...omg... if there is one ad that has consistently resulted in my experiencing a kind of 'full body' 'rolling of the eyes' (and as much as what I've just expressed is rather difficult to visualize ;) ), that ad would be it... I cannot help wondering, when I've chanced upon that ad, whether anyone actually buys it --…

I've come to see "efficient" as having two (albeit functionally related) meanings, in this context. 1) a calories/minute 'burn' rate 2) a total body 'impact' aspect For me -- and we all have different preferences, tendencies, etc., when it comes to exercise (let alone, different bodies, and potential physical, medical…

Many times when I hear a song from the Back In Black album, and especially those oh, so familiar beginning seconds of the Back In Black song itself, and that muscular sound starts 'speaking to' some visceral aspect of being, I marvel at the fact that despite having heard these songs countless times over the past 3 decades,…

You look WONDERFUL! Thank you for sharing your story.

I just found this thread, after a quick search (= "potassium"), given that I was curious about whether anyone had discussed the fact that various milk and yogurt entries in the database have no potassium values entered (even if listed on the label!) -- I just discovered this today (and not long ago), after wondering how on…

Absolutely... :) Some additional songs I find great for 'accompanying movement' -- Michael McDonald - No Lookin' Back (I also love listening to this song while driving on a highway, on a summer evening, as the sun is sinking into the sky), Ain't No Mountain High Enough Chaka Khan - Ain't Nobody The Jacksons - Torture Earth…

For a while, chocolate milk was my mainstay... I ultimately began going with lowfat non-chocolate milk and unsulfured dried peach slices (of all things (for some reason, I began craving them after major calorie burns, and loved eating them with milk))... And on occasion, I've gone for chocolate ice cream with chopped…

...oh, but it just might... ;) Oatmeal often has a texture akin to paper pulp or effluvial 'sluice' (and with varying degrees of 'gloopiness'), and can seem to be the epitome of 'slop', texture- and appearance-wise, which could understandably be found unappealing... while Cream of Wheat has a texture akin to finely ground…

That makes two of us! :) For me, my "ah, no..."(s) are... let's see... ...liver, kidney, heart, lungs, intestines, and brains (no Haggis for me! (oh, and that list was not 'complete', of course -- I wouldn't be 'up for' any gall bladder or pancreas (or sundry other organs), if somehow deemed 'edible' (I'm suddenly thinking…

There's no way I would have been able to run (without a digestive issue consequence or issue, that is) if I'd eaten so little protein, fat, and fiber, or had so few calories (i.e. not enough fuel for my body to function properly), and hadn't allowed more time for any recently eaten meat to make it through more of my…

Oh boy, do I ever... ...and what a difference it makes to have one's colon 'show up to the table' (wait, that didn't exactly come out right (no pun intended ;P)), and 'participate in' the 'improve your health and well-being' sweepstakes... ;) If I were to give some sort of 'MVP' award to the top 3 fiber-tastic contributors…

After it generated a number of 918 for me (which promptly resulted in my laughing out loud), I looked over the text above the fill-in-the-blanks section, and it indicated that the calculator was to be used to "Find out how many calories to eat each day and how much of the different food groups are needed to provide those…

Same here... ...and I subsequently find myself experiencing an odd sort of emotion on various family gathering -populated mornings, feeling as though I'm some kind of partypooper-esque 'alien', when countless bagels are put out with freshly brewed coffee, along with tubs of cream cheese and butter, for all to partake of,…

Among the SO many truths, insights, and observations conveyed by the wonderful folks in this thread, I somehow feel compelled to take a moment right now to comment on (and celebrate) the specific (and fantastic) reality quoted above... (I just chanced upon this thread, and look forward to later contributing a series of…

The following is a link to a terrific (and highly informative) blog post from this site, regarding the topic in question -- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Azdak/view/hrms-cannot-count-calories-during-strength-training-17698 ...with the following being an excerpt which 'reverberated' in my mind, upon reading it --[...] If…

You're incredible! And SUCH an inspiration! In addition to your remarkable transformation, and valuable insight, your words provide their own form of powerful testimony and inspiration, and the following statements echo in my mind -- > one meal of calorie and carb overload won’t make you fat, just like one salad won’t help…

Yes... the only reasons I continued in doing what I did, and for as long as I did it, was due to my cardiovascular fitness, strength, and stamina being what they were/are, and given that I didn't end up having any cramp, muscle strain, or 'issue' in engaging in the action until a few hours into the activity -- when an…

In addition to noticing improvement and fitness gains when incorporating one rest day per week, I've been surprised by how much an occasional 2-3 days of rest results in my being stronger and having more stamina afterwards, when resuming workout-based physical activity. To an extent, I suppose it could be considered…

I was curious about this myself, a few weeks ago, in wanting to compare what my heart rate monitor indicated, versus what any guideline estimate might happen to be. One problem I have, conceptually, with any such estimate, is that there should not be only one number conveyed for estimated calorie burn rates associated with…

I seem to naturally gravitate toward having(/needing) enough variety such that the word "usually" is rendered inapplicable, when it comes to the specific items eaten in my various meals and snacks, and when considered on a day-to-day basis. Although the specific items vary, and include some days when I eat a breakfast…

Some posts from others who have previously wondered about and/or commented on this topic -- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/468963-are-treadmill-calorie-counters-correct In the following thread, the posts from Azdak are particularly informative --…

When it comes to me... I knew that the introduction of an additional deficit would create a need for additional fuel, but I chose to take a kind of 'scientist'-like 'approach', initially, out of curiosity, to see what my body would 'dictate', when it came to eating back calories, and specifically, how much it 'wanted', and…

Thank you for posting this.

Can't put my finger on why I feel like this...... If you're experiencing perimenopause or menopause, and experiencing emotionality, the root cause is very, very, very likely hormone-based, and is due to low estradiol. It's a classic symptom (and it's real). I'm on thyroxine but not currently on HRT or anything. Are there…

Hi, I checked around different resources online, and while some numbers varied somewhat from the following (a general value I ran into was 20 calories/ounce of milk produced), and various resources basically stated different forms of 'it depends', the following falls within the overall range I saw cited, and might be a…

I almost needed a Heimlich maneuver performed on me, after reading that, given that I 'choke-laughed' in reading about the excitement regarding toilet clogging ;)... Well, if there happens to be any sort of chia seed -specific advertising or promotional body, then I dare say, the slogan of the first ad campaign has been…

...holy crap... I love deviled eggs, but don't make them frequently, only because of the 'base'/mayo-ish component -- but now you've passed on the amazingness that is 'substitute greek yogurt' (WHY didn't I think of this?!) -- and thus you have the distinct pleasure of (1) having made it possible for me to eat more of my…

lol While not a confession regarding something I specifically indulged in (and feel 'guilty' about ;) ), I nonetheless do hereby confess to the following food-related realities which, were they to be admitted to any random stranger -- versus the understanding folks here on MFP -- I might be deemed in need of 'some help'...…

This might sound silly, but one of the ways I use hummus is as a kind of 'glue' for broken tortilla chips (lol)... ;) ...by the time I get to the bottom of a bag of organic blue corn tortilla chips, there are inevitably a bunch of small and not-exactly-small-but-still-nowhere-near-original-size pieces of 'former intact…
