So weird!
I was just sitting here rubbing my shoulders, and I thought "Holy crap, my shoulders feel awesome!" :noway: :laugh: It was just a weird, pleasant surprise! They felt more toned and a lot less 'cushiony', it caught me off guard! I love it! Have you ever had one of those surprising moments?

Almost cried in the dressing room...
...but not because everything was too small, as usual. Because almost everything fit! Because I put on the smallest pair of jeans that I'd been able to put on in a loooong time! I was able to put on a pair of size 14 Levi's! Granted, it was a pretty tight squeeze, but I got them on! And in just a few more pounds, they'll…

What is your favorite body part?
There has to be some part of your body that you like! I am rather fond of my butt...I think I have a nice butt. I've even had compliments on it! :happy: So come on and brag, what is it you like about your body?

Who here does Weight Watchers?
For those of you who do, I have a question. Do you count points for each item in your meal individually, or do you count the total fat, fiber, and calories for the whole meal? I ask because I just made a salad, and when I do ech item individually, I come up with 10 points for that salad. But when I did the total fat, fiber…

Why is cereal so expensive?
A box of good, healthy cereal is between $4-$5 a box...is it just me or is that crazy? Even junk cereal (which I don't eat anymore) is almost that high! I hate buying cereal but I love eating it! :grumble: Anyone have ay good ideas to sub instead of cereal? And though I know it's good for you and everyone's going to…

Please don't post spoilers
If you guys are going to start threads when Biggest Loser starts tomorrow, can you please not post spoilers in the thread title? Not all of us get to watch it at the same time, and nothing is worse than reading "_____ was eliminated!!!!!!" as a thread topic. :explode: I don't read threads until I have watched the show, but…

My scale isn't budging!
And my clothes don't feel any different. So frustrating! Makes me want to just give up, but I know that's not the answer, that will just make me feel worse. Grrrr *%&* stupid scale I hate you when you don't cooperate with me! *kicks it across the room* *whew* Okay, that feels slightly better.

Anyone else have tennis elbow?
Does anyone have any good arm exercises that will not interefere with pain from tennis elbow? It seems to be getting worse and I am trying to lay off doing anything that will hurt it more. Are there any exercises that will help with this pain? And do any of you know of any supplements that will aid in tendon health? I…

Anyone in the Dallas/Fort Worth area?
I'm sort of new around here having moved from Los Angeles in December. I am hoping to meet some cool new people, and thought that it might be fun to get to know someone from this site, that'd be a good thing to have in common, you know? i have friends from work, but that's about it. Though I love them, I'm 36 and they're…

iPhone C25K app
I found this cool app for $1.99. It's not a podcast, so you can listen to your own music while you're running! That's the reason I didn't care for the podcasts, I get bored listening to generic music in the background. It was well worth the $1.99!

Interesting bit in an article
In Women's Health magazine, I just read "Belly-Bloating Habits To Break". Researchers at the University of Massachusetts analyzed the eating habits of 500 people and ID'd common behaviors that helped make them overweight. Here's how much these naughty moves bump up your chances of becoming obese: Waiting more than 3 hours…

Back on the wagon after vacation!
Ugh, I've been on vacation for the last 10 days, and really had no self control the entire time...not that I even tried! And because of that, I gained almost 9 LBS! :laugh: But for some reason, I'm not really worried or upset about it. I had fun, enjoyed it while I could, and I'm not going to beat myself up over it! I…

I work in a pizza restaurant...
...and I'm packing dinner to take with me! :laugh: Just seems ironic! And not fair at all either, I might add. :tongue: But I know, come middle of my shift (I work from 4-10), I'm gonna be starving! And we usually go out after work for a drink on Friday nights, and I've gotten into the habit of it becoming Friday Night…

Useful iPhone app
On my iPhone, I downloaded an app a while back that I found so useful and use costantly. It's called 'Units', and it's free. I suck at math and converting things from ounces to tablespoons, etc. Say you need to know how many tablespoons are in a 1/2 cup. With this, you just enter in .5 on the line for 'cup' and it…

Ugh what a terrible weekend
The only motivation I had was to eat everything in sight. Unfortunately the monthly b*tch is here and making me miserable. All I want to do is be alone, lay around and eat! Go away already so I can get back to normal! :explode:

I fit into my goal pants!
I was going to hang them up for inspiration and incentive (I used to do that in my old apartment so I'd always see them and be reminded). I tried them on today to see hoe far I have to go, and they actually fit! They were a slight bit snug at first, but I totally can get away with them! I was so excited to have to go on to…

Met with a trainer today
I joined a new gym, and with it I got a free training/orientation session. It was interesting, he told me a lot about how the body works and adjusts to the training you do. He said that strength training is the most important thing to do, inaddition to watching food intake and cardio. Oh how I wish I was rich so I could…

What's your weakness?
For some it's cake, or chocolate or chips. Mine? Peanut Butter and ice cream. Preferably peanut butter ice cream. :laugh: It's one of those things where I can't have a container of it in my house, if I know it's there I can't stop myself from eating the whole thing. For instance, last night I was at the supermarket and saw…

Twinkie, Deconstructed
I just picked this book up from the Barnes & Noble bargain bin for $6. Looks to be a pretty interesting read! It's all about processed food and how it's made and where it comes from. Has anyone else read this already? http://www.twinkiedeconstructed.com/Twinkiewebsite/Welcome.html Why the heck can't I make that into a link…

Okay, we all know cool whip is bad for you....
...so I'd like to know about some other things I use often. I know there are a few people on here who are well-educated on what goes into certain products and I'd like them to educate me as well. The first one being I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray. I know it can't be good for me, but I actually like the taste of it…

I think it's finally working again!
I have been stuck on a plateua for a loooong time now, and was trying not to get discouraged. I kept at it because I would think to myself, "What else have you got to do? Gain it all back?" So I changed things up, started taking different classes at the gym, did more with weights... And I think it's finally starting to…

Odd concoctions
I just made what I thought would be an odd concoction that actually turned out pretty well! It came about because I don't have a penny until I wok tonight, and I am almost out of food. I looked in the fridge and saw that I had some 2% mexican shredded cheese, half a tomato, an avocado that needed to be eaten soon, and a…

Cooking question
Okay, so I cut up and sauteed a bunch of peppers to eat throughout the week. Before I cooked them, they weighed 25 ounces. After sauteeing, I weighed them again, and it was 18 ounces. I am assuming that they naturally contain water and the water evaporated from cooking, correct? But anyway, my real question is...which do I…

Soda
I used to drink regular soda like crazy, I'm talking a 6 pack a day of Pepsi! Over time, a few years ago, I was able to switch to diet soda (not great, I know, but the lesser of two evils!). Tonight at the restaurant where I work, there was a guy who was drinking Dr. Pepper like a fiend, literally one sip would wipe out a…

Need ideas/advice
Okay, so here's the deal. I work nights as a waitress, only nights, and I go in to work at 4PM. I work in a gourmet pizza restaurant (ugh, soooo tempting!). I get up and go to the gym in the morning after eating an egg or toast and a banana for breakfast. I am usually home by like 12 or 1. I'll have a small healthy meal…

How did you come to find MFP?
I was reading a magazine (either Shape or Self) and there was a small blurb about it in a colum about fitness tips...I made it a point to check it out after a read it and have been here ever since! Just curious how everyone else got here. :smile:

Some people are so rude!
I was at work tonight and two male coworkers and I were joking around. As I walked away, I heard one of them say my name. When I stopped and asked what he said, he repeated what I guess was supposed to be a funny comment about the size of my *kitten*, but was just really hurtful. I was like "That's really rude!" and had to…

What iPhone apps do you use?
I just got an iPhone, and I am looking for some good apps that will help track eating and exercise when I'm on the go. Do any of you use something like this?
