I don't eat BAD, but I do eat A LOT!
Probably between 2400 and 2800 kcal/day! 4-6 small/medium meals/snacks/protein smoothies a day 40/30/30 C/F/P macros I'm 160 lbs, 5'7. Workout 3-4 days a week (yoga, weight training, rowing) I'm great about water. So how can I cut my calories down but not be so famished?! I'm sooooo hungry all day!

Cutting out sugar (promise me I'll eventually stop crying)
As they say "1 is too many, and 1,000 is never enough". I'm pretty sure I'm a legitimate sugar addict. I gave it up for Lent but never really felt "free". Weeks in, I fantasized about an Easter Day binge (which I did: coffee cake, DD Coolata, donut, candy, cheesecake, Reese's cup, Coke....) I asked to just smell people's…

What is your tiny but POWERFUL pre-workout energy source?
I gym M-F @5am normally on an empty stomach (prevents puking). But I'm exhausted and am thinking I need a quick surge of SOMETHING that is small but not anywhere near filling. I'm thinking maybe those small fuel pak pouches?? NO artificial sweetners NO GMO NO soy TIA!
-
What's your easy, quick, go-to late night snack?
Ya know, so you don't dive face first into ice cream or a bowl of cereal at 11 PM! I've been doing a handful of nuts, but was looking for a quick, satisfying fill me up. Thanks!

Anybody lift at Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel?
I neeeeeeeeeeeed to get back in there. Anybody?
-
Frick. I was soooooo close.
Worked my *kitten* off last year. Got within 5 lbs of my GW!! And then I let things slip- stopped my meticulous tracking on here ("Meh. I know the macros of any food now") slowly stopped running ("Meh. Florida summers are too damn hot. And dreadmills suuuuck") gave up heavy lifting ("Meh. Kids are out of school. Can't go…

I wish we could split MFP up....
Maybe between those who are new and can't figure out why the scale won't move eating 1200 calories in Twinkies. And then the rest if us. *sigh*. Is that bullying?
-
Anybody know how to hide pics in an album on the iPhone
Ya know, so my phone won't get puke on it if some stranger picks it up and starts scrolling. Muchas thanks!
-
Anybody have experience with pinched nerves?
I'm not even sure that's what I have. But it feels like someone has laid a cross/addition sign on the top of my shoulder - I have shooting pain that runs up the side of my neck, down my arm, down to cross my collar bone and down my back past my shoulder blade. I've had it for 5 days, since I pulled my lower back Saturday…
-
Shaking muscles are driving me mad!!!
I have rest days. I'm not overloading (as in, I can finish a 5x5 set without breaking form). But when I go to do stabilization stuff (planks, push-ups, etc) I shake so bad it's embarrassing. Advise.
-
Am I doing squats wrong if...
....I only feel it it in my quads and not anywhere else? Not hams, glutes, etc. Ideas?
-
How do you even out mismatched strength?
For instance, on OHP with dumbbells, my left arm obviously struggles more than my right. So would I do different weights?? Higher or lower weight for the weaker arm?? TIA!
-
How THE hell do you stretch the arch of your foot?
Seriously. Any ideas?
-
MFP goes down for 15 minutes...
And I go looney bins. Screw AA, NA, OA. I need MFPA. :sad:
-
MFP is a black rabbit hole
Seriously. I *must* get up and start cooking! But I'm consistently sucked into this "SL/pop tarts/starvation mode/poop problems/noobs" vortex! And I neeeeeevvvvveerrrrrr wanna get out!!! ;-)
-
Um, I bought 24 Pillsbury toaster strudels today...
For $3. Whoops. :glasses:
-
What would be the OPPOSITE of Body Glide?
Basically, when I'm running or lifting and getting really sweaty, I cannot keep my ear buds in my ears. So I'm wondering if there is something that I can use to keep them in place, from slipping and sliding. It's crazy annoying.
-
What is your resting heart rate?
It may have been sheer boredom or that I was cold today at my EKG class. But I was shocked to find mine at 52. FWIW, I do run and lift, but I thought it would be at least on the low side of normal (60-100)
-
What constitutes a 'runner'?
*Must your shoes be expensive? *Is there a "minimum miles run per week" requirement? *How many running subscriptions must I receive before I am authentic? *How long until I fill up my whole back bumper and windshield with "26.2" & "3.2" and "0.0" stickers? Basically I just want to know when I can confidently claim myself…

Saturday morning - who's gymin' it?

Anybody run/workout to techno/trance?
Always looking for new music to get motivated and energized. Right now I listen to: Ferry Corsten Armin Van Buuren Oakenfold Ocean Lab Tiesto BT Van Dyk Any artists or songs that you love?
-
It's Friday - who's logging booze??
Simply Lemonade Ketel One Quantities TBD.
-
Honestly now- how much time do you spend on MFP?
I gave up FB for Lent and picked up MFP! Logging/diary- ~30ish mins/day Message Boards - prob 1-2 hours a day, at least.....
-
Tell me about your headphones!
I need new ones bad! Must be over-the-ear (like hooks over the top of your ear) and work on an iPhone. Thanks! :-)
-
Ppl that use the food diary feature religiously...
How much stock do you place in the pop up, ya know, after you hit Finished Logging for Today, Complete this Entry? I feel like a greyhound chasing the illustrious rabbit around the track. I keep thinking "It's been 5 weeks and I'm nowhere near XXX lbs!" And it's been pretty consistent and I know my calories, macros and…

Scale never changes - anyone else discouraged?
I want an active lbs lost ticker! Lol! My clothes fit better, I've lost inches almost everywhere. I'm neurotic about cutting calories and working out 6 days a week. But the scale just wont budge down! I know I'm building (minuscule) muscle (slowly) but muscle does NOT weigh more than fat. 1 lb is 1 lb is 1 lb. so what…
