what in the world to eat??
I worked out like crazy today, no particular reason--was watching a movie at the gym and stayed longer than usual. Anyway, it's 5pm and I have like 750 calories left. What the heck should I eat? I never have this many calories left..

fake Uggs?
This is super random, but anyone know of any cute Ugg-style boots? I've loved my Uggs but now I'm really embracing my veggie lifestyle & refuse to buy anymore of their products. Just want something warm, cozy, cruelty-free..

first time restaurant eating since MFP
So, I'm heading out to dinner tonight--Cheesecake Factory. I am just hoping I stick to my plan to avoid the bread basket!! I'm planning on just a side salad & something from the new Skinnylicious menu..

MFP settings help!
So I filled out my profile, said I want to lose 2lb per week, I exercise 6x per week 45 minutes a day (at least), then MFP says I'll lose .9 a week? huh? what am I missing?

HRM & crazy discrepancies
Well, I decided to get a HRM. Just went to Target and got this Gaiam one. I really like it! So, I so this hill routine on the ellipitcal a lot, and this is how different all the calorie counters are: MFP-- 300 calories machine--- 160 calories HRM--- 215 calories Obviously, I am going to log all my workouts using the HRM,…

elliptical overestimates calories?
So, I've been doing this "hill" routine on the elliptical that my trainer recommended. When I did it the other day, the machine said I burned 160 calories. Then I come to MFP, put in 30min on elliptical and it tells me over 300 calories! I know I need to get a HRM, but you guys would prob go with the lower # right?
-
best HRM?
Can you guys recommend a good, and not TOOOO pricey HRM? Also, how does it accurately calculate your calories burned? (sorry that's probably a silly question, but not sure I understand how that works..)

30DS results?
Hi, So I just started 30DS tonight & just wondering what some of your results were after the 30 days? Also, I plan to substitute the DVD for my strength training for this month, but continue w/my usual cardio in AM and DVD in the evening. I don't think the DVD provides quite enough cardio. So, I'd love to hear how it…

IBS??
Anyone else have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)? If so, have you found any certain foods trigger or lessen the symptoms? I completely overhauled my diet about 4 weeks ago, and I still feel that my symptoms are the same as before. It's soo frustrating, but if I could find more foods that might suppress/relieve symptoms, I'd…

I resisted!!
Soo, after gym and some errands today, I was craving an egg and cheese on a bagel from Dunkins. So I logged onto here, and checked the calories, and decided it wasn't worth 550 calories. This would've never happened a month ago..I would've gotten it and some munchkins on the side too!

Whole Foods!
So I just made my 2nd trip to WF today, and picked up some more delicious things. I was wondering what are some of your faves that you buy there? Oh I did have one disappointment, it was WH's own brand, 365..this vegan frozen pizza, and it was terrible. I was disappointed b/c it looked so yummy!

booooo such a bad food day
wellllll, today was 3 weeks and one day into my new healthy eating plan and I seriously fell off the wagon :( I ate over 2600 calories, when a normal day for me is about 1200-1250ish. I am so annoyed with myself, yet I also did enjoy eating some yummy things I had missed..I am just feeling really torn. I DO want to be…

anyone near a Cosi Restaurant?
if so, I have a great recommendation. I went there this past weekend after doing some research on their website. The roasted veggie sandwich is seriously SO delicious! It has 330 calories, 9g of fat and is definitely fully. I highly recommend it!

calories in "junk food"
I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question, but I am actually curious... If I were to eat 1200 calories of whole, healthy foods in a day, or to eat 1200 calories of candy, fries, fast food, donuts, etc..BUT kept within the 1200 calorie goal, would I still lose weight? I have no intention of doing this, just…

starter vegan ideas
Hi: I'm a vegetarian debating becoming totally vegan, and was wondering if anyone else was in the same situation? I don't eat meat at all..no fish either, mostly because I just don't agree with eating animals. I am not sure if I am as morally opposed to dairy, as the animals aren't killed. However, they are still treated…
