That is really interesting, I never thought about the science behind the HRM. Thank you for explaining all of that information.

Thanks cmbauer99, I will have to look into that one!

I box and run/strength train.

What I will do most of the time when looking for a low calorie dinner is go to www.cookinglight.com. They have thousands of recipies that are healthy and easy to make. :smile:

Parmesan Crusted Chicken Ingredients - 16oz of chicken breast (I like the ones that are cut thin – that way they don’t get chewy and dry when baking them) - 4 Tablespoons Non-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt - 3 tablespoons of fresh grated parmesan cheese - 2 tablespoons of Italian style or seasoned bread crumbs - Greek seasoning…

This is what I do as well, and it has been working for at least 5-6 months. I believe I should eat at 2200 a day with my activity level, current body fat percentage, etc. and I try to eat at 1300-1600 during the week and then do what I please on the weekends. I feel it helps with the transition between 'dieting' and…

A telemarketer calls a family household and a little boy picks up the phone: "Hello" (the little boy whispers) "Hello young man, is your father home?" "Yes" (whispered) "Well may I please speak to him?" "No, he's busy" (whispered) "Alright then is your mother at home?" "Yes" (whispered) "May I please speak to her?" "No,…

Two women walk into a local bar and the bartender can tell that the women were not from the area. So the bartender asks them: "Hello there, are you two ladies from Scotland?" Offended, one of the ladies replies: "It's Wales, you idiot!" The bartender looking embarrased then says: "My apologies, are you two whales from…

Definitely. I would NEVER get upset If my boyfriend were as dedicated to working out as you are. My boyfriend is healthy and goes to the gym quite often. He may not go often as you do, but it makes me happy that he cares about his health, not upset. Good for you for all that you've accomplished and shame on her for not…

I was VERY excited when I saw this new section! I've been looking for more friends that are in maintenance like me, so feel free to add me if you'd like! I've been in maintenance for about 4 months now. I went from eating a net 1200 a day to 1700 now. I will typically try to stay under that goal of 1700 during the week so…

"Heads Will Roll" - Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Eyes on Fire" (Zeds Dead Remix) "Mercy" - Duffy OR Almost any song by Rihanna :love:

:flowerforyou: Bump for later. Great job everyone!!

My mouth just started watering. I have to try this!!!

:flowerforyou: I agree with most people's response. If I am complimented by a stranger I just give them a genuine smile and a simple thank you very much.

I second this! You are so beautiful!

I box AT LEAST 3 times a week. Boxing is the one of the BEST workouts and biggest stress relievers I have ever had, and I always feel better/accomplished once I've finished a class. With that being said, I would love to try yoga. At the moment I can't afford to do both and I prefer boxing, but I definitely need something…

According to my Sports Nutrition class i took in college, your body can only absorb a certain amount of protein in a day depending on your activity level. I can't remember the exact numbers but I'm sure you can look them up. And you don't poop it out, you pee it out. My professor used to say that taking in all this extra…

I was most surprised by how many calories I was eating a day of healthy food. Before finding MFP I started to "eat healthier" and was having things like whole wheat toast and fruit for breakfast, sandwiches/salad for lunch, apples and peanut butter AND carrots and hummus or cheese and crackers for snacks, etc. My first day…

BUMP for later :smile:

I always use turkey bacon, reduced fat mozzerella cheese, mushrooms, onions, and spinach. Yummmm!

I do this as well although it has gotten so much better as I've gotten older. It used to be really bad when I was young, my mom used to have to put a knife underneath a certain part of my plate to tilt it so that the juices from whatever meat/vegetable she cooked didn't get into the rice/mashed potatoes or whatever else we…

Looooove the dress! so beautiful!

bump for later! Congratulations to everyone for your achievements!!! :flowerforyou:

In my family it was all the children that added their own change to the name. it started as the understood grandma and grandpa, my sister started calling them nana and papa, and then comes me (the baby) who started saying nanny and poppy. They are still nanny and poppy today to everyone in the family :smile:

Anyone can call themselves a 'nutritionist'. They can read a book and say, "Hey! I think I know a lot about these things, I should be a nutritionist!" and therefore they are. Look for a Registered Dietician if you want to make sure that the person telling you what to put in your body has actually done the schooling and…
