Elimination of Diet Soda & Reduction in Cravings
Hi all. I am curious to know if anyone has successfully given up diet soda and noticed a significant improvement in your cravings for sweets? Now before you go down the aspartame will kill you path.....that's not really my concern. I am not convinced that artificial sweeteners are necessarily BAD for me. What I would like…

Work in Progress
Today marked 365 days of logging on MFP. For the first nine or ten months, I tried to eat a little less, work out a little more, but really had no clue what I was doing and I was a bit aimless without any significant results. In February, I decided to get brave and start lifting heavy. 3 months, roughly 7 - 9 lbs…

Shin Splints
Can anyone recommend a brand/type of calf support to help heal shin splints? I am searching online and there are several different kinds with a pretty wide range of pricing. Thanks!

BodyBugg versus Body Media Fit
Really wanting to buy a body bugg or body media fit. Found some used ones on Ebay that aren't too expensive, but do you have to have the subscription online to use them or is it strictly to track calories?

Make-Up/Foundation
This is completely unrelated to fitness, but the easiest way I have to get a lot of responses from a lot of people. I currently use Bare Escentuals makeup. I like it but I don't LOVE it. I see pictures of girls with this amazing made up skin. It looks fresh and dewy and smooth. What type of foundation do you use? Cost is…

Christmas Pot-Luck
Having our Christmas party at work this Friday and I have no idea what to take! Would love to take something healthy and tasty. I asked my coworkers for ideas and got suggestions like chess bars, oreo cake, etc. And my gut reaction to that (no pun intended) was....yuck! So does anyway have a quick and easy idea for me,…

Opinions on BMR
I calculated my BMR based on my height and weight, and came up with 2000 - 2300 calories a day, depending if I consider myself lightly or moderately active. I work in healthcare, and alternate sitting to type and getting up and down all day. I lift weights (fairly heavy) 3 or 4 times a week and do cardio 2 or 3 times as…

Under calorie goal
So I keep reading all these posts about "My calorie goal is set at 1200 and I'm always under....do I need to eat more? But I'm not hungry." What I'd like to know is this: How are you NOT hungry? My calorie goal is 1500 calories, plus exercise calories. I exercise so that I can eat more! 1500 calories is tough. At 1200, I…

Chalean Extreme
Hi! I am considering purchasing Chalean Extreme and was just curious to get some real, honest opinions on it. I did Turbo Fire, and I loved the energy and the fun music, but want to do some toning and I enjoy weight lifting way more than cardio. How long are the CLX workouts and do they have the same fun music as Turbo…

Ways to prepare chicken
I need some suggestions for healthy ways to prepare chicken in advance. I try to cook several items on the weekend that I can just grab and take to work. I have tried baking chicken then putting it in the microwave, but I just really don't like it reheated. Someone had suggested steamable ziploc bags but I'm a little…

P90X or Insanity???
Hi there. I joined MFP back in the winter. Initially I was working out to the Turbo Fire series. I liked Turbo Fire....it was fun, and it made me feel like I was dancing, so the workouts went pretty quickly. Unfortunately, I couldn't tell it was doing a lot for me. I ordered the Supreme 90 series a few months ago. Using…

Pre/Post-Workout Eating
I have been doing MFP for several months and have also been working out fairly consistently for that same amount of time. Most of the time I try to eat fairly clean, though there are times I don't do as well. I work out nearly each morning, and I push myself pretty hard. I haven't been seeing results as quickly as I would…

Supreme 90?
Can anyone tell me about their experiences with this? I have done 30 day shred and turbo fire. Looking to tone more now, but hesitant to spend the money on Insanity or P90X, and also don't have quite that long to work out. Please share the good and bad. Thanks!
