Human rights?
Or specifically, burglars. If someone broke into your home, tripped over something and hurt themselves, they could sue you for it. How the hell does that make sense. Or if you try to stop them, and punch them, they could sue you for assault. At what point does human rights stop? Personally i think that if you break into…

Hmm.."average portion"
I just noticed something. I have Chicken Legs twice a week. The packaging says an "average leg" is 257 cals. Great! Times 2 is 514 cals. No problem! Then i read a bit more on the inside label. Indeed, it repeats that per leg number. But looking at the per 100g got me a bit ... suspicious. Per 100g its around 220. The…

Why all the sugar concern lately?
Has MFP only just implemented the sugar tracking? Did some new huge report come out on sugar? For the first 5 months i was here sugar was barely mentioned! Now there's been almost 20 threads on it in the last week alone!

So, we know what men think of stretch marks on women. How do women feel about stretch marks on men?

Is it only here in the UK...
...where we hate Halloween? Or is it simply in this area where i live? It's a terrible time of year. Bunches of chavs going round in a sheet, demanding money or they'll slash your car tyres...

Aren't we overcomplicating this?
I've thought this for a while. Stop eating this! This causes cancer! No really, it does!1!! This is bad for you! That is bad for you! Dont eat this! Dont drink that! Only eat moss! Armadillo poo on toast boosts your metabolism! I read it on teh interweb! etc etc etc. Really people? Calories in/out for most of us. Unless…

Help required!
Ok, all you image searchers! Years ago, i found an image that i had on my work pc desktop at this time of year. But now, i just can't find it anymore! It was a snowy scene. It was looking down into a valley at night, covered in snow, with all the houselights bright, like little pinpricks of light. It was a sort of…

Something in the air...
today? The forums have been more "honest" that usual, which i approve! From Siav with her foster tits to people taking offence at accurate answers to their sauna workout...has something in the air thinned people's skins, or have people had enough and are now being honest?! Gogo honesty folk! :D

Silly Survey!
Where should chocolate be kept? In the Fridge or In the Cupboard? Doesn't matter if you dont eat it anymore, you still have a favourite as to where it should be kept!

My lowest point...
I am now completely and utterly ****ing depressed. Not with my weight loss, that's the easy bit. Just everything else. The fact that i now realise i will have lots of loose skin started it off. It's really making me think why the **** am i even doing this. It won't change my life, that'll still suck balls. My wife is now…

Why do you use MFP?
Purely for the sake of curiosity, I was wondering today the reason people use this site. I'm not after long explanations, but we all come here primarily for one thing, the other features are bonuses. So...do you use it for: 1) The calorie counting. 2) The support. 3) The community in general 4) Something else Myself, it's…

Ab work without lying on my back...?
Due to a recent (well, nearly 2 weeks now) injury to my tailbone, I cannot do anything lying on my back. Hell, i cant even sit on a hard floor or lay on it either. At my circuit training I'm having to do different things when it comes to the abs station. Other than the Plank, what else could i do for my abs that doesn't…

I'm sure we've all had...
...those times when you just wish the ground would open up and swallow you. When you really put your foot in your mouth... My ultimate one isn't funny, it's completely unintentionally horribly bad, but i just didnt know! I can't even bring myself to say it... So what are yours?

Clothing...
OK, im finally getting clothes that "fit" me, as opposed to wearing everything baggy. However, im in a dilemma. I have stretchmarks on my arms, inside my biceps, some reaching to the inside of my elbow. I've always worn t-shirts big so the longer sleeves always at least reach to my elbows. Now however, clothes that "fit"…

Small NSV!
...i can now do pressups! :D Not many, sure, but tonight at circuit training when it came to pressups i thought lets try real ones, no knees this time. On my toes, body straight...never ever been able to even do one like that before...but i did 7 in a row tonight! It shows that as im losing fat, and maybe even gaining a…

DDR/Dancing Stage
Anyone else do this to a decent level? It's amazing cardio for me, and its the only thing that gets my heart rate past 185! People think its just step-pause-step-pause...but when you are doing up to 5 steps a second...it soon gets the blood pumping! My HRM says that on average, doing 45 mins of 9 footers, i get an average…

Finally, Summer is over!
Anyone else hate summer? It's all hot, sticky, sweaty, flies everywhere, etc etc. Since we are now officially in Autumn, time for lovely cool evenings, leaves everywhere, and the xmas buildup! Plus...it means Winter is coming!!! Snow!! :D :D Snow and Xmas turn me into a big kid! Normally though i save up my Sainsburys…

Clothing!
Ok, this feels really .... odd to talk about, but im hoping some people here have had, or will be having, the same experience. Im been in sweatpants and plain t-shirts for...well, as long as i can remember, being big as long as i can remember. Now however, im getting to the stage where i can wear what i want to wear.…

Calories burnt vs Calories i would have burnt anyway
Ok, here's the example. I go bowling on thursday nights. With my HRM, it tells me i burned 423 calories. In two hours. Now, is that really a burn of 423, or is it 423 less 180ish i would have burnt if i was just sitting still doing nothing? Would i eat back 423, or 143? Also, BMR v daily calorie count + exercise calories.…

HRMs and calories burned
So i just got my Polar FT4, and did my first session with it. After 33 minutes of DDR, id burned 514 calories, with a maximum heartrate of 187 during the hard songs. My question is this. Should i pause my HRM in the 30 second intervals between songs, when im standing there recovering? Are calories only being burned when…

NSV that opened my eyes!
This is probably nothing special to most, but it was a huge eye opener for me. Like most people i cant really see a change due to my weight loss, as I wear sweatpants 99.99% of the time since giving up my job to look after my wife. If i pull them out like they do in weight loss adverts, id just think "Oh, its because its…

An odd sensation...
Im now trying to eat MORE calories. Its very odd. For some reason my brain has latched onto the eat less, lose weight train. So much so that my metabolism has all but stopped. My BMR is around 3.1k with all the exercise i do, but im averaging around 1700 cal for the last few weeks. Im now no longer looking at healthy…

Best tasting thing in the world!
What, to you, is the nicest thing, in terms of flavour, you ever had...and are you still having it? For me, its the skin of a roasted chicken leg. Its just sooooooo tasty. Sadly, its also a huge part of the calories and fat of the chicken leg. If i dont have the skin, its one of my healthiest dinners. If i DO have the…

Alternatives to your usual snacks.
After shopping for a few weeks, looking at every snack going and comparing calories, fat, etc, and finding some that surprised me, i thought itd be a good idea to share what we use/found etc, to give us something else to try. Obviously this'll differ country to country, but ill start us off with some from the UK. Danone…
