Why are people so mean?!
I thought MFP was supposed to help motivate and push each other. I've seen so many nice comments back and forth between people and dishing out tons of encouragment. On the flip side, it is SO discouraging when people post things and are followed up with negative or harsh responses. This is not Twitter, or Facebook (where…

Water "enhancers"... thoughts?!
Hey guys! I don' know if this topic has been beaten to death or not yet, but I was wondering what the general public thought about water enhancers like Crystal Light/Mio etc... Do you think your water is the same when you use it? As in, if I drink a few bottles of water with sugar free Mio, is it the same as drinking my…

Jump Rope
Just wondering what your take on the value of jumping rope is. I walked into my school's gym yesterday and the kids were jumping rope, so I hopped in with them and thought, "Hmm, this could be a great workout!" Thoughts? What does it work in the body?! Happy Friday!

Weighing food
I don't want to sound like an idiot, but do you weigh your food before or after it's cooked (for those of you that do weigh your meals)? Do you log calories for something at 4 oz before it's cooked, or the slightly smaller number after it's cooked?

weights vs cardio
Hey guys! I am venturing into weights now and I was wondering how many days a week should I do strength training. I hit the gym for about an hour each morning before work. I have way more time at the gym (should I need it) on the weekends. I was doing 60 mins of cardio. I'm thinking about doing 20-30 mins of intense cardio…

Pre-morning workout meal question
Hey guys! I have the opportunity this week to work out before I have to go to work. I'm a teacher and also work an after school program, so it can be taxing to work a full day plus a few extra hours afterwards and still feel fueled and excited about the gym. I'm in a different school this week and my in time is a little…

Is this normal?
Hey guys! I've lost 16 pounds since the beginning of Jan and my last weigh in was a week ago, so it might be more than that by now. According to an online BMI calulator, it says that I have lost 2.3% BMI. I am kind of new at looking at the science of losing weight and keeping track of BMI info. Is it really THAT slow of a…

Protein shakes?
Hey guys! Just wondering what your thoughts are on protein shakes. I am trying to stick to a low carb/low sugar lifestyle. I've seen sugar free protein shakes. If I mixed this with unsweetened almond milk, would that keep someone "full" until lunch if I had it for breakfast? I'm a teacher and there is nothing worse than…

Fitbit question!
Hey guys!! I've been using a FitBit One for the last 2 weeks. I'm pretty sure that I love it! I'm just wondering, those of you that use it, do you think it's really accurate with the calories it says you're burning throughout the day? Of course, I do sync it with MFP and make sure I log in the exact times I'm working out,…

pulled muscle in neck: healing?
Hey guys! I am on a great path with my weight loss. I've lost a total of 15 pounds in 6 weeks. I don't want to give up the gym for so many days (yesterday, today and maybe tomorrow) bc I pulled muscles in my neck while sleeping.
