Could I eat ice cream everyday & still lose weight?
I have had the worst sweet tooth everyday this week. My sugar of choice, ice cream (Mmm...). I've eaten some everyday this week.

Internet or App?
Which do you like better, using MFP by just logging on through the internet/wifi the normal way or by accessing it through an app via an ipod/iphone? One thing I did notice is that if I use the app I can't go to my profile page, I can only go to my home page. I don't really like that, but if I just log on by using going to…

I'm going to Vegas!
This is my first time flying on a plane, my first time going on a vacation, & my first time leaving the state & I'm 26 years old. So, what should I do?

Is there any cardio that is easy on the legs?
Hello I have been working out for the last 2 months about 3x per week for an hour a day.

I want to get down to 190 lbs. with my 1st…

What do you use to motivate yourself besides food?
I remember that the only thing I used to reward myself with was food. If I passed a test, "Yay, let's go out to dinner". If I got some good news, "Yay, let's celebrate by going out for dinner & drinks". Now that I am trying to lose weight, I have realized that I need to stop motivating myself with food. So here are the 2…

I am making catfish nuggets. I wet them w/water & coat them in a mixture that is 30 cals per tbsp, then I fry them in canola oil. How do I figure out how many calories they are. I can't possibly know how much of the oil I am actually consuming, or how much of the fry mix. :indifferent:

FYI for all P90Xers
I just bought a calorie counter/heart rate monitor. I used it while I did the plyometrics video last night and it said I burned 791 calories. And, to be honest, I even had to do the modified moves at times to catch my breath. I don't know if it's because I need to lose so much weight that my body burns that much during…
