What makes you happy?
Personally, I am happiest when I am with my husband. We don't even have to go anywhere or do anything. Just being with him makes me happy. Also, chocolate makes me happy. What about you?

Anyone out there works in child care?
Hey everyone, I will be starting a new job in September at a child care development center. I have never worked with children before, even though I have taken care of my nieces since they were born. I will be trained on the job, but curiosity is getting the best of me, and I really want to know what I should expect, what…

Day 3
Woo! Just finished day 3. Getting closer and closer each day! Can't wait to measure myself mid month to see if there are any changes. I am definitely feeling it though!!! BTW I thought I wouldn't do any another workouts during the RI30, but I gave in and jogged/walked 5 miles today as well. I guess that's good :D

Confession
So I have a confession to make. I have not done any RI30 in about 4 days, but I do have a good excuse. I had to visit the doctor and he told me I was pushing myself too hard and to slow down. My body is just not used to being pushed so much. So I think now that I have had a good break. I will do RI30 every other day,…

need some support
Hey guys, The next couple of weeks are going to be really hard for me. My husband will be away from me for 10 days straight for work. We may not even be able to talk on the phone or internet. Long story short, this will be the first time we're away from each other for so long. I know that there a spouses out there who have…

Running/Jogging Question
Hey Everyone, I just recently started running/jogging and I know that it's good cardio, but does it count for strength training as well? What are your views?

Ripped in 30
Hello Everyone, Today was my first day of starting Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30. I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, but MFP doesn't have this workout in the system. Does anyone know generally how many calories are burned during week 1-4? Or is there a way for me to put in the exercises manually just so I…

Cardio vs Strength Training
Hey Everyone! This might sound stupid, but in your own words tell me what the benefits are of Cardio workouts and Strengthening exercises are. What are the major differences? Which do you prefer or do you do both? For example I do Zumba an hour a day, and I'm kind of stuck at 144 pounds. I have a little bit to lose around…

Consuming vs Burning
Hello everyone, I have a serious question. I keep reading everywhere that in order to lose weight you have to burn more calories than what you consume. Normally I burn around 550-600 calories a day. And I know if I eat less than that it won't be healthy. So does this mean that I should double up on my calorie burn, and eat…

Break from Exercise?
Hey guys, So since I started MFP last month, I started seeing results and I am very happy with that. However, I've been exercising daily, doing an hour of ZUMBA every day. I know I should take a break sometime during the week, but now that I am seeing results, I'm afraid to take a break. What should I do? Perhaps just do…

Tiny Result=Happy
I just wanted to share with everyone that since I started MFP last month I lost one inch off my waist and a half of an inch from my hips. It's not a huge difference, or a big success story, but it's important to ME. :D I am so happy to be finally seeing some results. By the way, if you're looking for motivation or a new…

Someone Help!!!
I have the worst craving for chocolate!!! I feel like I could eat a ton of it right now, I am trying so hard to resist the urge, but I feel powerless. :( :( I don't know what to do. I've done so well today and it's after dinner and I have that sweet craving that only chocolate can fix. I don't have any nuts, or anything…

Avoiding Sugar
I need some help. I have no problems keeping my calorie intake down, but it seems like I max out on my sugars before I can get to 1000 calories for the whole day. What kinds of foods can I eat, that are low in sugar (or have no sugar at all) but still have calories in them?

Day 2 at MFP
Wow! Here I am only on the second day of being a member, and from day one, seeing that I came under my calorie goal, made me feel like I accomplished something. That is what I need in a diet and exercise plan, constant encouragement, and constant feeling of accomplishment. I always expect results immediately, and while I…
