I totally concur with it being an excuse. I can recognize one easily 'cause I was one who made them ... a lot. It's why after years and years of being obese and yo-yo dieting; I've finally been making it happen - for REAL. I'm on my 114th day of log-in, down 40 lbs, and don't give one single damn what anyone says. The…

My fav. is Pure Protein. They're cheaper than most brands, fewer calories, and actually have more protein than carbs. For example, a Pure Protein peanut butter bar has 200 calories, 20 protein, and 16 carbs, 2 sugars. The Clif peanut butter bar has 270 cals, 20 protein, but 30 carbs, and 20 sugars. I'm sorry but, to me, a…

I think you look great in both photos but I can see the difference. I think taking photos every so often, especially when you first start, is always so motivational. So many times we think oh it's taking forever to lose 10 lbs or oh, I'm not seeing a difference or oh, no one is noticing my loss, and a million other…

Have you been tested for PCOS? From my experience, it's odd to have IR w/o PCOS, especially if you have other endocrine issues such as thyroid problems, too. They all seem to go together quite frequently. IR alone is basically pre-diabetes and typically acts independently w/o other symptoms/issues. If you do have PCOS,…

A lot of folks have mentioned the Y. I think that's a great place to start. The rates are reasonable so you don't spend a lot of money while you're figuring out what you like, don't like (i.e. swimming, weight-lifting, treadmills, elliptical, etc.). Then, once you've tried it all out and figure out what you like best and…

I can't read through 6 pages of discussion here but, from the ones I have read - I really don't see why this is so taboo to some. Well, I guess because society as a whole considers the speaking of death as something to be avoided. I worked in hospice care for 2 years and my FIL is currently on hospice and I can't tell you…

I love it too. If you want to get your feet wet with it; try going to Trader Joe's and buying their Kale and Spinach Yogurt Dip. SO good! It's 35 calories per serving so not terrible for a diet as long as you don't eat the whole container which, I'm sad to say, I could actually do, lol.

Add stevia and some fruit. I put a little granola in mine on occasion too if I have extra calories to spare.

My thoughts exactly. Well, I also thought, "papel para mi cuello" too, :laugh:
-
I think people need to mind their own business, lol. I mean, what issue is it of their's if someone wants to log that they vacuumed for 15 minutes? I personally don't usually log chores unless I'm spring cleaning or going above and beyond my normal and even then only if I work up a sweat and get out of breath, which…

OK, glad it's not just me, lol. I'm going to try and start going in the a.m. anyway because it's all lap swimming during the a.m. hours so I don't have to deal with kids and families diving and goofing off and can really swim rather than having to fight for a lane and deal with people like her. But, I don't know how well…

^^ This. :laugh: As soon as I saw the topic I was going to jump in and say the exact same thing.

You conveniently left out the rest of my post in the quote...I plainly agreed with most everything you've pointed out and said that it's likely a complete non-issue for the low carb dieter unless they're doing nothing but eating slab after slab of fatty beef and, especially if they're cutting calories too; it would be…

Yes, there are side effects of too much protein... Weight gain: excess protein could be stored as excess fat. Stomach upset: most likely constipation but it could swing the other way with diarrhea or gas/bloating. Dehydration Seizures: there's been some linkage to seizures and high protein consumption but it's usually been…

Well, not anymore =( But, I was born and raised there. I moved to Suckramento, CA 5 years ago this month and miss St.L every day!!

I just bought a waterproof iPod shuffle and waterproof headphones from underwater audio. It's $175 on their website but I found mine on Amazon on a Father's Day sale for $140 and got an extra set of waterproof headphones for free. It just got delivered the other day and I haven't had a chance to try it out yet but it got…

I always have to laugh when people say they quit diet soda and now they only drink Crystal light or other similar drinks. It's completely pointless to give up one and go to the other because they contain nearly the same ingredients; namely a crap load of chemical sweeteners and acids and other unpronounceable things that…
-
I actually don't agree with it either. I said it more to cover the general bases for the OP of the all the reasons people would give as to why they eat way more than their MFP goals and help answer her question. Like I said further down in that same post, I personally don't follow that logic; sure, if I have a killer work…

I'm quickly becoming a swim addict. I think another week or so and I might sprout fins, lol. I'm getting to where I go 4 or 5 times a week for 30 - 90 minutes just depending on how crowded the pool is and how many lap swims lanes are open. My waterproofed iPod shuffle just came today; can't wait to try it out tomorrow.

You're likely hearing them talk about the eating back your calories aspect of MFP. It's a very, very common question that gets discussed many times a day around here. Basically; if you set your goals at 1200 cals a day and then burn off 800 in exercise, you're supposed to eat back your work out calories to fuel that work…

I'd heard a lot about Chiral Balance DCI. I was going to ask my doctor about it because, even with Met and Spiro my hormones were still really off but, before I even got the chance, she recommended it to me. It's been fantastic! Kind of expensive but check out the reviews and the website and give it a try; they usually…

I like hair. Nothing wrong with a little grass on the playground.

It's voilà and it's French. People hear it and know what it means but have no clue how to spell it or the origin of it. Don't get me started on grammatical / linguistic pet peeves and ignorance, lol. I might "loose" my mind. <face palm>

I have no idea how to cook it but when I visited Australia last year I did eat some. It wasn't too bad actually. It's not something I'd want to eat all the time; I still prefer chicken and fish to anything else but if it was more available in the US I think I'd have it on occasion just for a little variety.

Seriously, don't discount old/young guys. Sure, there are stereotypes that go along with May/December romances but they can be very good relationships. They're not always the "wrong" guy simply because they're older or younger. My DH is 20 years older than I. I can't even begin to describe what an amazing…

Thumbs up for the recipe tab. Just add your ingredients and it does all the work for you!

I use to be very self conscious so I joined a gym but it was a very small, women only gym that was 24 hours so I could go at crazy off hours and be there alone. I quickly figured out that I was paying money to do the same thing I could do at home because, since they were so small, they didn't have a lot of equipment. I…

No storms here and gorgeous weather. Sorry you didn't get the same. It's actually kind of odd for us to be only in the low 70s; usually by now we're well into the 90s. I usually avoid holidays too because a lot of the local riding spots get very crowded; man, I can't even imagine what the Parkway and the Gap look like over…

You can also add your own exercises to the MFP database so, if you find a calorie tracker that shows what you feel is a more accurate burn, then just add it to your database and use it instead of what MFP has; that way, you can have an accurate exercise count integrated with your food logging.
