I got nothing! I bought an eliptical for my house (just moved in 6 months ago) and I have not really been using my eliptical. Signed up for MFP yesterday so that I could try and log my caloric intake and exercise, but I still have not gotten on the equipment yet. Maybe logging my exercise here will help with my…

Try dicing up some apples to throw in with it. I prefer my oatmeal to be cooked though. That way when you put the apples (and cinnamon) in, the apples soften a little. I also like brown sugar too. Not as many calories as regular sugar and it sweetens it up.

I don't have Diabetes....yet. My father in Insulin dependent and now on Dyalisis. My grandmother died of it (also Dyalisis) and now my cousin (the same age as me) was diagnosed with Type 1. I took a health test from work and it said that I was at risk of developing it, like it could happen soon. My levels were too high.…

This is how I heard it explained by a personal trainer. When the body gets a good workout (ei you are actually sore from working out), you have created tiny "tears" in the muscles. Your body will naturally heal these tears, by using extra calories, to heal the muscles. This in turn creates larger muscles. Over time, this…

Calories are tracked based on your intake. The calories from exercise results in calories being expelled or reduced.. The more exercise calories you have, means that you can actually eat more from food while still maintaining your diet. For example, if your tracker suggests that you consume 2000 calories a day and that you…

Crockpots are a good way to cook when you are short on time: My receipe for a good roast with very little sodium. Buy a roast (any will do), ask the butcher for a length of roast rope - free to tie the roast. Take it home and make slits in the roast about 1 in apart. Fill the openings with dried basil on both sides of the…

Healthy weight loss is obtained over time. What you are doing is likely to change your weight in the short-term, but do you really want to maintain this "diet" in the long-term. Small changes in lifestyle behaviors are likely to produce higher long-term results. For example, skipping breakfast may seem like a good…
