Can you calculate distance with time?
If you read my signature you'll see my miles walked and I exclude my trail walks because I simply do not know how far I've walked. I would LOVE to enter them into it but the fact that I can't Google map them (trails or just off the beaten path) I don't count them. I know how many calories I've burned and how long I walked…

Egg Whites...Not a fan!
Okay so I've been told to eat Boiled Eggs for snacks which would be great but I have this aversion to egg whites. I can only eat them when my eggs are scrambled. If I eat a boiled egg most of the time I don't finish all the white, same when I would eat deviled eggs, or fried eggs. When the white is in it's solid form I…

BodyBugg & Other Calories Burned Monitors
I know that for the Bodybugg you have to have the subscription to the website to use the BodyBugg (or so I've been told). I quite like MFP and I don't want to have to pay to use BodyBuggs website. I'm wondering if anyone knows if you can get something similar without having to purchase a subscription to a website? I was…

Snickering Children & the parents who don't give a damn (Ran

2 Questions
If I exercise a lot or even get a good workout in for at least 40 minutes I find that I'm hungry more often than if I don't exercise. I feel ravenous...I'll eat a snack (apple and some water, orange and water, 80 cal cereal bar and some water...etc.) or like now I just had a bagel thin with peanut butter and a drizzle of…

"How do you drink so much water?"...
I don't know how many times I've been asked how I drink so much water. Honestly, when I first started this journey I would just buy giant water bottles from 7-Eleven every Saturday and carry them with me for a week (refilling them...ew I know.) When my family started noticing me and how serious I was about this my…

HRM ...Really Frustrated
My step-dad bought me an HRM quite some time ago (maybe 3-4 weeks ago). I can't figure it out for the life of me. I've googled and you-tubed for instructions that are super dumbed down but I can't find them. I was hoping to find a good how to video on youtube but only found 1 and it wasn't even instructional. I'm…

Stairs/Leg Cramps...etc
So today I went to a local mountain top and climbed the stairs in about 2 mins. These stairs aren't normal stairs and once you get to one point the incline is nearly straight up. I had to stop and catch my balance before I could continue. My question is what should I log it as? 2 minutes of walking stairs is only 45…

Tight Leg Muscles
So my exercise consists of a lot of walking. I've noticed (especially during a 2mi walking video I do) that my calf muscle, especially in my left calf is really tight. They both are tight when I walk outdoors or indoors but worse during that video. The video is called Family Walk with Leslie Sansone. It's amazing! Anyway,…

Walking Video...How should I log it?
I did a video today called Family Walk. Leslie Sansone said it was the equivalent of 2 miles. I'm DRIPPING sweat from every pore! It was the best video I've done in a long time and very low impact. Just very vigorous/brisk walking. How should I enter it? There was also weights involved but only towards the end of the…

NSV - Something I've always wanted to do and did!
Every walk I've done lately had lead up to mounting this hill! I've always wanted to walk this hill since we moved here (about 10 years) and have not even attempted it. It's not that far from my house to the TOP of the hill but I'm carrying a lot of weight and this is a HUGE deal for me! I normally just walk to the corner…

Kudos to MFP
I'd just like to say I'm super happy that I joined Myfitnesspal (thank you Laci / PB2MYJ). At first I was just using it to log my daily/normal food intake. I've found myself, mostly today really making sure I'm staying on point with my intake and making sure whatever I'm making works for my set calorie/fat intake. I've…

Feeling Anxiety over other people cooking...
I live at home. My mom has decided tonight that she's going to cook dinner (rarity in my house lol). She found a recipe that she wants to try but she's switching it up a bit because my Step-dad doesn't like blue cheese. The recipe she found is from Claire Robinson from Food Network from the show 5 Ingredients or Less. The…
