healthy foods=tummy troubles?
I seems my gut is just totally off balance lately and I have been trying to figure it out and it seems a lot of "healthy" foods are triggers for my problems. Dairy, nuts, broccoli, legumes, whole grains etc. I have tried to figure out what it could be but I just don't know. I am on the verge of seeing a Dr. about it but…

logging exercise when BMR and TDEE is used?
For those of you that follow this method of calculating your calorie intake.. it is supposed to take into account your exercise right? Say my calorie requirement after calculating it is around 1900... and I exercise burning 500 calories, I don't eat that back right? I just eat the 1900 every day? If this is the case do you…

insane amount of calories-does this seem right?
I just calculated my TDEE and BMR and all that jazz again after changing it to moderate. I work out about 60 min 4 days a week splitting cardio and strength, resistance, and abs. Apparently I am supposed to eat 2283 a day... I am having a hard time eating 1800 on non work out days which is just barely above my BMR of 1784.…

steel cut oats
I finally broke down and tried steel cut oats and they were delicious. Question is, since they seem to take a long time to cook.. can you cook them ahead of time and reheat them later? I used to have plain quick oats but I love the steel cut ones but I usually dont have the time in the morning to make them. Thanks in…

Trying to shake the carbs
I need some tips on shaking the carbs. I think they are holding me back. I stay within calories but when I look at my diary I see what the problems are. Too many crackers, chips and bread. I believe that you dont have to deprive yourself of things but I also realize that I eat too much of this stuff. In all reality Paleo…

Ladies.. what about gear for the larger "girls"
I went bra shopping today at See Jane Run and was NOT that impressed with their selection for bras for larger busts. Do any of you ladies with larger girls have suggestions for a great compression bra for DD cups and larger? I don't mind spending $50 bucks for a GOOD supportive bra. I jog mostly so need something that will…

foot injury and low impact exercises?
I was diagnosed with calcaneus bursitis where the tendons around my heel are inflamed. I was doing the 30-day shred and it made it horrible, I had taken up jogging and it is unbearable now so I have to really limit the amount of impact I put on my heel. I am looking for suggestions to exercises I can do at home that will…

Those with HRM's
I just got my Polar T4 and used it while out in the garden. When I stopped it, it said I wasn't in the zone. So when it says I burned 405 calories.. would I record all of this. I did some sweating out there and it wasnt easy garden work, lots of lifting bending squatting. How do I know how many of those calories were fat…

4 weeks ago
I was 10 lbs heavier and could barely jog for 1.5 min on the treadmill. Today I ran a full mile on the treadmill in 13.5 min. Straight, no stopping.. I have never been a runner and today I did what I thought was impossible. Thanks MFP.

Plantar fascitis?
Is there any relief from this. It has really been flaring up a lot lately and it hurts so bad. I'm trying to train for a 5K but this morning on my jog, I just couldnt make it though and had to walk. Is there anything to help ease the pain? And does it ever go away?

Scales-suggestions?
We have had our scale for a while now and it seems to be pretty inconsistant. Do any of you have a suggestion for a good one that will give consistant results? I think we need to replace ours.

If my abs don't hurt?
I am not in great shape at all and the last couple times at the gym I have been doing some crunches, whether with the V-machine or on incline or the resistance machine and my abs just dont hurt.. I need to feel there is something under there. Surely I have some hidden right? Is there something I can do to feel a burn in…

Coffee
I love my coffee.. for the taste.. not the caffeine high cause it really relaxes me and not pumps me up. KWIM.. BUT I do NOT want to use artificial sugars not because I don't like the way they taste but because I dont like how unnatural they are. So I have been using regular sugar in my coffee for a while but not measuring…

Kinect Your Shape Fitness?
Does anyone here use this? I got it for Christmas.. but just started using it. When I go to the gym and do 30 min of cardio I feel like I manage that fine but can definately tell when I do the game that I feel sore after squats and lunges. I just want to know if anyone thinks the calories burned is accurate and how helpful…

Reality check
Tonight I had my husband take some before pictures for me... and whoa.. it was a wake up call for sure. I knew I looked heavy in pictures fully clothed but man I had no idea how heavy I really look in a sports bra and bike shorts. Hubby and I are trying to do this together but those pictures are motivation enough!
