Here's a question for you...
So I'm watching the History Cannel right now (not the Sci-Fi channel).... Ok, here's my question... Do you believe there is intelligent life on other planets and do you believe they are traveling to our planet (UFO's) ?

Calories burned walking on the beach...
I just read an article about the benefits of walking on the beach at DiscoverWalking.com. The article confirmed that you burn 20% -50% more calories walking on sand than on a hard surface. It also said that walking on the beach at a slower pace burns more calories than walking the beach at a fast pace (baffling). So, I am…

Words of Wisdom
What are your favorite words of wisdom? Or what's the most important life lesson you have learned? My favorite words of wisdom, and I have said them many times, are: "Attitude is everything. Life is what you make it. Anyone can be happy if they want to be." (It stops pity parties and excuse-makers in their tracks!) Please…

Has anybody tried The Fast Metabolism Diet?
Has anybody tried The Fast Metabolism Diet? I saw a story on Good Morning America on Friday morning (4/12) about this. It was, of course, accompanied by a book promotion by Haylie Pomroy, called The Fast Metabolism Diet. I'm curious to know if this is something that has worked for people that have been stuck after losing a…

Targetting fatty areas - what's the truth?
Ok, so I hear it all the time on MFP - "You can't lose fat in one area, it happens all over!" So what's up with Dr. Oz having a nationally televised show and a reputation that's just as big, going on TV and telling us what to eat to burn fat away in target areas of your body?! i.e. Eat this to get rid of arm fat, eat this…

Venting
So I'm at work today and I ate the last piece of cake from the potluck we had yesterday. But before I did, I offered it to two other people who declined it. One of the two made his usual arrogant comments, because he can't simply say "no thank you". No, he has to make you feel bad about eating unhealthy things, so he gets…

A question...
If you work out twice a day for 30 minutes will you burn less calories than if you work out once a day for an hour? I have an exercise chart that says you don't start burning fat till after 20 minutes. If that's true then 2 short workouts are useless. Opinions / educate me?

How many of your friends log in daily / regularly?
How many of your friends log in daily, or on a regular basis? I currently have 60 friends and at least 50 of them log in regularly if not daily. The funny thing is I rarely delete people, and I have seen very few people fall off. So what that means is, from my perspective, 50 out of 60 of the people that have friended me…

Are your fingernails growing faster?
I have NEVER been able to grow my nails. I have been eating healthier for 11 months now and about a month or two ago my nails started growing! This is very strange to me! Is anyone else experiencing this?

Did you see the ABC Nightly News this evening?
There was a quick story about people with the most successful and permanent weight loss -some who have kept the weight off 10 years or more - and guess how they did it - counting calories, fat grams and carbs, (who'd a thunk it!) and never stopped tracking! One lady, in her seventies, writes everything down everyday! (Poor…

Here's another question for you...
Please humor me for a moment. I am just a middle-aged working class woman with ideas that make my husband and his brothers laugh and role their eyes at me. I think it’s time to re-invent the bicycle. It needs to compete with the automobile. It needs to be fast (up to 40 mph with ease), have a more stable wheel base, all…

My sentimental NSV
This was my mom's watch. She passed in July 2011. I have been wearing her watch since then, and it used to fit me fine - not snugly, but also not at all loose. Look at it now - very loose. But I will not move the clip on the band to tighten it up. It reminds me of her every time I look at it. :smile:

Anybody with Restless Leg Syndrome?
Anybody out there with Restless Leg Syndrome? I believe I had it. I was never diagnosed with it, but I had the symptoms and they drove me nuts. Especially at night when I got in bed. It started in 2001. The funny thing is, I don't seem to have it anymore. I don't know why - but I wonder if it has anything to do with all…

Any MFP Junkies out there?
I have never been a computer addict (except to Microsoft Excel, lol) - I have not been a Facebook fanatic, Twitter tweeter, or even a Text messager gone wild. When I started MFP I was afraid of over exposure. Now, I have to say, I am an MFP Junkie! I love to read the success stories and NSV's. I love to check in on my…

Waist measurement
I did this experiment out of curiousity... I measured my waist (the results of which always tick me off!), and then I laid down and measured my waist again. The measurement when lying down is 4 (FOUR! DAMN IT!) inches smaller! I can't even force that measurement when I'm standing up! This is very discouraging and the only…

Strength to succeed
Today would have been my mom's 87th birthday. Tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of her death. I believe she is giving me the strength to do this. How do I know? Because I asked her to help me, when she gets to the other side, to get this weight off and keep it off. At the time I said that to her (3 months before she…

calculating calories burned
Hi Everyone. Can anyone help me determine which calories burnt total to use in the MFP calorie calculator? My treadmill says 800 calories burned when I walk at a pace of 3.0 mph for 60 minutes. I walk at level 5 incline (10 is as high as it goes). I am seeing discrepancies in my calories burned when I use MFP calculator…

New to fitness pal
I just started using myfitnesspal a few days ago but I started this diet (change in my life) with the new year. I have lost lots of weight many times only to gain it back again. I do it with better food choices and exercise. The only problem I have is I keep going back to the sweets - and then I stop exercising - and get…
