Post a pic
Hey guys, Is it just me or does anyone else feel everyone should post a pic on their profile? I think it should be a pic of yourself, but if you want to put your child, spouse, pet, toy, transformer, car, etc...it is ok. At least we can get a glimpse as to who you are. I dont agree with it, but even posting a picture of a…

By the numbers.
Of my 36 friends I have on MFP, 32 or 89% have logged on today. The other 11% or 4 logged in yesterday, and probably will later on. That means I have 100% commitment from my MFP friends in this journey. I guarantee that Farmville oe Cafe World doesn't have half that number. Keep up the awesome job friends, and remember,…

i have yet to see anyone complete their daily log and be over their caloric goal. Is it that people do not complete on days they are over, or is everyone on here just that disciplined...IJS.

How much is too much?
This post will be edited to protect the innocent!!! I recently looked a young lady's profile and she says she wanted to lose 21 pounds. Currently she is "20 years old", weighs "110 pounds". I did not get any info on the height so cannot speak on that. She is concerned that she has plateaued and thinks that she will be able…

Graduation present re-gifting
So, I was wondering what to get my neighbors son who graduated this year. I did not recall if they bought my son anything when he graduated last year, not to mention the fact that they did not go to see him graduate, but I thought $100 would be good. My wife went through my son's gift from last year, and suprisingly found…

Feeling bad about taking a day off...
Man, I got the "I took a day off Blues". Did not do any exercise today, and felt a little down about it,until I weighed myself and saw I am holding. My point is we all need to take days away from the gym, and feel good about it. Lest we forget, the race is not given to the swift, but he who endureth to the BMI of 25...So I…

Cardio first...Resistance first.
So what came first, Cardio or Resistance. My trainer said you should do resistance first, and here is what some experts say. Good point can be found on both sides, but MFPers, what say ye? http://weighttraining.about.com/od/techniquesandstrategies/a/cardio_weights_2.htm

The WALL...PLATEAU...BRICK or whatever you call it
OK fellow MFPers, It seems as if I have hit the wall. In the past week, I have done all i am supposed to do and some and nothing. I am putting out more than I am taking in and no weight came off. In fact, I appear to have gained. My simple question to you guys is...How do you get over the wall? Signed, Desperate to escape…

Crystal Light, Hawaiian Punch, Snapple...etc PACKETS
First of all, I hate drinking plain old water. I usually add flavored packets to make water more palatable. Am I sabotaging my diet by doing so? Also, what say ye about diet drinks? I am sure there are pros and cons on both sides, and would like to hear both so I am able to make a good decision for me. Thanks MFPers.

Treadmill calorie counter
I do a lot of treadmill walking and usually use that for my calorie counter. I am able to input my weight(usually go 5# less than actual wt), and then go from there. I am curious to know if anyone has any insight how accurate they are and can I rely on that as a guide. Thanks.
