Okay, so you know you're a MFPer when you are eating healthier and are exercising more, but what are some of the other clues that you are definitely a MFPer?

The one I just noticed today is that I have TAN LINES from my HRM! I never wore watches, nor did I spend much time outside in the summer time (too hot), but now I am sporting tan lines...from my HRM...

What silly or serious things have you guys found yourselves doing that makes you KNOW you're a MFPer?

    Not only do I have tan lines around my HRM but I also have the "biker's spot" on the back of both hands from my biking gloves!

    there's an empty space on the sofa where I used to be, and instead I'm in the office chair logging food and exercise and checking the MFP topics!

    When my cousin started asking me how many calories I thought was in certain foods... like a rice krispie treat at a family party ... She gives me this "How many are in there" (a serious question) and honestly expected me to know off the top of my head. Funny part - I did! :laugh:

    I know I'm a MFP'er because of the calluses on my hands from the gym! (cardio machines and weights!) I FINALLY bought fingerless gloves today! They look bada$$! :glasses:

    Oh, also...I went to a baby shower brunch today..and I had ONE plate....mostly with veggies, fruit and I watched my portions on everything. And when it came time for the Carvel cake..........I ate the chocolate crunchies out of the middle...and left the rest!!! :laugh: (Hey, it's the best part and I wanted the calories eaten to be worth it!!)

    Heart Rate Monitor. . .

    and on that note, you know you're an MFPer when you walk to the gym, realize you forgot to put it on and go back home to get it.

    You wear the actual heart rate monitor on your chest, right below your bra and under your clothes...and then the information is transmitted to the wristwatch component of it...it tells you what your heart rate is, your target zone, and how many calories you are burning. Definitely a worthwhile investment!
