Strip Poker
So if you were to participate in a game of strip poker, what would you wear Would you show up in nothing more than a bathing suit and your best poker face? Or more like a desert native visiting Antarctica?

Reason for Vegan?
In a previous thread, there was a discussion regarding veganism. It sparked my curiosity. And while some of my questions have been answered by Google, Wiki and other vegan MFP users I'm grateful to have met, I wanted to open this up to public forum: What is your reason for being vegan? According to what I've found, there…

Mile Marker 62
At the beginning of this year, I didn't make a resolution - I set a goal. My goal was to run 10mi/wk, no excuses. Fast forward to the close of January and I am happy to announce that not only did I achieve my goal - I blew it out of the water. I ran 62mi this month! Which comes out to about 18mi more than what kind set out…

BK Delivery?!?
So I'm sitting here, burning calories because I'm on MFP and I hear a news bite about Burger King is now going to start delivery?!? Are you kidding? As if the triple whopper and biggie fries weren't enough, you can now get a heart attack brought right to your door. Seriously?!? **end rant**

Runners & Tattoos...
So I don't consider myself a runner...but I run a lot (about 15mi or more a week). I've lost a lot of people in the past year, but the one that hit me the hardest was my great-grandma. She was truly the matriarch of our family, she beat cancer four times, outlived three husbands, worked two jobs and lived by herself up…

On Top of Spaghettiiiiiiii
Okay, I was supposed to write On Top of the World, but then the Meatball song jumped in my head and I went with it. But anyway, onto business. What makes you over-the-moon happy? What makes your day and makes you feel like you're on top of the world? Me: I just booked a flight home. I'm going to grace the Eastern Shore of…

When Do You Feel Sexiest?
For me, it's after a work-out. I'm hot, sweaty, spent and outta breath - but nothing beats that sense of pride, confidence and accomplishment! Or when I'm wearing a corset and stilettos (don't judge me, it's my girlie self-indulgence)

If I Told You
You had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?

Best. Dessert. EVER.
So in my hypoglycemia-induced need for late night snackage, I rummaged through the cabinets for a low-cal, kinda-carby snack. Here's what I came up with: 1 Fiber One Peanut Butter Brownie 2 Tbsp PB2 ***Instead of making the PB2 with water, use Walden Farms Chocolate Syrup Slather ooey-gooey, peanut buttery goodness over…

Spend My Money!
Okay, I just bought Insanity...but I'm still under my spending limit so I'm allowing myself one more workout set. I'm trying to decide between P90X and TurboFire. I've never done ANY BeachBody workouts, just heard about them. So I'm asking for your opinion - with a justification! Tell me which one you prefer and why! (And…

Reflexes
What is your reflex to a stressful situation? For me: Changes in relationship status (whether good or bad) result in alcohol consumption at an above-legally-recommended level

Soops or Sleep?
You ever get those late-night cravings where you want something, anything...but you're not sure if it's worth the trouble? Counting calories - burned, consumed and net balance - (when did life become such a math problem?) So which would you rather have? A little late night soop? Or sleep?

Buy One, Get One!!
Buy one, get one half price blizzards at DQ... Why are Americans fat? Because a half price blizzard weighs less than a full price blizzard!

Back Injuries & Exercise
So today, my physical therapist informed me "no more exercise until you've got 1 week of daily activities without pain" - I nearly said, "Well, my daily activities include exercise" - but that's just me being a smartass. For those of you with low back pain/low back injuries or exercise restrictions in general...what are…

Oddball NSV
So after my work-out, I'm drenched with sweat (normal) but before my shower, I make my protein shake. Typically, it's cold because I add extra ice to convince myself I'm rehydrating. So between "cool-down" phase and "drinking frozen protein shake/smoothie" phase...I generally freeze for about 1-2 hours. Tonight, I'm…

Droop Doggy Dog
So I've been weight loss journeying for about 6-7 weeks on MFP. The scale has frustrated me, but metrics have kept me going. At work, I earned the nickname "Droop Doggy Dogg" because my khakis are forever falling down. P.S. They are sizes 13-15, depending on the pair. So today at WalMart, I decided to grab a new pair that…

81g of Fiber?!?
Hahaha, so I think this is a personal best. I'm a bit of a fiber fanatic but I think today I've outdone myself...I finished the day with 81g of fiber. Seriously. I'm not even sure how that was possible. (Fiber Plus Antioxidant cereal, fruit, veggies and red bean chili is how, if you were wondering). What's your highest…

Walking For Weight Loss
Okay ladies, like many of you, I'm no marathoner. Today, I did a 2 mile with the pup at a 15:00mile pace (4mph). Which is essentially a power walk with stops for potty breaks. After I dropped the dog off, I traded my jeans and Victoria Secret bra for Soffe shorts and a high-impact boob-squishing sports bra, grabbed my hand…

Sick of Long Sleeves!
So I've been on the healthy bandwagon for a little over a month now. If anyone has checked the calendar, it's the end of May. Temperatures are in the mid-70's and above. I'm wearing long sleeves. And wearing a jacket out to my truck to go to work. I know being cold all the time is normal at first. But how long is this…

RHR - Low?!?
So i just got a new HRM today to get a more accurate idea of calorie burn during my work-outs. Part of the calculations required resting heart rate, so I took my pulse...58? I checked again...60. So I finished setting up the HRM and I put it on just to see what it would say my RHR is and depending on what I'm doing, I'm…

Exercising/Exorcising Emotions
Anyone ever notice how close those words are? Scary, right? Anyway, down to business. I'm like a lot of people, when I get angry/upset/aggravated/annoyed/down...I need an outlet. So many people turn to exercise to exorcise their demons. On one hand, I completely agree because I'm guilty of it. On the other, what is that…

Where For Art Thou Appetite?
I'm trying to eat dinner. I've got 700 calories to scarf down tonight (before exercise). And almost done with my salad. I've still got shrimpies, blueberries, Chobani, sugar-free jello and an organic granola bar to choose from. I want nothing. I'm not hungry. UGH! Anyone having issues keeping their appetite? Mine comes and…

Hello From OZ!
Also known as Kansas. Anyone else in or around my area? I've developed a slight/mild (and by slight/mild, I mean extreme) obsession with MFP - it's keeping me on track!
