Let me introduce you....(food porn)
....to the ponza rotta. My boss is springing for these today for the group, I ALMOST ordered the deluxe, but settled on the *ahem* healthier canadian bacon & mushroom. I have NO idea how many calories are in this magestic creature, but they are oh so tasty. The only thing missing will be a frothy malt beverage... :drinker:…

What's your Awesome?
SO.MUCH. negativity and anger in the forums the past couple days. I thought a more positive thread might help a little. What's your awesome from today so far? Big or small, what's something good that has happened or gone right? For me, in a meeting today a product manager related something he was trying to explain to beer…

Body Composition/Metabolism "Reader"?!?
Happy monday my MFpals! I have the opportunity to do a metabolism scan with a "health food" store that came to do their spiel at my workplace. They have a machine that takes "current readings" at several places on the body and determines lean body mass, RMR and other things...so they claim. Anyone else seen or heard of…

So I performed an experiment with my FT4.....
....I wore the thing all day Saturday to Sunday 12 to almost 12...it ended up being 23 hours and 40 some minutes. Most of the time I forgot I was wearing it until it started coming down, which speaks well of the strap comfort! Anyway, my activity level was typical for a Saturday WITHOUT a workout, running after kids,…

Thoughts on slow progress?

Being that we just started, I thought I wasn't overdoing it yesterday but since I have not really lifted in a looooong time I am a little tender…

Upped my calorie goal - Doing the right thing?
I've been reading many many posts lately about people stalling out because they are eating too few calories. I've been stalled for quite a few weeks now and decided that it's time to try a change. Previously I had my MFP goals set to lose 1 lb per week, activity level set to sedintary, then I would eat back most or all of…

Low Sodium Instant Oatmeal - Does it Exist?
I am really starting to like oatmeal in the mornings. Great way to fuel the fire and stay full until at least mid-morning. Trouble is, I make it at work, home is crazy in the morning getting the 3 other people plus myself out the door on time. Have any of you run across instant oatmeal that isn't LOADED with sodium? Now…

New to MFP
Hello, I'm new to the site and could use a few buddies for encouragement, and I'll return the favor! I used to be 30 lbs lighter, 3.5 years and 2 kids later the 30 lbs are back. It's time to get back into better shape so my girls have a mom that has a more positive body image and that can go to the pool without wanting to…
