D: Does anyone have any tips for me so I can do my best to pass the Washington State Drivers exam? Obviously drive legally - so no sarcastic answers please. Keep calm, come to a complete stop before the…

Eating clean, then not.
So here's my situation. I ate perfectly clean for 2 days. Under calorie goal, a bit over on fiber, a bit over on protein. Fish, not red meat. Nothing deep fried, no take out. Lots of fruit and water only. I'd workout daily. Well I got really busy so (stupidly) I sorta went back to old eating habits: Taco Bell, some McDs,…

How do you eat your oatmeal?
The question is basically the subject. I hate plain oatmeal but I'm trying to shake up my eating habits. What can I add to oatmeal to make it tolerable and healthy? I've noticed a lot of people add cinnamon and milk.. exactly how much cinnamon do you put in to make it taste right? Thank you, thank you, thank you! :)

First Challenge - 7/1/13 - Guilt me not.
Hey everyone! Sorry for the semi late posting, but I had a lot of chores to get to this morning. It's 102+ degrees today so I had to bring all my animals inside so they wouldn't get over heated. ANYWAYS. This weeks challenge was suggested by elispeli and after the week I've had, I figured it would be a great idea! What's…

Hello, I'm just now getting serious about a healthy life style and weight loss so my question is what sort of Heart Rate Monitor should I get? I want one that I can wear during exercise (not all day) that will accurately track the calories I've burned. Any ideas? Thanks! :)

I don't know what to think.
I'm starting to feel like MFP is just as bad as the "real world". There's just as many bullies here as in real life. There's just as many people who think they're better because they're down to their fit and you're not. There's just as many people who try to convince you that every set back in life is just an excuse you…

NON-SUPPORTIVE PEOPLE - rant..
I love my grandpa to death but he loves ice cream. He literally just brought home two large tubs, one small tub, and two bar boxes of ice cream. This is why I give up and fall off the wagon every time. I hate it. And there really is no such thing as eating ice cream in moderation because I have no will power to stop adding…

Vegan Brownies! :D
Okay, so my friend and I decided to make Vegan Brownies (for a reason we don't know, besides being awesome cooks) and they actually tasted pretty great! I myself love chocolate but I don't love that icky feeling I get after eating it. These brownies are perfect, though, because they aren't as teeth cringing sweet!…
