Need new friends
Hello! I've been on MFP since 2010 and I've managed to lose about 15lbs and then gain some of it back (lose & gain vicious cycle). I was just looking at my friends list and most of them haven't logged-in in a while! And I know for a fact that none of them 'quit MFP' because they have reached goal! I need to find new…

deep thoughts on Skinny *****
Have you read the book 'Skinny *****' by Rory Freedman & Kim Barnouin? What are your thoughts on it? Do you think most of it is made up or the real deal? Is it all about 'animal rights' you think? I know we have to take everything we read/see nowadays with a grain of salt... BUT..I just read the chapter on meat and I'm so…

Typical day living with a non-calorie counting spouse
I know I'm not alone. My husband started a new job a few months ago. He works 6am-2pm. It's nice, he used to work evening shift so now he's at home before me and the kids. We get to spend evenings together now! If he doesn't like what's in the fridge for dinner ...he will make dinner and it's ready by the time the kids and…

Yummy Tofu Burgers!!! Try them you won't be dissapointed!

Try mixing in cummin or hot peppers, yummy too! Tofu Burgers (12 servings) 1 lbs firm tofu, crumbled 1 small carrot, grated 1/2…

P90X Lean- is sequence of workouts important?
I started doing P90X. Do you think the sequence of workouts is important? I plan to do the cardio workouts in the early morning. Then, for example, Sunday I like to go to the gym because I have more time so I want to do shoulders & legs. YogaX is quite long so I would do that one Saturday. Abs I would do on my lunch hour.…

HRM- truth? Eye Opener? ... Bummer!
I know.. I know. Don't get me wrong... I love working out! I'm a workout junkie! I get really cranky if I don't fit in my daily workout! But, I recently bought a HRM and I'm very dissapointed at how little calories are burned when I workout! The only time I felt good about the calories burned and felt it was accurate was…
