New to the weight room
Hey there! I need some advice/kick in the pants. I've been seeing all these amazing results of people who have been lifting heavy weights and seeing amazing results. I like lifting weights. And I like it a heck of a lot more than spending hours on a cardio machine. I’m not afraid at all of “bulking up” or looking too…

In LOVE!!
With my New Balance N4 Heart Rate Monitor!!! I had been looking around for a while for a HRM that would let me know my calories burned and HR that were ACURATE. I read a whole bunch of reviews and this one combines both a watch so you can see your HR/Calories (duration, real time, BPM etc) and a chest strap that I honestly…

Spicy Turkey Chili
So I had been searching for a good turkey chili recipe that had a great spicy flavor. After looking around I combined a couple to come up with this DELICIOUS and hearty recipe. Just a warning that it does have a kick, but you can always use less spice to change that :) I live with 2 adult men, so they eat large portions.…

Woohoo!!
In August/September I habitually logged in an input all of my food and exercise. October came around and I got busy with life, but never lost the drive and motivation that I had. I still watched my portion sizes and I still remained a *mostly* healthy eater. In the past month I honestly don't think that I have logged…

Kicking it into gear!
I am completely fed up with my waist line growing. After several failed gym membership attempts, I put on my running shoes and went OUTSIDE for a 45 minute walk/jog. A Wog? Anyway, why was I spending money I didn't have, on gyms I barely used, when I could have been using the great outdoors? I would spend (what seemed…

Portion Sizes
I'm new to this life style change that I have just started. I know that one of the biggest things to pay attention to is portion sizes, but I need to go get scales to weigh portions?! That seems a bit extreme, but it also seems like it may be the most effective way to keep track of things. How do ya'll keep your portions…

Kenpo X
How do other people record Kenpo X for P90X? I know it's a cardio work out...so I recorded it as Martial Arts, since its mostly punching/kicking. Any other suggestions? Much Appreciated!

Getting the hang of it
So I just started my first round of P90X the beginning of last week, and so far so good. The only thing that isn't my favorite is yoga. Yesterday I did about half of the yoga routine, and couldn't get myself to concentrate to finish. I went to the gym and used the treadmill for about an hour instead. I'm also not doing…

Food scale
I bought my first food scale last night, after many on MFP said that it will greatly help me keep track of my portion sizes. I used it last night and was surprised how much 4 ounces of meat was. It was more than I thought! Hopefully this will help jump start me!

Sodium: Evil Foe or Archnemesis?
In most comics there are the plain bad guys, and then the crazy evil one who the super hero spends the entire comic trying to defeat. I'm trying to figure out which one sodium relates to more. I always hear "watch your sodium intake", "that has a lot of salt in it" and "too much sodium isn't good for you". Well too much of…

Top Chef: Just Deserts!
As I sit here waiting to pick up my roommate from the airport (she doesn't get in until 12am!!!) I'm sitting and watching Just Deserts. As much as I love this show, it's making me hungry :( Silly me didn't even notice when I ate half a bag of the mini Quaker rice cakes. HALF A BAG! No, it isn't the worst thing I could have…

Over on Protien and under my calories
All week I have been over on protein, but under my calories. Is that bad? Should I be watching my protein more closely? Help please!

Week 1 is almost done!
It's the small victory of knowing that I'm almost finished with the first week of this lifestyle change that I am adopting....and so far it hasn't been that hard. Yes today I caved when my roommate presented me with her mom's chocolate chip cookies (does everyone see why they are my weakness now?! This is the 2nd time this…

COOKIE SABOTAGE!
Day 4 and my co-worker is already putting my willpower to the test! I got to work this morning and what is sitting on my desk? 6 mouth watering, delicious looking chocolate chip cookies. WHYYYYY??? So far I haven't given in to the temptation. I just keep asking myself "how will eating the cookies benefit me?" Answer: Very…

Just Joined!
Hi ya'll! My roommate just told me about this site a couple days ago, and I thought it sounded like a great tool to utilize, so here I am. I've tried other sites in the past to help me keep track of calories, but usually lose motivation after only a few days because it made everything so difficult, and only had a small…
