I don't know about a nice spread out day, but on my ultimate cheat day (aka, how I used to eat) I would have: BK for lunch: Big King Whopper with cheese Tender Crisp Dinner: I don't know, some Mac & Cheese I guess Snack(!): MMMM, Queso with chips!!! I think that is about 5000 cals together, especially if you add something…

See this topic: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/689201-i-need-nike-running-friends I am now drowning in friends who all seem to be so much more active than me. I need to run tonight to keep myself on my leaderboard! Add me: divinenanny

I miss Chili con Queso with tortilla chips. I'm not never having it ever again, but the version I like and used to eat is about 2500 cals. Portion control is needed, but who is going to eat one tablespoon of queso and four chips? So, until I move up to maintenance and more running, I won't tempt myself. Because I know I…

Just try it. I love it (another addict here) but my hubby and my family all hate it. Ha, more for me! Yes, it can be quite calorific, but if you buy the good stuff (or make it yourself, it is quite easy) the fat is from natural oils so it can be healthy too. I eat it with cucumbers (dip) if I need to watch my calories or…

Hey, I'd love to be your friend, I've added you on Garmin :D ETA, I'm divinenanny on Garmin Connect and love any and all connections :D

Me! Divinenanny, please add me!

Please add me too, divinenanny

You can input the data on other websites that sync back to MFP (check the Apps tab for compatible sites). I don't think the watch itself syncs with anything without the Polar Flowlink accessory (buy separately). I have an FT40 and always put in my heart rate and cals manually on sites like Runkeeper (cals and heart) or MFP…

I have no idea if they are adjusted for anything (history, weight, sex, height), but I do know that they run terribly high for me. Up to twice as much as my HRM says I am burning. As far as accuracy goes, for me it is HRM - Cardio Machine - Runkeeper - MFP. The HRM almost always has the lower numbers, and I choose to stick…

A HRM is much more accurate, I find, than both MFP and machines.

Calories consumed - Calories used while excersising = Net calories

Because it is something in which I am competing against myself. I'm doing 5K runner (C25K like program) and every time I am sure that this is the day I can't do it, and then I spend the running time convincing myself to just go one more minute, one more song, one more half-minute. And it feels like such an accomplishment…

Not only did I manage to stop drinking Pepsi Max (from about 1 liter a day) nearly cold turkey (I finished my stash 1 glass a day at dinner, after that only when eating out 1 glass of Diet Coke/Pepsi, Coke Zero or Pepsi Max). But I find the stuff disgusting now. So stick with it, and in six months you might not even like…

Livestrong says 6.8 grams for a cup. So yeah, there is sugar, but not that much. According to Livestrong: http://www.livestrong.com/article/436956-carbohydrates-and-fiber-in-onions/

Be honest with yourself About your goals, your feelings, your food, your reasons, your exercise, about everything

How about this brilliant thought after a diet (Dr. Frank, which is low-carb). "See how easy it comes off? I can keep eating whatever I want, because if I just stop and eat regular the weight will come flying off. So for now, BK/KFC/McD here I come! And a bowl of queso with chips for desert!" And of course: "I am…

Height: 5'7" Age/Gender: 29/Female Highest Weight: 248 pounds Current Weight: 179 pounds Lowest Weight: 160 pounds Goal Weight: 145 pounds I don't remember ever weighing 145 (except as a child, when I grew past it). When I weighed 160 I had just met my husband and was living on love I guess ;).

I'm doing week 2 day 1 tomorrow, and already feel improvement :D

I don't agree with the dog picture, but for me, food as a reward is the downhill slope that led me here. At first it was a reward for a job well done. Then it was also a treat after a bad day. Then it was a way to relax after getting worked up over something. In the end, I found excuses everyday to eat bad (yeah, bad. Fast…

Bell peppers (any color). Any other pepper is fine (I love spicy food) and so is bell paper as a herb (paprika powder). I don't care for tofu, beans and soups.

Mine has about the same number (fat burning ends around 115 and I am constantly up in the 150s during exercise). But like others have said, a calorie is a calorie, and I use it for information, not for specific training (yet). I know I am terribly out of shape, so I figured it isn't a bad thing to get fit too. Also, I walk…

Wrap it in something thight? Like a form fitting tanktop (don't know if this is the right word for a male tanktop) tucked into your trousers? And then a T-shirt over it?

For me it would be a yellow curry with green vegetables and chicken, with basmati rice. Mmmmm. I can't help but it eat it once or twice (left overs) a week...

We were together 6.5 years before he proposed, but we started planning our wedding about a year into the relationship I would say. And we moved in together after about two months of dating :D

I enter all ingredients separately for a meal. However, I eat the same thing very often, so I copy from a previous date to today. When I freeze meals (usually a portion of what I had) I put the date on the container, so I know which MFP day to copy. I don't use recipes because then I can't see what each ingredient does for…

For me, a life without fast food is not doable. I am proud that I went from a 4 time a week habit to a once a month habit, but sometimes there is no alternative. I check my calorie allowance and just pic what I like and what fits.

I don't like change, and I love fast food. My meals for each restaurant were: McDonalds: - Big Mac - Chicken Sensation (McChicken but with honey mustard, tomatoes, lettuce and red onion) - Honey Mustard Chicken wrap - Medium fries - Two mayo sauce Burger King: - Whopper with cheese - Big King (XXL) - Crispy Chicken KFC: -…

Runkeeper is a good iPhone app. It can be used to not only track runs, but also walking (and bicycling and other activities). I use that to find out my speed and distance.

I was in Houston as an exchange student (I'm Dutch). We had English, and had a project or something that placed us in the computer room. All of a sudden the principal came on the speakers, telling us not to panic and that he and the team were monitoring the situation. We had no idea what he was talking about, so we all…
