Many thanks to everyone for the explanations. They were very helpful!

I was just there 2 months ago. Saw "O" for the 2nd time and it is truly a spectacular show not to be missed. There's so much to do but it depends on what you're looking for - shopping, clubs, caberets? We stayed for a week and pretty much covered it all..lol. Where are you staying?

I'm very new to this so I'm still figuring things out. When I entered all my personal information and my goals, MFP calculated that I should be eating 45 gms of protein per day. I've been eating an average of 50-60 so I'm not way off but I was just curious why too much would be bad. I guess as long as I maintain a healthy…

I was just about to comment on the cost of all that food and where she could be getting the money for it. I expected that she was getting funding but I agree that there is something seriously wrong with any government agency that is providng financial assistance to someone to willingly kill themselves. There are so many…

A friend posted pictures of this on Facebook yesterday. I was appalled that this woman would do that to her children. Eight hours of shopping the supermarket?? 24,000 calories a day!! It would take me over 20 days to eat what she eats in a single day. How sad for her and her children. She needs immediate psychiatric help.…

Hi, I just joined on Monday too. Not looking to lose so much weight as I am interested just getting fit and maintaining it. Welcome :-), this place is really great.

I go to a great gym but I always feel self conscious on the weight lifting machines so I avoid them. I don't know why, it's definitely dumb of me. It is a great list and I know it would help me tremendously. I'll ask one of the floor trainers to give me a refresher course on how to use the machines properly and ignore my…

Thank you for the suggestions. I think I can try some of those exercises.

I think you're right but I really have no idea how to zoom in to that area and make it toned.

Isn't it funny how when we were kids, we loved the taste of anything with sugar in it? I recently accidentally used my son's bubblegum flavored toothpaste and I almost gagged at the taste. I guess everything changes as you get a little older, even your taste buds!:tongue:

I find the exercise part a lot easier than the eating part. I'm very committed to working out as it makes me feel invigorated and ultimately, I like the way it makes me look. The food part is harder to manage because I'm always on the go. I guess I should consider myself lucky that for the first 40ish years of my life, I…

Wow!! I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one. I really kept thinking that something was wrong with me..lol. While I'm not a fanatic, I do try to eat well and I avoid sweets and other empty calorie type of foods. That doesn't mean I don't give in to the occasional ice cream cone, especially on really hot days, but I try to…
