Weight gain from not eating enough and exercising too much.
Can someone explain WHY you gain weight when you exercise too much and don't eat enough? I have a friend who is doing just that. She's working out for an hour a day, burning 500 calories and eating around 1100 a day, so only netting 600. She just called me in tears because she gained 3lbs since monday and wants to know…

Is it just me???? (rant!)
Or is the length of toilet paper getting smaller? I used to get the Charmin Mega rolls and now I can't find them anymore. Besides that I swear the TP rolls are shorter because they don't fit on the holders anymore. I'm so bummed!!!!!!!:sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

How many sets should I do?
So right now I usually do 8-10 reps with a weight as heavy as I can tolerate and then repeat the same sequence. Should I do 2 or 3 sets? After 2 sets I'm really feeling it and by now 30 mins have gone by. Should I lighten the weights to squeak out another set or keep it as it is? My goal is to lose body fat! Thanks so much!

Commercials!
I hate that stupid Geico pig! He's annoying as hell and can suck it. I also hate the ones with those fake kids walking around complaining to their dad "Dad, mom said that you said wires are ugly. Are my wires ugly?" WTF???? Creepy kids! The one with the little old ladies talking about insurance is funny. The one lady put…

What if I'm over my fat goal but under my calorie goal?
I'm over my fat grams a little today, but still under my caloric goal by about 200 calories. Is this a problem? Do I look at calories first and then go by macros?

What day of the week is your weigh in day and why?
I picked Friday. That way if I loose some weight during the week, I'm way more inclined to stay on plan and work out over the weekends. You?

Calling all Moms! (Please read and bring the tissues!)
This is for the mothers who have sat up all night with sick toddlers in their arms, wiping up puke laced with Oscar Mayer wieners and cherry Kool-Aid saying, "It's okay honey, Mommy's here". Who have sat in rocking chairs for hours on end soothing crying babies who can't be comforted. This is for all the mothers who show…

I'M A NEW MOM!!!!!!!!!!
Hey MFP peeps! I'm a very very proud new mommy to a 8 month old pit bull puppy named Ruby! She's the puppy in my avatar pic. I was fostering her for over a month now and my hubby said "I couldn't think of anything to give you for Mother's Day...so if you want to keep Ruby you can keep her." I started crying and said "Of…

Any Pit bull owners in here?
I'm currently fostering a incredibly sweet and loving 7 month old female pit bull that I am in love with! I've never had a pit but would love to adopt her if husband says it's ok. How much training do they need? Also, she makes the stinkiest farts EVER! Is this normal? She can clear a room with one fart! LOL!:laugh: :laugh:

Question for runners. Carrying your keys, etc.

Dog people...c'mere!!
So my 7 month old foster puppy, Ruby, is an incredible chewer! She has destroyed literally every single dog toy I've gotten her. Stuffed animals with squeekers? Fugghetaboutit!

What time do you get up?
I set my alarm for 6am to workout before the kids are up. On the weekends the kids let me sleep in until 7ish. What time do you guys get up?
-
Oh the irony!!!!!!!!
Why do I have to get my kids up for school but on the weekends they are up before 6am?:huh: Why do my cats come inside after being out all day and immediately crap in the litter box?:angry: Why does it rain after I wash my car?:grumble: Add yours!!!!!!:laugh:

What do you think of this?????
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20802898,00.html It's the story of Daniel Murphy from the Mets who took 2 days off to be with his wife as she gave birth to their first child. I hope I posted that link right! So what do you think MFP? Personally, I think this is total BS! Family should always come first! I am just…

Both arms or one at a time for overhead presses?
hey guys! I can do OH presses using 20lbs in each arm (simultaneously) or 25lbs doing one arm at a time. Which is better? The 20lbs in each arm is VERY challenging when I do both together BUT I can also complete the same # of reps using the 25lbs but doing one arm at a time. Is one better or is there a difference? Thanks!

Women should ONLY do cardio and NOT lift weights!
............Says my clueless husband this morning!:laugh: I told him that I was lifting more weights during my workouts and he gave me a look like :huh: and said "Well, that's ridiculous. Women should only do cardio. If you want to lose weight don't lift weights because then you'll just get heavier because muscle weighs…

Anyone have a greyhound???
I want one!!! I just emailed a woman who runs a greyhound rescue about fostering. I've loved the breed for years but never got one. My hubby is more of a gun dog guy so hopefully if I can foster he'll see how loving and sweet greyhounds are and want one himself! Anyone have one or ever had one?

Shameless brag about my daughter!
I just got a call this morning from a radio station located in Philly and my daughter, who is 8 years old, will be the weather girl on the air next Monday! Her teacher sent home some paperwork a few months ago to fill out if we wanted to enter our child for the contest and my daughter won. If anyone is in the Philly, NJ,…

Which one would you choose?
I went car shopping today and narrowed it down to 2. One is a Buick enclave. It's 2011, fully loaded, and has 50,000 miles. The other one is a Chevy traverse. It's a 2013, fully loaded, and has 15,000 miles. I am in love with the traverse but hubby likes the enclave. It will be my car btw! Lol. So which would you choose?…

Can I have too much protein at one time?
I just made a fantastic protein shake for breakfast that has 64g of protein! Is this too much at one time? I thought I read once that your body can only absorb so much protein and the rest is stored as fat? Is this true?

HELP me with this!
Ok, so my goal is to lose fat and build muscle. I am told that I cannot lose fat on a calorie surplus and I can't build muscle on a deficit. So what do I do????? Right now I'm doing P90x3 but next week I will add a lifting program to that workout once my son goes back to preschool. So, what should I do? Add calories or…

I need ladies who went from fat to fit by lifting!
Hey ladies! I'd love to hear your stories if you went from fat to fab by weight lifting. I've been a major yo yo dieter and I want to break the cycle! I'm 43 years old and back in 2011 I went from 196lbs to 126lbs by doing medifast. Of course, once I went off medifast the weight quickly came back. I don't want to survive…

Yes, I did it.
I just ran out to get takeout for the fam and wore sweatpants, snow boots, and (gasp!) a hair scrunchie. ****Hangs head in shame*****
