Get your calories remaining on a smart watch
Shout out to all programmers on here. Has anyone had luck accessing MFP's APIs? I want to build a Watchface for my Pebble SmartWatch that displays the calories remaining for the day so I can quickly glance to see where I stand. I was thinking to add a bunch of other things like macro percentages or even alerts that makes…

No one calls me fatty anymore (pics)
Earlier today, a family member sent me this picture with a comment that read, "Look how much you've changed!" I was very camera shy back then, so I don't have many pics at my largest size. I've joined MFP in January this year after learning about it in a nutrition course. I've tried many programs and none really stuck…

I was such a running noob
LOL! I recall when I started MFP, I was so naive. I looked back at one of my early posts, and it made me chuckle: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1176684-i-want-to-try-a-short-marathon Well, fast forward to today. I've met some wonderful people that have taught me a lot and I'm running my first half marathon in 2…

My MFP Friend that motivates me! (PIC)
MFP is great when it comes to acclimating to a lifestyle of health, fitness, and nutrition. It's great that we can connect to others striving for the same goals and support each other when we need it. I'd like to take this opportunity to recognize an individual on my friends list. In order to push ourselves further and…

Me love you long time! :heart: Here's my current streak, and I don't plan on stopping any time soon Here's a pic of me at my heaviest way…

P90X3 vs Counting Calories
Actually, it's not a contest. My goal was to get fit, have endurance, and be agile. I've done numerous programs and achieved some success, but hit a plateau. Once I realized I was simply eating too much, I've started managing my portions and tracking my intake. I haven't stopped eating the foods I love; just less. I did…

Resting between sets
I like to do body resistance workouts but also do free weights. I typically do my sets in quick succession while working on different muscle groups. I want to maintain my strength for a longer period of time, but also maximize my time. I just had a discussion with someone and they said, "No, no, no. You need to rest…

Where are you now...
I want to hear from some folks that have successfully accomplished their goals year(s) ago with MFP, and how's life for you now. Do you continue to track your calories? Did the urge to binge eventually subside? Is it still a struggle to just maintain, or has any new challenges arisen? I'm starting to think that my goal…

Do you know any of these obscure quotes?
If so, I want to be FRIENDS WITH YOU! "PO-TA-TOES...Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew!" "You fell victim to one of the classic blunders...never get involved in a land war in asia, but only slightly less well known...never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line...Ha Ha" "I've always dream to square marden"…

Super fast egg white omelet
Here's an omelet I threw together this morning and it turns out to be under 100 calories: - 3 to 4 tbsp of egg whites (enough to cover the pan - I use the egg whites in the carton) - 4 slices of Canadian ham (chopped) - 3 tbsp of fresh chopped salsa (I use the Hot Giant/Martins brand) - bring non-stick pan to medium heat -…

Homemade Granola (stvsan)
It's delicious and great as a snack, topping, or cereal. One batch lasts 2 weeks in my family. I usually just eat a handful as a snack but my wife loves it on yogurt. It also gives plain cereal extra flavor. I'm an early exerciser so this is a good morning boost and gives me the energy I need for workouts without feeling…

New and on a lonely journey
I'm a programmer so I sit at my desk all day. I was motivated to change my lifestyle and get in shape after having a struggling moment to simply tie my shoes. Since then, I've lost about 40 pounds doing P90x, and P90x2, and Insanity. I've come to realize I can't simply exercise my weight down and needed to change my eating…
