I love my chiro and just have to say that regular doctors malpractice and "mess up" all the time, but it's not publicized. a chiro messing up is extremely rare, but unfortunately takes away from those who really work wonders! I highly recommend you see the chiro!

sweet, what's your proposal?

Ugh - I just fessed up to my July 4 indulgence - three hotdogs, raspberry vodka and pineapple juice and rum... ON TOP of my already balanced three meals for the day. liquor is packed with cals.... let's get back on track!

I don't know about what foods to eat, but I highly suggest seeing a Shaman (if you're comfortable with that sort of thing) or seeing a reiki master. It's helped me tremendously. Look into alternative medicine!! Don't forget chiropractic!

awesome, thanks!

I just started the Biggest Loser Power Sculpt and it's a challenge! Does anyone know how many calories are burned during this dvd (preferably on each level?)?? Also, this is great using the weights, but I should probably add in some cardio (even though I'm out of breath during the power sculpt)!...any suggestions? THANKS!!

wow, awesome! Thank you!

Why does the "calories remaining" change when I add in an exercise - I know the formula is: calories + calories burned - caolories consumed = calories remaining.. but why would I want to consume all the calories I just burned off? Why doesn't MFP just subtract the calories I consume? am I supposed to use up "calories…

So, I'm officially on day four here and I must say that I love it! I don't know if it's just a mind trick, but since I've been cutting calories and eating smaller meals more often, I've noticed a difference in just how full I feel... last night I went out to eat and I had just a turkey club sandwich (no mayo, no french…

How do you like the 30 day Shred video? I picked up the Biggest Loser exercise video just last night...

I found this on: www.cookinglight.com Ground Beef vs. Ground Turkey: For backyard barbecue, your first instinct may be to choose ground turkey rather than ground round. But unless it's made only from breast meat, ground turkey isn't the low-fat option you might think it is. In fact, the calorie and fat amounts in ground…

This is a really hard situation, but you have to remember that it's very hard to break old habits - and even with the reality of the heart issues in the family, sometimes it may actually /make/ him eat more (i.e. before a diet when you think "I'll start tomorrow, so I'll have more today because soon I wont' be able to). It…

I recently started taking cereal to work - I measure out half a cup and put it in those new ziplock twist and seal containers and then I got a mini size thermos that I store the milk in (sometimes I use soy milk - more flavor and fewer calories and will defenitely last better on a 12 hour shift than regular milk). I also…

Someone brought in muffins and cinnamon rolls all fresh from the bakery... I resisted though!

Hi! This site is great and you'll love the support from all the people here! Make use of the food and exercise trackers and just check in a couple times a day and you'll stay on track! Yaaay!

I'm getting married August 23, 2008 (aaahhh sooo close) and that was my reason for joining, but just after a couple of days here, I'm realizing that it's definitely something I'll stick with even after the wedding! Congratulations and Welcome! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

Hi! I just started two days ago and I LOVE the support from people on here - it's so much easier to stay focused (and yes, I need to stay focused even after a day of trying to make a change)! The food tracker is really crazy, I decided to be honest with myself and write down everything - I reluctantly put down those three…

Those are fantastic rewards! I haven't even thought about setting any - goals are kind of hard to look forward to without a nice rewards like those - hmmm I'll have to work on a list too!

I've never been a runner, i.e. once around the block and I either get winded or just plain bored! At the gym, I can do the elliptical for a few miles, but same problem - even with music or some other distraction, I just get bored. People talk about the high they get from running - but how do I make it to that point without…

I'm a coffee drinker (okay, okay, addict). I've been good about weaning myself off of the caffeine so that now I don't get the headaches in the afternoon if I miss the morning cup... but what about weight loss? I've heard conflicting things - coffee to lose the appetite (much like how smoking works)...but caffeine works…

WOW! Thank you to EVERYONE who has responded; I'm getting emotional just thinking of all the great support from complete strangers! The advice is wonderful and I'll take it all!

Thanks for responding! My goal right now is 2lbs per week, so 10lbs by the wedding - not ideal, but like you said, I don't want to be unreasonable and just stress myself out. That is a FANTASTIC idea about retaking photos later!!! I never even thought about that : ) My fiance is a photographer, so I'll just insist on a…

Hello! I'm new to Fitness Pal and it seems pretty awesome. I've always been active, but could never seem to get slim-slim. Then, after a pretty wretched experience, I went on all sorts of anti-depressant and anxiety medications and gained 50 pounds in 6 months!!! Needless to say, that about put me off the deep end more…
