I dislike most potato-based fried foods. Don't like French fries or potato chips, absolutely hate hashbrowns. I also can't stand pork and I'm iffy about beef. I'll tear up chicken, turkey, most seafood, etc., but I'm rarely in the mood for a burger, never want steak, and can't even eat pork chops.

I'm mostly doing strength training today; I'll throw in some time with the punching bag later tonight so I at least have some actual cardio for the day. What were you using at the range? I've been a shooting hobbyist for just shy of 20 years. If it's excessively loud, just double up on hearing protection (both the foam…

My wife's vegetarian enchiladas. Gotta finish off those leftovers.

I spent most of my life as a really flexible person. I decided I had to do something about my steadily-increasing weight when I realized I could no longer bend my legs well enough to put my socks on without having to seriously try.

Since two of you have already asked me about logging strength training times with MFP (since there's no "time" entry for it where you enter your set and rep information), I'm just going to paste my response here in case anyone else was wondering the same thing but didn't want to ask me. While there is a separate section…

Heritage is almost entirely Scottish with a little Irish making up the difference. There's a bit of other stuff floating around in there but it's like single-digit percentages. Both of my parents coincidentally came from heavily Scottish and Irish families.

Sort of depends on the kind of bread, who makes it, and the rest of your diet. My wife and I make our own homemade bread so we know there's nothing "extra" hidden in the ingredients, and if we do buy bread, we buy it from a local bakery. It's a near-daily part of my diet and my weight's been on a steady downward spiral for…

Aspartame isn't exactly GOOD for you, but you'd have to be basically living on nothing but Diet Coke to ingest the amounts necessary to cause any serious harm. You could probably drink it daily and not suffer any real consequences. Unless you consider the taste of Diet Coke itself to be a consequence, naturally. I can't…

If I can't find it (or something real similar) online, then I'll find something else in the database that I expect to be very similar based on the brand and such. It's happened to me a couple of times.

Everyone on the team should have received a message from me by now; if you didn't get one, please let me know! A whopping 40 minutes of cardio, including some time on the punching bag while pretending it was a zombie and/or Daryl, and an hour-ish of strength training. My cardio was actually lighter than usual, I normally…

I've seen mine fluctuate as much as 10 pounds, but that was pretty extreme and when I was in my early teens. Normally I weigh about 2-3 pounds more in the evening than I do in the morning. Sometimes it's exactly the same but it's rare.

Did your doctor specifically tell you NOT to lift weights, or just that he wanted you to walk a mile each day? If he didn't say you should stop lifting, and you enjoy doing it, then I'd personally walk as he suggested but also do some strength training periodically. I do a mix of cardio and weight-lifting almost every day…

A pair of Sony marshmallow headphones I got for like $30 a few years ago. I can't use earbuds, they hurt like hell after about 10 minutes.

I burn the most when using the elliptical machine on a high resistance. My personal best is like 1315 calories in 60 minutes, and that's including the first two minutes spent at very low resistance as a warm-up. I put it on 10 resistance and listen to military cadence on my headphones so I'm sure my pace doesn't slow down.…

I don't even like wearing tight jeans. I think I'll pass on leggings.

Two cats and two rats. It gets tense sometimes.

Man, I'm 30 now and I've been saying I was 30 for the last three years. I loved officially getting out of the "twenty-something" age group.

My local gym doesn't have a punching bag, so I made one out of my old military seabag just for this challenge. I hope everyone here is ready to kick some *kitten*; Daryl is too handsome to win this!
-
I log everything. Everythinnnnnnnnnnnng. If I don't know for certain due to eating in an unfamiliar, non-chain location, I make the best estimation I can based on similar foods already in the database.

It's worse than that; due to having a tiny apartment bathroom with no extra cupboard space, the pack of toilet paper is sitting directly underneath the roll itself. It's within arm's reach and clearly visible. She still doesn't change it, lol.

Oatmeal is cheap, relatively good for you (affected by what, if anything, you put in it, of course), and also stays with you for a long time; it won't just burn off and leave you hungry again an hour later. It also doesn't take long to make. I personally prefer to eat after I exercise, rather than beforehand. Whether I'm…

Oh god, I'll second the one about empty toilet paper. My wife does this nearly every time. Also... - People who are 20 or older and still can't use an apostrophe correctly. No, "girl's" is not plural. - When it rains like 5 drops and then stops, stays cloudy for the next 2 hours, and then does it again. Just make up your…

I met my wife in an Internet discussion forum (not an actual dating site, basically a place like this one). We've been together for 7 years now. It's not for everyone, though. I know a few people who've had good luck with it, but I also know several who've had really bad experiences.

I know some people dislike certain brands, but whey protein on its own is fine. There's nothing unnatural about it, it literally just comes from milk.

I don't mind cardio, but I can't run worth a crap. It makes no sense; I'm 6'2" and have long legs even for my height, plus I've always been fairly light. By all rights I should be able to run like a deer. Even at my absolute best though, I've never been able to do better than like an 8 minute mile, and even that left me…

I've only used the barcode scanner once because it's usually faster for me to just type in the name in the database. The one time I did use the scanner, it had the right brand but everything else was wrong. My wife uses the scanner all the time, though, so it must be fairly reliable. Either that or she's just got tons of…

There was a Coldstone Creamery directly opposite my old gym. I'd drive out and it would literally be the first thing I saw as I was leaving the parking lot. It always seemed really unfair somehow.

When I first got back out of the military, I actually measured my freezer to see how many Totino's Party Pizzas I could fit into it at once. Do I really need to elaborate further? Frankly I'm sometimes surprised I'm neither dead nor diabetic after the way I ate and lived until I was about 25.
