music (running especially)
I was just playing on itunes and found one of my favorite running songs on there. It's alternative so you'd have to like that, but it's happy song by janitor bob and the arm chair cowboys. It has a really good mellow running beat. I like to start off with that one just to set my pace. (they're from sioux falls, SD - my…

another ? for the ladies
I just got a prescription for Seasonale. Has anyone tried it? My doc thought it would be good for me, but I've read a few mixed reviews and wondered if it was good for you.

I just made frozen fruit cups with the sugar (2 CUPS!!!) and water, but after putting them in recipe calculator, I found out they have 26 grams of sugar (I knew…

kids
I know most people have their kids for motivation. I just wanted to share a story about my 6 and 3 year old boys. We were at Sam's club the other night and I had promised the 6 yr. old that I would buy him oreos to pack in his lunch. After we picked them up, he saw watermelon and I told him he had to choose - oreo's or…

activity level
I've been on MFP since January and love it. I've been stuck at about the same weight for 2 months (give or take the 2-3 lb fluctuation). I have my activity level as active. I'm starting to wonder if I'm at the right activity since I've been stuck (and have been staying within my calories and usually eating my exercise…

Stuck - any ideas?
I think I may have hit a plateau :ohwell: I'm 3.8 lbs from my goal (although i'd really love to lose a total of 8.8 lbs, but I haven't weighed that since I was a freshman/sophomore in college - 1993-1995 ish). As of right now, I weigh less than I did when I graduated from college. I'm down to 19% body fat (done with a…

The Dr. asked her if she would like a prescription for it and of course she said yes- who wouldn't…

ice cream free banana split
HI - I just had one of my favorite desserts and thought I'd share. I use 1 banana, a serving or 2 of lite cool whip, 1 tbsp (or so) of chocolate syrup. It gives me the 'banana split fix' without the ice cream. When strawberries are in season I add those to the mix too. I have grated chocoate chips or dark chocolate in…

"banked" calories?
I went the farthest over today I have since starting in Jan (602 calories). I just added up my calories for the week and I still have 439 "banked" calories. My question is should I hop on the treadmill for 45 min to burn 300 (then I"m only over 300 or so), or just enjoy my day. I usually eat net about 1500 calories a day…
