Jillian Yoga Meltdown... Calories?
I have been doing Jillian's Yoga Meltdown on and off a couple days a week. My HRM is broken and until I buy a new one, or my hubby figures out how to fix the current one, I was wondering how many calories others have burned doing level 1 and or 2 of this work out, so I can log accurately. Thanks!

What are they putting in my food?!
Today I went to Applebees with a friend. When we left, I explained to her that I sometimes worry about going out to eat because even if the restaurant lists their nutritional info, they could be putting extra oil or more sauce in our food, because they do not always measure when food is prepared. Does anyone else ever…

You CAN Spot Reduce

When someone asks, how can I lose inches off my stomach or asks for good arm exercises, please do not response "you cannot spot reduce". Weight training and programs like the 30 Day Shred really do help you "spot reduce", You can…

Fitting On An Airplane....
Sorry this is long, but I need your advice! First let me plead with all of you to not call me ridiculous and crazy for worrying about this issue. My family and friends say I am nuts, but I am literally crippled by the anxiety that I may not fit on a plane/in the seat belt. I am flying to Seattle for a friends wedding next…

Six Week Six Pack
Should I do it everyday? My abs are wicked sore today. I can work through the pain, I did 30 Day Shred consecutively, but I am not sure I should be doing something that focuses so much on one body part everyday. What do you all think? Every other day and cardio on rest days? Thanks!

Convenience Foods that Help Keep You on Track!
Like many on MFP, I try to eat clean and healthy. Yet, I believe sometimes you need a little non-clean snack to keep you on track. For example, I love Smart Ones Dark Chocolate Raspberry icecream pops. 80 calories of delicious! Also, I rely on sugar free jello! What foods help you stay on track when you need a little snack?

Thai Food!
I am going out for Thai food tonight. I am budgeting my calories and I just did 30DayShred. I will be doing a bit of Yoga and will have approximately 900 calories to "spend" on dinner/wine. What are some good lower calorie options for me? What should I stay away from? Thanks guys!

Still Considering South Beach
I am considering starting SBD next week. I mostly want to do it because I am truly addicted to bad carbs. Does the diet really curb your cravings for them? Also, to me, SBD seems like a good eating plan, after you get out of phase one. As in eating plan, I mean for life. I would like my diet to consist more of lean meats,…

Body Dismorphia?
Lately, everytime I get together with people who haven't seen me for a while, they congratulate me and tell me I have lost SO MUCH weight and I look SO GOOD.

Stupid Measuments!
So I just took my measurements, and I was not too pleased! I have been on track more than ever and working out everyday. I did stupidly measure after breakfast. Could breakfast really make that big of a difference?

A 11 year old called me fat.
For the past few months about 20 people have told me they can tell I have lost weight and that I look great. My mother in law took it as far as asking me if I was eating enough because I look so much smaller than the last time she saw me. And my mother who is super critical of my weight called me a skinny mini last…

I want to get as healthy as possible... but i am terrified!
After starting on MFP I got very serious about getting healthy. Not just my body, but also mentally and emotionally.

New Runner
So, I am pretty new to running. When I first started I could run for about 15 minutes at about 7 mph. Yesterday I did 5 minute intervals of running and walking. This morning when I did my 5:00 a.m. run, I could only run for like 2-3 minutes before having to stop and walk! WHY!? I feel like Iam not progressing. The only…

Sick!
Do you all eat more when you are sick? Obviously not if you are sick to your stomach, but this morning I woke up with horrible aches and a bad head ache, runny nose, sore throat etc. I feel like going home and having 10 bowls of soup with saltines! Does this mean my body is run down and I need to eat? Should I just sleep.…
