Anthony is correct, in moderation you can eat almost anything as part of your daily allowance. Hope that helps!

Add me, I'm active and also need support :D

I'm in too, I could do with more awesome friends of all shapes and sizes!

Great variation on the banana pancake!

If you eat at a deficit and lift, plus cardio, you'll be fine. Just stay focused, keep in mind that slow and steady is the way to go. In my humble opinion if you are under your daily calorie goal and doing regular strength and cardio workouts, you can only win. You'll be losing weight, improving your cardiovascular fitness…

Thank you everyone, for all your awesome replies and the time and effort you put into them! I've decided I might continue to lower my body fat percentage, I've never had it very low and I'd be interested to see what it looks like. I feel like after I reach that, it will be a foundation from which to bulk and then…

I suspected that about the body fat calculator, thanks, will do!

It's totally possible to lose weight by walking. I walk very often, sometimes I walk around 30+ miles a week. If you keep your speed relatively fast, you won't have to walk for ages to obtain a decent calorie burn. Walking up hills or any incline is also pretty good. If you have a heart rate monitor you can see clearly…

HTC Desire - sometimes when starting the app, it shows the splash screen without going any further, this can be resolved by exiting and opening the app again which loads far quicker and defaults to the home screen feed. Nexus 7 - this problem doesn't appear on my Nexus 7

Yes my Wife and I do the KettleWorx DVD's by Ryan Shanahan. They're quick 25min workouts and we mix the cardio with the toning routines for best effect. The video's have little eccentricities like the trainer doing uneven counts when switching from one side to the other, but we adjust that ourselves since counting isn't…

HTC Desire, when I try to search for "chef salad", the app will only search within my recent foods or recipes. It briefly shows some results but then defaults to the recent food tab so I can't add anything. Nexus7, this problem doesn't appear.

Is there nothing that bananas and eggs can't be turned into, great recipe thanks!

A heart rate monitor and a kitchen scale!

Two of my family members told me about it back in April last year, I signed up to the website and downloaded the app. I didn't expect much from it but here I am 35lbs lighter and so much better off for all the things I've learned!

Bump.

I can definitely do that, many thanks for your help I appreciate it! I intend for it to be a treat once in a while :)

Sure thing you can add me if you like, I do tons of fast paced walking, more kettle bell workouts than I should, and I eat clean and basically enjoy getting in shape, looking and feeling better. Good luck with the gym!

Looks good!

Hey Thieka, Way to go for finding MFP! As far as reporting inaccurate nutritional values go, when you are on the website and you search for something, say a coke zero, it shows you a list of possible matches. Click on one of the matches, and some information will show up to the right of the list. Under the name of the item…

I lost 33lbs in 5 months with a combination of kettle bell workouts, fast pace walking, and healthy eating :)

One of the most important things that has helped me is to be able to have an accurate idea of the calories you eat versus the exercise you do. To help with that I bought a heart rate monitor and a kitchen scale. If you can accurately weigh your food instead of guessing portions it helps so much. I was surprised to see what…

I experienced a similar thing, MFP would say my kettle bell workout burned 500 calories for a 25min workout, when in reality my heart rate monitor said it was more like 250-300. The estimated calorie burns on MFP are definitely more of a guide than a number you can reliable work with. I want to stay within my calorie…

I have this app, and you can also just do a very quick walk to it, just turn off the gps function within the program. It's cool!

The appearance of stretch marks on my upper thighs actually triggered me to start getting in shape using MFP. I was depressed at the sight of them, they were the darker ones and I felt like I had been ambushed lol. But a year later, I have lost weight to the point of reaching my ultimate goal weight, and those stretch…

You can do it, whatever you do don't lose your momentum. Just carry on working out and eating healthy. Even if you don't lose weight immediately odds are you will still be getting stronger and healthier. We've all had low energy days when it seems so challenging to get up and exercise. Sometimes it's okay to rest that day.…

Congrats! You look great, and that heart rate monitor is very cool, my wife has one just like it (I have the orange dude's one). Keep up the amazing work, I also hit my ultimate goal weight, then realized I wanted better muscle tone so it's handy to have another goal to work towards!

You'll find a balance soon enough, this is why it's so important to log your food and exercise, that way you can have a look at it and hopefully see a pattern that will help you reach your calorie goal. I never thought MFP would be such a source of education, but I have learned so much, and I'm still learning. Good luck!

Funny story! Some people here are so incredibly specific with who they want as MFP friends, it's amazing to see sometimes. I'm totally happy with my friends here, I believe strongly that their diversity helps. It's like that lyric "if everybody looked the same we'd be tired of looking at each other". Good luck dude!
