100 Squats, push ups, and sit ups a day
I decided to start the 100 squats a day for 30 days challenge. Because I’m a go getter, I’m adding in push ups and sit ups as well. Anyone want to join? I’m starting today. I’m going to do before and after measurements as well. Also, if you need to do push ups on your knees or assisted on an exercise ball, that is ok. As…

Athletic Swimsuit Help Needed
Does anyone know where I can buy an athletic swimsuit for swimming laps in the pool for a tall, small busted woman? My measurements are as follows... Torso 70 inches, bust 37 inches, and hips 45 inches. I can find swimsuits for my torso length, but then the bust is about 43-46 inches and that would be way too much extra…

Looking for new recipes
I am looking for some new recipes. I have been craving salads a lot lately, so anything with spinach would be great. I also love avocado, hummus, greek yogurt, almost all fruit, and most veggies (excluding mushrooms and brussle sprouts). If anyone has any recipes they would like to share, I would love to try making them.…

Pumpkin Soymilk
I don't know if anyone has tried the pumpkin soymilk by Silk but it is delicious. It's probably not as good as the recipes on here for pumpkin milkshakes, but if you need a quick go to it is perfect. I just have an 8oz glass when I am craving something sweet and it helps a lot. I could drink it everyday, but it is only…

Emotional eater
Ok, so I have to admit that I am and always have been an emotional eater. And with my wedding about four months away, I am so stressed and I have been eating more treats (aka bad food) that I should. It is very hard for me not to do this so I am asking for your help my MFP people before I am even more stressed. Please tell…

It's my life not yours
Ok, so first my back story and then my rant.... So, I recently joined Curves (about 3 weeks ago) and I love it. I know I'm not fat, I just have some extra from letting myself get out of shape and not doing anything about it. I want to lose the extra I have gained and then get toned and stay healthy. I didn't want a gym…

Running Shoes
I recently added a new goal to my list of goals and it is to become a runner by this fall. I am looking for a good pair of running shoes. I tried on the Vibram 5 fingers this weekend and those do not work for me. I have heard that Vibram, Merrell, and Nike make shoes that are more of a barefoot feeling but would like…

NSV- Self perception
I have been doing this for a little over a month now and even though my body weight hasn't changed all that much, the way I see myself has. I just used the restroom at work and we have a huge mirror in the ladies room so we can make sure we look pretty all day long. Normally I wouldn't want to look at myself and if I did I…

Alcohol challenge
I am trying to stop drinking alcohol until I get to my goal weight and then incorporate it into my diet without packing on the pounds. The last time I had alcohol was this Sunday (3/6) and I had two ginger ales with scotch and a cherry. That is my main weakness. My fiance likes to enjoy a few drinks on the weekend, when we…

PB2
I have seen so many people talk about PB2 so I looked it up. (It is powdered peanut butter, for all the poeple wondering what it is). I am not sure if it would really taste like peanut butter. If you have tried it, let me know what you think of it. I might get the sample pack, but I don't want to pay the money if it's…

Curves for Women
I have been debating on joining Curves, does anyone have any input about their programs? I have heard good and bad things from people, but not anyone who is actively trying to lose weight and be fit. Any opinions and information you have would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

calorie/protein question
When I set up MFP goals, I said I wanted to lose 1.5 lbs/week. That put me at 1200 calories/day, which is fine for me. The thing that I am concerned about is my protein. I almost always go over it. So, I adjusted my calories to 1300/day so I would be able to meet my protein goal. I am fine with projected weight loss, it…

Help! I need more calories
I went under my calories yesterday (I get 1200/day) and it looks like I might again today. I know I need to have at least 1200 but I can't seem to figure out what to have for dinner without going way over my carbs while meeting my calories. I need 375 more calories with only 47 carbs. Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.
