Count me in... I'm not going to pick up the Android app just yet, I'll stick with the program for a few weeks before doing that, but it looks interesting.

QFT... Since I started reading nutrition labels (shortly before I started on MFP) it's been awful. lol. Some of my favorite foods have since had to be culled from the diet. Oh well, sometimes to get what we want in life we must make sacrifices.

RICE method works great, and if it's still hurting in a couple of days go see your doctor. You can also take ibuprofen or Advil (naproxen) if you're able. I haven't tried 30DS but I experienced something similar when I started Insanity. The first injury wasn't my knee, but a pulled glute or something, when I went into…

WTG!

I only have Wii Fit and Wii Sports as far as games geared toward fitness goes, but I have a few other games that I get up off the couch to play, or rather, will play now that the Wii is actually hooked back up. :D Going to GameStop tomorrow, any recommendations on what I should look for?

I was curious about the second question as well; but due to budget cuts, travel to Myrtle Beach, any time in the foreseeable future, is postponed.

QFT... I have never been a morning person and eating right after I wake up will generally make me sick. I generally have to wait at least an hour or two before I even can eat anything, but even then I'm not generally hungry for a couple more hours.

The after-opening expiration really depends on your fridge. The fridge I have keeps everything nice and cold, the old one though not so much. While I personally don't trust anything after it's expiration date, I drink down my almond milk too quickly to notice. :D The stamped expiration date is if you keep it in the fridge…

QFT! And I want to be able to find the thread again. :D

Excellent advise and thanks for sharing.

Just found this topic and I want to save it, it's a great read!

Saving these, will see if the real chef of the house wants to make them... if not, I might try it myself.

I'll be 30 in less than a month. :D

Actually, hogs wallow in mud to cool off.

Excellent post, shelbyj72! Thanks for sharing it with all of us.

Welcome, Lindsey! MFP is a great resource to get you on your path to fitness. :D

I really enjoyed that, thanks for sharing. :D

I'm in. :D

Woot! Keep at it! I'm hoping for the day to come when I end up doing something similar. :D

Team 11 FTW!

Woot! Congratulations Mrs. Gibson! :D

Source on this statement or is it just out of your nether regions? Honestly. I guess this is the perfect topic to out myself as an actual Cannabis advocate. While I don't endorse anyone to do anything illegal, I do follow the science behind Cannabis and its myriad of uses and Hemp could save the world. First off, let's…

Very cool, dragonflydi! That second one really made me chuckle. I'm gonna go make my own topic for my NSV today. :D

Welcome to all of the new faces! Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like. I too recently started on my fitness journey with MFP to help me along the way and, while it's still early in my chosen exercise regime, I have a very good feeling about accomplishing my goals with the help of the people I've met here on MFP!

The 1200 cal/day threshold is to keep yourself out of "starvation mode" - which is where your body will put pretty much everything you eat into storage (fat). If MFP is recommending you eat 1600 cal/day to get to your desired goal, I believe that's 1600 cal/day without any exercise but I could be wrong.

Eat your exercise calories and don't stray under 1200 cal/day.

Welcome to MFP, kazcan! I'm fairly new still myself, but I've found that this site is an invaluable resource for getting yourself into shape! Already I've had some great encouragement from others here and it's helped me to stick with my own chosen fitness program. Admittedly, I'm only on day 2 of this 60 day program, but I…

Sounds good to me, although I generally weigh in on Monday's I have no issue weighing myself twice a week. :happy: Feel free to send me a friend request.
