Ladies - How many calories do you eat??
Curious how many calories you ladies eat per day? Also, do you eat back your exercise calories? I am 5'8 and eat 1800.... I am breastfeeding which uses about 500 calories a day so I try to get between 1500 - 2000. I'm losing weight slowly so I feel like this an ok number for me.

Ab injury?
So after doing Pilates the other day with ALOT of ab and core work my left lower abdominal was really sore, but not just "work out sore". It is still bothering me a lot and really hurts if I do any ab exercises. Not sure what I should be doing.... I guess resting but I hate to not work out!

30 Day Shred Results *pics*
I completed the 30 Day Shred for the first time. I did it, on average, about 5 times a week. I also ran 3-4 km every second night. I lost 5 pounds (which is about the same I usually lose per month since joining MFP) I didn't really measure myself before i began but I'd say I lost about 1.5 - 2 " from both my waist and…

Alcohol and weight gain
I find when I have a couple glasses of wine the scale is up in the morning. I know I have not put on 2 pounds of fat over night but i am assuming the alcohol makes me hold on to water or something? I find the same thing if I eat a lot of starch and salt as well. I am not going over on my calories, I am still exercising and…

The Last 10 pounds
I have lost 35 pounds since joining MFP in September. The weight loss has been consistent at about 1 pound a week by simply logging, staying under my goal and running every other night for 30 minutes or so. I am down to my last 10 pounds or so (I hope!) and suddenly the scale is barely moving!! It is is so discouraging.…

Eating after running / working out
I have recently started running and always run at night. Is it important to eat after a run - I usually run 3-5K? I never do since I am not hungry, have already had dinner and will soon go to bed. The other day I went for a run with a more experienced runner / exerciser and she brought a snack and insisted we eat (sugary…

Meant to be :)
I really love to have a drink (or two) while cooking supper. I am a stay at home mom to 3 right now - 6 month old twins and a 3 year old. My days are long and very exhausting. Come 5:00 I am usually ready to throw in the towel as both babies are tired and freaking out and their brother is hungry and demanding and I deal…

Eating after working out?
I am wondering about eating after exercising. I always exercise at night after dinner when the kids are in bed, usually I go for a run. I try not to eat in the evenings even after I run. Is it true that we should go to bed a little hungry? My friend always eats after she works out and promotes the idea of an after-workout…

The babies had a disease in utero called Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome and we almost lost them both but thanks to amazing medical attention and in-utero sugery they are…
