What do we think about this calculator??? MFP said I have 70 grams I think. But this is saying LOTS less. I am very confused. :( http://www.webefit.com/Calculators/Calc_protein.html

So if I want to weigh 130 pounds I should eat 130 grams of protein a day????

I am interested in finding out how to estimate how much is a good amount of protein.

That is a really good Idea. I do not have any cool motivating techniques... I am trying to find some motivation somewhere but the last few months have just been lagging for me. I just cant get to the gym more than once a week. I am going to use your motivation to help me motivate myself!!!

~Meag... Im sorry emotions are so high for you right now. If I learned anything about being nice to myself from this site.. then it was from you!!! I know you can get through this. (if anyone can it's you!) I have come a long way from when I started out here... not really in the fitness aspect but in my overall view of…

I guess everyone is pretty busy this month too!!!! Well... update for me.. I got a HRM but I am not very happy with it yet.. it just cant seem to figure it out. Its a Sportline I think.. IDK.. But I am trying to get serious this month and a broken HRM isnt going to help keep my spirits up!~ Its a rainy monday here in…

Slow thread this month! Thank you for being here though.. I need some accountabilty or I am going to drift back into bad habits! last month was not TOO horrible.. I did still manage to get to 131 but I am not sure how. I did find a strength training workout that works for me.. after I tweeked it a bit, but kept the general…

mkingraham (Megan)- Keep up the 15k training plan, complete my 10k on 9/24, make my workouts a priority even when I'm on the cruise, get into ONEderland meagalayne- Ice and stretch as needed and try to incorporate core and upper body work into your weekly routine; drink more H20 than you did in August; run on Sept 18th…

I am having one of the worst days EVER.. and I thought coming on here and killing time would be a good way to ignore the world.... but just reading a few of your stories and comments has inspired me to get up, stop feeling sorry for myself and go to the gym! I guess thats what this group stuff is really about!.. thank you…

getting off the couch for once in my life!

Hi Guys!~!~! I have been hiding for a long time but it doesnt seem like there has been too much action going on here... I hope you are all still Kicking *kitten*.!~!!!~!! Im sure you are!~! Quick update for me... started a REAL strength training workout today. I copped out and bought a magazine..lol.. but the trainer at…

These are delicious! I forgot about them and I havent bought them in a while, thanks for the reminder! I like dipping them i some plain greek yogurt jazzed up with some fresh chives and garlic!

moderation moderation moderation. Anything in LARGE amounts isn't going to seem healthy in the large sceem of things. Wine in small amounts is not bad, but wine in large amounts will eventually shut down your liver. Sugar in small amounts is not bad, but sugar in huge amounts will make your heart sad and your body fat! I…

if you have some plastic water bottles ready for recycling you can make them into personal Lava Lamps!~!~! Fill the bottle a little over half way with veg oil and then the rest of the way with water. (you can do this before the kids come so you dont have to worry about pouring stuff when they get there.) Then have…

I don't think your weekends are going to counteract your work during the week completly. You can log what you drink on the weekends if you want to see the numbers and keep them under control. Everyone is entiltled to an off day if they choose.. so intstead of eating cake.... you drink beer!!~~!! My only warning would be to…

Megan, Meag and Beth~!~! Thank you thank you thank you. I am changing my goal on MFP and upping my calories.
