Staggering P90X workouts
I'm thinking of doing the P90X workouts - probably Lean - every other day, and doing a Jillian Michaels workout (or similar) in between. I really enjoy the JM workouts, and have been satisfied with the results, so I don't want to stop doing them, but I think working in some of the P90X might be a nice addition. Did anyone…

NSV
The day before Mother's Day this year, I decided to treat myself to a new outfit. I thought that maybe I would feel more comfortable with clothes that fit me right - I was heavier than I had been the last time I got clothes, so my jeans were definitely uncomfortable. A lot of the time, I was wearing maternity clothes,…

Glycemic load
I was hoping someone could point me to a good source for getting started eating with the GL in mind - books, websites, whatever. I have an idea of the basics, and would like to figure out in practical terms how it might play out in real life. The website I found that seemed to have reliable info was so badly organized that…

BodyRock?
I just found the BodyRock website, thanks to a post here, and I'm really intrigued... I don't have some of the equipment they use (like a Dip Station) -- can I go ahead and start doing the workouts anyway, or will that really throw me off? Thanks!

Late night food
If you happen to eat something at say, 2 AM, do you log it for the night before or the morning after? Does it matter if you were still up, or if you had slept at that point? Just curious!

Loose skin
If you lost a considerable amount of weight, or had belly flab due to pregnancy, and were able to get back in shape with no (or minimal) loose skin, what do you attribute that to? And I get that some people have bought into the "loose skin = just fat" idea, but unless you personally tightened up your excessive, loose belly…

P90X without any equipment?
I was thinking about starting P90X in a couple weeks -- I don't have a chin up bar or resistance bands; can I go ahead and start or do I need to get something first? What kind of equipment is essential to it? Thanks!

Dropping dress/jeans sizes?
I'm just wondering what a reasonable expectation is, as far as losing inches and dropping down in dress sizes? I know that there are a million variables (muscle tone, for one) but in general, how many pounds lost means going down a size?

Getting enough calories
It's just before dinner time here, and I have 900 calories left to eat today. There is no way I can eat that many calories in the next six hours. The closest I could get is if I started downing cheeses by the handful, which doesn't sound like the most sensible plan. Does anyone have any idea how to get enough net calories,…

Better options at Dunkin?
3 mornings a week, I eat breakfast at Dunkin Donuts. I always get an egg and cheese biscuit (sometimes on flatbread instead) and a glazed donut. I was wondering what might be a better option there? (I mean, besides skipping the donut. That's kind of obvious. LOL) Making my own breakfast those mornings has not worked out so…

Power Yoga
I've started doing power yoga again (love it!! I did not realize how much I missed it!) and I was trying to log it -- there doesn't seem to be an option for it, even though it's very different burnwise than some other types of yoga (which I also enjoy at times.) If you do power or astanga yoga, do you just log it as hatha…

Getting enough calories, without going over in macros?
For some reason, I'm struggling with this one. I am sure it's relatively simple, but I'm having trouble getting all the calories I'm supposed to, without going over in my macros... often I'm over in all three, but just barely getting the calories in or even under. I've tried inputting a cleaner diet to see what that…

NSVs!
I'm only a few days into my commitment to my health and fitness (and still figuring things out) so my victories are small, but they're SO rewarding! 1. I lost almost an inch off my waist 2. My husband said my face is starting to look thinner already and 3. I was able to touch my toes yesterday, which is something I haven't…

Should probably intro myself...
I'm a 34 year old mama of five great kids, ages 1 to 8. I've been a member of MFP for a few months, but after about a week I lost track of it. I came back a little over a week ago with newfound enthusiasm and motivation, and I'm in it to win it now. Glad to be here!
