Avoiding sugar crash? Workouts help?
So I was trying to replace my breakfast with a protein smoothie. Muscle Milk Vanilla Creme, a banana, frozen fruit (about 1 1/2c), Emergen C, and my ground up vitamins. Tastes great and keeps me full. Problem is, I was feeling like I was going to pass out from fatigue right around lunch time and I would eat desperately to…

Using phone to record steps v walking for exercise
so I keep my iPhone on me most of the day, and I allow the MFP app to pull my steps and adjust my calories based on my phone's pedometer. But what if I go for a serious walk/run? I usually bring my phone for the music/coaching and just in case of emergency. But if it's recording the steps of that workout and then I tell…

Weight loss after baby and gallbladder removal
I had my second baby 4 months ago. After my first, I lost 60lbs in about 5-6 months but then started having gallbladder problems with the end result of a week in the hospital and having it removed. Now I haven't lost a single pound of weight after this baby and I'm starting to feel wonky in a lot of ways, one of which is…

Feel like a complete Newbie again - Help please!
So I was eating right and walking and exercising until 18 months ago. Then I had my son. I would think I would be in better shape now than when he was born - running after an 18 month old and weighing less than I have since I was married. But my muscles feel weak. Weaker than I can ever remember being. My legs tire easily,…

Not hungry but want to eat!
I'm on a new med and as a side effect, it seems to have reduced my appetite. Awesome, right? But I still find myself WANTING to eat. I'll stand in front of the fridge or cupboard and want to put something in my mouth, but I'm not hungry so it's weird. I used to feel hungry all the time. Now I don't know what to do. Anyone…

Ever drink too much water?
Yesterday I went over my calories with horrible foods. Today I felt so bad when I got up that decided to take t really easy - eat a light breakfast and lunch, and try to drink as much water as possible to flush out all the sodium and just plain crap. But I've felt nauseous all day, with cramps and what not. Am I drinking…

Toes fall asleep while running?
Has anyone had this happen to them? My toes start to have that feeling like their asleep - or constantly 'waking up' and tingling. This only happens to me while on the elliptical machine or on a treadmill. I've tried different shoes, tied different ways, so I'm fairly certain it's not that. I'd like to hear if anyone has…

Did I set my calories too low?
The way I set up my goals set my calories to 1200 a day. Sometimes I can eat that much and feel full all day. But I'm super tired almost every day. I know I'm sleeping better as the weight started to come off right away, but I make poor eating decisions while tired, and I'm tired to the point of wanting a 2hour nap every…
