The FT4 I believe is the cheapest and like someone said, if you are using MFP you don't really need the extra features of the higher models. I got mine on ebay from somebody who had bought it but never used it for 60$ and it's seriously the best present I've ever bought myself.

I have that moment every once in a while. Had one this morning actually. I had a really crappy week, ate crap more than once and just didn't get very much exercise and had a 2 lb loss. I even put my 50 pound weight on the scale to make sure it was right. I was like :noway: But I have a theory that my body probably actually…

Probably not. If anything it's better than being WAY over like most people are.

Lol the lean pocket part got me. I keep those in my freezer, i don't actually eat them much because they are not that good and full of sodium but they are nice to have around when i'm feeling super super lazy.

I can read most men quite easily. My boyfriend however, not so much. Maybe that's why he appeals to me so much. He's just a mystery. And there's almost always a surprise of some sort or another from him on varying levels and not always good. Like one time he called me at work to tell me he had a surprise for me. So all day…

I haven't really noticed. Maybe I'm just oblivious, maybe i've just been around the internet enough so that certain comments don't phase me as much. Between the online dating I did in college, the clubbing I used to do, being the lesser represented gender in MMO games, I've been told a lot of things by a lot of men and for…

I was gonna start listing all the nerdy stuff I'm into but my nerdyness is pretty apparent when you meet me. : /

My boyfriend looooves my tattoos and can't wait until I can afford to get more. As others have said they are an artistic expression of how I feel on the inside in my heart and my soul. They mean very special things to me and they make me feel more beautiful. And I honestly don't care what they look like when I'm old. Who…

My Polar FT4 works good in water as long as I tighten the strap really good. Haven't tried it in salt water but has worked in natural water and pool water.

Ooh. That sounds good and way cheaper. I might try that.

I tried the claw and the rake today. Basically what is left in my garden right now is crab grass. Definitely think I might try the gardening tarp thingy. I feel like such a procrastinator just now getting started on this stuff halfway through the summer.

Man i'm so getting a pole when I get a house.

MFP generally gives people a really low goal for protein. I don't think I've ever had a single day where I didn't go WAY over. There isn't really such a thing as too much protein. I know guys working on building muscle that do close to 200 grams per day of protein. The only downside to it is that it might make you…

If you are feeling bloated the healthiest way to get rid of the water weight, believe it or not , is to drink more water. Diuretics, even natural ones, can leave you dehydrated especially like someone said in these hot days. Your body is constantly trying to balance itself out. You get bloated when your body feels like it…

Like one poster as already pointed out. BMI is only really a rough estimate over overall health. It doesn't really take into account body composition. The boobs and the muscle will definitely effect the number. I think instead of weight and bmi you might want to look more at body fat percentage.

It's a complete myth that eating late at night makes a difference. It only makes a different if you are going for that late night snack after you've already reached your calorie goal and it's going to put you over or if you are snacking on junk. It's not about when you eat or even how often, its about what you eating and…

I never really allow myself to get too hungry and I try to eat every few hours. But I also have a problem with bingeing and cravings if I let myself get really hungry.

As long as the person is legal . . .

I hardly ever wear underpants. I don't even care about panty lines I just don't like they way they feel. I've never found underpants that I felt good wearing. Only time I really wear them is if I'm wearing a skirt or a dress.

Great post. I actually keep a log of my deficit using my TDEE and it gives me a pretty good rough idea of what I should have lost for the week. So if I only lose a half pound or nothing I can look at my deficit log and my food diary and see exactly why and I don't get discouraged.

I used to play really really hard core. My boyfriend's gulid is currently top 100 in the world and I used to raid with them but I got sick of treating the game like a job, especially when there are other more important things I need to be working on right now. I still raid fairly casually but we been having trouble keeping…

When i started eating healthier I started pooping WAY less. When I ate junk I literally had to go like 3 -5 times a day and they were usually like sudden emergencies. I would have to jump out of my chair and run to the bathroom. Now that I eat healthy it's usually once a day at the same time every day, sometimes twice a…

In what sense? Do they help you sweat. . . probably. Do they help you actually lose body fat. . . no.

Right now I am a cook and a delivery driver for a large pizza chain. I can easily say that I do not at all enjoy it. I'm severely underpaid for amount of work I'm required to do, some of it resulting in physical pain or stress. I don't get enough hours any more because our business has gone to crap because our food is lack…

http://www.hulu.com/watch/1447/saturday-night-live-taco-town Lol there we go. Enjoy.

I've been working towards my fitness certification and there is a thing called the Training Effect where a person thinks they can handle more than they actually can and usually by the 3rd or 4th session they crash and give up. But it sounds to me like maybe your trainer hasn't accurately assessed your fitness level. You do…

Not sure but i remember seeing a SNL skit like that.

1200 net is the healthiest way to go. You might find yourself hitting a plateau sooner if you are netting a lot less than that.

Working in the morning and hiding in my house from my crazy neighbors for the rest of the night. I know. Not very patriotic. Probably just gonna eat my usual. Might make turkey burgers since the gym will be closed and I'll have time.

One of my good friends just had a baby and the day after she was born I came to visit them in the hospital and BAM maternal instinct kicked in. It was just awe inspiring to watch mother and child interacting with each other. I WANT THAT SO BAD! Thankfully there is potential for my boyfriend to get back into the work force…
