American Diet
Some of you may find this interesting. My girlfriend, who had never lived in the USA before, took a seasonal job for 3 months in California. She weighed 108 lbs when she started and gained a total of 20 lbs in the 3 months if you can believe that. I'm sure that some of it was water weight from huge amounts of sodium,…

People In/Around Spanish Speaking Area/Country
For the people that may live outside the USA or England, is there anyone out there that currently lives or spends a lot of time (traveling or what not) in a Spanish speaking part of the world? I'm only curious if I'm the only one (Peru). If so, where and do you have problems finding local food items in MFP or translating…

Basically, as long as my body was healthy enough to exercise (mostly running), my nutrition was always spot on with regards to my goals. As soon as I hurt myself, it is like my brain goes the opposite way which is why I've added on so much weight the last…

Fruits, Weights, and Nutrition
I'm just curious, but in the Food DB, when it says for instance, Tangerine (mandarine organge), raw is this just the fruit part? The skin can add about 20% to the weight of a small mandarine orange and I'm just curious. Thanks!

Elliptical Machine and Bad Back
I used to be a long distance runner but hurt my back and can't really run because I constantly reinjure it from the hard impact nature of running. I've used elliptical machines in the past but haven't since hurting myself. I was just curious of anyones opinion with regards to elliptical machines and their impact on the…
