Thoughts on having one high calorie day...
I found this info on a forum (quoting a blog from Shay Sorrels ) and I really think this would prevent me from hitting another plateau and losing motivation… plus I had a metabolic screening two years in a row and found out I did some serious damage to my metabolism since last year. What are your thoughts on having one…

What song gives you that extra push to finish your workout?
For me it's T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever) by will.i.am ft. Jennifer Lopez & Mick Jagger. When I'm getting tired or need to get through a challenging exercise, I turn this song on and it gives me the extra push I need!! I could use more upbeat songs like this to keep me motivated! What song(s) gives you that extra push to…

NROL and net calories
How do you figure your calories..... Do you simply eat the recommended amount given by the equation in the book or do you factor in your exercise calories like MFP suggests? What kind of results are you getting?? Thanks!

What have you tried and what works for you??
I cannot believe how many different theories there are on losing weight….. many of which contradict each other. So my question for you is: What have you tried and what works for you?? I completely understand that what works for one person doesn’t work for everyone, but I am curious to see what others have tried. Here…

How do you count calories when juicing?
My power juicer just arrived in the mail (YAY!) and I would like to start incorporating fruit/veggie juice in my daily diet starting today. Question is, how do I count these calories? Obviously eating one whole apple will be more calories than simply drinking the juice from the apple. I found an article at Ehow.com…

Question about “good” fats
So I have been really trying to clean up my diet and eliminate as many processed foods as possible. It has been a slow, but sure change. My problem is that my fat intake (which is custom set to 20% of my daily calories) is always over, but the majority of that fat is coming from nuts and peanut butter. I know MUFAs are…

Suggestions, opinions and/or advice please
So after a really rough week I FINALLY got back with the program. I hit a plateau in June; fluctuating between 2lbs. I was working SO hard to break through it; I remained under my calorie goal (other than a couple of days), ate my exercise calories, and was working out seven days a week. Three of those days were dedicated…

Help, please...
Is there anything more frustrating than hearing you are working out too much and eating too little of calories (basically trying too hard)?! I l always eat back my exercise calories and I am mixing up my workouts (lifting weights 3 days a week and cardio 4 days a week). I have a heart rate monitor which tells me exactly…

Friends for Motivation
I had a lot of friends that joined MFP with me back in March, but very few of them still use the site, and the majority that still do, don't use it on a regular basis. SO... on that note, I'd like to find some more people that are dedicated to their new healthy lifestyle so we can keep each other motivated! Please friend…
