Best Crossfit eating plan for weight loss??
I've been doing crossfit for 10 months now and I've eaten Paleo on and off - otherwise I eat quite clean other than the odd day or two. I find that it is very hard to lose weight however my measurements are what they would be before crossfit as if I was 10 pounds thinner. However, I still find this frustrating! I'm not…

Need Chip Replacement!
People!!! I love chips. I don't eat them, but I love them. However, I NEED some sort of munchie replacement that doesn't have carbs because if there are carbs involved, I can't help myself but overeat. I've tried the Kale chips but they aren't great if you make them yourself and the store ones are really expensive and have…

Hi all! Has anyone had any luck incorporating HIIT routines into their fitness plan? Any results from it? I'm completely STUCK and just ran a half marathon, a 5k and a 10k over the last month and still can't rid myself of unsightly lumps and bumps or the last 15lbs! I need something to burn fat fast! Please, any input…

Important Running Question...advice needed!
Ok - I've been doing the 17 Day Diet and at the same time I am training for a half-marathon. On the 17DD, you don't eat many carbs - 2 servings of fruit a day, but with veggies etc., I'm usually around 100g of carbs a day. As my training runs get longer (up to 14.5 km this week), what can I do to appropriately fuel up? Do…

What do skinny girls eat?
Just wondering - what do skinny girls eat? Is it really a matter of "metabolism"? I realize some people are naturally much thinner than others, but there must be some commonalities? I think I eat like a skinny person, yet the pounds just don't move. I don't eat meat, stay away from processed foods, and rarely eat cheese…

Vancouver Sun Run 2012!
Anyone else signed up for this? I just registered - I've done a few 10Ks but not for the last few years. Thought it would be neat if there were a group of us there! (We don't have to meet or anything - it's like 80,000 people!!!)

Wanted: Personal A**-Kicker
I think I need a person that will hold me 100% accountable - every day. Someone who will say: "Hey, did you workout today?" and if I say, "Well no, I'm just sooo tired and it was such a long day and I'm so exhausted" and they will say "WHAT THE HELL???? GO AND DO IT AND STOP COMPLAINING AND GET YOUR BUTT OFF THE COUCH AND…

I am a pizza-a-holic. I am. So I had to share that the McCain Ultra Thin Crust pizzas have like 300 - 320 cals PER HALF A PIZZA. And they are really good. You are welcome.

40/30/30 HELP!
Does anyone have any easy mfp entry friendly meals for a 40/30/30 meal plan? I mean simple! Lunches and dinners especially. No fancy recipes or anything, just as simple as possible would be really great! Trying to figure this out is exhausting! Thanks!

I can't figure this one out...
So! Help me figure this one out...On Dec. 30 I weighed 150 lbs. I went to a health resort for the weekend and ate breakfast and dinner, had a few glasses of wine/champagne over two nights - literally a few. When I came back and weighed on January 3rd I weighed 156. WTF. Probably just some water right? Then, next day, I…

Has anyone read "Unlimited" by Jillian Micheals?
I just finished workout 2 of 6 week 6 pack and as I sweat and groaned I thought, "how does this woman actually get me to continue with this madness?" I've done 30DS, Ripped In 30, and for some reason, she just gets me working! Otherwise, I'm a little down on life in general (career related) and so I checked out an excerpt…

Giddy-up
Well, I'm back on the horse today tracking wise. I've been sidelined due to medical issues and weekend trips etc., so today I'm back to tracking. I really need to get back on the workout horse as well. I'm not sure if I've gained any weight as I want to wait to flush out some of this bloat by staying away from processed…

Getting a little scary people...
I've been reading a lot of the posts lately and I just gotta say, it makes me nervous to even post THIS! I used to be on a runners forum and everyone was SO SUPPORTIVE AND KIND! When I first started on mfp I was quickly shocked to find out this is not the case here. With threads complaining about what people say, repeat…

The Worst Way to Break Plateau
Well, finally broke the plateau I was on - I was stuck at 151,152 for ever and I weighed today and 149. This is, of course, very exciting so what did I do? How did I do it? 1. Get a blocked saliva duct - a large collection of mineral which gets stuck in a tube from your salivary gland to the bottom of your mouth resulting…

Debbie Downer RANT!!!
*Disclaimer: This is a negative post expressing my EXTREME FRUSTRATION!!!! I have been doing mfp for almost 4 months. I have had some success, yes, but for the past month NOTHING!!!!! I stay within my calories, I eat some if not all exercise calories back, I drink tons of water. I up my cals, I lower my cals, I eat healthy…

I should probably work out now...
Well I just ate an ENTIRE McCain Ultra Thin crust pizza and only have 150 cals left for my day AND didn't work out today. So I'm presently wrestling with the idea of squeezing a workout in. I am a little concerned about puking in my mouth and my motivation to do this is waning but burning off a couple hundred calories…

Is this true?
I read in a thread that the scale reflects what you ate two days ago? Is this true? Anyone know?

Can't eat...blocked saliva duct :(
So, I have a blocked saliva duct and eating is SUPER PAINFUL :( . It's been going on for over a week and usually it goes away on its own but it's not this time. I'm going back to the doc after a round of anti-biotics but I just don't even know what to do! I look like a freak my whole face hurts and I'm hungry and now…

Open Diary, looking for advice...
Well, I've been stuck the last couple weeks just a pound away from my first mini-goal. I've looked over my diary to see how I can change things to start seeing results and this is what I think and I'm just looking for some more input: 1) I've been under cals a few days lately, trying to eat more 2) I try to manage my carbs…

140s, why do you allude me so?
Ugh! I have been faithfully following mfp, tracking my cals, exercising and I was so excited last week when I hit 150 as I was a mere 1 pound away from the 140s!!! I haven't been in the 140s in YEARS! Then, I went camping, ate and drank a little more than I should have, came home 2 pounds up. Now, I've worked all week,…

Stupid hormones and stupid pre-period bloat and all around ickyness. I'm feeling super bummed today and like a big ol bloaty piggy. I know it's because of hormones but I just needed to vent and get it out. I wanted to go to the beach but the sun went away just as I was leaving so now I'm sitting in my living room a…

Rest days are HARD!
Well I officially pushed a little too hard and pulled some things. So I'm forced to have a rest day and it's driving me nuts! I like to at least do 30 minutes not only for fitness reasons but so that I have a little more wiggle room in my calories and carbs. Only having 1200 cals available to me is a little stressful. And…

Dear 7-11, please make a diet slurpee...
Why don't they make diet slurpees? The only alternative I've found so far is a grande green tea frap with non-fat milk and sugar free syrup and it still has 48g of carbs and it costs 5 bucks! I think we should start some sort of campaign so we can have a slurpee on a hot day and not go into sugar shock!!!! WHO'S IN?

Honesty the best policy?
Ok well in the spirit of being honest I actually put in all my horrible choices yesterday to my tracker!!! And Saturday wasn't great either....but yesterday!!! More than 500 cals over. Ooops. And also over my sodium. But hey, I haven't lost an ounce in 2 weeks anyways right so why not have one day (Mother's Day!) where I…

Why on Earth Am I Gaining?!?!
Like many (I see), I am getting REALLY FRUSTRATED! I have been doing the 17 DD on day 15 of cycle 1 and I have been REALLY GOOD other than the odd cheese add in (ok and I had a bite of calzone today because of my anger). I got down 7 pounds within the first 10 days but the last 5 days, I have gained 2 pounds!!! If you look…
