Moms with toddlers...how do you find time to exercise?
I have a 3 1/2 year old daughter. It is practically impossible to work out anymore, because she barely ever takes naps anymore and follows me around all day. I can't even go to the bathroom in privacy (as I'm sure you all understand.) How do you ladies find time to work out? She used to religiously take naps and that was…

Background in pics
Is it just me or does it seem like no one bothers to clean up their bathroom counters or bedroom floors when taking pics? I'm not being judgmental, because I know sometimes there is a mess..especially if you have kids. BUT if you're going to take a pic and post it online...do yourself a favor and tidy up a bit…

Being the skinny one
Most of my family is overweight. On my stepmother's side...pretty much everyone (other than my step sister) is overweight including my half brother. However, on both of my biological parent's side...weight isn't an issue..................BUT in my immediate family it seems EVERYONE is heavy but my father. You know how…

Organic All Natural Peanut Butter
Ok.....am I the only one that is turns into a rock for? Because having to refrigerate it, it becomes so hard. How do you all manage to spread it? I ended up buying Jif All Natural which contains a little bit of Palm oil, but no trans fat. It's still creamy and I don't have to refrigerate it.

Gas, bloating, constipation and pain
Sorry if this is TMI for anyone, but I'm in a lot of pain over here. I have been eating a high fiber diet for a while now and only recently have I started having real issues with gas and bloating. I had major constipation when I was pregnant, but that seemed to pass after I had her. Well, in the last year the constipation…

Eating peanut butter every day . . .
Ok, so I seriously love peanut butter. When I have extra calories, I usually have a slice of toast with 1 T of peanut butter on it. If I have a lot of calories left over (which I work out for sometimes just to eat this), I will have a peanut butter & jelly and very occasionally a fluffernutter. I don't have a sweet…

Veins?
I have protruding veins all over my arms and even some on my calves. What is the reason for this? They are more prominent recently, but I've only lost 1.5lbs. I'm assuming that it's nothing to worry about, but I'm curious what's different. Thanks.

Feeling guilty and lazy
I have been sick since last week and I have only worked out once. I have so much head and chest congestion that I can't breathe very well. I just feel so lazy that I haven't been working out. I wish this cold would go away already, it's been 11 days now. I plan on working out later tonight after my daughter goes to bed, so…

Salad causing gas?
Lately it seems like anything I eat makes me blow up like a balloon. I had a salad for lunch (lettuce, tomatoes, carrots) and I blew up like the Staypuft marshmallow man. My stomach hurts and I can actually feel bubbles in there! Does anyone else have this issue with salad?

Colon cleanse (enema type)
Has anyone ever tried this or know anything about it? I know someone who swears by it, but would like to hear more from others if anyone is willing to share.

Minimum of 1200
I'm starting to wonder if 1200 should actually be my minimum. I know for most people it's a great minimum, but I am a very little person. I'm 4'11" and 115lbs striving for 108. My BMR is only 1137. I haven't lost weight in a while..all while tracking everything I ate and exercising. I have been sick this last week and…

Craving a big juicy bacon cheeseburger
Ok....so this is really weird for me. I DON'T EAT BEEF!! Am I the only one who has strange off the wall cravings? I thought my body was trying to tell me something, but I definitely get enough protein. I don't know how to explain this.

BMR
Has anyone used their HRM and kept it calculating over a 24 hour period to find what their BMR is? I put mine on at 2pm today and so far it says that I have already burned 820 calories. MFP says my BMR is only 1137. I"m wondering if it's worth it to let it run all night and see what it says by tomorrow at 2pm.

Ravenous!
I just feel ravenous today! Do you ever have days when you just eat your maintenance calories? I worked out for almost 2 hours last night, so that might have something to do with it. I'm about to make myself workout later until I burn at least 700 calories just so that I can eat some more right now!

Insanity
Hello, I'm new to this site, but have been working out for a while. I started working out last year and lost 25lbs in about 6 months. Now, I'm just working on toning up and a six pack WOO HOO! Is anyone doing the Insanity workout? I am starting Monday 3/7, since the insanity calendar starts on Monday. I have been doing…

Heart Rate reaching 190 bpm
I just got a heart monitor and I have noticed that at the highest intensity parts of my workouts, my heart rate has reached 190. I have been working out for a while and I'm pretty fit...just working on getting toned and cut now more than anything and maybe lose 5lbs. Is this a dangerous level? The calculator says my THR is…
