Rollerblading - the calorie burner
When I was younger I had a true passion for rollerblading. I've never been a runner, but once I put those roller blades on I was a blur on the street. As time passed I outgrew/wore out my roller blades, and let's be honest - they're darn pricey to replace! However, a few weeks ago I bit the bullet and got a new pair…

Varicose Veins
I've had them for years - since I was 16 or so... but today I realized that I have one particular varicose vein on my right thigh that is ridiculous! They've never really hurt, but they are quite unsightly. The veins that aren't varicose are still very visible. I wonder if they're from years of marching band and drum and…

I don't want to log everything anymore
I'm starting to become bored with logging all the food that I'm eating at every meal/snack break. What do I do now?

Late night snack = weight less in the a.m.?
Two nights ago I had a bowl of cereal past 8pm - even though I try not to eat past 8. I woke up yesterday morning and I was 151. Last night I did not eat past 8. I woke up this morning and was 153. I had calories left over to eat yesterday, so what's up?

Snacking when sad
I'm sad. I've been hoping and praying to hear back about two jobs that I applied for last month, and I've heard nothing. The second round of interviews for one of the jobs is supposed to be next week and I had been told to look for something in the mail. I'm starting to think that for the 3rd year since graduating college,…

Too much sugar!
Ok, I can't escape it. Every single day I'm over on my daily sugar intake! I know it's the 1/4 cup of M&Ms - probably - but come on! And the problem is, I really like my sugar :( And no, I won't switch to splenda, or sweet n' low, or any of those other artificial sugars. Really, it has "artificial" in its name, why would I…

Different scales, different results
Yesterday I did my weigh-in and the gym. The scale is newer than the scale at my house (which must be 17 years old) and I thought "ok surely this will be more accurate." My weight according to the gym was 154.8. This morning I woke up, used the restroom, got on the scale and was 155 according to the scale at home. I meant…

Nike+ ?
Yesterday I bought new shoes, and with them I bought the adapter for the Nike+ chip and I also got the sports band. Eager to try it out I went to the gym yesterday and used the treadmill to measure my mile. My results were as follows: Watch: 1.03m Treadmill: 1m So I calibrated my distance to 1m one I got back to my…

What if I don't know?
I'm using the MyFitnessPal app for my Droid - but what if I don't truly know how many calories are in what I'm eating? Sure, it is easy if you're eating something with a bar code, but what if it is something at a restaurant, or dinner that someone else has prepared? Or, what if that bag of pretzels from the local bakery…

Saddle Bags - How to loose them
Hi FitnessPal people! I just recently started using MyFitnessPal again. I had downloaded it as an attempt to start 2011 off right, but having never been a "calorie counter" my time logging my meals was short. But now I'm re-inspired. Not only am I going on a 3-week long trip to Europe in May, but my boyfriend has asked me…

Attempt 2 with MyFitnessPal
Hello, My name is Kelly and this is my second attempt using MyFitnessPal. Attempt one was as a 2011 New Year's Resolution, but we all know how those don't work. I used the app for my Droid Incredible for about a week or two, and then let it fall by the wayside. Now I'm newly motivated to get back in shape, and for me it is…
