Holy Sugar!
I usually eat Karoun yogurt in the morning and decided to get the non fat version this time, not looking at anything but the calories. When I logged breakfast this morning I noticed 18g of sugar!! SERIOUSLY?! I bought 3 tubs because I have to go out of my way to get it and now I'm scared to eat it at all.…

P90X and Supliments?
I'm just getting into the crazy world of P90X and was wondering what the rest of you do for supplements? I know there is a lot of talk about it in the videos and material, but is that more of a sales push or something my body actually needs? I don't want to have to go out and spend more money if it is not really necessary.…

P90xers....To use the meal plan or not?
I'm going to be starting P90X next week and am wondering how many people follow their meal plans? Seems like a LOT of work, and it would give me 1000 more calories than I eat now. How do those that know the program think it works best?

About to cry....
Seriously, I am beyond the point of frustration and am about to have a minor breakdown. I have been working out for over a year now and lost about 40 pounds between January and August of last year. I took a month or so off to get married and came back from my honeymoon having only put on about 3 pounds. Awesome! I thought…

Saving Calories?
Does anyone ever save calories for the weekend? I plan to do a pretty heavy workout tonight before going away for a girls weekend tomorrow. If I don't eat my extra calories tonight, is it safe to say I can have a little extra tomorrow?

Help me choose!
I'm trying to be good and plan ahead for a girls lunch on Saturday and am calling on my fellow MFPers to help me make the best choice. So please tell me wise ones, which of these sounds like the less caloric/ and or healthier option? Option 1: Caprese Pesto Panini fresh mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes,…

Sugar from fruit
I know this topping has been done before, but I'm asking again! :tongue: I usually have 3-4 servings for fruit a day because veggies are harder for me to snack on. Yesterday I was over on my sugar by about 40 grams and I'm wondering if this can be having a serious effect on my progress. I know I need to eat more veggies,…

Workout Supplements
I really want to kick off the new year at the gym with a bang! I tend to workout in the evening because I can't get out of bed in the morning. Are there any supplements out there that give you that added boost at the gym without keeping you up all night? Most of the stuff I have read about appears to be geared toward body…

Is there any truth to this?
I'm sure we have all heard this before...you put on a few pounds around the holidays and people say, "don't stress over it, it will come right off!" Does new fat come off fast than the old stuff? Perhaps the new fat doesn't know us well enough to stick to us like the old pals we have carried around for so long? Or it's all…

Strength training routine?

Calories during Cardio Kickboxing?
Hi Everyone, I don't have a HRM so I'm hoping someone can give me an estimate of how many calories you would burn during a 45 minute cardio kickboxing class? MFP says about 563, but I'm going to say that is WAY too high. Any other suggestions?

I needed a MED!
At the store yesterday with my hubby looking for some new lounge pants since my were literally falling off. I grabbed the larges thinking that was me and my wonderful husband said no way, you need a medium. I laughed thinking he was crazy but got them anyway and tried them on at home. To my surprise, the large was way too…

Does anyone else get, "You want to loose more?!"
So I have lost about 40 pounds since starting my journey in January of this year. I went from a size 18 to a 12 and am still trying to loose about 10-15 more pounds, plus tone up. When people see me after a while and hear I'm still trying to loose they all say, "You want to loose more?! You will be too skinny!" I…

I can't tell if I'm getting sick or if its all in my head. To go to the gym or not to...that is the question??

Can anyone recommend a HRM?
I'm looking into getting a Heart Rate Monitor and like the idea of systems like the Body Bug. Does anyone have one they would recommend that might not be as expensive?

Starting over!
Hey everyone! I have always been pretty quiet on this site, but I think I'm ready to come out of my shell. I lost about 30 pounds for my wedding last month, and so far I have only gained about 4 back. However, I haven't worked out in 2 months...that's right TWO! and I'm finding it hard to cut down to 1200-1500 calories…

Anyone ever take a week off?
I was doing SO good with working out at least 4-5 times a week and eating well, but now I'm tired and just can't get into a grove this week. Is it wrong to want to take a break? I'm still going on walks with the dog, but I can't seem to get into gym mode to save my life.

24 Hour Fitness Circuit Program?
Has anyone done the 24 Hour Fitness Fit Light program? I love doing circuit training because don't like to keep doing the same thing for 30 minutes, but I have read some posts suggesting it may not be enough cardio. I started off doing the 30 day shred in February and lost about 7 pounds, but now I'm stuck. I'm wondering…

Won't Budge!!!!
I'm starting to get REALLY frustrated here! I started working out and counting everything in the middle of January. By March I had lost 5 pounds, but then got sick. Following the sickness, I had a crazy week at work that wouldn't allow me to work out. Now, here I am a month later and I have only lost 1.5 pounds! So…

Should women take Creatine?
Hey everyone, I'm a newbie here! I read about creatine and glutamine being good for weight loss, but I'm not so sure about the creatine part. I'm working out about a half our a day (circuit training) and also do a lot of walking. I want to loose about 30 pounds and tone up. Should I take creatine or skip it?
