Why I needed a kitchen scale! (with pic)
I just got my kitchen scale about 10 minutes ago (so excited!). This is one serving of Cascadian Farms organic cinnamon crunch cereal. The box says 1 cup (27 grams). Weight trumps volume, so this is what I should have been eating all along, when in the past I just fill the cup to the brim. Amazing what a difference this…

Am I fit enough for Old Rag in Shenandoah?
Hey there, I am going to Shenandoah in a couple of weeks and trying to figure out if I will be able to hike Old Rag or not. I can only try to compare it to other hikes I've done, like Mount Washington in NH. I can climb Mount Washington, though it takes me much longer than most people and I pretty much die at the end. Has…

How to save a life?
So I have an acquaintance who is morbidly obese. She is short, and probably weighs 500 pounds (guessing). She says her back hurts when she walks, and she is always huffing and puffing. She is otherwise quite cheerful and happy. She never talks about what she eats or exercise or anything about getting in shape. If you were…

Changing goals?
I have been on the lose 1.5/week track for a few months now. I am about 15 pounds away from my goal and am wondering if I should change to lose 1/week instead. Will it matter in the future (when I am at maintenance) if I start eating more calories now?

Bloodwork and Doctor questions
I am going to a new doctor today for a physical/check up. What kinds of things should I ask or find out about diet/exercise-wise? I know I am getting blood work (been fasting) but not sure what it will be tested for.

I can't be the only one...
When I am riding my bike I see other people exercising (either running or biking) and I just have this urge to yell out "way to go!!" or "you're doing well, keep going!". I never had this urge before joining MFP. I think it's all the encouragement I see from other members on here. I don't actually yell this out though…

Pizza calories
How does one estimate the calories in a slice of NYC style pizza? I know they can vary wildly. I am not gonna bring a scale to the party, so does anyone have an estimate based on how long/wide the slice is?

Is it worth it?
I've been hearing a lot about PB2. I see I can get a pound of it for $8.62 online. I'm worried it won't be creamy enough to be good all by itself or in a PB&J sandwich. What do you think?

New to the group, HI everyone!
Hi all! I am new to this group, and don't have many friends yet but hoping that changes. I love being outside, camping, hiking, biking, kayaking. I need to do more of it obviously :) I have the summer off since I am a teacher and I am trying to get out and exercise as much as possible, even in the crazy heat. I have a…

Losing weight but not inches
Usually you see people asking why they are losing inches but not losing weight. I have been losing weight, but my measurements have stayed the same. So now I am worried that I am only losing water weight and that frustrates me. I have been doing p90x for almost 4 weeks and have stayed in my calorie limits. What gives?

Tips for eating on the road
I'm going on a couple camping/road trips soon and have been wondering if anyone had any go-to healthy foods for either camping or driving--stuff that doesn't need to stay cold and is portable. Thanks!
