Favourite Song Lyrics
So, I was out walking and listening to music today and I realised how many songs have lyrics that actually speak to me in some way....today's was Murdered in the City by the Avett Brothers and the line is: "always remember there was nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share our name" That line always makes me…

I know I will deeply regret posting this....
but, I feel as though I have missed something and I NEED to know what the hell everyone is talking about when they refer to "kitten" in their posts. Please enlighten me (and then I will delete this post to try and avoid looking like a complete dolt).

Prepping for a 10K
Okay MFP peeps, I am seriously considering signing up for a 10K race which is to take place on May 29. I have never run 10K before but I (fast) walk long distances regularly (about 7k/hour for an hour at lunch) and I have done some treadmill running (I can do about an hour on the treadmill at a 10k per hour pace). I have…

Monogamy and the argument against it
On the radio last night I heard the recap of one of our popular morning shows (on the national broadcaster). I was in the car on my way home from having dinner with a friend and when I realised what they were talking about, I HAD to pull over and listen to as much of the interview as I could. This is the link to the…

Acronyms
Can someone please post the definitions for some of the commonly used acronyms on this site? I haven't a real clue what half of them mean (I mean I can guess but it's just a guess) Specifically IIFYM, keto, IF, HIIT and CICO (although I think that must be Calories In Calories Out) and any others you can think of. Thanks!

Not sure how to phrase this question...
So, when I see pictures of traditionally good looking guys with nicely toned bodies, I find them attractive. They are the people that, in my mind, I would see myself wanting to date... However, I have never dated anyone who was all that "fit". All of my partners tended much more toward average (not large but most had some…

MFP Calorie counting versus Machines
A million apologies if this question has been asked before. When I do a work out on my elliptical machine it keeps track of calories burned, strides, time etc...like all machines do. I generally do somewhere around 40 minutes at a 50 rpm pace and the machine normally tells me (pretty consistently) that I am somewhere…

Favourite thing about yourself
There's a lot of "tell the site what you think about someone else" but I am curious about how people see themselves. So, what is your best quality? It can be a physical characteristic or a personality trait or both or something else all together. For me, my best physical characteristic is my legs but the personality trait…

Website Nutritional Guides
I went out to dinner last night at a chain restaurant (Milestones) here in Ottawa (Canada) and I checked the website for calorie count on the dish I like before I went. I was shocked at the number of calories they listed for their Grilled Chicken Salad without dressing (520). The salad consists of shaved chicken, greens,…

Newbie saying Hi!
So, I signed up for this site in March and then completely snoozed on it until just recently....now, I am completely OBSESSED!! I have been tracking like a crazy woman and trying to earn as many exercise calories as possible and I seeing some results. I have struggled for most of my adult life with not being "big" but…
