Favorite PB2 recipes?
I finally bought some PB2 and looove it. Right now I just make it up the normal way and dip apples in it or spread it on crackers. I think I'll add it into a smoothie soon. What's your favorite way to use it?

Activity level?
Right now I have my activity level set to sedentary because I work at a desk for 9 hours a day. However, I'm at the gym for an hour every day (except Sunday). I also average about 14,000 steps throughout the day because I find any excuse I can to get up and move as much as possible from my desk. Should I keep my activity…

Strength then cardio or vice versa?
When I am at the gym, I do both strength training and cardio. I have fat to lose, but I also want to be strong, not just skinny! Just wondering if people have noticed better results if you do your lifting/strength workouts first then cardio or the other way around? Someone mentioned something to me a while ago that if you…

Whats your favorite protein powder?
I'm going to preface this post by saying if there is a good topic already about this (which I'm sure there is!), please feel free to simply direct me to that post!! Some people can have a bowl of cereal and berries for breakfast and be fine. Unfortunately, I am not one of those people. I need 2 eggs and turkey sausage if I…

Exercising while sick?
I have a bit of a head cold going on. Sore throat for two days, drainage, sinus pressure, headaches. Nothing to keep me from going to work but enough to make me feel yucky. Question is... what is everyone's thoughts on exercising while sick? I think its obvious that if you have a temp of 103 and puking, you should probably…

I am doing this right... right?
Hey everyone. I've been lurking for a long time but never actually been too active on the forums. Browsing topics and looking at success stories for motivation, but that's the extent of it! I was reading some threads tonight and it got me thinking... Do I really have the correct approach for the best way for me to lose…

Is it okay if...?
I go over my recommended fiber and calcium intake on a normal basis? I tend to go over at least every other day. Not by an astronomical amount, though. If this is a silly questions... oops! =P

How should I log this?
My job is a produce clerk at a local supermarket. I never stop moving, I'm always lifting and moving heavy boxes (25 to 60 lbs), traying up produce, walking here and there and back again, going up and down stairs, etc. Its definitely burning more calories than what you do at say, a desk job. But.. I'm not sure how to log…

Might as well introduce myself!
Hey everyone! I started MFP back in March, but only used it for about 2 weeks or so. I started again about a week ago and I'm determined to make it work this time! I'm 18 and from Pennsylvania. I've been an equestrian for 9 years, meaning I ride horses. That's where I get most of my exercise. I'm currently hovering around…

Why am I so darn hungry?
I feel like for the past few days, no matter how much I am I'm still STARVING. Like for lunch at noon, I had a little over a cup of green beans and asian style rice and afterwards I was completely stuffed. An hour and a half ago I had half a cup of greek yogurt, honey and some strawberries, blueberries and grapes. AND MY…

Question about how to log exercise
Hey everyone :) I work at a horse barn and two days a week I clean the stalls and feed the horses. For a good 3 hours, I don't stop moving. Pushing heavy wheelbarrows, lifting bales of hay, carrying full water buckets, not to mention walking through a LOT of deep mud (just like walking in sand! :P ) I want to log this as…
