New hand held device that scans your food (not the bar code), and reveals its nutritional values!
This would be really interesting to play around with and see how it works. Whenever I go to a restaurant that isn't a national chain, they usually don't have nutritional info which makes it harder to log. This sounds amazing. In a few years time it'll probably be even more accurate.…

Resistance Bands can be Dangerous!!
If any of you use resistance bands in your workout routine….DO NOT but the Gold’s Gym brand!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v505/SweptIntoShadows/goldsgym.jpg I’ve had mine for less than three months. I was using it and it broke, snapped back and hit me in the arm real good! Lol. It happened so fast, I didn’t have time…

This may make things a bit easier....
I've been seeing some posts lately complaining that MFP is un-useable due to all of the inaccurate/duplicate food entries. Well, that's just laziness, double check your *kitten* according to the food label. BUT, I just wanted to throw this out there in case any of you didn't already realize it. It makes things SO much…

how do you wear lingerie?
So...I guess I've always been kind of a tom boy. Never really been one to get dressed up unless totally necessary. The most I do is mascara, eyeliner and straighten my hair a couple times a week if I'm going to the bar or a party. I wanna get some lingerie and "surprise" my bf. This is probably a really dumb question…

It's my turn! -82lbs w/pics
Hi, I'm Emily. I wanted to make one of these before the end of the world....I mean year. I can be kind of long winded and I take a lil while to get my point across. So I will include a good amount of pics for those who don't feel like reading and just wanna scroll through, and just cuz it's fun to share pics :P I was in…

Do you believe?
My sister and I were never taught to believe in Santa Clause, (or the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy etc. for that matter) . Probably mainly because my mother is super religious and didn't want Christmas time to be all about gifts or whatever. I was a total brat and used to tell the kids in my day care that Santa wasn't real…

HRM Users - Question For You
Hey guys, My heart rate monitor came in the mail yesterday and I absolutely LOVED using it! I got the Polar FT7. I've been doing the P90X/Insanity Hybrid so there isn't really an option for logging that in MFP. Before I got my HRM, I could only really guess at how many calories I was been burning. Apparently my predictions…

MD, DC, VA - Rebel Race
Who wants to sign up for this?? It's in DC on October 20th. Right now the fee is $75.00 if you sign up before October 3rd. I reeeally wanna do it but not by myself lol. My goal is to complete a Tough Mudder in late 2013...so I think this will be a good steeping stone towards that. Kind of a mini mudder, only a 5K but it's…

Hard Boiled Eggs !@#$%^&
Someone please tell me the trick to making these things! Every time I make them, when I go to peel it, the shell sicks to the egg soooo much. I know you're supposed to run them under cold water right after you boil them, and that's supposed to help. But yeah, the shell still sticks to the egg like crazy and I end up losing…

Sodium...which is true??
This might be a dumb question but here goes. I have heard people on MFP say that sodium makes you retain water weight. I've also heard that sodium dehydrates you. How can both those statements be true? How can something that dehydrates you make you retain water?? Cuz wouldn't retaining water be the opposite of becoming…

Food Scale Question!
Hi people, I recently bought a food scale and it's SO great for accurately tracking my food! I use it to weigh whatever meat I'm having, chicken, fish, steak etc. For example; 4oz of skinless, boneless chicken breast. Anyways, my question is should I be doing precooked weight or should I weigh it after it's cooked? I think…

People who say this are ANNOYING!
"Oh you carry your weight well because you're tall!" "Oh it's easier for you to look skinny because you're tall!" NO, that is NOT how it works. I carry my weight well because I work out. I still weigh more than a lot of people who are "bigger" than me. It's not because I'm secretly fat and hiding it with my height. It's…
