very easy: chicken muffins
The purpose is a course (every kind) hightly proteic and low carbs. Good carbs, which are oats (I used the old fashioned kind) and sesame seeds. That's a different & fun way to eat chicken breast, something that I no longer eat the common grilled way, which reminds me of ALL the sad diets I gave up in past years :) NB: I…

let's talk about long term results and maintenance
I would like to share my (not uncommon!) experience. I have been doing a feverish yo - yo within a weight range of 55-62 kg ( 121-136 lbs) over the last 2 - 3 years. It may seem not a big deal of yo yo but being quite small, a couple of kg actually changes my appeareance a lot (=1 size) and I lose and gain the same +2kg…

does anyone use a different website to log workout sessions?
Keep it simple should be the mantra when it comes to track long term, as I aim to do. I found a different website to track my training, endomondo.com. It provides extra details compared to mfp, and honestly, I was quite bored. A new log style prompts my motivation. Can you relate? do you use different websites other than…

How could SWITCHING BAD eating habits be a positive thing? The reality show is based on entertainment (shameful) rules that do not match at all HEALTH and sense. what do…

former cardio queens... how did you find the motivation for
I know, a million dollar question. I'm a cardio addicted, positively speaking. I need to run my kms. I like it itself, endorphins, mood effects and the kcals burned as well, which provide me extra guilty free foods. I'm muscular weak. I do not have the possibility to train my muscle out of a gym (and free!!) unlike my…

do you rely on MFP calories burning for cardio?
Usually I log my stat. bike and running session. BUT I know that the kcal/min you burn are related not only to effort and duration but to your BODY WEIGHT as well. The point?

the belly issue again and again :)
just for the record: even at my lowest weight (skinny arms, skinny legs, skinny face) I've been swearing onto my round belly. It wasn't ... and it isn't ...neither just water retention not excessive skin. Well, I've never worked a lot on crunches and similar, so my questions are: * is it possible that - despite a very low…

your outdoor running habits
