You know you are an MFP addict when...
...you get home from work and realize if you leave the snowblower in the garage you can get a ton of extra calories by shoveling the driveway!

Had to put my dog to sleep today
So we had to decide to put my dog to sleep. He was a 10 year old English Bulldog. We found out he had cancer so it all happened quickly. He was first dog and it was increadibly difficult! Just had to vent!

Going from Cut to Gain for Muscle Mass
So I hit my goal of losing 20 pounds and have now decided to up my calories again and try to pack on some lean muscle.

I assume some…

I had a Body Fat Analysis...
...and I was pleasantly surprised!!! I came in at 17.2%. According to the trainer who did the test for me the ideal range for guys is 12% to 18%. I was really expecting the worst, for no reason, but falling just into that "ideal" category made me very happy! My work out after that was much more fun. I am using this as my…

So last night I hopped in the scale for the first time in 2 weeks and found that I have gained. I hope its an error in the scale but its…

Week 1 over...I lost...
3 pounds!!! I was very happy to see this! I am the typical guy that always looks for instant results. It’s going to take some determination and probably some harassment from my MFP friends, but I am so excited to see what happens in week 2.

Calorie vs Fat Counter
So I am using one of the standard calculators on MFP and yesterday I very closely met my calorie count but was over on my fat allowance by 11g. It seems as if the MFP is based on the calorie intake first, is that correct? And should I be more focused on satisfying the calorie or fat counter?
