That feeling you get...
When you see the exercise equipment you need is out of stock - order it anyway - and a few days later have an estimated delivery date that’s only a week out! I don’t know how much longer I could have worked out with just 12 lb dumbbells. Thank you, Amazon gods! 🤣

What counts as cardio?
I have a question that I should probably know the answer to already but eh, I figured I would ask anyway. What do you guys classify as cardio? I know treadmill, elliptical, kickboxing, HIIT, etc but what about like..a fast paced metabolic resistance workout or a bootcamp style workout that keeps your heart rate in the…

Lost and don’t know how much I should be eating
I need some guidance to know if I’m on the right track. I’m 5’5 1/2, 126 lbs, and looking to drop body fat. I’m around 27% and gain it all in one area, so I look very flabby and bulgy in the hips. It looks to be too much on my very small frame. I work out four to five days a week - a mix of strength, cardio, and…

Tracking Exercise With Fitbit
Hi friends! I have finally synched my Fitbit up with the MyFitnessPal app. However, I’m curious if it incorporates your exercise along with your steps? For instance, I burned 400 calories through exercise but it logged 1700 steps into the app, not the actual exercise I did. Is that something that I will have to do…

Anyone Else Doing Cathe Friedrich Workouts?
I would love some accountability buddies! Where my Cathe fans at?!

Is it rude to work out in my second floor condo?
I’m a group ex instructor and unfortunately, all of the gyms around here are closed down because of the plague that shall not be named. I need to make sure I maintain my current level of fitness - but I feel awful for the little 94 year old lady who lives in the condo below me. Now, I’m always very mindful of this because…

Need to lose fat and gain muscle. Help!
Hello all! I’m a group exercise instructor who has completely changed around my current fitness routine - but still unsure if I’m on the right path. After a recent InBody scan, I was told that I have very low muscle mass and a higher body fat percentage (28.6%). I find it mind boggling since I eat well and work out 4-5…

Anyone else doing LIIFT4?

I gained all my weight back and I'm so upset with myself...
Well, I never thought I'd have to write something like this, but silly me has gained all of my weight back. I am exactly ten pounds heavier than I was at this time last year and it makes me so so sad! I recently settled into a new full time job and have not been too thrilled with it. I've now realized I'm an emotional…

How many lbs do you ladies usually gain during that time..?
You all know which time I'm speaking of. That lovely one week a month. Woke up this morning and I gained a pound of my weight back. I usually don't weigh myself often and now that I have been, I take notice of every little fluctuation. Just curious about how it varies with everyone.

12 hour shifts have led to binging and weight gain...
Hello lovely ladies and handsome gentlemen! I've recently switched jobs and am having some major issues with working out as well as portion control with my meals. I was previously working in an orthopedic office and had access to tons of food (for the most part, I avoided all of this deliciousness), but I would work a…

Is spin class every day a bad idea?
I love cycling, and I love it so much that I've purchased a rather expensive unlimited pass at a local cycling studio not too far from my home. They offer small, high intensity classes once a day on RealRyder bikes. I love going every day, but is this unhealthy in any way as far as overly exerting my muscles? I'm in pain,…

People telling me that I'm too thin..um I'm MAD!
A little background, I'm just about 5'6 and weigh around 129/130 on a good day. I'm nowhere NEAR emaciated in the slightest. However, my workplace is full of overweight people who eat like slobs. I work in a doctor's office and we have free lunch delivered to us 3-4 times a week---none of which I eat. Anyway, I wake up…

I thought i could avoid it but...
i've decided to go out and buy the 30 Day Shred. I spoke to my spin instructor and he said I should be doing the bike 3 days a week and cross training on my off days. I have vacation in two months. Jillian is sure to whip me into shape. She's so hardcore and I'm scared!!! Do any of you ladies do cardio before or after you…

For those of you who cycle...
This is moreso a question for the ladies. I just started cycling classes this past week and love them. I've only ever used one of those sit down stationary bikes, so this is a big change for me...especially since these are RealRyder bikes. Anybody ever heard of them? They tilt from left to right as if you're riding…

To eat or not eat the chocolate covered peep. That is the qu
Easter has come and gone, and although I am a 25 year old woman, my mother still loves to make a basket up for me every year. She knows I love Peeps, and I absolutely love the chocolate covered peeps that they sell now. So, I'm sitting here (that time of the month, mind you), and I'm just craving something a little sweet.…

I always seem to be over my daily sugar intake. Help?
I eat well, keep snacking to a minimum, etc. No matter what I do, I'm always way over my sugar intake for the day, and slightly over my fat/protein as well. I know the protein is fine to be over a bit, but I'd like to stay within the goals MFP has designated for me as much as possible. If you take a peek at my food diary,…

Leg injury, can't exercise much, will I still lose?
Hi everyone! I joined Monday and am thoroughly loving every bit of this website! The support here is unbelievable and it's really enjoyable to follow a 1200 calorie diet. Thought it would be hard, but I really am feeling much better since doing so. Anyway, I have an ongoing leg injury that prohibits me from working out a…

Has anybody eliminated a lot of meat and seen a difference?
I'm big on chicken, but I get so sick of eating it all the time. There are some days where I'll eat strictly vegetarian...not because I force myself to, but because it's just what I'm in the mood for. I LOVE the Morningstar maple veggie sausage patties and the buffalo wings, and of course am a huge fan of egg whites,…

Already lost 2 lbs!
I just started MyFitnessPal on Monday and have seen a 2 lb weight loss! Now, I'm sure it has a lot to do with all the junky food i consumed on Easter, but I feel so much healthier and lighter since I've been keeping to a strict 1200 calorie diet. No exercise this week as I've been having trouble with a leg injury, but I'd…

Hi ladies and gents! Happy to be here!
Hello everyone! I'm 25 years old, 5'5 and I think around 135 lbs, but I'll have an exact measurement tomorrow when I get a new scale. The one I have right now is a little wacky. Anyway, what prompted me to join is my upcoming trip to Vegas at the end of July. My whole issue is the flank area (love handles). These have been…
