Weight lifting - Any good ideas?
I've come to the dark side and I'd like to do more weight lifting instead of cardio. I will still walk my dog and eventually finish the 30 day shred, but I'm tired of jumping and moving around. I'd rather focus on form and pushing my muscles (or lack thereof). So I've come to the place hopefully where I can get a few…

Another picky eater - no lectures please (long post)
Having some serious food issues that I think are very much affecting my lack of weight loss. I started MFP 5/15 and to date have lost about 4 pounds. While this is nice and all, I'd like to lose about 2 lbs a week. I did realize that I hadn't set my macros correctly so I was eating way too many carbs, not enough protein,…

Exercise to target saddlebags?
Hello all, I have come to terms with the fact that my worst area is the saddlebag region on my thighs. You might be like my husband and have no idea where your "saddlebag" is. It's the area where some women carry their fat that ends up looking like the saddle bags on a motorcycle. Anyways, this seems to be one of the…

My NSVs for the week - What are yours?

Hurray! 2) I decided to do dive bomber push-ups last night instead of "girl" push-ups that I've been doing since those hurt my knees. And I LOVED them. My…

I am ready to be diagnosed...
So many questions. This entire rant may seem ignorant although I am an avid reader of the forums and suggestions. I am just stuck. I have changed my diary to public and am ready to be picked apart. I have been using MFP since May 15th so almost a month. Previous to such, I probably ate around 3000+ calories a day. My goal…

Mexican Food lunch at work - What to order?
Every month at work someone gets to choose where we get take out for our team meeting. The guy who chose picked a Mexican food place. I LOVE Mexican food. I haven't had Mexican food since starting MFP a month ago. I would generally order a huge portion of rice, beans combo with a burrito of some sort. That would probably…

To Count or Not to Count - That is the Question
I've noticed with MFP that a lot of my cardio I log is from housecleaning. I am starting to wonder if 1) I should actually count it and 2) how many calories it actually burns. Here's a bit of information: I work at a desk 8-5 so I do have my activity level as sedentary. However, I do clean my house practically daily for at…

Food Diaries
Do you ever look through people's food diaries of all the individual ingredients and wonder what in the world they had for dinner? I feel like this could be a game...
