NYC Beginner Running Buddy?
Hey! I'm an Upper East Sider looking for a newbie running buddy for some co-motivation. I was thinking maybe 1x a week, 2x max we could meet up at Central Park for a walk/run. Right now I can jog for about 4 minutes then walk for 1-2 then jog again. Was thinking of starting on the reservoir and then moving to the larger…

Calories burned in bed...
Has anyone thought about calories burned in the sack? Esp when you're on top for a long time! There's nothing listed on MFP so I did some googling and the numbers are all over the place. I think my BF would be pretty p.o.'ed if I wore my HRM while we went at it!

Sugar and Fat and Carbs OH MY!
I try to eat a relatively balanced diet with fruits and veggies and carbs and protein mixed in. I tend to be a little under my protein goal and go over on the fats/sugar on a regular basis. If I'm staying within my calorie goal and exercise regularly (but not eating back ALL of the exercise calories), I'm wondering if this…

(Cheesy) Crockpot Shredded Chicken - 234 cals!
I made this last weekend and I've been eating it for lunch or dinner every day! It's great over rice, over salad, in tacos, or inside a quesedilla (sp?). The cheddar soup makes it a little soupy so you can omit that if you want, but I would prob throw in 1/2 block of low fat cream cheese to up the creamy factor.…

Estimating Calories
I feel like I've become dependent on entering exactly what I'm eating into my food diary and I've lost the confidence to know that I've made the right choices when I can't. I tend to go to lunch to these fancy "buffet" to-go places in Manhattan near my office...and example of what I'll get - -1"x2" piece of veggie frittata…

Has anyone done a cleanse?
Has anyone done a cleanse- like blueprint or one of those? I've been thinking of doing either one of the full cleanses for 3 days of the Juice Till Dinner one in September to give my fall a kick start. Just wondering how people felt. I'm also worried the water weight loss and then subsequent gain will affect my confidence.

Hidden health!
I cook dinner for my boyfriend a lot but he refuses to eat anything openly healthy - ie. most veggies, salads, anything whole grain, and he won't eat fish. When we eat pasta it has to be regular white pasta (no whole wheat for him!) - I'm getting tired of choosing between sacrificing my diet or having to make separate…

Trouble keeping calorie target
I'm relatively new to the site (about 2 weeks) - before I joined I ate about 2,000 calories a day and was at the gym 3x a week for hard workouts (on average 800 cal/hr according to my HRM). I have a desk job but I'm out visiting clients at least a few times a week and unless it's raining I walk up to 1 mile to their…

Sushi Help!
Hey! New to the site and thought I would try the community board =) I'm going to sushi tonight with some girlfirends - normally when we go we just share a bunch of rolls but honestly, I have no idea what a "healthy" amount of sushi is to eat. If I was on my own I would get 1 "special" roll, 1 tuna roll, and a small salad…
