The ring is picking up the workouts. In a weird way - it says something like - 12-12:20 Active, 12:22-12:41 - Active... It's really odd. But it sends the heart rate to Google Fit. With Google Fit, before I start the workout, I tell it to track workout, and then stop at the end. So it looks at heart rate from start to…

"Like, when people get exercise by biking to work, or by painting their baby’s room, or by stacking canned foods for the homeless, that labor produces some good! And we always need more of it! Labor spent lifting weights for the individual’s health is also good, but the same could be accomplished if we directed that human…

He alternates - for women, it's 1200 on low carb days, and 1500 on high carb days. He has four different plans but most use the guilt free 'cheat' day for no more than a 1000 extra calories.

<passing popcorn> Anybody got the Raisinets?

Mine had some cracked plastic around the top, and I emailed about it. It was almost a year old, but once I sent my receipt, I got a new one.

No advice here, but just received my dvds this weekend. I haven't started yet, but plan to jump into it tonight.:)

I used Cinnamon Altoids. You still get the 'burn' of a cigarette, so it helps. In fact, I still use them when I am particularly stressed. I've been smoke free since Jan 29, 2008.

I agree with this. Especially since you changed your routine recently.

Love that one!

Shane Falco: I wish I could say something classy and inspirational, but that just wouldn't be our style. [pause while everybody is in the huddle] Shane Falco: Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory... lasts forever. (The Replacements) Frodo: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened. Gandalf: So…

I second that Yup.

I've lived alone for a while now. George Foreman's small grill can be your very best friend. I've found that grilling a piece of protein, and throwing some veggies on the plate is the healthiest, and not too expensive way to eat. Definitely better than canned soup and frozen meals! You can also cook in family size recipes,…

This. Most definitely this.

It's all about perception and intention. If you intended it to be an insult, it is. If you meant it to be a compliment, it is. The problem is the other side of the equation - perception. You may have intended it to be a compliment, but the receiver took it as an insult. I would never feel insulted by being called skinny. :)

The fitbit is giving you total calories burned today. It includes the calories that you burn just to be alive, in addition to any exercise. When it comes over to MFP, if you synced it, it would only give you the 'extra' calories that you burned in the day. For example, just to exist, I might need 1200 calories. My…

I've taken regular, and yoga specifically for those who are overweight. The latter is a class called Curvy Yoga. She has trained some instructors, but I'm not sure how widespread the program is. Check her out at www.curvyyoga.com

There was a lengthy thread on it last week: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/658084-has-anyone-tried-ddp-yoga?hl=ddp&page=1#posts-9844129 There's also a member, olemanjake, that is pretty devoted to DDP yoga. I have been considering giving it a shot myself.

I'm trying to remember when I ever paid attention to the person on the treadmill next to me, unless they were making weird noises or singing out loud. (it's happened, and THAT"s weird) As for the theatre, personally I like to sit in a particular place in a theatre, both row and section. And other than sitting right next to…

I must have this game! Off to Amazon I go!

I have a bulimic kitty too. Every day, she purges. Blech.

Topamax messed with my sense of taste so it was easier to avoid snacking. When I quit taking the drug, my taste came back & I remembered why I enjoyed snacking. And diet Mountain Dew. :-/

I hate it. The only thing that I ever really didn't hate was the treadmill. I could read, listen to audiobook, whatever while walking up a really good incline. Unfortunately, I have messed up my feet with the treadmill. So I'm in other stuff, and hate all of it. But I do like the fact that I can take a couple of flights of…

I like you. :flowerforyou:

Where you're at, maybe it's all about athletic ability but where I come from - it was all popularity. And the pageants for scholarships are not completely based on looks. To get to Miss USA, for example, you have to get through your state, for which you have to get through other pageants. Anyway, none of the contestants…

Maybe it's the way you phrase your advice? Not having read your posts other than this one, I wouldn't know. I'm going to assume this post sounds the way it does because it's a rant. And some of the items - I agree. But not all of them. The 1200 calories? According to charts, I'm morbidly obese. When I put my goals in MFP,…
