I believe it does take it into account. But I wear a HR monitor when I exercise and plug in those numbers into MFP.

Hi Ladies, Started off really slow this morning. Went out with the hubby and friends last night and had 2 very yummy mojitos and some Mexican food. Hubby and I shared a meal so I am not feeling to bad, but didnt get home until 1 am and was back up at 6...ouch. But nothing a good stiff coffee cant fix....LOL Oslo -- I think…

If you have Microsoft Office, open your pic with MSO Picture Manager, click on Edit Picture above the picture, resize on the menu on the right and click on predefined height x width and click on Web Small and Save then upload again.

I am definitely going to try those tonight! Thanks for the tip :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I just found this recipe looking through the posts. Delicious...you would never know http://blog.yourlighterside.com/2009/05/low-carb-pizza-dough-cauliflower.html

Hi -- I was born and raised in NYC. Welcome back!! What kind of food do you like? There are so many hidden treasures here!! Is there anything in particular you are into? Feel free to friend me :bigsmile:

Hi Ladies, Hope everyone's weekend was good. I had a nice day with my mom...we went to Carrabba's (one of my fav places but very dangerous in the calorie dept) and we shared a Caesar salad and a Margherita pizza. I was feeling good and then we ordered cannolis for dessert. They were oh so good. I wasn't going to workout…

You look amazing. great job and very inspiring to all!!

I agree with zml mom, everyone should have a HRM. the machines at the gym are always off. I bought a Polar FT4 on amazon this week for only $60 and it has been a priceless tool in measuring calories burned this week.

Thanks, Amber...thats what I figured. I just cant see eating 1300 cals for dinner. :bigsmile:

Joanne, I will probably eat about 400-500 for dinner as I am not starving. I am doing the which I think is the latest dvds -- Thin in 30 and I love it. It quick and it really does work you out and you feel it. I burn any where from 250 - 325 cals. I tend to burn more when I am doing the sculpting vs. cardio video. Burn…

Hi Everyone!! Happy to see you all checking in...its great to see and just makes it so much easier to stay on track. Today started with a bang...got up and did 20 minutes of The Firm...Ive bought many exercise tapes....The Firm is by far the best. That is saying a lot from me as I have a VERY small attention span. 20…

Hi Robin, Welcome to MFP. It is a great tool in keeping healthy and a great place for motivation and making new friends -- feel free to add me. Good luck on your journey. --Maritza :bigsmile:

It sounds like a glitch in the watch. Its not communicating from the watch to the strap...you may want to return it. I have a P FT4 too and it works great.

Definitely notice difference! Good job!!!

It depends on your height, weight and at what percentage you are working out at. You should get a heart rate monitor. I just got a Polar FT4 on Amazon for $60.

Good morning everyone, Today is the first day I didn't have breakfast in a long time. Just wasn't in the mood...just had my coffee. My boss brought her dog into work and I jumped at the opportunity to walk her...thought I could get some good brisk walking in. For lunch I brought some yummy pasta salad I made last…

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/edit/2642763 I just made this tonight and am taking it for lunch tomorrow

My hair is short in my pic:bigsmile:

I chopped all my hair off after my wedding...and I have to say it was not only liberating but I got sooooooooooo many compliments. My husband liked me with both long and short. I say go for it!!

Would love to be part of this group! Count me in.

Merlo on Maple in Chicago....THE BEST PASTA I'VE EVER HAD!!! Hand-made green and yellow tagliolini with a veal and Prosciutto di Parma ragout, topped with a hard boiled quail egg and drizzled with white truffle oil :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

On the days that I work out I make a protein shake.
