Crazy things said/done on 1st date!!
I am bored and thinking about some of the awful first dates I have had in the past year and thought it would be fun to share those "WTF moments" we have all had.

Let's get back on it TOGETHER
Hi all. I have been using MFP since APril 2011 and I have loved every second of it. Without MFP I would not have come as far as I have on my fitness and health goals.

Does anyone else do this?
So whenever I open an email, text, or forum topic post and the original message is as long as a novel, I do not focus on reading it very well. Actually, I tend to not read it at all and just respond in a random manner. Guess I am an impatient person who perfers to be concise. Anyone else this unfocused? Go!

Fat Burn Zone Vs. Aerobic (Anerobic)
So I just bought a HRM this week-- I love it! Anyway, I noticed that a majority of my exercising falls into the aerobic zone for HR. I have trouble staying in the fat burning zone when I go to the gym because I usually us the elliptical or stair climber so my HR is higher. The question I have might seen dumb but hear me…

Eating Disorders & MFP
Once in a while I randomly click on a friend of a friends profile and read their little blurb to see what they are all about.

Sugar Goals
So I just added sugar to my main food tracking page. I never realized until now that my daily goal is 24 grams. Is it just me or is that unrealistically low? I mean my "healthy" snack choices today like a banana and an orange each had 11 or 12 grams of sugar each. Is anyone else having problems not going over their sugar…

Body wave/perm for hair?
Hello fellow MFP friends, I have really long, straight hair and it doesn't do anything I want it to except lay straight. Although it is nice at times... sometimes I would like to be able to curl it for a special occasion (but it never stays for more than an hour). I am thinking about getting a body wave (i.e. loose perm)…

Anyone know anything regarding the safety of this product? My Mom took it to her…
