typical mile time is about 9:40 per mile when I run 2 or 3, more like 8:30 when I just sprint one mile itself. The race I'm…

People Who Did the Advocare 10 Day Cleanse
What did you think? How much weight did you lose? And did it stay off or creep back on a few days after the cleanse ended?

College Student Lifestyle Activity level?
Would you consider a college student's lifestyle "lightly active"? I have a ten minute walk to and from my dorm every day, plus walking in between classes every hour/few hours depending on the day. I mean, in between that I'm just sitting though. Would you put this activity level as sedentary or lightly active on MFP?

Anyone else get more relaxed w/food with the last 5 pounds?
I'm currently zigzagging calories because I've seen posts from many who have gotten good results for the last few that way. That being said, I'm down to 5(.6) pounds left to lose and I find that I'm not stressing myself as much about my eating. I'm still going to the gym very regularly, as that is a habit I have set, and I…

Last 5-10 Pounds & Belly Fat
I've been doing a lot of research about losing the last five-ten pounds. My original goal I set for myself was 160 (I'm 5'5, broad shoulders, stronger-set thighs from being a swimmer in high school, 20 years old for those who might want to know that), but I think I could probably stand to lose ten more pounds, or in…

Unlimited Greens
I'm just curious, I've heard Jillian Michaels suggest many of times to people on her podcasts to count all calories, except green, non-starchy vegetables are "free," because they basically even out to being no calories. I do find it annoying to log in my salad when two cups of greens is 20 calories, but on the contrary,…

Another "Should I eat 1200 Calories" Posts... but should I?
I know there's been things said that it's not right for everyone, and I also know trying to lose more than a pound a week can be difficult when you're in the last 10 pounds, which I am. I eat 1350 calories right now, which is supposed to have me losing 1.1 pounds a week (my tdee is 1920), plus eating back whatever I…

Recipes for a slimmer stomach
I've read that a lot of having your tummy as your trouble area has to do with what you put into it. I can notice that from day to day when I wake up depending on what I ate the night before. Does anybody have some good recipes that are tummy friendly?

Headspinning sensation after running??
Every so often AFTER running and some cool-down walking, I get this head spinning sensation where I just NEED to sit down. It happens mostly after I run outdoors, but I just got it today after running on the treadmill. I didn't do anything unusual, I ran an average three miles; I pushed myself a bit but that's not unusual.…
