Does Driving Actually Burn Calories?
I've seen where people have added calories burned from driving and it is even in the Cardiovascular Exercise database. Do you really burn calories driving? I have a long day trip tomorrow (about 7 hours to destination) and wonder if I'll actually burn while driving. Opinions? Fact? Fiction? Thanks!

Looking for Early Morning Walking Partners
Hey there! I like to get out and walk the Cross Seminole or Orange County trails (There are some in Volusia, but meh!) on Saturday and Sunday mornings. I like to get an early start (dawn) and walk for an hour or so. I usually end up at a Starbucks or something like that and would like to have someone to walk and talk with…

Sunrise!
How many people love a beautiful sunrise? How many love it but are never up early enough to see one? I love a beautiful, quiet morning and the sunrise but I'm normally at the gym or in the shower at the time. This morning I'm going to sit on my deck and enjoy one! But I'm up super early and still have 2 hours to go!

Don't you hate it when.....?
Your on the treadmill, elliptical, arc trainer or really anywhere in the gym and someone just lets one rip next to you like nothing happened? No excuse me or anything! I mean I'm sure we all have had one slip out while doing abs, etc.. but at least be civil and excuse yourself! What else really annoys you at the gym?

Getting Back on Track
Tomorrow I MUST get back on track. Did sooooooo well before I went to a wedding in mid-November and then it was downhill from then on. With Thanksgiving and pre-holiday get togethers, Christmas, vacation and New Years, I've made all the excuses for not eating well. ENOUGH! I WILL get back on the program tomorrow!

Alternative Low Calorie/Fat Toppings for a Baked Potato
I sometimes use a low-fat or fat free sour cream when at home. But what do you do when out and all they have for options are butter, regular sour cream, etc.... I've used low calorie, low fat dressings but those too are sometimes hard to find at restaurants.... Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

How much is a Stone in Pounds?
I tried looking it up online and I found anywhere from 12 to 19 pounds equals one stone. Since there are lots of people on MFP who list their weight / weight loss in stones, I'm curious! Thanks!

The 4-Hour Body / Slow-Carb Diet
Anyone ever try this? The book, The 4-Hour Body by Tim Ferriss sounds really interesting and by his own admittance, can be extreme in some areas. Some of it sounds like solid research on his part, but not the normal of calories in versus calories out and achieving a deficit. The idea of "slow carbs" vegetables, legumes,…

Any low fat, low calorie Corned Beef and Cabbage recipes?
I'm looking for some low calorie, low fat corned beef and cabbage recipes. I'm thinking of doing something different than the standard boil. I sometimes "fry" my cabbage in pam with a little Splenda, a little sugar and salt and pepper. Yummy! I made something last year that actually was a sweet and sour corned beef but I…

Anyone Ever Tried the Quick Gym 4-Minute Workout?
You know, the one advertised in Sky Mall and in some men's magazines (and maybe women's magazines) that claims you can get a full, hign intensity work out in 4minutes! It's like $15,000 but is supposed to be the ultimate machine you can own. Is it all hype and crap for someone with disposable cash or is it really worth the…

Is everyone making Easter a "Free" or "Cheat" Day?
Obviously we can't just blow it all today, but with the family gatherings, associated food and candy does anyone have a game plan? I'm trying to eat light all day today and ate a little under my allowance yesterday to prepare for the onslaught of food and goodies. I'm cooking today so I can make some "light" dishes and I'm…

OK; What's going on?
I started MFP three weeks ago (almost) after lossing weight by restricting calories and working out. I didn't always eat back my workout calories, but probably did most of the time... Days I didn't workout I was miserable since my calorie level was low (aprox 1500). Since starting MFP I lost 1.8 lbs. week 1; gained back…

New Guy Here... Left CC after finding MFP on my iPhone
I've been using Calorie Count for about 3 years with some success; but the whole site is not user friendly and it shows consumption and total calories but not the great countdown and nutient values like MFP. Seems like a great site and hope I can attain my goal of 25 pounds (there was a lot more before that!) in a few…
