I've added a little vanilla extract and a no calorie sweetener (splenda) and it tastes pretty good! I like it just plain too..

Peanut Butter Co- Cinnamon Raisin Swirl this stuff is legit crack

oh man... people can be so inconsiderate sometimes.. I have a couple stories! 1. I worked at a coffee house during high school/college. After coming back from school for summer break, one of the regulars told me " boy you really gained the freshmen 15 huh?" That sucked... 2. When I was younger, I remember going into the…

mikey- drama??

I am not here for weight loss per say, just for healthy living and trying to look good. thanks for your advice!

Yea, I was running a lot, training for a half marathon and got down to my lowest at 113 at 5'3'' which is technically not that bad for someone 5'3'' but obviously it wasn't healthy for me since I stopped functioning properly. I didn't loose a lot of weight at once, I just upped my workouts without really supplementing what…

well at first gaining weight was okay because I had amenorrhea ( sorry if thats TMI) so my DR. said that gaining 3-5 lbs to have my body function properly again. That being said, I guess I'm wondering if it's a mixture of gaining muscle and my body getting back to healthy? I know I am a messed up case here.

yum!

I have logged for 322 days!! Some of those days I was on vacation. Being on vacation logging strawberry daiquiris= debbie downer. If I'm eating anywhere else besides home or the foods that I know how to find on MFP I go into panic mode. It got to the point where my boyfriend mentioned that I never want to go out to eat. I…

Thanks for all your input guys! So when I say "normal" I guess I'm referring to eating based on your body's needs/signals, not based on logging, which is what I have been doing. My dietician recommended these books "Rules of normal eating" and "Intuitive eating" which were really eye opening. I got to the point where I…

Did you put in your Height and Weight?? I got my HRM in September and since then I've been doing body pump and put on about 3-4 lbs that I *think* is muscle. Then my dietician told me to make sure I keep my HRM updated with my new weight, now I burn slightly more calories then I did before, so making sure your info is…

Thanks guys, I can get rid of the guilty feelings that I can get eating the sweets EVEN THOUGH I work hard at the gym!!

I know the sugars/fat/carbs are not helping my goal of getting abs, but I was hoping I can work it off at the gym

Walmart might have one, but you want to make sure you get a good one. A Polar HRM is reliable and you can order one online. You want to get one that has a chest strap, that is important!! The exercise machines aren't reliable since they are not factoring in your heart rate, even the ones that have the sensors for your…

where do you get your numbers for calories burned? They seem high- do you have a HRM? I think you'd be surprised at how much MFP and exercise equipment over exaggerate calories burned from the actual amount you would see if you wore an HRM. And it's been said before- I probably wouldn't log stairs, cleaning or walking.…

- Baby carrots - Egg whites - Broccoli - Diced red onion and green pepper :) ( they are my most used food on MFP as well)

I rely on my HRM to tell me calories burned. When I look at the machines, its always higher, and MFP always gave me a higher number as well. I know everyone is different but I notice people burning way more calories than me when doing the same exercises. For example, I run for an hour, getting my heart rate up to 80% of…

I went 10 months without it- spoke with my Dr. and it finally came back once I upped my body fat %!

I didn't know pandora had a workout station!! I am so trying that... I listen to Girl Talk. It is awesome :) It is a mix of all hip hop, oldies, pop and rock songs that you can think of and you never get sick of it.. Check it out http://www.myspace.com/girltalk Best part is that you go to their website and download it for…

I love so many of the foods listed here! Mushrooms, sushi (veggies only please), asparagus, avocado, yummmmm. My foods that I am too afraid to eat are; Fish- the texture grosses me out even though I know its good for you. Tofu- same deal with the texture On the other hand, the foods I'm scared to go near because I have no…

you're in the bathroom

Age 25 5' 3'' CW: 112 Trying to build muscle and maintain. (or gain if it means I'll be more toned!)

mustard has 0 cals, try dipping something in mustard like celery, cucumber or carrots! Thats what I do!

Alright heavy weights will start tomorrow when I do arms! Thanks for the advice- I certainly need it.

as you can see I'm very new to the weights but I don't want to spend money on a personal trainer!

I don't really lift too heavy I guess. I remember hearing that the last couple of reps should be really hard so that's what I shoot for if that makes sense? If I do heavy weights should I do less reps?

I honestly think you'll be fine! If you have ran 13 miles in the past month, and have continued to run during the week including 11 miles last saturday, you'll be fine. I say up one of your long runs over the weekend if it will make you feel better, and just do what you can according to the Hal Higdon schedule- I think…

Well, I've only started my weight routine about 4 weeks ago. I have only upped the weight in a few machines like leg press/ bicep curl. I am hoping to LOWER the weight on the assisted chin up machine soon. How often do you up your weight?
