What Were Your Biggest Excuses?
Hi everyone! I realized today that up until recently, I was the person that was so full of crappy excuses that prevented me from really working to lose weight. I literally had an excuse for every possible situation. Here were my top excuses: - I was PMSing and didn't want to work out - My hip was hurting (I have a…

Things That Make You @$#%^& Crazy about MFP
I think I speak for everyone when I say that sometimes we get on MFP and see the boards and just facepalm at what we often read.

Turbo Jam
I just did my first day of Turbo Jam with the Learn and Burn workout and I LOVED IT! I honestly didn't even realize how hard I was working until the end when I found out I was covered in sweat! It was so much fun, so engaging, and Chalene is the best cheerleader. Has anyone else used Turbo Jam specifically, not Turbo Fire…

Using my Food Scale
Hi everyone, I have a specific question for you all. When I am cooking chicken, should I be measuring 4 ounces in my food scale of RAW chicken, or measure it once it's cooked? Thank you!

Acne?
Hi everyone! I have only radically changed my diet in the past week or so - no junk food, healthy foods, more fruits and vegetables, etc. Did anyone else notice a change in their skin when they changed their diet?

Shakeology Workouts?
Hi all, Does anyone do the shakeology workouts that accompany the actual drink mix? How do you track them here on MFP? I do not yet have a heart rate monitor so I kind of have to guess how many calories I'm burning..

My small NSV for today :)
So I slept at my fiance's house last night (he lives with his parents still - we are young!) and I come downstairs this morning and see his parents. His mother in law looks at me with her face all scrunched up and goes... "Bail, you really do look like you are losing weight!" She was so excited for me. I've only lost 13…

Does anyone make their own chips?
Hi everyone! I, like most of us, am a huge sucker for potato chips. However, we all know that even in small amounts, they're pretty terrible for us. I have heard of people making chips at home with their own ingredients and was wondering if anyone here has done that, and what they use. For example, do you use white…

Clean Eating
Hi everyone! I'd love for someone to explain to me what clean eating is. I keep seeing this term come up on these boards and don't have a clue what it means. Does it help with the weight loss? Hopefully I don't sound too silly here! Thanks!

Ways to Punch Up Plain Water
Hi everyone! I have a terrible time getting my eight glasses of water in per day. I really just hate plain water. I have been using crystal light peach tea packets and I drink it down within 10 minutes because it's so good, but that stuff is also pure chemicals and sugar. I'd like to find a more natural way to punch up…

Those Pesky Insecurities...
Hi everyone, I realized after a long talk with my fiance last night how truly, unbelievably insecure I am, and this is in everything. In my weight and appearance, in my relationship, just in life in general. I am jealous and insecure. I need tips on how to get past this. I have lost 11 pounds so far, and I have become…

Good ways to get in my workout?
Hi everyone, This afternoon I did day 1 of Couch to 5k only to come home with a knee swollen to the size of a baseball. Not sure what happened, but I made sure to warm up for at least 5 minutes before starting my intervals and that was a miserable failure. I get the idea that running isn't necessarily going to be my thing.…

Avoiding Break-Room Blunders..?
Hi everyone! So I'm here in the office on my lunch break, tracking my lunch, and I walk into the breakroom and see a whole spread of St. Patricks Day goodies. Sugar cookies with green sprinkles, rice krispie treats with green frosting, brownies, etc. I am doing fabulously at avoiding these treats so far, but my question…
