Chew 30 times
So I'm sure lots of you have heard this tip before, but seriously - chew every bite of food at least 30 times! I had heard this tons of times, and had even tried it out once or twice, but for what ever reason always ended up forgetting about it and going back to wolfing down my food. But the past few days I've been really…

Making up for going over
Just curious - if you guys go over your calories one day, do you try to make up for the next day by going under?

Dry skin
Whenever I go into a calorie deficit, I've noticed my skin gets really dry - like white and cracked fingertips dry - and I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same experience? I take fish oil supplements, so I can't imagine that I'm getting too little fat. I also use moisturizer on a daily bases. Any advice on what I…

Europeans out there?
Hey all! I'm a 20 year old girl from Denmark. Not new to MFP, but looking for some friends in my time zone :)

MFPers in Scandinavia?
Any other MFPers live in Scandinavia? I live in Denmark, and would love to have more friends who aren't asleep when I'm awake :D

HRM calory accuracy?
I recently bought the Polar FT4 HRM, and have been loving it. But I was quite surprised to find that it tells me I'm burning more calories than MFP says, and I'm finding it a little too good to be true. Yesterday, I biked for 80 min, and it told me I burned 450 cals - MFP said 335. Any one have similar experiences?

Hungry...
Anyone else ever have those days where you just feel insatiably hungry, no matter what you do? Drinking water, eating protein, eating fibre, going for a walk, drinking tea... Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy! I'm not under eating - I almost always eat back my calories from exercising, or most of them at least. So I…

New runner, looking for motivation!
Hey guys. I've just started running seriously this week - I've run 5k twice, and am absolutely loving it so far! I've been doing body weight workouts for years, so I'm in pretty good shape, but this is completely different than what I'm used to - and boy am I ever sore! So if anyone has some advice on things to keep in…

Vegetarians out there?
I've recently gone vegetarian, and wondering if there are any others out there? Would be nice to have someone to share meal ideas with :]

Workout at home
Hey guys, any of you have heard of or follow bodyrock? It's a website with a bunch of at-home, little or no equipment, high intensity, short workouts. I don't really follow them any more, but I've been really inspired by their style of workouts, and I make up my own almost daily. So I was wondering if any one else does…

Chocolate...
I'm such an all-or-nothing person. We had a family Christmas lunch today, with waay too much cheese and meat and alcohol. And now that I'm off the wagon, it just kinda doesn't seem to stop. Here I am, watching a movie with the family, reading posts on MFP... and munching out on chocolate. Sighs. Guess I'll just enjoy it…

New and ready to ROCK!
Hey guys, I'm Sunny, 20 year old female from Denmark. I'm 5'4 and 143 lbs, trying to get down to around 130... for the second time. Long story short, I lost a bunch of weight, went on an volunteer exchange to West Africa, put on 30 lbs (white girls getting fat in Africa - ironic, I know), and now I've been trying to work…
