Weight fluctuation vs. real weight loss
Morning everyone. I'm very new to the site and have been browsing around since last night. This morning I weighed myself and had a question. Since buying my new scale a few weeks ago, I've weighed myself at different intervals during the day and various days of the week. I have a weight range that spans 5 lbs. I know that…

Friend Says She Sees a Difference in Me, I'm Not Seeing It
So, this isn't a cry for attention or fishing for compliments. I legitimately do not see a difference between my body 11 lbs ago and now. My friend says my face has thinned out and she can tell, but I'm just not seeing it. Today was my last day at work, and so I thought it fitting to wear the same clothes I wore my first…

Younger Siblings Coming Up for 4 Days
Morning MFP. So, from the 20-23 I'm very excited to have my two younger sisters down for the first time. Granted, I've baby sat numerous times while still in high school, but I've never had a sleep over with them in my very own apartment. As I'm in college and have a part time job, I only get to drive up for about 24-36…

McDonald's Big Mac!
I tried posting this in Food and Nutrition and no one cares! -le sob- Maybe this would spark people's interests in the recipe's catergory? With a look at making an at-home version of the Big Mac with McDonald's head chef, I thought we could come up with an even healthier way of preparing this delicious burger! I,…

Is this a balanced/good strength training workout?
I've been fiddling around with my Total-Trainer and just haven't been happy with the random stuff I've come up with. My knowledge on the subject is limited, honestly, and so I took to the internet to try and find something. I currently cannot find the exercise guide that came with the gym, which was one of my main…

Make a McDonald's Big Mac at Home!
Thought I would post this video here that shows the ingredients and approximate measurements for making Mac Sauce and the construction of the actual burger. Seeing this version, I'm sure there are ways of making a far healthier version that might help some of us when we get those McDonald's cravings!…

Body Combat?
Has anyone done Les Mills Body Combat, and if so, what are you labeling it as in your exercise diary? I came across a 20 minute demo on youtube and tried it out for the first time today (OMG it kicked my *kitten*!) and could only figure it was close to tae bo?

Introducing Boss
Here is Boss, my 92.2 lb Lab mix. And just like mommy, he needs to lose some weight! He's lost 2 lbs since February just by increasing his exercise, but that has been inconsistent, unfortunately. Six days ago, he switched from a free-feeding lifestyle to a predatory feeding lifestyle, which should hopefully help with his…

This just doesn't feel like enough...
So I posted a few days ago about whether anyone had any success with the simplefit.org circuit training (http://www.simplefit.org/workout.html) and no one really responded. That's fine. I've done three days of this, all on level 1. I know, I know, that's not really enough time to gauge if it's doing anything, or is it? The…

Anyone do the Simplefit.org circuit training?
http://www.simplefit.org/workout.html My boyfriend encouraged me to try this while he was away. It's simple and I only need my total-trainer DLX home gym for the pull ups. Was wondering if anyone has done this, and if so, have you seen results. I went ahead and started at Level 1, and I just did Day 2 yesterday for the…

Silly, but: Help Me Identify this Meat!
Hey guys, I know this is kinda ridiculous, but to help me track my calories better I want to know what kind of meat this is. My boyfriend and I are very lucky that his Nana loves shopping for us, and she often buys use a bunch of meat, but never tells us what anything is. The shape/size doesn't look like chicken to me, but…

Feeling Nauseous Before/During Breakfast?
Morning all! So ever since I was in Middle School I've had a hard time eating breakfast. It was worse when I was in my teens, but the issue still plagues me every now and then. When younger, I could NOT eat breakfast. My mom tried to force me, but the simple thought of eating something as basic as plain toast sent my…

23/F, reintroduction
Hello all! Earlier this year I joined myfitnesspal and lost about 10 lbs. Unfortunately, between two jobs and college, by the end of the semester I was cranking out papers and pulling all-nighters, decimating my progress and getting me back in the habit of eating lots of junk food. I'm coming back to myfitnesspal with a…
