protein bars (like Clif builder's bar, 270 calories, 20g protein)

Agree and Amen

Welcome aboard! That's how I found MFP, thru my Android phone. I've got tons of support on the site, making tons of friends here (which I haven't been on FB for a long time). Good luck and enjoy a healthier and happier life!

Mmmm, I need to do that too.

Portion sized!!!

Was wondering about it. Thanks. I think I'm gonna get it now.

Oops, accidentally hit this

Add 2 days of strength training. Toned up or build muscles, it will help burn more fat.

Bump

I found Brownberry's Oatnut is very soft and taste.

Do you exercises? That's what help you gain muscle mass, and burn fat mass.

True. I put down a number because MFP asking for. But I'm more targeted on body fat %, and being healthy. If I don't get to my "goal" number, but I build up all good muscle mass (lean, toned), I'll be very satisfied. Wish they have a choice for you to use fat % as a goal.

Glad to see someone got it! :P

FYI, 125 for 5'3 is not unrealistic goal. I am same height, goal 108, or 110, doesn't matter, as long as I can get 18% or less body fat.

I used to compete in high school (breaststroke). I just get back swimming this Jan, god I missed it. We have swim class on Tue/Thur, so I also got to start learning freestyle, which is completely out of my comfort zone, and very hard. It takes some time to get use to, but you will get better. Try search online or get a…

You might want to change your picture for awhile, so you won't be spotted or recognized right away. :P

If someone as geeky as me, here is a blog about "A brief look into how the Fitbit algorithms work": http://blog.fitbit.com/?p=69 It's really not tailed to individual for my opinion.

Never mind about the article posted, wasn't much of comparison between two product. One thing I've been wondering how the fitbit could get any accuracy since it's just simple clip somewhere on you. The number of calories burned based on so many factors: weight, gender, heart rate, etc. I don't see it can really help you to…

Mark, your date are off one week early.

Looks like I'm way behind (both calorie burned & posting it). Goal-3000 calorie burned Saturday-2/19 - 639 calories burned -(a little jogging + weight training + HIIT running) Sunday-2/20 - 0 (rest day) Monday-2/21 - 0 (recorded nothing, but was on my feet whole day) Tuesday-2/22 - 422 calories burned -(P90X) Wednesday2/23…

totally agree!!!

Illinois, USA, 12:01AM, bed time now. Have a great night or morning, wherever you are.

Yeah, I've been so sick of people so against eating these calories (or try to understand the science behind it) and stop replying to subject like these. My bad, not like my good fellow lady friend ladyhawk00! :o)

Read all the above, and also check this out: http://www.weightlossforall.com/body_composition.htm

First time did it this morning, hard to keep up with, but I did the alternative moves and finished (with lots of slacking). Just take times, may be after 6, 8, or 10 times I'll get much much better.

My mornings are very tight too, but I always managed to grab something quick: - if you can find this brand of muffin: The Classic Cafe Muffin, which wholefood sells them (don't get those muffins made in the store those, calorie killers). It's 150 calories, and very yummy. I can grab one and drink a glass of milk or orange…

Slowly start learning to like different type of the food, they are actually very delicious.

You can eat cooked vegi cold too: - Sugar snap peas (I prefer lightly boiled, 2 min, then cool it down in ice water right away) - Cauliflower (I like lightly cooked too, not too crunch not too mushy) - Stir fried (very little oil) tofu cubes (good protein right there) - Edamame (either boil them, or use pre-cooked frozen…

Iron, as a female, it's very important.

If you don't like them raw (me either), sauteed or stir fry (very little oil, use some broth) them. Most my vegi are cooked and they are delicious. Cut down salt for any food you prepare, avoid those in can.
