Online every day. Anyone can Add me as well.

Thanks Rero79 I just added you. I have young children and a family health history too!

Kalex1975, theabsentmi.. You guys are definitely inspirational. Thanks! I just logged my first week and feel great.

BTW: After only 6 days of diet and exercise my Blood Pressure is comming down.

Thanks Josiejo0701! Just added you:)

I eat a lot of them, but try to save a few hundred if I can, so that days when I want to I can go over and not feel bad about it. I use the 7 day and 30 day "Net Calories" report to make sure I'm averaging out. I've gone substantially over (as much as 800 calories) six times in the last 30 days and still lost 5 lbs. Eat…

I treat myself to a soda once in a while. I keep 8oz coke in a glass bottles in the house, it reminds me of a beer bottle and I will sometimes have one with a hotdog and chips, or even with some popcorn. It's about 100 calories, otherwise, besides my morning coffee I try not to drink my calories. If I go out to eat or find…

If your goal is to burn calories through cardio exercise, it doesn't matter what you do; only what your heart rate is while you’re doing it. For me if I keep my heart rate at about 112, I'll burn 10 or 11 calories every minute of exercise. With my heart rate up around 135, I’ll burn 14 or 15 calories per minute. Some say…

I like to exercise with my daughter in the room. Shes 4 and lately she will just run around in circles and tell me shes exercising. It's funny. But she is learning that exercise is part of my life, and I hope she embraces it as part of hers.

I've run a lot of men, have had 40-50 carpenters work under me on a single construction site. I like to swear.

Alright... I'll set up a group and send you all an invention to join.

Yes truly inspirational

You might be on to something here. Can you deep fry a banana?

I didn't know that.......that's interesting because I believe Weight Watchers point system must ultimately be based on counting calories (but they do it for you).

[/quote] [/quote] "I don't think people are going to go as far as to eat 1800 calories of fruit and/or veg a day. Has anyone out there every done that?" [/quote] Ya I think people do, I was actually reading about a guy who said he was eating 4000 calories a day fruit veggies & nuts. I'm not sure, but I think Vegans and…

I agree, same as up stairs opposed to down, I'm really leaning towards the elliptical. Thanks..... to everyone for the advice.

I'm also looking at the NordicTrack E5.7 Elliptical, I have a Nordic Track recumbent bike, I've had it for 3 years, never a problem and I love it.

Anyone can add me

Anyone can add me as well..

Any can add me

I wanted to try it in my oatmeal this morning, but I forgot and had eggs. I'll try it tomorrow.

Rachel.... I think you look great!

No, not at all, in fact I love my whole milk. I could never give it up totally, but the whole cardiovascular disease thing has me looking at lots of different dietary aids.

SMH1067.... You've earned your seat here! Disagreement stimulates intelligent conversation. Don't let what I say discourage you one bit. notsolittlesi is right... your a sweetheart! Happy valentines day!

That's a good article and intresting, but I quote this: "I’d also note that the combination of big caloric deficits and large amounts of activity clearly isn’t detrimental to everyone. Some folks can get away with it but, for many, it tends to backfire more than anything else." My advise is still........ Listen to your…

I never said she wont loose weight eating her calories back, the deficiency is baked into her allowance. I only said she doesn't have to.

Most of this advice is so wrong... Look at the big loosers diary, people who lost 50, 75, 125lbs. They don't eat the exerciser calories period. I eat some, but try to leave 800 to 1200 on the table. I'm following this guy .... joncowling1988.... regularly he exceeds his calories with exercise and he lost something like…

Your calories are spread out over the week, so you don't have to change anything on your days off. It's so unlikely for your body to go into starvation mode, you would really need to have anorexia or something. It really is nothing that you should worry about.

At the top of your page... Check out that APPS tab. it shows the apps and the devices that sinc with MFP

Your "Work calories" should be baked into your daily allowance and not counted as exercise because MFP uses that already. But make sure your Goals are all filled out so MFP can calculate your daily allowance correctly. Choose the right activity level under : How would you describe your normal daily activities? (in Goals)…
