The Good vs. The Bad
The good: After getting back on track, even with a week of vacation, I am starting to notice small differences in my body. My calves, thighs, and hips especially. The consistent cardio work is starting to bring out toned muscles and also naturally smaller measurements.....ok, so it's tiny, and minor, and possibly I'm the…

Cold Weather Makes Me Hungry!
I always run into a problem when cold weather kicks in. I am starving all the time! This is especially true for anything that could be defined as comfort food....heavy starches, lots of fat, and unfortunately, fast food. What can I do?

How did your body lose the weight?
Good Morning All, I stepped on scale this morning for my weigh in to see that I had lost 2 lbs! This is such happy news for me. However, I am a bit frustrated.

Working out during the school year
Hi There, So I finally got serious about becoming a healthier person a few weeks ago. I feel so much better already! But, I'm a little concerned for the upcoming school year.

Always going over protein
Hi All, I just started MFP a few days ago and I'm hitting a small rough patch. According to my food diary, I should be eating about 48 grams of protein each day. I've gone over everyday so far. Yesterday, I was over by 17 grams! I've really been trying to watch and log what I eat. But it seems like between a scrambled egg,…
