Hi, I'm from Toronto! I'll add you. Hello fellow Ontarians! :happy:

I'm going to make this - thanks for the idea! :smile:

Cool, I hadn't heard of that app before. I am going to download it and give it a try...I walk a LOT and have always been curious about how many kilometers I do in a day.

Agreed 100%

What a great story! Congratulations!! :smile:

It sounds like you found out early which is a great thing. PCOS is a completely manageable condition and does not necessarily mean you will have infertility issues. I think a lot of women on this board have it as I've seen lots of topics about PCOS. It's good you're here, you can learn a lot about how nutrition and…

It's possible...I use a HRM and I burn about 400-500 calories an hour when biking and I'm 5'5 female, 138 pounds. I am sure in 90 minutes a 200+ pound 6'4 man could burn around 1100.

A well balanced, healthy vegan diet shouldn't have to supplement with any vitamin except B12 as that is the only vitamin that you can only get from meat products. I track my protein and iron here on MFP and I am ALWAYS over my daily recommended intake. I am usually at around 150 - 175% iron and around 80 grams of protein…

Another great vegan documentary on Netflix is "Hungry for Change". I am a nutrition junkie as well - not completely vegan, as I still do eat a bit of goats cheese and eggs, but I will get there eventually. Vegucated was pretty good, but I am less interested in the "cruelty to animals" vegan videos (just personally, not my…

You look stunning!!!

It is important to be eating enough which is at LEAST 1200 calories (though in my opinion that is still too low). If you are finding that you're not very hungry, try eating more healthy calorie dense foods like avocados, nuts, nut butters, eggs with yolk, cheese, etc.

It's perfectly fine for her to keep on logging....she's reached maintenance, she wants to gain weight healthily during pregnancy, she understands that you have to up calories with each trimester. Why should she have to stop logging and eat intuitively? This is hard to do for someone with a predisposition to over eating…

I am not sure how healthy or unhealthy your dad was eating before you inspired him to change his eating habits, but I'd say if a tortilla wrap is what it takes to get the good stuff (veggies, lean meats or whatever it is you're putting in them) in him, then stick with that for now. You could always switch from a white wrap…

Coriander. If there is even a sprinkle of coriander on my food, it's all I can taste and I hate it!! Barf.

I have a polar FT4 and have never had issues...have you contacted the company?

I hope so because this would be my pick as well.

I agree with most here. Your body rocks, but the bottoms don't flatter you. They look simultaneously too big AND too small somehow.

All of this! Excellent post and great advice here...listen to this person!

Me too! I am also amazed at the number of people I have come across on MFP who say they "hate the taste of water". I'm sorry, what?! Who knew that was a thing...? :ohwell:

Whaaaaaaaat?!? That is amazing!!! Great results.

This is what I recommend as well...when I first started I would indulge in the less healthy treats that I loved like chips, milk chocolate, ice cream. Now that I have been at this for so long my entire way of eating/outlook on food has changed and I get a lot of satisfaction from being able to satisfy my cravings with…

The actual foods that I ate weren't that far off from how I eat now (slightly less healthy of course)...I just had no concept of portion sizes/portion control. My "snacks" were often probably around 1,000 calories - a huge bowl of tortilla chips with guacamole and a crapload of dark chocolate covered almonds were a staple…

When people (meaning strangers) call me "Hun" it makes me want to punch them in the face. I can't stand it.

Interesting! But this thread just reinfected me with the travel bug.

In my experience, yes...this is exactly how you do it! There is nothing wrong with wanting a boyfriend (I'm in the same boat right now too...been single about 2 years after ending a long relationship), but in my experience it always just kind of happens when you're not actively looking for it/thinking about it. I find that…

Protein is one macro I always intentionally try to go over. MFPs protein recommendations are pretty low.

I would recommend baking it for about half that time, personally. At 40 minutes you may end up with dry, rock hard tofu cubes. In my experience it's really easy to overcook...and you can't really UNDERCOOK it (heck, I've eaten it raw before) so I would err on the side of less time.

Inception. YAWN. And not as mindblowing as everyone made it out to be.

I agree with other posters who have said that you can make healthier versions of your favourite foods. It actually feels like quite a victory knowing you can make something delicious that is actually doing wonderful things for your body! I also say: keep forcing it down. Believe me, your tastes will change. At least mine…

I log it as Les Mills BodyPump...it is in the system under cardio exercises. I wear a heart rate monitor to gague how many calories I've burned.
