Can't. Stop. Peeing.
I know I'm supposed to be drinking more water but I can't stand peeing all the time!!! About an hour after I start drinking it, I just keep peeing, like every 15 minutes. It gets so bad that I dread having to go to town (we live about 25 minutes from the nearest small town and an hour from the larger towns) b/c I can't…

Goals!
So here we go again. Same old, same old for me every year. I work out/lose weight in the spring/summer, then start putting it back on in the fall (hibernation??) with it getting worse between Halloween and Christmas! But this is the biggest I've ever been! 5'4" Starting at 173.7 lbs. Goal - 145 lbs (my profile pic is my…

weighing meat?
I just read that many people weight their meat and put it in baggies to freeze. Is 3oz of chicken the same raw as cooked?

How many calories in a sausage and bun from a cart?
The cart I bought it from didn't have the nutritional info and I can't find anything in the data base that might be close to a sausage and bun from a sausage cart. What would be your best guess?

HR monitor says.........
I burned 362 calories doing 60 minutes of yard work. Do I enter 362 calories as my exercise (which will give me an extra 362 calories to eat)? But wouldn't I have burned some calories doing nothing for 60 minutes?
-
Grapefruit?
Dr. Oz said that grapefruit (all citrus, actually) is a great fat burner. Do you think the fat burning benefits of grapefruit juice would outweight the caloric intake of grapefruit juice? I looked at 2 kinds today - regular grapefruit juice for 150 cal per cup and a low cal grapefruit cocktail for 40 cal per cup. Which…
-
Headbands?
I think I need one. I've been sweating so much working out that the sweat gets in my eyes and burns. But all I can think of are those fuzzy 70s bands. Ew! Do they have something a little 'cooler' on the market now?
-
Bread crust
This is probably a dumb question but, how many calories do you think bread crust is? I don't usually eat the crust so if 2 slices of bread are 170 calories, do you think I'm saving very many calories by not eating the crust?

Low Cal Banana Recipes?
I have a bunch of ripe bananas to use up. Any suggestions?

Cardio tones/strengthens muscle?
Do you think 1 hour per day on the elliptical will actually tone or strengthen any of my muscles? (quads? arms?)

HRM & machine reading
I just found my Polar F7 watch (it's been missing for 2 weeks) and so I was excited to compare my new used Nordic Track elliptical calorie burn against my HRM. My HRM was pretty close to my old Body Break machine, so I really surprised when my HRM showed 291 today but the Nordic Track showed 409! And I know I was working…

Recipe Analyzer?
Do you have a favourite (EASY) recipe builder that breaks down the nutritional info?

Low cal margarine?
I'm looking for a low cal margarine that won't make my toast soggy! I was using Becel Light but that makes it soggy. Any suggestions?

Elliptical and your arms?
Does it actually do anything for your arms? If yes, which muscles?

Homemade hamburger patties?
Do you have a great, low cal recipe using lean ground beef?

Too much protein?
I get that too many carbs are not good, and surprisingly enough (b/c I LOVE carbs!) I have been 'in the green' for the last couple of days. On the other hand, I have been going over my alotted protein. I know that we should be balancing them, but what are the pitfalls of too much protein?

Same workout - fewer calories burned?
I just finished my 4th day of the 30 Day Shred and my calories burned is getting lower each day! Day 1 - 237 Day 2 - 213 Day 3 - 210 Day 4 - 189 I feel like I'm working hard (lots of panting and sweating!) and I don't think I'm ready to move to the next level yet (haven't mastered all of the moves). This might be a stupid…
-
3/4 cup of pasta?
If the box and MFP says 3/4 cup pasta is 300 calories, do they mean 3/4 cup COOKED pasta, or 3/4 cup raw pasta (which would expand to more than 3/4 cup cooked)?
-
Breaking up my workouts?
We just got an ellilptical and I find that I can't go for much longer than 20 minutes at a time. Is it ok to do two 20 minute workouts in a day, or should I really be trying to push it longer? Aside from physically, logistically it's also easier to break it up (I do it when my daughter naps).

Please recommend an elliptical!
I want to buy an elliptical - something not too big - it has to fit in my living room. Any suggestions?

Do I have to eat all of my daily calories?
Hi! I'm new here and I'm just starting to get the hang of counting calories. I love how easy it is to do with myfitnesspal! Question though - I've been working out a lot and it is giving me extra calories. Do I have to use all of my calories or is that only a recommended upper limit?

Has anyone tried Wii's Jenny McCarthy workout?
How do you like it? How does it compare to Wii Fit or EA Active?

169 calories burned in 39 minutes
I just slowly went through some of the Wii Fit Plus exercises and my HRM showed 169 calories in 39 minutes. Not a great workout! lol Especially for the time invested! But my question is, do I log 169 calories for exercise, when wouldn't I have almost burnt that much if I had just been sitting at my computer for the last 39…

I don't have access to a treadmill anymore so I'm doing the running on Wii Fit Plus. And I feel like I'm not doing it right. Are there any tips for good form or how best to run on the spot?

Does it really help burn fat?

What's your favourite Wii exercise game?
Slim in 6's BIU was killing my knees and I don't have access to the treadmill and elliptical anymore, so that leave the Wii. I have the original Wii Fit which was ok when I was first starting, but I found it kind of slow moving between exercises (I can never get the cursor thing to land on the option I want!) Any…

Strange! Eat more, exercise less and LOSE weight?
I had been working out almost everyday since January 4, and eating fairly well (certainly WAY better than before Jan 4) and I had only lost 5.5 lbs. And didn't even have a loss last week! My knee has been killing me so I haven't done my Slim in 6 workout since Friday, I binged on some junk food this weekend, didn't even do…

DVD recommendations that won't kill my knees?
I've been doing Slim in 6 and the squats, lunges and plies are killing my knees! Particularly my right knee. So I haven't done it for 3 days trying to give my knee a rest and it's still achy. I don't want to fall off the wagon - this is the first time in ages I've stuck with something for more than a few weeks, but I don't…
