hey hey....nobody's forcing you.....you know you want it. lol.

One other thing you breastfeeding moms need to remember is to eat your breastfeeding calories!!! It's really hard to determine how much you are burning by feeding your baby so just make sure you're not undercalculating......... I had baby #2 in September and I've been doing MFP ever since and I'm happy to report after…

I agree with Viviakay......it was very rude, but you shouldn't let it get you down. I think you should talk to your husband about it too. My husband says the same thing "You've had my kids, I love you anyway." Which is nice to know that they love you as a person, not a piece of meat......however, after I had kids my…

Most water bottles now have best before dates on them somewhere....my understanding is you have until the due date before chemicals start leaking into the water. My rule of thumb is I re-use my plastic water bottles until the due date and then I recycle them and buy new ones. Usually every 2-3 months.

you add your extra 600 calories ON TOP of the 1200. If you're burning 600 you need to be eating minimum 1800 calories every day.....you're gaining weight back because your body thinks it's starving and it's hanging on to everything it can........I stick to my BMR. Even if I don't work out and don't do anything else but sit…

eat half a protein bar on your way to the gym, or on your way downstairs to the treadmill (as in my case.lol.)......and you don't have to wait an hour, it's not like swimming. The risk with eating/swimming is if you get a cramp you drown. When you're at the gym and get a cramp you simply stop what you're doing.

How many Chips are in a 1oz Serving? 20 chips How large is a serving of meat? A serving of meat is about the size of...... A deck of cards What is the size of a computer mouse? Potato What size is a serving of pasta? About the size of..... A softball How much is one serving of cereal? One Half of a Cup

Actually I think it was updated (and nobody seems to know about it) to be based on your body weight. Each person should drink half their body weight in ounces. IE: a 160 lb person should drink 80 oz of water per day (or 10 8 oz glasses) a 200 lb person should drink 100 oz (or 12.5 8 oz glasses) and a 120 lb person should…

I don't know how many of you know this but Old Fashioned Rolled Oats or Steel Cut oats are way better for you...(I'm not sure why, but many of the nutrition books I've read say that you should choose them over the quick oats) It takes a little longer to cook but I think there are many more benefits. Anyway....the Old…

I totally had the same problem on my birthday last Monday.....I knew I was going to indulge on my birthday (and figured what the heck) but then that night I was so sick. I didn't even eat that bad, I had dinner at my mom's house and the only thing I had that was not part of a homemade meal was my ice cream birthday cake! I…

It seems like it's just been one thing after the other happening, and even though they've been fairly minor things they are still bringing me down.......My hubby and I have been irritated with each other lately and saying mean things to each other. I've been easily angered and irritated with everything, which isn't like…

Try to make all of your morning meals/snacks full of protein....it will help you feel fuller/not so hungry and hopefully prevent extra snacking!!

I make a homemade protein bar that actually tastes pretty good. The recipe calls for bananas which I'm not a huge fan of but the peanut butter makes it better. I use a soy protein mix that has about 24 added vitamins and minerals so it's probably pretty close to the same idea. Anyway, here's the recipe: HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE…

It's fat in general, however you can customize for saturated if you want. Go to settings up on the tool bar under My Home and you can have 3 items tracked so instead of Fat in general you can choose carbs, protein and saturated fat......hope this helps.

If you're jogging then watch what your heart rate is doing.....cardio activity burns sugar...not fat. It uses your immediate sugar stores (ie whatever you had for breakfast) and burns it to maintain your strenuous activity. So depending on how fast you are walking or jogging (determined by your heart rate) will either give…

I blew it....but I was fully aware when I woke up this morning that I was going to blow it.....therefore I did not feel guilty. And tomorow I'll wake up and get right back on track. What's the point of having a cheat day if you're going to feel guilty about it? I enjoyed today and look forward to the next time I will allow…

Hey....this is what my whole day looked like....... 8.00 Chicken - Breast, meat only, raw, 0.5 breast, bone and skin removed Grapefruit - Raw, pink and red, California and Arizona, 0.5 fruit (3-3/4" dia) 10.30 No Name - Old Fashioned Rolled Oats, 1/2 cup Spices - Cinnamon, ground, 0.25 tsp Sugars - Brown, 2 tsp packed…

Hello! You're on the right track! This is a sample of what my day looks like and I'm actually on a higher protein diet so this might be a little excessive if you're on an average protein intake. Might look and sound weird but it works for me and I've lost 20 lbs since November...... 8.00 Chicken - Breast, meat only, raw,…

start running?.....lol...sorry, that's my attempt at a joke:wink:

I looked up your BMR...it's 1426 cal/day. This is what your body burns if you were to lie in bed all day. So take that number and multiply it by the appropriate equation below and then subtract 500. (the equivalent of 1lb/week) This would be the amount of calories required for your body to lose weight. E.G. If you are…

haha...great minds think alike. I had baked chicken breast with 1c. of peas and spinach salad with raspberry vinaigrette!

Welcome...I was just wishing this morning that it was spring. However this last week has been -25 with a windchill on top of that.:sad:

this one tickles my funny bone!!:laugh: :sad: :laugh:

I'm not a doctor so don't quote me on this but do you think it's your body getting rid of the excess salt that you have accumulated through years of poor eating? (kinda like your sweat is salty)? Just a thought.......

Seriously? Nobody even mentioned chocolate!!!!! 100% gimme chocolate.

Hey...I don't know what gym you go to but I go to the Family "Y" and I would say that there are more 'average' sized people than the 'super skinny'. Maybe you should switch your gym? I mean if you feel that uncomfortable(which you shouldn't) you pay the same amount of money as they do and you should take just as much…

I cycle my calories and it's good for keeping your body guessing.....I cycle 1400+ calories 3 days straight and then bump it up to 1800+ (I add the + because I'm not a stickler and quite often go as much as 100 calories over) I have lost 21 lbs since mid November....I also work out 5 days a week. It works...

you do know that people are dying in third world countries because they don't get enough food right? People DO DIE from not getting enough calories. Now at what point do you think your body starts to say 'I'm not getting enough'? I think for everyone it is different, but it doesn't happen over night....it happens over…

Thankyou....I always maintain that you should find out what your BMR is and never go below that regardless of what any 'diet plan' says you should be eating for calories. I love this site bcause it lets me calculate everything....however I struggle with the fact that it tells alot of people to only consume 1200-1300…
