New Bike/Cold Ears
I recently bought a bike and I'm thrilled to be out of the gym for my cardio! Since I live in the NE, and plan to ride come winter, I need to know what hat that covers my ears will be safe to wear under my helmet?

Life happened?
I've noticed that a lot of people say "life happened" and that's why they gained all the weight back. When I hear that, it sounds like it's not they're own doing. It's like not taking responsibility for ones own choices. It's like you're minding your own business and then BAM! Life happens and you're fat all of a sudden.…

Great article in the science section of The NY Times today
I am an Internet dummy so if anyone can give the link of this article in the Well section of the ScienceTimes by Jane E.Brody entitled: "To Ensure Bone Health, Start Early". It makes some excellent points in regard to calorie intake, exercise and low bone density. Can someone help post the link, please?

Arctic Zero
Let me save you from wasting your hard-earned moolah on this frozen nothing of a dessert. It taste like a slightly sweetened version of slush. From now on I'm sticking to the real dessert I was hankering for: chocolate gelato.

How does kale with garlic and olive oil have trans fats?
I found it in the data base and when I looked at the fats in it it had 14 grams of trans fat. How is that possible? Olive oil has no trans fat. It's the first time since joining MFP that I've eaten trans fat. I try never to have it.

High Rise Stair Climbing
I recently "discovered" stair climbing. I workout in the gym in my building every morning on the 11th floor. A couple of days ago I decided to climb the stairs from the 11th floor to the 21st floor after my workout. I went slow and really enjoyed it! Today after my workout I climbed from the 11th floor to my floor (the…

Birthday Brownies
My daughter baked me a batch of Nutella brownies and mailed them to me from all the way from the left coast for my birthday. She knows how much I love chocolate and was so sweet to do that for me. When they arrived, I had a quarter of one and froze the rest. That was a month ago. Today (the day I hit my 125 pound mini…

Am I doing it right?
I joined 12/27/12. Since then I've lost 8 pounds. I set MFP so that I lose 2 pounds a week. I think I'm supposed to eat 1200 calories plus my exercise calories which are 600 per day. I have felt energetic and satisfied with my food intake. Is this the right amount of calories for me? Some days I don't quite get up to the…
