what does your screen name mean
I'm always so intrigued by how people come up with their screen names. How did you come up with yours? For example, I chose mine because I LOVE books. What about you?

vegetable soup diet
I know that this website is not for fad diets but for lifestyle changes and I hope people don't jump all over me for asking but.... Has anyone done the 7 day vegetable soup diet? I am thinking of trying it because I am going to go on vacation in 7 weeks (Bali, Cambodia, Malaysia) and I have clothes I need to take with me…

bathroom scales
I am looking for sugestions on what type of bathroom scale you use. I bought one at Costco (Taylor brand I believe) and I'm not really happy with it. It fluctuates to much for my liking. When I weigh myself, I do it about 3 times and take the average. I did this the other day and there was a 3 lb. difference at one time?…

going to Trader Joe's! Need suggestions!
My boyfriend and I are thinking of going to the US this weekend (we live in Canada) and I really want to go to Trader Joe's! I've seen so many people talk about it and I want to go and shop. What are your favourites? I know that pop chips are on my list....

Trader Joe's virgin
We went on a little getaway to the states for 2 days and one of the things on my agenda was to go to TJ's. We went today and it was sooooo much fun :happy: I went with my list of suggestions I received from people here on MFP and I was amazed with all the neat things they carry and how reasonably priced the things were. I…

time of month
I just started Tuesday morning and I've had no energy! Has anyone else experienced this? What do you do to get through it?

is it wrong...
......that tonight I wanted to exercise so that I could get some extra calories so that I could eat? I was hungry and didn't have many calories left so I thought about going on the treadmill for a bit to gain some more calories. Has this happened to anyone else? I didn't do it in the end but had an apple and some laughing…

carbs or calories
My two co-workers today told me that they keep track of their carbs to lose weight. I thought that is something is high in carbs that it also means it is high in calories? I have a headache from discussing lunch choices with a co-worker! She said my hotdog was the same as her angus beef burger (the patty was the size of a…

great crustless quiche recipe
I make this recipe every couple of weeks or so because it is so easy and doesn't require a crust. I just sat down and did the math (and used MFP) for the ingredients and I figured out it is approx. 576 for a quarter of the pie plate. **6 egg whites **2 cup. half and half cream (I used light) **3 X 1/3 cup grated cheese (I…

interesting?
I have noticed that when I enter my food into my diary that the foods I eat most often appear at the top of the list! This is very handy but a real eye-opener!! I have a fondness for Starbucks mocha frappe drinks (I only allow myself one on the weekend) and when I first entered the drink, it was at the bottom. I have…

Polar F6
I just bought one and absolutely love it! I went for a 2 1/2 hr walk and burned 861 calories!! It will be nice to know what I am actually burning (the numbers on MFP aren't accurate) and how much harder/longer I need to work to reach my desired calorie loss.

I'm curious
When I have finished my meals/exercise for the day I click on 'complete today's entry'. It then tells me (if I have had a good exercise/calorie day) that if every day were like today that I would weigh 10 lbs less in 5 weeks! I get so excited when I see that and I was wondering if that is true and if people have really…

Help....I need your feedback
I went walking today and I burned 861 calories. I didn't want to put them all into today's log because then my food diary would be adjusted and it would say I had all these calories left. My daily intake is 1320. What I did was split up my calories burned and put some on Friday's exercise diary (I was over calories that…

looking elsewhere for calories not listed
I bought some bulk yogurt covered almonds at my local health food store and I'm not sure of the calories. I googled it and found out that 12 pieces is about 210 calories. Does anyone have a specific website they use to look things up?

any Shape magazine readers out there?
I love this magazine and usually devour it within the first day of getting it in the mail!! I thought, like any magazine, that they doctor the cover until I noticed a couple of issues ago that they said that they don't and that the cover models work hard at what we see. Jenny McCarthy is on the latest issue but on The…

Chocolate makes me feel sick???
I have such a love of chocolate and just before Easter I stocked up on the Cadbury mini eggs (the pastel coloured melt in your mouth morsels) because I knew that once Easter was over I would not be able to find them. I put them in the freezer so that when I do have some, they take longer to eat because they are frozen.…

burning less calories???
I've tried doing a search in past posts to find the answer but I can't find the solution I'm looking for. Does anyone know why my calories burned from exercise are getting less? I just joined last week and it said for my 60 min of walking at 3.0 that I would burn 295 calories. It is now saying only 288?
