*Serious subject* - Protection while walk/jog/running in you
By the way it's supposed to say "in your neighborhood" but I ran out of room... :noway: ***DISCLAIMER***!!!!!!! :noway: PLEASE!!! If you are one of those people who feel so confident enough to w/j/r (walk/jog/run) in your neighborhood or around where you live WITHOUT any sort of personal protection, DO NOT POST SO HERE.…

Your #1 Thing...
... on your holiday wish list. What is it? Juvenile, I know, but my husband asked me to compile a list of a couple of different things under $100 I would like and probably wouldn't buy for myself. So, what's your <$100 thing you would most treasure someone gifting to you? Mine ended up being a pair of Puma Women's Complete…

Haunty ghosty Halloweenie stuff and the like...
I thought just for fun, it would be entertaining to talk about ghost stories in an adult way. No, not "adult"-adult. Sheesh. Now, I don't consider myself a big believer in the supernatural. There's stuff that happens everyday that I can't explain, but I'm not going to contribute that to ghosts or demonic forces... or…

Inappropriate! - My rant...
I did look for a random rant thread but did not find a recent one - feel free to post your own rant here if you'd like to do so. I just had a plumber come out to look at a leak under my kitchen sink. From a well-known company, not a Mom-and-Pop type business. While he's writing out an estimate I am going through old…

Iron deficient - and I'm TIRED of supplements!
Yeah, so... iron supplements have unpleasant side effects. I'm tired of having to take them. I'm highly anemic (I have a PCV of 10-12 normally) and am tired of taking extra pills. I try so hard to eat more red meat and leafy greens but on a normal day I get about 30-40% of my RDA of iron. Just putting it out there in case…

To log or not to log... that is the question...
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune... Oh sorry, I got carried away. :) No really, though. I see some people that will log mundane activities as exercise. While I would like to use the calories I assume I'm burning by cleaning house or washing my car, I just can't justify…

Do your pets exercise with you?
OK so I guess this is canine-specific. I can't imagine a fish playing frisbee with anyone (although I'd pay to see that!). So do your canine companions exercise with you? If so, what activities do you do? What breed is your dog? I'm the proud mother of 2 Boston Terriers and a Wirehair Dachshund. Wednesday (the wiener)…

Do you pay attention to WHEN you eat your cals?
I noticed I am an evening eater. I can get away with like 300-500 cals for breakfast, morning snack, and lunch, then BLAM! Dinner and evening snacks are always where I get the bulk of my cals. I enjoy looking at other user's diaries to see if anyone else has the same eating pattern and what their weight loss is. Also, it…

Why am I so hungry??
I was pondering this and thought I'd pose this question to my fellow MFPers: Today I have been VORACIOUSLY hungry. Not just like, "Oh I'm bored, I think I want a snack" hungry, more like, "OMG if I don't eat something now my stomach is going to digest itseeeelllllffffff". I'd like to believe it's my metabolism. The past…

Motivation
So, I know for me that motivation varies from day to day. Today, I was motivated by Jason Mayhem Miller. I'm not a fan of UFC, but a friend came over last night and we watched reruns of Bully Beatdown. Voila, my new celebrity crush. So this morning, before I ran out to the park, I watched a video of him whooping someone's…

Do you use apps?
I actually started MFP through the android app, so I'm curious to see if other users have the same app affinity as I do. Currently using MFP's mobile app along with something called Cario Trainer to track my exercise. Love both the apps because they make it easier to keep me on track. Share? ;)

Hi!
Joined a few days ago just on the mobile app (I LOVE THAT THING!!) and am just now getting access to the full website. At 30, I've found myself consistently weighing anywhere from 190-220 most of my adult life. About 4 years ago I went on a drastic weight loss regimen on my own and lost a total of 76lbs - from 240 down to…
