MPH vs HRM. Best way to lose weight question.
So, since I was pretty sick yesterday, I wanted to work out but take it easy. I use an elliptical that has a polar HRM on the handles. I stayed at a steady 4 mph for the majority of my workout. The HRM read 157 for the most part. (I am an overweight short female.) My question is this... Is it better to go at a slower pace…
Back on the wagon and LOVING every minute of it.
I get so passionate about working out in the beginning, then it trails off... Ive been on and off of mfp about 3 times now, all in the past year or so. I recently weighed myself and just about had a heart attack. My husband is losing weight to join the Navy, and I seem to be picking it up. I was let go from my job due to…
Neat trick to try... Eat with your Left hand!!! (Or your les
Well I went to my complex hot tub one day, and this really nice guy was there that is also a fitness trainer. He suggested some interesting things that I had not thought of before. Such as eating with your less dominant hand, (for me thats my left hand) and eating with chopsticks. It helps the portion control. Today was my…

A question for anyone who does their own pickling.
Hi guys!!! My grandma taught me how to pickle with a water bath canner. It turns out tastey, but for some reason my greenbeans and asparagus turn out wrinkly. It looks like how your fingers look after soaking in the tub for too long. Just wrinkly, it tastes great, but im wondering if anyone knows why they dont turn out…

What is your favorite Chicken recipe?
Please share it! I am looking for more new ways to enjoy chicken. For some reason I am not a fan of chicken. It is usually bland, or just not very flavorful. I have tried a number of different recipes and could use some helpful tips. If you have the same issue with not being a huge fan of chicken like me, please feel free…

I just cant stop guys.... Pepsi Max.
I love Pepsi so much, the super sugary goodness. So, I found Pepsi Max, no cals, no fat, nothing. However, I am pretty sure diet sodas dont help too much. Someone tell me its at least a tiny bit better! I really want to find a way to justify this :P
The QUEEN of excuses!
I am the Queen, the QUEEN, of making up excuses. I started out mfp about 50 days ago, going strong, kicking butt, working out religiously. Only to fall on my *kitten* about 40 days later. Excuse #1: I was super stressed out with a recent family situation which in all actuality, wasnt even my business, and the girl who…

First Major NSV for me :D
So, I had to share that Im so excited!!! I have started to notice some slight differences these days.

Its nice to feel like you notice a…

Should I be taking a multi-vitamin?
Should I be taking a multi-vitamin? Is it as helpful as they say and would it benifit my weight loss? I have never really taken them, but it has been suggested to me to take them. Advice and input would be appreciated, thanks!
