Ford Fiesta?!
Howdy, good folks. I'm trying to buy a new car ... my friend suggested a Ford Fiesta... Thoughts?! Anyone have a 2012 they can review?

protein-y snacks?
I'm a big snacker. I think sometimes the snack section(S) on my log are more cals than my meals. But, I have a tendancy to go for carby snacks. Obviously veggies & fruits are good so I'm guilt-free on those, but I'd love to hear some more options! And they don't have to be necessarily "low-cal;" I can handle portion…

5'5" girlies?!
Hiiiiii girls I'm sure there are dozens of posts with my same question, but I dislike the search feature on this site :P Soooooo how many calories would you recommend for a 5'5" "lightly active" 20-something-year-old girl? I started on the site at 1200. I lost some weight but ended up semi-binging a few times because I…

anyone work in healthcare?
I made a huge mistake at work about a month ago...just found out about it today - anyone familiar with HIPAA? What happened was: The two patients had the same name. The patient I saw should have been "created" in the system as a new patient, but I logged them under the other/existing account. The middle initial/birthdays…

breathing.. yes really
okay, so I know that breathing is important. duh. but I was curious about how in yoga/pilates/etc they're always saying WHEN in inhale, WHEN to exhale.. how crucial is that to the success of the workout? I do realize that sometimes if I'm trying really hard or concentrating on something I tend to hold my breath, but…

Sugaaar!
So, since adding sugar to my food log... I go over EVERY DAYYY Even on days like today, where I didn't eat any sweets (or even any fruit...) I hit the red around lunch time. I realize that MFP doesn't distinguish between the "good" and "bad" sugars, but is there a more reasonable number that I could aim for? It's currently…

awkward
Hi all, I'm poking my nose out into the forums with the hopes of meeting a few new friends on here. I'd love to be able to snoop through people's diaries that are of a similar age and/or weight loss goal so that I have some similar folks to be inspired by! I'm 22, and I'd like lose about 20-25lbs. Sounds like an awkward…

beating a dead horse
Newbie here <--- Ssssoooooo Should I make my goal to eat my BMR calories (about 1400) or should I eat the 1200 MFP has suggested? This is not including exercise calories... Seen suggestions for both. What confuses me is why MFP would tell me one thing while suggesting another? Grarr Thanks, sorry if I'm being blonde

migraines & exercise?
Anyone else a migraine sufferer?? I only started getting migraines 2-3 years ago, and not SUPER often... but I can tell what triggers them now: hormones (ya know, that "time-of-the-month"), and EXERCISE. Now this is just unfair. It doesn't happen 100% of the time, but as far as I can tell it doesn't have much to do with my…

dieting ADD
well helloooooo there I've been half-heartedly using the site for a bit now, but I'm thinking it's time to get serious! Whenever I start a diet/plan/etc I just switch it up before I dedicate or see results. Diet ADD. I've gained 20ish pounds over the last two years that I would love to get rid of. I think having 3 jobs…
