It sucks a LOT! :(

Depends on how often and how hard you are working out. Most days I try to shoot for 90-95 grams of protein.
-
I like to eat some protein if I have done a particularly long workout. It helps your body repair itself and recover from what it has just done. I have a protein shake and sometimes I'll add in a frozen banana with it. I love the Kashi cereals. Most of them are pretty high in protein. My favorite at the moment is the Kashi…

I totally agree with the banana smoothie idea. I have done it a lot myself. I slice up a banana, freeze it, and that way I have it for a smoothie or to add to my protein shake whenever I want it. I take one of my frozen bananas, add a cup of light soymilk and blend together. It's great! I like to add a little cinnamon to…

More protein. I am a runner and I find that if I have not had adequate protein, I simply don't have the energy I need to run at my best. On a typical day I try to get around 80 grams, even though MFP says I don't need that much. Since I run 6 to 7 days a week, I feel that my body needs it.

What's the village of Stepaside like? The lead singer of Def Leppard lives there. I just wondered if it was a sort of "uppity" type of place.

DITTO!!!

You guys are SO lucky to live in such a beautiful place. I live in the USA but I am completely and TOTALLY obsessed with all things Irish. I have a huge photograph over my fireplace of the famous "Dark Hedges" in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Absolutely stunning. Sadly, I have never actually been to Ireland. I had…

Most definitely eaten a whole container of cookies at once. Absolutely! I have done it with these on SEVERAL occasions: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/6067572/pims_raspberry_european_biscuits_review.html?cat=22 *sigh*

My sister (who is 4 years my junior) is just as bad as I am. So there's 3 of us at least! :)

OMG!!!!!! I so want to visit Mt. Airy someday! It is on my bucket list for sure. I want to go during the Mayberry Days festival. :)

I am a complete and total Andy Griffith Show encyclopedia. I can recite the lines right along with the characters on any given episode. I have been into the show since I was a very young child.

LOL! Love it! You and Steve-O from *kitten*... Hilarious.

It just kept saying "lost satellite signal", and was not calculating my calories burned. :huh:
-
Been doing this since March 4th and haven't head an honest-to-goodness cheat day yet. But since I rarely have a day off of exercising, I am sure I'll be working out on my cheat day whenever that comes. I think it will make me feel a little better about cheating. :)
-
That is great news. It also makes me really really glad that I never have been a soda drinker. Back when I was a teenager I did, but I haven't drank sodas in years. They always made my stomach bloated and the carbonation just left me feeling awful. I considered them 'empty' calories and never liked the taste of the diet…
-
Same here. I have a heart rate monitor, but it WILL NOT pick up when I am at my gym. No satellite signal there. :( So I record my calories that show up on the machine I'm on (which I know is not right). Then I try to always leave 100-200 calories free so I know I am not going over. Once the weather gets better and I can…

I'm no expert, but that sounds kind of low to me. I'm on a 1200 intake as well. Seems like it should be higher than that, especially for a male.
-
Welcome! I could only hope my husband would do this with me. I'm not holding my breath!
-
I do the 1% incline on the treadmill as well. It definitely helps when race day rolls around!

Women's minds just work differently when it comes to this stuff. For instance, men most always judge a woman by the way her body and face look. Women don't do that nearly as much. Women are more interested in what is on the inside. At least that's how I am. I couldn't care less about 6-pack abs. A fit healthy body is just…
-
LOL! I once went in an empty soda can. My husband was totally amazed. We were on vacation and going out to a reef to snorkel. We were in this little 2-seater speed boat and I had to go BAD. Didn't want to stop, so I grabbed an empty soda can. I didn't spill a drop, either. My husband went on and on about how awesome this…
-
Oh how I wish I had been born male. I hate hate HATE everything that goes along with being a woman. I am dead serious. I hate having to deal with all the crap. I swear, it would be so nice to be a man. You men have NO IDEA how great you have it. :frown:
-
I thought that too at first. Then I started monitoring my sodium and sugar intake. Boy was I surprised how much of that stuff I was consuming!!! I was under my calorie goal, but way, way over on sodium and sugar. Seems like after I started controlling that, the weight really started to drop and I could SEE the results in…
-
I totally agree. I have mine right now & I found that since eating differently I didn't have the God-awful symptoms but the cravings are still there. Today has been hard.
-
Very interesting. I have been really watching my sugar intake closely, so I went and bought some sugar free imitation honey. Sounds strange, I know. Anyway, I really really like it! I have been eating it on whole wheat bread with natural peanut butter as a snack sometimes. Well now I know why it like it so much! I read on…
-
I have that same model. I guess I didn't do enough research on it, because I thought it would monitor my heart rate just by being on my wrist (where the pulse can be found). But as I opened the packaging, I noticed the strap and was disappointed that I would have to wear that during my run. I have yet to put it on. I think…
-
I had the whole 9... swelling, cramping, moods, boobs hurting, stomach looking and feeling like someone had taken an air pump to it. UGH!! But.... since I started MFP I have had only minor cramping (very tolerable compared to before) and none of the other symptoms! I am sure I was taking in way too much sodium before,…

sliced cucumbers with Marzetti Light Balsamic Viniagrette. OMG!
