Protein Shakes
I just bought myself some new Whey Protein (yummy chocolate) and a protein shaker. My question is, it goes up to I believe 750mL and it says to use water or milk, do you guys use water to mix it, and if so, how many scoops do you put in the whole shaker? Thanks for your help :)

Zig-Zagging Calories
Just a quick question about it. I went to http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm to figure out what my zig-zagging calories should be, and it spit out a bunch of numbers for every day of the week. Now are those calorie numbers net or overall? And is Zig-Zagging Calories worth it? I mean I'm doing fine with…

2 scales
Ok, so I have a WW Digital Scale and a health-o-meter analog scale. I'm finding the analog scale is always a bit less than the digital one and the WW, well Id step on it one time and it'll say 217 and then step on it again right away and it'll say 220. So really which one is more accurate? They were in the same spot on the…

Rice Topping
So I'm having rice for supper tonight as the hubby has flu and I have a craving for rice. I usually have soy sauce on my rice, but even the reduced soy sauce has so much salt in it. Can anyone recommend me something to put on top that is not too high in sodium?

How does that work?
Throughout the week, I noticed that 4 out of 7 days I haven't netted 1200 calories so slowly I put some of my weight back on. Usually about half a pd to a pd a day. Yesterday I weighed 225, but it was the second day I ate all the calories I was supposed to. Much to my surprise this morning when I got up, I stepped on the…

Getting slightly discouraged....
Ok, it's been over a week since I've lost anything. Well I've gained a couple of pounds and I can't figure out why. I've been exercising and staying within my goals for the most part (especially sodium). I just don't get what i'm doing wrong? I know I've done more weights than cardio this week, but jeeze. I'm getting…

Trying to make a decision....
So I decided when I first started MFP that I will allow myself one cheat meal a week. I won't be having an easter dinner this weekend because I'm working, is it really that bad if my family and i order a pizza and i have like 2-3 slices? I really want it badly, and have been so good....

Crappy Day
I've had a really crappy day at work (i'm a city bus driver and I got spit on), so I came home, cleaned up washed my uniform and well couldn't really eat dinner. I managed to some soup but that's it. My net calories are almost 700 for the day. I haven't had a day like this in quite awhile, has anyone else had a day like…

Scales
I just bought a Weight Watchers Digital scale from Walmart yesterday and it's pretty accurate compared to the one that I've used at the gym. I just wanted to know everyone else's thoughts on these scales.

What do you recommend?
Back in august I sprained my ankle at the worst level possible, and was told it'll take 4-5 months to properly heal. So I layed off of going to the gym for the most part back then. I go to the gym now, but my ankle still swells up pretty bad and my ankle bone still hurts, so I saw a doctor today and got it xrayed, thank…

How Long?

How many calories should you consume?
When you do a good workout of about 500-800 calories burned a day, how many of those burned should you be eating back? Today I have burned 608 calories, i've consumed 1360 and my net is 752,

How long?
How long since you first joined the site did you notice any changes? For me, Ive been on this for about 2 weeks and I thought I lost 3 pounds (that was about a week ago). Now I can't seem to lose any. Just curious as to when everyone started noticing changes.

If you ever feel like giving up!
If you have been doing MFP for awhile and you've hit a plateau or you need the motivation, listen to "You Are Loved" by Josh Groban. It has definately helped me!

What to do?
I was wondering how many calories I should consume on days that I don't get a chance to go to the gym? MFP says I should have 1710 a day. I try to get to the gym at least 4-5 times a week, but on the days I can't go, I just wanna know what the safest number of calories to consume without having to worry about gaining.

Help me!
So I've been going to the gym off and on since September of 2010. Well off and on really. What I have been doing is mostly the treadmill and the elliptical. I usually burn anywhere from 600-700 calories when I have gone. But my question is, what exercises can I do to get rid of the mid section? That seems the biggest…

Almost 30 and engaged!
In less than a year now I turn 30 and on New Years Eve I got engaged. Yay me :) (well the engaged part anyways) What I'm really not too happy about is the fact that over the past 4 years I've gained about 40 pounds, granted I do drive bus for a living so I'm sure that doesn't help. I'm not just looking for a quick fix diet…
