P90X opinions anyone?
Hi everyone, I am thinking about buying the P90X dvds... However, I am a bit worried I am spending all that money and it will be the same like all my other dvds - no results and therefore collecting dust. Can those of you who are using these dvds to get fit let me know if all those raving positive reviews I am reading are…

my healthy lunch was gross :(
Ok, guys I have to rant.. :grumble: I have seriously decided to eat healthy now, which is my biggest downfall. I exercise a lot (horse riding, running, squash,...) but ruin it all with pizza and burgers. :embarassed: Eating healthy usually meant heating up a ready meal, obviously not ideal. So today I spent ages in the…

Those who dont eat CARBS...
... could you please tell me if it had a positive effect on your health? It is always the carbs that ruin my diet and make me put on weight - trust me, the pattern is obvious. These carbs are Bread and Pasta. I want to completely take them out of my diet for good. I tried a diet before where I dont eat carbs for 2 weeks…

Medical Advice (Joke)
Not exactly the medical advise I'd rely on but funny none the less! :laugh: Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Your heart only good for so many beats, and that it...don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like…

Church Bulletins :-)
Thank God for church ladies with typewriters. These sentences (with all the BLOOPERS) actually appeared in church bulletins or were announced in church services : The Fasting & Prayer Conference includes meals. The sermon this morning: 'Jesus Walks on the Water.' The sermon tonight: 'Searching for Jesus.' Ladies, don't…

Nose job?
Hi everyone. I hate my nose. Always have done. I am playing with the thought of making myself a "Goal Weight Reached" - present and go for a nose job. It is not going tobe anything major, just the front bit of my nose (which currently looks a bit piggy) should be reshaped. I would like to hear from people who have had a…

I only gain all the time :-(
Hi everyone. I am really starting to lose my motivation. I joined MFP about this time last year at 166 lbs, wanting to get down to 140 lbs. I lost 5 lbs by Christmas and would have reached my goal by April 2009, in time for our holiday in Florida. Christmas 2008 came however, and I totally lost the plot. Didn’t weight…

How do you eat low fat & low carb
and still make your daily calories goal? :huh: Doc suggested I try eating low fat and low carb for a while and I tell you I am struggling here. I am on 125g carbs and 35g fat per day. But even with trying my best and thinking of all the food I can eat, I dont make it to 1200 calories. Only if I go over on carbs or fat then…

HRM vs. Jillian Michaels
Hey all, I recently bought Jillian Michael’s work out for the Wii and I must say, it’s a lot of fun. :smile: I went over my calories yesterday by about 400 (yes, ooops!) and decided to work them off on the Wii. So I put on my Polar F11 and did the workout for almost an hour! :yawn: My HRM said I had burnt 499 calories, but…

jealous people
I bought my dream car about 6 months ago. It is a silver Mercedes 4x4 (ML320 sport). I love my car and look after it. It is only 18 months old now. I worked extremely hard to get the deposit together and be able to afford it. I bought it because Simon has a 2 seater sports car and since we are planning a family as well, I…

Question for moms
How long did it take you from stopping the contraceptive pill until you got pregnant? My mum said it took her 2 months only. This is my first month and my period is late. I should have had it today and should have felt abdominal pain days before, but nothing... when I did a test it was negative :frown:

background calories
Hi, can someone tell me please how I deduct the background calories? Is there a formula I can use? For example if my HRM says I have burnt 300 calories, how do I calculate my exercise calories, those that I should eat? I assume it is: 300 - something = exercise calories ? Thanks so much. H

Hi All, I decided today to come back to MFP and am so glad about my decision! :smile: I had started with MFP in November last year and had lost 5 lbs before Christmas.
