Would Love Some Advice
Hi Sidesteel and Sarauk2sf I would love a bit of advice. Or a lot of advice. There is so much stuff in the forums and I don't feel like I can ask a question without being called an idiot, or getting insane advice. My question is pretty close to a lady who just posted, we have almost the same stats, but I didn't want to…

Really? REALLY?!
I am floored. So I was walking down the hallway back to my desk at work. A (big) dude/coworker who is always semi harassing me saw me passing by and decided he would open his mouth about my weight loss. I thought to myself "here we go". Him: You're about to blow away girl Me: No, I'm ok. Him: You sure you alright? You look…

Don't you hate it when...
Restaurants claim to be healthy but don't post their nutritional info anywhere, and don't have it available? Drives me up a fracking wall. Most of these places are local. There's a couple of specific places here that I really love, but I have to refrain from eating there unless it's every once in a blue moon, because I…

How much are you all eating?
How much are you guys eating with insanity? I'm 5'4 and 134lbs. I have no idea how many calories i'm supposed to be taking in. I don't want to crash and burn but I think i'll have a hard time eating like 1800+ calories. I'm burning about 400 calories with each workout. And tips?

How Much Should I Eat?
Hey, everyone, I have a question for you smart folks :) I am doing insanity 6x a week (ok, so I just started Monday lol). How much should I be eating? I calculated my tdee, but I never know whether or not I am eating the right amount of calories based off what I am actually burning. I burn about 400 calories each time I do…

How Many of You Have Been Told You Were Obsessive?
:explode: So I'm soooooo crabby right now. Talking on the phone with my sister this morning and I was griping about how hard I had been working all week and that I had actually put on two pounds. At which point she responds "You are starting to get obsessed, and honestly, it's a little scary". OK so here's what I have a…

The Point of Protein Shakes
I see a lot of stuff about protein shakes on here, but never really understand what people use them for (besides for the obvious). Are they meal replacements? Do people just use them to build muscle? Are they actually beneficial? Or just a waste of calories and money? What's your take?

How to get accurate calorie count
Posting again because I got no help last time. Someone help me!! I'm trying to get a more accurate count of calories burned, but I can't figure out what numbers to go with. I got a HRM thinking that would help me, but it's just confusing me more. Treadmill: 150 calories burned MFP: 140 calories burned HRM: 200 calories…

Question about polar HRM
I just received my hrm yesterday, it's a polar ft4. I put in all my info; my weight, age, etc, and used it, along with the chest strap at the gym. It was waaaay off as far as the machines were concerned. It reported that I burned about 60 calories more than what the treadmill and the elliptical said. Don't the machines…

Tonsils being taken out- Any advice?
Ugh...so I've been told that my tonsils need to be removed. I am scared to death as I have heard so many horror stories from adults that have had to have this done. Anyone ever had to have them out as an adult? How bad was it? I'm also told that I won't be able to do anything "strenous" for at least 2 weeks. I probably…

Help for night time hunger?
So I usually eat dinner at 6:30-7:00pm. By 10:00 I am starving!! I feel like I am eating a good amount at around 400-500 calories for dinner (usually), but around bedtime, I am starving. Do you all have anything that helps curb this?

Anyone have Exercise Induced Anaphylaxis?
Just wondering if I am alone here. This is pretty much the worst thing EVER for people who love to work out. Especially trying to explain to people why working out can be dangerous. I am looking to make some new friends who also suffer with this. http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/886641-overview I've acually blacked…
