My guess is the user who input it (or updated it) added their username to it. I've read that others have done it in the past, so they can identify their foods easier. (I've noticed that foods I add or update don't have the asterisk, but sometimes when the database gets an overhaul, it wipes that out, and the entries have…

I'm of the philosophy that asks, "Did I drink it? Then it counts" (That said, I stopped counting water because I know I'm getting enough. I have a 24 ounce bottle at work, and another at home. I fill them 3-4 times a day (combined) at a minimum, so I'm getting at least 72ozs a day, not counting my almost daily shake, and…

Same here - I prefer the chocolate peanut butter, and I usually have them after my workout. Rush back to work and have that and my lunch. I usually just toss in a couple of ice cubes and water. And when I emailed the company about a sampler pack so I could try the flavors without buying a whole tub, they said they didn't…

In the US, the label says cal, but it means kcal - they dropped the kilo designation, but the value is still the same, because someone somewhere decided that a kcal, is a "food calorie" and then they just started calling them calories. So, same thing, different label. :) If you are in the US, some stores with imported…

Years, and years ago... somewhere in the vicinity of 1996 or 1997, I decided to open up a Yahoo account. I needed a name. I was getting tired of my BBS/AIM handle so wanted something different. The previous Friday night we'd watched Stargate, and it had a Goa'uld named Linea. Unfortunately, at the time, I didn't pay…

So very, annoyingly, true. *sigh*

Oh yeah - I use the JeFit app as well. Put the workout in there, with the rests and everything, and it puts me through (with videos to show how to properly do the exercise) so I don't lose count, or have to carry a pad and paper around with me. It doesn't sync to MFP, but it gives the total workout time, time lifting, and…

I've started the Ice Cream lifting program (slightly modified for time. Instead of resting between individual exercises, I circuit through, and after three separate exercises I rest for a bit. The time doing the other exercises, plus the rest time, brings it close to the shorter end of the 3-5 minutes recommended.) and it…

That is awesome. I don't think I've worn a size 12 since junior high, much less a 10 (which was so long ago, a 12 then is probably something else now.) and I'm looking forward to fitting in those sizes next year. :) (To be able to shop in the Ladies section, instead of the Women's Plus section, is a dream. :) )

Whatever you want. So you go over a bit, it's one meal, on one day. Enjoy the time out, and keep to your goal tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that, and so on. Habits are the big thing here. Break the bad habit of eating more than you burn *every day* and create the good habit of healthy eating and…

Awesome. My baby days are behind me (I'm counting down to them moving out now. :) ) but I probably would've tried to find a way to count that as exercise (it is a workout. :) )

Need a swimsuit for Labor Day weekend. I bought one earlier in the summer, a size 20, but the opportunity to use it never happened, so I returned it a week later. Used the $30 for something else. Went out today and found one for half what I paid before, size 16. it's snug, but worked. And I might be a bit smaller by then…

The only exercise I was going to remove the rest from, was one I was going to switch arms, so the other arm is "resting" in as much as it isn't lifting anything, while the other arm is. And it is a race to a degree, I have to get back to work. (Midday is the best time of day for me to work out, and although I think work is…

I have family on the AZ/NM border. They refuse to pronounce a nearby down as roe-Day-oh, it's Roe-dee-oh, and when I pronounced it correctly, I was corrected. Yeah, lots of hatred for the people who sneak across the border (and cause trouble) and they take it out on the language.

You are dedicated Silly question: Did you count the exercise calories of being in labor?
-
You can do that? Well - dang.
-
I don't think that would work for your days logged in though - it actually counts you logging into the app. :(
-
I was almost to 180 days when I took a break for a few days after my Mother-in-law passed away. Now I'm at 93, and determined to log in daily, regardless of what is going on.

The proper response would be, "Thank you, I'm glad you think so. Hopefully you'll still think I'm fine the way I am when I get to the point where *I* think I'm fine the way I am too."
-
I realized before, when people would ask if I'd lost weight, and hadn't, that it could be taken to mean, I'm fatter in their head than I am in reality. Whether that is good or not, is another matter. Although, just because someone comments that you look good, doesn't mean you looked bad before. It just means they've…

Yeah, the trainer I had my consultation with had me doing 3x10 - and it would've been all machine if I'd let him. No thanks. The only machines I used, were to test my strength (which probably isn't completely accurate, but since that'll change as I get stronger, it at least gave me a place to start) and the crunch one,…
-
I know exactly where you are. I've dabbled a bit over the years, with the machines at least. Free weights intimidated me because I had no idea what I was doing, and I did not want to hurt myself. Between the lifting threads here, research on the net, a consultation with a trainer (1 included with my new gym membership) and…

In for inspiration. Just started lifting to try to maintain muscle mass and build strength while I continue to lose... you are all awesome.

Wow - No wonder my history professor stopped competing. He was worried about his arteries. Of course, if you ask him, he says he's too small now - http://www.legendaryfitness.com/Richard.htm (Newest pic on that site is 2011 - if anything he's a little bigger now.) He is an inspiration to me.

Just sat in a movie theater seat and my hips didn't brush the armrests. Sweet.

Life is what you make it. Go make it happy. :) And good luck with the job prospect. I graduated from hobbyist to salaried IT "Specialist" a couple years ago. It's an experience. If you haven't already, watch The IT Crowd (it's on Netflix streaming, and there are probably episodes online) and remember - it *is* like that.…
-
Yeah, me too. And if I'd realized at the time how late we were going to play, I'd have probably enjoyed the pizza the others ordered. :) Trying to cram down 1000 calories right before bed because I didn't plan ahead, not as much fun as one might think. :) This has been an awesome week for me all around. The pants were just…

Found a pair of jeans while looking for gaming dice. 4 sizes smaller than my largest jeans (that I still wear because I'm a cheapskate. Belts are good.) Wore them to work today. It's weird wearing pants that fit. :)
