Foods that make you feel good!
Does anyone have a food they eat all the time that just makes you feel good? I've found that eating raw spinach makes me feel good. I also love to eat dove's dark chocolate. That's an instant pick-me-up right there! ;)

My calves are getting BIGGER!
Ok, I'm loosing inches from everywhere except for my calves. They've gone up. :( My calves were a huge motivation for me to start loosing some weight. Unfortunately larger calves (and legs) run in my family, and consequently I never can find boots that fit! Any exercises that are good for slimming them down? Currently I'm…

How many calories are you guys burning from C25k?
Tonight I started on week 3 day 1. (I've been interval running for awhile now, so it seems like a good starting place) I was a little surprised that I only burned 240. I'm so excited to start getting on up there!! Freind requests are welcome! :)

The 4000 calorie vs 2000 calorie argument...:)
I was talking to a friend about fitness, and he argued me up and down that 4000 calories is the "right" number of calories to eat in a day. I told him I believed a healthy amount for someone not trying to lose weight is around 2000. He acted like I was crazy, and said that eating 2000 would be starving yourself. Now I…

Running: Does this happen to you?
I don't usually run for more than 3-4 minute increments. However, today I decided to run- walked 20/ then ran 16. I felt a lot of pain in my chest that continued for about 30 minutes afterwards. Also, the instant I stopped running I had this weird sensation come over the top half of my body. It felt like a spasm of heat…

Quick Breakfast Ideas
I eat oatmeal every morning, but I'd like to start diversifiying my breakfast a little bit. I need something easy to prepare and please no eggs or cereal. I have to go many hours before I eat again and eggs and cereal just don't fill me up. What are your favorites?

Vanilla Silk Almond Milk
So for a long time now, I've heard great things about this stuff! I bought some at wal-mart last night, got home, tried it, and wanted to spit it out. It tasted horrible to me. I guess I was expecting more of a milky flavor? What do you guys think of it? Do you like the regular better than the vanilla flavor?

How do you define "cheating?"
Do you believe it's cheating if you eat junk food all day but stay within your calorie goal? Or is it only cheating when you go over your calorie goal. For example, for the last three days I've had french fries, but I made sure I only ate one serving and stayed under in calories. Or a more extreme example, for one day you…

Does anyone else weigh themselves 2-3 times a day?
I know I shouldn't, but I can't seem to stop myself. I think it's curiousity more than anything. I did get very dissapointed when one morning I had weighed 3 more pounds than usual, but I guess it was all water weight because it's gone now!

My new love: 40 calorie fudgcicles!
Ok, so I know it's not the best thing to eat, but I just tried them today and they are so good! If your craving something sweet, it's a much better alternative than some things. I'd recommend them to people looking for a light snack. :)

Which is correct? My treadmill or mfp?
I usually walk at 3.2 mph for 20 mins at night and my treadmill tells me I burn 100 calories. However, MFP tells me I only burn about 65 calories. In the mornings I alternate between running and walking and the calories for that are way less on MFP also. I've been pretty hungry and crabby all day because I'm not eating as…

Lean Cuisines, Smart Ones, and Progresso Soup?
Ok, I'm so guilty of being a processed food adict. I don't think I'll ever attempt to be a clean eater. These foods are so convienient, yet I'm wondering if eating so much of them will hurt my diet? I usually eat everything out of a box or a can, unless I decide to grill chicken or fish. It's just so easy and simple, and…

It's 7:15 and 460 more calories to go?
Ok, I usually eat around 2,000 plus calories a day. I'm eating 1450 calories today (net 1200) and have around 460 calories to go. (A bit more than that because it was hard for me to stomach all of my progresso soup and cottage cheese. yuck!) My question is should I go on to bed with having not eaten the 460 since I'm full?…

Day 1- Fitnesspal App
This is day 1 of me eating healthier. I have everything set up on my Iphone. I thought I might come on this website for extra support,but none of my information is on this website. Is there anyway we can make our information appear on both the website and our phones?
