Basic Military Training Buddies!
Hey all! :) I'm in the process right now of enlisting in the Air Force, and I leave right after my high school graduation in early june. I don't know anybody else right now who is in the process of getting military fit before leaving to serve our great nation, but that's why I think it'd be cool to get to know a few people…

Another Binge:( mini rant
Hey guys. So after completely entirely letting myself go on Easter and eating thousands of calories worth of simple carbs and chocolates, I binged again last night, at a party. D: I had one piece of pizza, two, one cookie, more, one slice of cake, 3 slices of cake, etc.:( I just COULD NOT STOP. I feel awful because this…

Having a 'maintenance' day once a week?
I just couldn't help myself and I kept on eating until I finished the rest of the bag of pita chips! I had already had 2 cookies and some popcorn, and when I logged it all, apparently I've eaten just a little over maintenance. Is eating at maintenance once a week a good way to boost metabolism, or help with weight loss or…

Help! Prom in one month!
Hey guys! So yeah, I'm going to two proms. The first one is on April 21. I want to set that as a mini goal of mine to work towards looking great for it. My plan was to eat as healthy, and clean as possible, and drink lots of water, while adding more intensity to my workouts. However, my parents do the grocery shopping and…

Fat
Hey! So, first of all I've never really manually set my protein/carb/fat levels on here or paid attention to them until now, so yeah. But yesterday I discovered that I can look at a little pie graph on my mfp app and see, in percentages, the fat, carbs, and protein levels for each day. I've been trying to eat a lot of…

"You Can't Out Exercise A Bad Diet"
Hey all:) I'm sure many of you have heard this countless times. I'm a bit confused however. Because, as I browse the forums, I'm seeing more and more posts which state that it doesn't matter what you eat - that it's all about calories in, calories out. Now, I don't know about you guys, but to me that sounds like it…

Craaaazy appetite!!!! Om Nom Nom!
Hey guys! So it's my second week of doing p90x, and oh my goodness! I find myself eating all day, eating back all my exercise calories, and still craving more although I'm full! I'm ravenous!! This could have something to do with the fact that it is almost my time of month.... It's not super clean food that I'm eating…

How do you log P90X workouts?
Hey guys!:) I'm having a little confusion over how to log my p90x workouts. I don't have a heart rate monitor. So I don't know how many cals I'm burning. I've been using mfp's built-in "circuit training" option under the cardiovascular section in my diary each day, but the problem with this is I don't know if I should be…

P90X Binge
Yep. I binged at a party tonight on the end of my very first week of p90x. :( I simply gave in and I feel awful. Should I start over on Monday? Should I just continue? Should I continue and just eat super low amount of food for the next few days? Idk :( heeelp

Lost the battle...WIN THE WAR! :D
Had an awful binge last night. Tons of pizza, and TONS of cake after a day of pushing my cals to the limit. I told myself no. I did it anyway. I caved in. But you know what? Just because I've lost a battle, does NOT mean I've lost the war!! I WILL continue P90X, I WILL continue counting my calories, and as a punishment, I…

P90X and counting calories
WOO!!! just completed my day 2 of p90x (classic)!! These workouts are kicking my butt! :D whew!! I've got a question though: I don't have a hr monitor and I don't want to guess on how many calories I should be taking in. Should I just listen to my body for the next 90 days, eat healthy food only of course, and not worry…

Maintaining weight... and Muscle?
HULLO <3 So I have a question about maintaining. (Duh) When I get to my goal weight and get all ripped and stuff ;D , do I still have to workout equally hard every day to maintain the muscle definition and toned-ness that I achieved when I was losing? I will if I really have to, but it might be nice to get a slight break…

P90X Supplements + Nutrition Questions
Hello again :) I've got 2 questions... I'm interested in starting P90X Lean this August. I have the full P90X program in my basement because my mom got it and tried it out a while back. I don't have the supplements that are 'highly suggested' by the program, and I assume that's because my mom already had them when she was…

Opinions on P90X Lean? :)
Hey! I'm seriously considering starting P90X Lean in a couple months, so that by the end of the 90 days it will be just intime for my birthday haha. (: Anybody ever completed this intense training program? I admit, I'm pretty intimidated by it. I'm not in bad shape, but I'm not in incredible shape yet either. Is it…

Is 1200 Calories Enough?
Hey MFP :) I've been eating roughly 1200 calories a day (+ exercise calories here and there) for several weeks because that is what MFP recommended when I put in my stats. But lately I'm reading that 1200 is far too little if I want to maintain my muscle and lose weight healthily... my settings are sedentary as I don't…

I WANT to work out more, but....
.,..for some reason even if I have a whole day to myself, just sitting around, and motivation to work out, and it's noon, and I have a workout class scheduled at the gym at 7 pm, I won't work out all day, only at that class. This seemed logical, to conserve my energy all day, until I joined this site and began seeing that…

Daily Activity Level.. Heeellpppp
I'm most definitely not active, as I spend most of my day at my computer or the tv or my desk, drawing.. But my daily activity is set to Lightly Active mostly because I just can't imagine eating only 1200 calories per day for the Sedentary level. Should I just tough out the low calorie intake and try to change my daily…

Exercise calories.. 1200+ left for DINNER?!
Okay okay, I know there's a LOT of confusion on here about exercise calories, and I've gathered that I should eat at least 70-80% of my exercise calories to keep fueling my body and lose weight healthily. I burned 840 today with line dancing for 90 minutes and circuit training for 60. HOW in the WORLD am I supposed to eat…

Losing last 10 lbs + toning up!
Hey all! :D This may seem like a pretty general question but I'm looking to lose my last 10-ish lbs, and tighten and tone up my midsection and thighs! I never do the same workouts every day, mix things up, work hard. I'm on a daily calorie goal of 1500 and usually burn anywhere from 250 - 650 per workout. (I aim for 6…

Pizza... is it really THAT Bad?
I never thought pizza was that big of a deal as long as you had it in moderation.. I'm talking 1, or 2 slices. But to classify it as a 'cheat meal' seems a bit overboard to me. I know I know, there are better things to eat, and I'm sure it's loaded with carbs, but come one. It's EVERYWHERE! I can't just AVOID it.. There's…
