THAT'S MY JAM!!!
Yesterday I found an old CD labeled "College Mix". I popped it in the wayback machine and loads of memories came flooding back to me. It was very cool and inspiring. I realized I was listening to the soundtrack of my life. I found myself, song after song, thinking THAT'S MY JAM!!! Those songs or bands NEVER get old for me.…

DIY: Funny health haiku
Here is something fun to try if you are bored. Write a haiku poem that illustrates a funny aspect of your weight loss/fitness journey. If you don't know, a haiku is a 3 line poem where the first line has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 and the third line has 5 again. Give it a try! They can be really funny. Here is mine…

Strangest place you ever did it...
:indifferent: Just wanted to offer a reason as to why this thread always gets locked: any post in the main forums can appear on a user's home page under "most recent topics", even if they don't visit the forums. So users at work who log in to blog food suddenly get the word "boobs" on their home screen, which is not really…

Need help with BMR, TDEE, and calorie count for MFP
Currently, my MFP calorie level is 2050. According to FitFrog.com, my BMR IS 2750 and my TDEE is 3800. After I do all the math it seems like in theory I should lose nearly 3.5lbs/wk. That would be great, but I know it isn't a sustainable plan for a number of reasons. If all I have said is, in fact, correct do I need to…

Way Back Wednesday
OK - I enjoyed "Take It Back Tuesday" so much yesterday that I wanted to try something else today to see if it sticks. I call it Way Back Wednesday. Post a photo of yourself from a time in your life when you felt great about the way you looked. I keep a photo of myself handy to use as motivation or a goal. I figured some…

Does this ever happen to you?
I have discovered over the last 20 years of "dieting" that when people comment that I have lost weight, it feels good at first but only to a point. At some point I get really self conscious that another person has noticed my weight. I feel like they are keeping track of my weight or something. When they say things like…

I am celebrating anyway
Well...I was on MFP for a while and lost 40 or so lbs. Then I hit a plateau and couldn't get over it. Very frustrating. Pretty soon, life took over and I ended up quitting MFP. A year later, I decided to come back. So here I am. I consider that a success and I ma celebrating dammit! With a healthy meal and lots of water of…

Lookin' for a posse!
OK gang - I am looking for a crew...a weight loss crew. This is my second go around on MFP. I had a lot of success the first time, but I let life get in the way. Not this time. One of the biggest reasons I was successful last time was the people that supported me. I am looking for friends that high five me when I am up and…

2nd time around
My name is Ted. This is my second time on MFP. I lost about 40lbs the first time, but hit a plateau, got frustrated, and quit. I gained that 40lbs back and I am pissed. I want to eventually lose 100lbs or so, but I am breaking it up into smaller chunks to keep it manageable. So for now, I am looking to lose 10lbs and I…
