I am actually well over 250!
I read somewhere recently that a person is "good enough" (or whatever wording they used) to burn no more or less than 250 work out calories per day. I am usually at about 500 calories burned per day. Can we get away with doing less and be "okay"??? Ideas, thoughts...…

Now I am humiliated???
I hope I'm not making an idiot of myself. Someone sent me a note saying my HRM might be off since I burned so many calories yesterday working out. It is a fairly new monitor and when I log in my calories it clocks it in within a few calories of the exercise calories programmed on MFP. I am now feeling stupid, humiliated…

Reports and Grades!
I'm reading up on some of the boards today and I'm wondering...If you could give yourself a grade for your efforts, what would you give yourself? Working out = Healthy eating = Staying within calories = Motivation = Give yourself an A, B, C, D, or F

Coping with Addiction to Food
A friend and I were talking about weight loss a while back. We both came to the strangest agreement about our favorite "bad foods"... 1. They will always be there... 2. I already know what they taste like, so I don't have to go back and "try it" at every opportunity... 3. I can get that food when I have "earned" it, not…

What's it called???
The other day when we took some paths at the beach for biking I saw a family who was biking. On the back of their bikes was a single "post" sticking out from under the seat. On this post they had something that looked like a soft ice chest or soft lunch box sitting on the post. I was trying to inquire about a trail they…

I don't hate my body so much and I want to thank all the little people who have pushed/ignored/answered/snuggled/and tolerated me over the past few months so I could get what remains of some of my schexy back... :laugh: Thanks MFP friends for your support! Keep up the good work, I still have 20 pounds to go! :tongue:

More great information!
I wanted to pass a website on to everyone. I was curious the other day about my level of fitness and trying to balance things out to get an "all over fitness ability," not just a good runner or biker. I love trying new things and found this site helpful with fitness AND calorie information.…

Pavement Pound-er?
For those out running and pounding the pavement, I am trying to figure out if I can call myself a real "runner" yet. :tongue: Can you share with me? How often are you running per week? How far do you run each time? How long does it take you to run a mile? How many calories do you burn each time?
