Welcome - nope nothing at all wrong with going over if you are using the standard MFP set up. Myfitnesspal has that number set pretty low. Way too low for me so I customized it to be pretty high and have the fat & carbs go low. That way I am more aware of the things I don't want to eat too much of.

I will still do the work out when I'm sick. Maybe not as hard, or as much, or as heavy. I push through. Everyone is different, every approach to sickness & health issues are too. Do what you feel.... I took 2 days off for a surgery in August. The doctor knew I wasn't going to quit or rest up so he just gave me a list of…

We can CERTAINLY live without Sex just not well.. what will happen is we get so *****y & mean & grouchy someone usually shoots us. So YES lack of SEX is DEADLY to all... so give it up give it up give it up!! I need sum!!

Ahh the magic number question... I never give the right answer to this one. My reply is always the same: "Far less than have ever had me." A guy who is going to ask that question is probably a little more serious than I would want to be and I'd be sure to go to the restroom & duck out a window or something. I once kicked a…

I'm skinny!!! I don't think so but I was called "Skinny *kitten*" this weekend by my MOM and "Skinny Minnie" by a co-worker yesterday. I don't want to be skinny - I want to be strong!! I'm working on it but I still have too much jiggle in my wiggle. I flash my bicepts at people who call me skinny... that ain't skinny..…

OHhhhhhhhh Yeaaaaaaaaah I'm witcha!!!

No preference though right now.. I hate the Treadmill. When the body adapts to one - its time to switch it up and punch it up on the other. So as I scale the treadmill UP and the elliptical DOWN... 5 weeks from now I will hate the Elliptical when I change it around. I do like that if I need to run I can do that ANYwhere!!…

I have 3 criteria for dating a guy... 1) Must have a JOB.. cuz I ain't supporting his *kitten* no matter how hot he is 2) Must wear a condom without turning into a whiney baby because that's so NOT attractive 3) Must have a Sense of Humor because all I do is GOOF off :o) I will embarrass you in public just to see you lose…

Men don't hit on me... I'm kinda scary in general: Unless that guy at the gym on weekend afternoons who won't stop talking about himself and his weight gain while I'm trying to do cardio counts.

Honestly? I have to share food in my house so I buy the Nature Valley PROTEIN selection. I like them, my kid likes them, he works out between classes. I'm not spending much on them because he will eat 2 boxes a week. I'm not a looking to build a whole lot of muscle usually it is just my morning snack after my working out…

Same way I eat at every function. Attempt self control and try a little of everything. I have a 2 hour work out that morning as well as a 2 hour on Friday (mostly running) so I don't have to think OMG I porked out.. I think Oh wow.. I FUELED up! I've been doing it so long this way it's not a big deal. I have bad days:…

A girlfriend just completed training & running her first 5K and she heard I was interested in running one next August and recommended a phone app Couch to 5K - Get Running - the reviews are good I haven't tried it yet. I'm a procrastinator. That's why I gave myself a long time to train. :o)

My very favorite old boyfriend comment: No matter how HOT & Cool, Awesome, Sweet & Funny she is.. Some dude is sick of putting up with her CRAP!

Not having to act like I'm listening to whatever it is that happened at work that totally ruined his day as he slowly ruins my will to live. A man-ho at work liked to brag that he had TWO girlfriends and was having trouble getting enough rest and blah blah blah and I just told him: "Jeeze dude, I don't know how you do it!"…

LMAO -- People that honk inappropriately or ever. Once when it happened I shut my car off at a light, put the hood up and acted like it stalled. Coworker was few cars back he came running up asking what was wrong with my car I told him: "Nothing, *kitten* honked at me - he thought he was in a hurry before.. now he's…

My doctor brought up my weight one year ago and I wasn't happy with my weight so I asked what he thought I should do. He wanted me to see a Nutritionist and a Dietitian. I was like fine but the more I got to thinking about it I really wasn't interested in seeing them. I had to go back in December for taking a tumble down…

Weight doesn't matter. Size doesn't matter. Loose skin doesn't matter. If you are unhappy with you - it pours off of you - it surrounds you and sounds like you let it. Work on being happy with YOU. If that's working out, great. If that's painting massive artwork or being a mime, awesome too. Lose yourself in what makes you…

Oh yeah!! That too!! There's a bakery counter at a place I like to get lunch on Fridays and I love to just go look. When the counter guy asks to help me I explain that I'm eating healthy and I just want to window consume! It's like the going to the strip club seeing all the action but not spending any money...

It only matters to me in one case. If someone wants my advice and their diary is closed I pretty much can't offer any helpful suggestions. I'm an impatient person so it annoys me that people waste my time in this manner. I really don't care if anyone looks at my diary on a day I've done fantastic or on a day I've scarfed…

Thank you!! Reading all these reviews I actually feel completely relieved. All this time I thought the Twilight Trilogy was the worst text I ever forced upon my brain for the sake of knowing W T F everyone was going on and on about, but it appears I am wrong. But now I can look myself in the mirror and give a small smile…

Belly Cardio - I think of it as you can swing your arms and legs and the range of motion is greater as to how you can work harder, get stronger, but cardio for the belly is not so easy to come by. Strength training is a must too, but I try to switch them back and forth to burn the most fat. Interval training is a big fat…

Nothing is more accessible than Commando :love: ~ Patience may be a virtue but it isn't *my* virtue :laugh:

One of these 3 things.. it's hard to decide!! 1) A tattoo 2) A skimpy bikini & a trip to the coast 3) A Gigolo (Laffing) A coworker asked me this question and my reply was "Nothing I'd think you'd want to know or care to discuss with me." He didn't know how to take that.

TOTALLY!!! Agree there - the body goes but the brain is gonna feed me for a long long time.. Yep I am a Zombie girl eat me up some genius

Happee Halloween to you too!!! Nice to read positive ~ to continue the gaseous niceties May you never pass loud noticeable gas during a work out!!!

Nope - Not that I know of.. Most of the time I'm not even looking out of my eyes - I'm looking inside during my workouts. Either planning my next move to a machine, how hard to push on the next set of reps, how long I will last at the next level of cardio, thinking about how good/bad the work out I am doing is fitting in…

Some people wouldn't know positive and polite if it came up, put them in a sleeper hold & when they were out peed in their cheerios. People complain here.. there.. other places they are just part of the hoard of wildebeasties snorting and grunting. I call it the "Daily Gotta Rag" posts & I try to avoid them. I don't have…

Damn.. I was hoping Jerky Comments was secret MFP language for Jerky Recipes (laffing)

Yep!! Everyone says Oh you look good, what's your secret? No one wants to hear "I eat right & exercise" they want a pill or secret, a doctor Oz miracle cure. If that quack came out with cat urine pills & said it would make your metabolism burn more fat, they'd sell out. Yack - shortcuts are a bandaid not a cure.

Oh... I'm a pumpkin addict I have got to try this one!! Here's a great one.. I made pumpkin butter from skinnytaste.com & I've taken to mixing it in with my vanilla protein smoothies and it's to DIE for!! I love it!! It's not as sweet as some pumpkin butter so if you think about it, add in some Splenda or Truvia for your…
