No Pudge Fudge Brownies
Okay, has anyone tried these? I saw the box in the grocery today and you mix it with low-fat vanilla yogurt. They claim you can also make individual servings instead of the whole mix. Is it any good? Is it comparable to a real brownie? Thanks :flowerforyou:

How do I find out the amount of calories I am burning during strength training? Does anyone else have this problem?

10 Things about Women!!
1. PMS is not a lame excuse to be able to yell at you. It's a great excuse. 2. We really can pump our own gas. It's just that we've got this fantasy of you as a '30s-era full-service station attendant. You'd look so cute in the hat. 3. We're not complimented when you call your ex a slut. She dated you, too. So what are we?…

My son and daughter had a gift certificate for Subway. I took them there to grab them lunch. My daughter wanted chips and milk. She wanted the sun chips. I told her that it was fine.

Very proud of myself!
Today was my final weigh in for the Diet Derby at work. I've been on this site for 8 weeks, and I've lost a total of 11 pounds. I'm so psyched because my goal was 10. I have become a firm believer in this site and how it can help you lose and maintain weight! My next goal is just that...to maintain and maybe lose a few…

So because of Excercise, I have like 700 extra calories to eat, about 1050 left for the day-however, I have only 8 grams of fat left- Does anyone else battle this? Lots of calories left to eat, but not much fat? Or does no one else count fat grams along w/ calories?

Help! Studying makes me want to eat!
So I am taking a pretty intense course for work and the exam is in a couple of weeks. The problem is that when I study (which is most of my free time lately), I feel the need to eat!

Ok, If I drink the recommend daily water amounts and more. I end up making numerous trips to the bathroom all day long. In other words, I pee a lot! My urine at times is almost "clear" in color. My question, is that to be expected? Any health issues I should be aware of?

Midterms...
are killing me! I've been up all night 2 nights in a row with 2 hours of sleep since saturday night. Ridiculous. yesterday i didn't have the energy (much less time) to go to the gym, which I guess it wouldn't have been much of a workout if I was falling asleep and whatnot.

Guess what I saw?
I went for my walk yesterday, without layers of snowgear on. It was the most beautiful day in PA. At one point I actually felt a warm breeze on my face. But, here's the best part. The ground here is still snow covered, except for the hills on the south side. At one hill, I came upon a whole flock of Robins digging for…

Guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
Two Scottish nuns have just arrived in USA by boat and one says to the other, "I hear that the people of this country actually eat dogs."

Now I'm really confused. Any ideas?
I just calculated my BMR, in order to stay alive, basically, I need 1740 calories. So how come I am supposed to eat 1680?? That's only a 60 calorie deficit per day, no wonder I'm not losing!!! Could MFP really be this wrong? I'd rather be wrong, but it doesnt make sense. In order to lose 1 lb/week, I need a deficit of 3500…
