Life update
I've been on My Fitness Pal for ages but wanted to tell a little recent development in my story. With MFP, I'd lost 20lbs or so a couple years back. I felt so great. I was keeping it off, working out a lot, and felt so great. Then my life changed, my mom was put on the heart transplant list, my job changed, and blah blah…

For National Sandwich Day....
Whats your favorite Sandwich? My go to sandwich is Peanutbutter and Honey with a little bit of butter on Safeway's Ancient Grains bread. So good! Great 1/2'd for a pre-workout carb/protein fuel.

We are thinking we'll mostly be on the North West coastline, in the Tamirindo area. Just looking for advise on where to stay (all inclusive or local hotel), what to do, and whether or…

Travel tips in China
So I'm headed to China in 1.5 weeks, and it was a last minute trip (just found out i was going last week) so I dont feel like I can do all the research on my own. So I am just wondering, has anyone ever been before? Any off-the-beaten-path must see/do's? I am going to be in Beijing for 5 days, Xi'an for 2, and Shanghai for…

Waist, Hips, Thigh
How do you measure yourself in these areas? I guess I am just confused on where to put the tape. Waist: The smallest portion of your midsection? Or where the top of your jeans come to? Hips: Across your hip bones? Making sure it goes over the widest part of your butt? Thigh: The very top of your thigh? Or the widest point…

Getting good feedback, and still having the drive to continu
Every time I lose weight, I am going along, doing so well, and then the thing that derails me is when I start to get good feedback from people! Its so frustrating! When someone tells me I look good, or that I've lost weight...etc, something clicks in my mind that tells me "well you look good so you dont need to watch your…

I'm a Zumba addict
You know you are a Zumba addict when your 2x per week class (which i already pre-payed for) isn't enough, so spent last night looking for other Zumba classes to drop in to the rest of the week. At $10 a pop, not a cheap addiction! I can't help it!! I love it! :love: I went to my first new instructor at a Dance studio last…

I passed out last night.
This is what happened. I didn't eat a real "dinner". I had a very beefy sandwich for lunch and was snacking on trail mix and fruit in the evening. Just wasn't super hungry. My neighbors across the street were having a party, so I went over to say hello. I was over there about 2 hours, and had one glass of sangria during…

Expecially since I had a glass of sangria and a…

Is heat a factor?
Just curious if the temp of the environment you are in when you work out factors into your calories burned. Like going for a bike ride outside in 90 degree heat as compared to working out inside in an airconditioned gym. Thoughts? P.S. My head feels like its going to explode after my bike ride. I pushed myself to climb a…

Just wanted to say hello!
New here. I lost 20 lbs last year using the My-Calorie-Counter.com website, but then gained back 10. I find that website to be very difficult to navigate, so I am hoping this one will be better!
