I <3 the treadmill!
Last night, I decided to leave my phone/pedometer in my pocket and see how the calories differed from what the treadmill tells me I burn. My phone has me put in my weight and height, versus just my weight like the treadmill does so I figure it's more accurate. I ended up burning 60 more calories than the treadmill said and…

Teeth grinding at night
So a few nights this week, my bf has woken me up by the sound of him grinding his teeth. He just started doing this probably in the last 2 weeks, he never did it before. I know it's probably from stress because he just paid off his property tax and then has school taxes he has to pay but it's kind of annoying being woken…

Need help with on-the-go snack ideas!
I have training for my job at a different office tomorrow & thursday and everyone there always has their fridge PACKED so I'll be limited to what I can bring for food. So... I need something that doesn't necessarily have to be refrigerated but will give me the nutrients I need. You can check out my diary to see what I…

Mmmm, homemade cheese!
I follow this girl on her blog, Rachel. She does a lot of "homemaker" type things and today she posted about making her own Indian (Paneer) cheese! I thought this was so cool and I want to try it! I thought it'd be great for those of us on here who like to know what exactly is in our food! This... only milk and lime juice,…

Good sports bras
I own a total of six sports bras. Two are inside those work out tanks. Only one fits but it's a little big so it's not that supportive. I usually wear a tighter tank over it and that helps. The other doesn't fit anymore because of my belly so I can't wear it yet. 2 are Nike sports bras and I love them, they're great and…

Changed my carb/protein/fiber percentages
So I was looking at my diaries from the past couple days to see how much fiber I'd been getting and realized my protein % was kind of low...and substantially different than the piece of paper I wrote all my %s down on when I first joined MFP, when I'd lost 1 lb per week. I had clicked on a link someone posted & the guy…

Cute work out clothes!
I've been looking for cute work out clothes but they're all sooo expensive. All my shorts are too loose so I get stuck wearing mesh track pants 'cause they have a drawstring or this one pair of biking shorts 'cause they WERE tight in my middle but now they're also getting too big. That leaves me with booty shorts or…

Burning more than your exercise goal
This week and last week I have burned more calories than my goal set by MFP... and I'm just wondering if anyone is or has experienced this and what you've discovered about it. Is it beneficial to do this? Will I lose weight quicker? Should I stay closer to my goal? Is working out this much bad for me? Last week I went over…

Indian food
So I have this free lunch from a nearby Indian restaurant. I've never tried Indian and I don't have enough food at work or time on my lunch break to get what I need...so I was thinking of using my coupon. Thing is, I don't know what it's like calorie-wise... if I'm going to watch my calories (I have 600 left and am going…

Who's excited for strapless stuff??
It took me about 2 years to find a good strapless bra to hold up the girls and I hate it. It's huge and I can barely wear it with anything because nothing fits because it's so thick and padded. So I've put off strapless stuff...plus, the little arm fat that hangs over. Girls, you know!! I know once I've lost all my weight,…

I'm going to have 600 extra calories!!! Ideas??
I put in all the food I plan to eat for the day...but I'm doing a kickboxing class tonight. On Glamour's calculator, it says I'll burn 791 calories... now, the girls at my gym say the class I take is FASTER than kickboxing so I can imagine the calorie burn is higher but I'm not always going as fast as I should so I stick…

I went further than I thought I could!!
Usually when I'm on the Stair Master, my legs get tired and I quit at about mile 3 which is usually 30 minutes... but yesterday I decided I want to kick up my work outs to 45 minutes and try to burn closer to 400 calories instead of 300 since I haven't been losing much. So last night, I did my arm work out and then jumped…
