Weight gain after 2 weeks of boot camp?
I started a Boot Camp June 1, been going pretty consistently to all the workouts and following their meal plan for the last 12 days. Weighed in this morning +2 lbs... what's up with that?! I don't feel like I've gained muscle that fast and my pants are so tight. Is it possible for our bodies to metabolize a high protein…

Logging PiYo
I know I need to buy a heart rate monitor but I haven't yet and have a week's worth of PiYo workouts that I'm not sure if I'm logging correctly. Right now I've been using Map My Fitness and logging P90X YogaX workouts and when they transfer into MFP they show up as calisthenics, rigorous effort. Anyone else do PiYo…

Looking for more friends!
I did an initial push to add friends when I first signed up (after baby#1) but here I am years later (after baby #3) and realizing that I only have a few active friends to help with motivation and encouragement. I just cleaned up my friend list and some of them hadn't logged on in 40+ months, yikes! I'm a working mom of 3,…

Stress eating
I totally just caught myself stress eating. I had a frustrating interaction with a colleague, came back to my office, opened my drawer and pulled out some old chocolate from Christmas... minty white chocolate that I don't even like. I took one bite and stopped, realized what I was doing and tossed the rest in the trash.…

Baby #3, breastfeeding and tracking food with no weight loss
Baby #3 is about 4 months old and I am breastfeeding. With babies 1 and 2 I seemed to lose the weight quicker, this one is just lingering. I've been logging all my food regularly for about 3 weeks and have only lost about 1-2 lbs. My daily goal is 1,370 calories, but I log breastfeeding as using 500 calories per day, so…

3 weeks w/ no weight loss... why?
I'm going on almost 3 weeks now with pretty much 0 weight loss. I've been fairly consistent with meals and logging. My caloric goal is 1,500/day. Occasionally I've gone over but not frequent enough to lead me to think that's why. Around the same time (3 weeks ago) I (1) stopped taking my birth control pills and also (2)…

BFing down to 1 time a day, how many calories burned?
My BFing is down to only 1 time a day. What do you think I'm burning, maybe 100-200 cal? Would you even bother tracking calories burned for so little?

favorite recipes and/or meal plans?
I'm in a rut with my current menu and need some new ideas. What are some of your favorite recipes and/or cookbooks? It would be awesome if they were part of a meal plan in case I wanted to do a complete overhaul. No dietary restrictions other than maintaining my calorie goal, which is currently 1550.

Pros/Cons of 26 vs 29'er MTB
I'm looking for some advice on whether to purchase a 26" or 29" mountain bike. I'm looking at the Diamondback women's specific Lux, both are hardtail. For trail riding I would be riding around mostly desert sandy trails, minimal hills. But I would also like to use the bike for riding around town with a child seat or…

Fitness plan for pregnancy
I just found out that I am pregnant again. During my last pregnancy, exercise consisted of rubbing my belly and complaining about how big I was. I am determined not to go down that same path! What's a good workout plan for pregnancy? I'm thinking walking and swimming... maybe exercise DVDs... what else?

Once a month cooking?
Has anyone tried once-a-month cooking?? I have to cook for my whole family plus my father-in-law who's diabetic. I'm trying to think of ways to get lots of meals prepared in advanced... but meals where I can control how healthy they are, instead of pre-packaged stuff. Any tips?

Trying to find motivation to start setting my alarm clock for 4:45am to squeeze in 30 min workout before getting ready for work... For those who do morning workouts, how early are you getting up??

Snacking while at your desk
What are some good snacks for sitting around at work? It's probably more habitual than actual hunger, but when I'm buried in a task a work I just want to nibble on something. If I bring trail mix I can easily eat way too much and go over calorie needs. I get burned out on baby carrots after a while, so much crunching.…

benefit of saunas?
Do any of you use saunas before or after workouts? What is their benefit? I've used them on spa days but never in conjunction with a workout. My fitness center has one and there are always people using it. Just curious... thanks!
