my kids eat what I eat. ETA: my kids do get a say in what we eat sometime. For example, my 4-year old loves "long noodles" (spaghetti) and we eat it at least once a week - made with 97% fat free ground turkey, and whole wheat pasta. It really isn't that bad of a meal, assuming you watch your portion sizes. My 12 year old…

your calorie burn is based on body weight, effort, speed, etc. I can walk a 4 MPH mile and only burn about 50-60 calories. MFP can guess because it has all of your info. Before I started running, I did exercise videos on netflix, walked, did wii fit, and went to zumba class 1-2 times a week. GL

Nice!! Hope the knee situation gets figured out!

definitely. I don't care for the bad boy look anymore. Tattoos are no longer an automatic turn on. Not everyone can pull off that look, some of them just tend to look trashy. And, I have noticed that I check out older guys WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more than younger now. It's pretty odd.

I found a guy on the MFP forums in Feb of 2011, and we became online friends. We met IRL in March of 2011, and have been dating ever since! Just celebrated our 1 year anniversary 2 weeks ago :heart:

I had never ran more than 3.5 miles when I ran my 10k (more will follow!!). My BF and I ran together. When I hit that 4 mile marker, that was the farthest I had ever ran, I wanted to cry. I kept going. I / we walked less than about 2 minutes of the entire thing. I have never been more proud of myself, EVER than I was after…

I usually have Mexican on my cheat day. Last time I had an 8 oz strip - it was amazing and pretty low fat / cal, though the basket of chips i polished off before it meant the meal wasn't :tongue:

^ agreed.

Express! Best jeans I own. Love them. Over half my jeans are from Express. :love:

I consider it part of my daily life and consider it built into my BMR. In other words, I wouldn't log / track it.

i do both, depends on what mood I am in :tongue: I also burn more than MFP. My runs are usually about 130 cals / mile.

I have always worn a bikini except when I swam competitively, I had to wear a race 1-piece for that. You are "ready" whenever you feel comfortable enough to wear it.

Thank you, Google didn't bring up a .gov site for me, I got the NY Times, lol.

It was SIGNED into law, and some places (NY, a few states in the PNW) have started enforcing the law already , but it has NOT been ENACTED in every state yet. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/24/business/24menu.html

Not all states. Heck. Not MOST states.

I just hit 435 days over the weekend. It isn't as new and shiny as it once was, but I still come every day to keep my streak alive.

you are new. Have you upped your intake since you started MFP? 6-12 times a day seems pretty normal to me. It should taper off after a month or so of consistent drinking. I have rough Monday's because my water intake is bad on the weekend.

I didn't read the post you are referring to, but I say be comfortable. If you are okay in it, who cares what anyone else thinks? I have a HARD time finding workout clothes. Most of mine are UA as well, but, I prefer to be nearly naked. It doesn't matter to me how cold it is, if I am racing, I will be in shorts or a running…

^ make me laugh. For realz. :laugh:

that is a great NSV!! Good Job!! :flowerforyou:

In all fairness, the cranberry ones are "Cran-Bran" - they are supposed to be bran / fiber-ish tasting.

get fitted for shoes. If you have them already and can't get rid of them, sit on the ground, legs straight in front of you, and write the alphabet with your toes (great stretching). Also, frozen water bottles rubbed up and down the front of your legs will feel GREAT. GL! I started with the C25k, have ran 3 5k's and just…

last time I checked, they were like $3.88 a box at Target and Walmart. I didn't find it that unreasonable...

I was eating them for a while as part of my breakfast with a side of bacon / sausage and half a grapefruit - I REALLY like them with cream cheese on them sprinkled with splenda. Right now I am on an oatmeal kick, but I am sure I will cycle back to the vitatops eventually.

without a HRM, I would go with the lowest MFP.

This post is 100000000000000000 x better than the "eye candy" one. Thanks!

That's what I am talking about :heart:

go, get watched, buy your first pair of shoes from them - in the future, you will already know what you need :-)

ah, i hate reading that! Some of my favorite foods are barely steamed veggies ( I LOVE green beans). You just have to break yourself in slowly and get used to them! I love veggies. About 99% of them, I adore. I hate salads. The more you eat, the more you will start to like them, and play around and find applications where…

I am 35, 5'5", SW 170.5, Currently about 140, GW is 125-130. I will know it when I get to it.
