Starbucks Recommendation?
I am meeting a friend at Starbucks tonight, and I am very unfamiliar with their menu. Can anyone suggest a favorite drink? I'm looking for an option with low or no calories that is completely caffeine free. (As opposed to decaf) I'd prefer not to do something boring like bottled water. We plan on hanging out and chatting…

Who was here in January of 2014?
The 2015 goal thread got me thinking, where will all these people be in another year, and how many of us will reach our goals. So who was here last January, setting goals for 2014? What were they, and did you accomplish them? My goal was to stay on the horse for a year and get down to 130 pounds. I have logged 322…

So I decided this week's challenge would be a sleep challenge! In addition to the goal of 3500 calories burned this week, I challenge everyone…

Anyone ever use similar sites to MFP?
I have a RL friend (we've been friends for 20 years) who recently decided to use the LoseIt website. She's been super anti-calorie counting for as long as I've known her, and I only wish I could have gotten her on MFP before she got started on Loseit. Now she's landed there, and is familiar with that site, and inputed a…

Martial Arts Question
I am starting a gung fu class next week. The class is 90 minutes twice a week, all ages.

Question about exersize and calorie burn
I have a mini exersize cycle I use while at the computer or watching TV as an easy way to burn more calories in addition to circuit training for endurance and strength training.

Ladies - question about TOM
My usual cycle is 32-36 days, not super regular, but I always start 2 weeks after I ovulate. Normal for me is pretty heavy and crampy especially for the first 3 days. This month everything started out normal, but I was done on day 6 (usually 8-9 days is normal for me) On day 8 I ovulated, and on day 14 I started bleeding…

My favorite joke of all time
What did the mouse do when it got swallowed by an elephant? Wait for it. Wait for it. Wait for it . . . . It ran around and around and around 'til it got all pooped out.

A lightbulb went on yesterday
I've been having a really hard week focusing this week. I mean really hard. I've been tired, lazy, apathetic, and unmotivated. I went to bed early one night and slept for 12 hours. The thing I've been struggling with this week is grief over my friend who died a year ago today. I didn't really connect the dots until…

I need to know about your HRM!
I am really interested in getting an HRM, but am needing some information. I have an allergy to metals. My skin breaks out in a rash after exposure. The severity of the rash is determined by the type of metal and the length of exposure. For example I can't wear a wristwatch at all. So I am wondering from people who own…

Listening to your body . . .
I see this phrase thrown around quite a bit, I myself am guilty of using it on a thread just today. But I started really thinking about it after my work out today. Before I share those rambling thoughts with you, I am going to back up a bit and tell you about the last couple days. Monday night, I hung out with friends, and…
