I meant thats what the acronym is...

yeah, I realized I wasn't sure what to call it. I just assumed that since I spend 60 minutes lifting weights above my head etc that weight lifting came to mind...the official name is Body Works...but that tells people nothing!

Thanks! I might look into this.

As long as the snake is not going between houses you seem fine. It does sound like its in a secure tank which is good. I am not a fan of pets like that, but some kiddos are. Just do your best and be thankful she hasn't rebelled toward something like drugs instead!! :P

I did some googleing yes...sounds similar to body pump.

AHA moment! I keep seeing NROWLW I am guessing that what this is!

see, I am not sure what body pump is...I have heard of it though. TO me it seems kinda similar to my Turbo Jams video Turbo Sculpt...only much more intense. The weights are pretty much in my hand the whole time and its go go go with squats and lunges all while doing curls, presses, etc. I am just not quite sure how to…

TOTES AGREE! sadly the people who do freak out are the ones who don't stick with MFP or view it as a diet and not a lifestyle change. Completely banning yourself from junk food is not always feasible and why should it be?! I have lost 40lbs and I did not do by giving up alcohol or the occasional ice cream or fast food. I…

I am a budgeter by nature! We spend appox100 a week. This is for two adults and a 6 year old we have half of the time. I plan meals that can double as lunches the next day, casseroles, bigger pots of pasta, extra chicken on the grill etc. I plan meals for a whole week and can usually get the meals for around 50 bucks. the…

100!!!!!!!!!

But you aren't meeting your macros...you are always way off. Also I think the point about losing weight faster is in the long term. I owuld be concerned about that much weight loss in such a short time. Its not smart and its not something you can keep going. Eventually you will stall and palteau

MFP will never allow someone to go lower than 1200 calories. if something calculates lower they still put you at 1200.

I personally do not but have NUMEROUS girl friends who do and I promise they don't look bulky or big. They just claim it is a super intense workout.

I would like to see water cure my hangovers the way a nice icey fountain coke can!!!! :P

For overly concerned newbies...I have been at this almost 2 years, after knowing nothing about nutrition to start. I just followed what MFP told me to do. I eventually learned about BMR and TDEE and guess what...MFP always had my calories at the right spot...numbers just varied usually less than 10. MFP takes most of the…

My grandpa had me convinced that white cows made white milk and brown cows made chocolate milk!!! :P

I'm not new, and I am almost at my goal of 40 pounds gone! Feel free to add me!

You realize, you can not control WHERE you lose weight. If you diet it will just come off....from where ever.

I would seek medical guidance. Netting 300 cals is harming your body. People with eating disorders eat like this and end up hospitalized.

don't ruin such a good thread with actual gun control talk!

I never ate less that 1500 a day, currently at 1790 and I have lost almost 40 pounds so far. I know some of these ladies are much shorter than I am, so maybe thats why...but I can't imagine someone eating soooo little. Doesn't sound healthy to me!

I still eat boxed cereal (not always the healthy whole grain organic kind!) and macaroni and cheese (the kind in the box with the pouch of powder cheese!) These two are my weaknesses!!!!

voice of reason. He is a 4th grader he was sprinting and is now winded. Also, let me say again he is a 4th grader, who knows what the teacher told him! My kid comes home saying that her teacher said the darnedest things, and as I teacher I know thats not true for a teacher to say! Kids misunderstand lots of what gets said…

I didn't. Where did you get this?

I swear by EmergenC packets when I get sick. I think they help severity and duration. Have you not gotten a flu shot? Thats the only sure way to figh the flu.

well I use the SportLine 960 and its a watch only. It DOES track calories, but I find it is ONLY accurate for running and walking I think the HRM and the distance work together to track my calories. I only say this because I wear it for running and it gives me calories similar to what I have been told for running...but I…

how can you truly love someone if you find them that unattractive? It can't last. Physical connections are very important, without them it would be like dating a BFF or sibling (two people I do love with my whole heart).

I was in my Body Works class (weight and body toning stuff) and had some newbies. Its a very active class using handweights. Yes they are light weight but we do 100-200 reps for toning and squat and lunge while doing so and it can take a toll...two girls just sat down. Didn't leave...just sat (in the middle) and watched…

I learned to love running when I became successful. I started thinking I had to be fast and go far. Then I trained with a group who placed me in a 5:2 group based on my running time and speed. We ran for 5 minutes (I am thinking it was close to a 10.5-11 minute pace) and then walked for 2 minutes. This really worked for me…

This makes me sad. Some people will leave a site like this due to attitudes like this. It has become a very useful tool to me...luckily I know what to ignore. I would hate to think we are turning away people who could benefit from MFP due to attitudes like this. Yes, they may be new, maybe they act like they know it all…
