It's in our genes!
http://devour.com/video/the-science-of-laziness/ Stumbled across this video, and found it rather enlightening. It's crazy to think just how much our genes affect our daily life. But what this video doesn't mention is that our daily life also affects our genes. That's right - it's bidirectional. So, while being lazy may be…

Resetting intial weight?
Does anyone know if there's a way to do this?? When I joined MFP waaay back when, I was at 165. I played around with it for a while, eventually quit, and ended up getting up to 204.

Help Needed - Calorie Readings
Hey y'all, I need a little help with a bit of a conundrum I've got. So I recently purchased an elliptical - a Schwinn Journey 4.0 if that matters - and have been using it a bit more sporadically than I'd like. I would spend anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes on it, and the readings would say I'd burnt 150-325 calories in that…

Well, it happened...
I officially hit 200lbs for the first time since my freshman year of high school. It's been coming for months... I moved across the country, moved in with the BF, and took on more work than I know how to handle. I eat out all the time in between job #1 and job #2, go on late night ice cream runs with the boy to try and…
