How many calories do you burn at the gym?
Just wondering how many calories most people burn at the gym. (: I do 350 every time- although I may up it in a few weeks if I feel like I can do more, if not I might just stick to the same amount but keep trying to get faster. Also I always do my workouts in terms of calories- I do 150 on the stepper, 80 on the rowing…

Why are carbs so bad?
I hear people saying that they have to avoid carbs a lot, but I don't understand why. I eat bread or pasta or potatoes all the time and I'm still losing weight. Also I thought they were good for you because they keep you full? Can anyone explain? (:

Healthy(ish) peanut butter cups
So the other day I found this recipe online: http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/05/23/want-to-eat-an-entire-bowl-of-cookie-dough/ I thought "wow that sounds great, who doesn't want to eat a huge bowl of fake cookie dough?". So I started making it and used peanut butter in it instead of nut butter. It tasted great but I…

Things you wish someone had told you at the start
So I'm sure we all have little gems of wisdom we've learnt from our time on here so far, but what's one thing you wish someone had told you when you had first started? For me it'd be not to log on MFP and literally just wait to lose the weight so I could go back to not logging what I ate and eating what I want. Its caused…

Your Christmas weight loss plans
I know its early but I felt like I had to work this out well ahead of time so that I wouldn't just completely stop logging around christmas and never get back on MFP. Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year and all the drinking and eating is part of what I love and I just don't think I could enjoy christmas if I…

How long before you started to really see results?
I was just wondering how long people on here worked out for before they saw results like catching their breath much faster and running up a flight of stairs without getting out of breath. I'm already noticing that I'm catching my breath faster after I finish working out and I've only been at it a month. Although there's a…

Girl with cancer asks Joseph gordon-Levitt on a date
So after the woman in the marines asked Justin Timberlake out on a date via youtube and he accepted it seems like more people are getting this idea. (: Anyway I just thought this was really nice and it'd be cool if she actually got the date in the end: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa8X56fKzYQ Do you think she'll get the…

Things you'll do once you've reached your goal
So I'm not talking about your rewards you've got planned once you reach your goal weight but just the little things you plan on enjoying. (: For example, I can't wait to try on the pair of jeans I've got in my wardrobe that I've never been able to fit into since I bought them. And I'm going to try on all the clothes I…

Rewarding your progress
So I've heard that a good form of motivation is to reward yourself after you reach certain goals and obviously its not a good idea to reward yourself with food or sweets, so I was just wondering what everyone else rewards themselves with? My goal is only pretty small but I'm thinking I might reward myself with this handbag…
