Post your current workout playlist!
I love seeing what other people have to keep them going. My playlist changes all the time, but here is what I currently have on there. Maybe some of you will want to download some new tunes -- I'm sure you'll have suggestions that I will like, too! Listed in alphabetical order by artist: Around the Bend | The Asteroids…

How do you love your brussel sprouts?
A lot of people I know gush about how great baked brussel sprouts are. I've never even TRIED a brussel sprout, but I felt adventurous tonight in the produce section and picked up a few. If your a brussel sprouts fan, how do you like them? Share your flavor combos with me, please! :)

New workout routine?
So I found this on Pinterest the other day: http://www.prevention.com/print/26102 I started it today. It seems almost too easy to bring the results it's promising. But, hey, it's only 2 weeks, and I need some weight training anyway, so what have I got to lose? Anyone heard of it or try it before?

Not feeling it lately. :(
Last week was my final week of graduate work, so I was obviously very busy. I didn't go to the gym, but I did take a run with a friend on Thursday. I told myself that once the hell week of final papers and my thesis defense was over, I'd hit the gym again full force. But then I hit the plateau. I've been stuck at 166 for…

Advice for a 1st time 5K-er?
Hey all! I'm running my first 5K this Sunday (eek!). I feel pretty ready; I'm not afraid of the work. I used to be very active in high school and played sports year-round. However, I've never run a race before and was wondering if anyone had tips for the night before and morning of... even afterward too! What foods do you…

Small NSV: The Holy Grail Pants
I have a pair of capri pants that I bought in high school; they're a size 8 but they have a little stretch to them. I'm currently 24 and haven't worn them in a few years. The last time I tried them on a couple of months ago, I couldn't even button them. I tried them on this past week, just to see, and lo and behold... THEY…

Crunch Gym Burlesque Beat?
So I've been hitting up the OnDemand on my tv after I saw that the first level of the 30 Day Shred was on there -- I use the videos as a supplement to my gym work out or as a quick workout at home when I don't have time to go to the gym. I did the Crunch Gym's Burlesque Beat work out today, but have NO idea how many…

A question for all the MFP ladies.
I heard that when you lose weight, one of the first places you lose it is in your breasts. Have you found this true in your experience? I expect some loss there considering since a lot of the breast is made up of fatty tissue, but I'm nervous about losing too much. Any tips for making sure the weight loss distributes more…

My first 5K
I work at a sportswear store and most of the people I work with are pretty active, outdoorsy types. When I started working there I was only the latter, but now I'm starting to be more active too! I work with an Olympian champion speed skater. She, along with one of our managers, is doing a 5K on May 1 -- and they've talked…

Thank you MFP!
Lately I've been feeling very unmotivated. I've still been trying to make smart food choices, but have been slipping up more and more because I just feel like takes so much energy to plan out meals, etc. Take today, for instance. I got out of work at three, changed into comfy clothes, and plopped on the couch, knowing I…

Weigh-in?
I'm sure this has been posted before, but I thought I'd ask anyway: how often/when do you do your weigh-ins? Once a week? Once every two weeks? Is there a specific day (for example, Mondays)? What time during the day do you weigh? I've heard weighing yourself in the morning before breakfast is the best time because there…

Newbie here!
Hi all! My friend pointed me toward this site and I have to say it's awesome so far! I just joined tonight and plan to start my weight loss journey when I wake up tomorrow morning. I've struggled with weight for the past six or seven years now and I'd really like to get on the right track and beat that struggle. I'm…
