Chicken vs Shredded Beef?
Okay... I need help guys. On my exercise days where I have enough calories to treat myself I would like to eat a Chimichanga. I used to order a shredded beef, then I was told that chicken is better... but lately with other meals I've noticed that lean beef is actually less calories than chicken in most cases. So... Chicken…

Bad Day / Good Day?
Okay... are you ready for a roller coaster? Today I leant my boyfriend my car to look for jobs while I worked.. He was going to pick me up... said he'd be there 20 minutes early and he'd have his cell phone. Guess What! He didn't show and wouldn't answer his cell. Bad= the obvious, I had dress shoes on and no outdoor…

My new HRM
I don't know... but I fear my new HRM might be a piece of useless junk. I don't believe in coincidence but Sunday I did 45 minutes of Jillian Michael's ultimatum with a mix of different events most of which was jogging in place and the calories burned on my HRM was 301. Today I did 30 minutes of Free Run on my Wii Fit and…

Holiday foods
Man! I definately have to fight my old habits when it comes to holiday food. One of my favorites is the "Christmas Time Only" mint M&Ms. They get to be so hard to find as it gets closer to Christmas...so I bought a bunch of bags and emptied them into my candy machine (portion control due to knob rotation??) So... when I…

Tummy fat
Help! I've been doing the whole diet/ exercise/MFP since Sept. I've lost some weight but if seems like the weight has come off everywhere except my tummy!?? Why? and what can I do about it (except for crunches... I HATE THOSE). :sad:

Tried my new "toy" today
So, I decided to try my new Timex 30 lap heart rate monitor today while I did a 45 minute workout with my Wii-Fitness Ultimatum game. (Even though I havent yet figured out the heart rate zones and keep it from beeping constantly! :angry: ) The game said I burned 322 calories which I entered into MyFitness Pal. My HRM says…
-
I got one!!!! yea! Part 2
Ugh! Help people who have ANY HRM. This thing is annoying me! It asks me to try different things to find out my Heart rate while doing them so I can set my zones. But I can't get it to do that without guessing first a zone and it keeps beeping first because its too low while I'm sitting and then when its too high while…
-
I got one!!!! yea!
I used the money my parents had given me for my birthday to purchase a Hear Rate Monitor. It is a Timex. Now I just have to read the three volumes of booklets that came with it! lol Does anyone have a Timex HRM? Do you have any info on it? How do you like yours and is it hard to figure out how to work it? Don't you just…

How often / long do you work out
I average about 3 times a week for 30-45 minutes. Is this too little? On every other Wednesday my job requires me to travel around 3 counties and doing my job standing up ...I count that as exercise (compared to the rest of the time where I sit at a desk) how many more calories do you think I burn on those Wednesdays?? (I…

Weight loss at a snail's pace
Wow! something changed! I was losing 2 lbs a week but I've only lost .4 (Yes that is Point 4) pounds since November 6th. I've never had this problem. Usually it is 1 lbs or a flat out plateau in the past.

To count the calories in my fiber supplements or not?
Does anyone take fiber supplements or something similar and if so do you count them in your calories. I take two Fiber Choice tablets 16 calories f and 4 grams of fiber for two tablets. I haven't been counting them. :ohwell:

Chain Gum chewer
Does anyone have the same problem I do?... I try the Extra gum as a snack but I end up chewing one piece after another until the pack is gone... you add up those calories every day and you can see why I had problems losing weight before I stopped buying it.:laugh:

Spoiled
:sad: For the first few weeks of MFP I was losing 2 lbs a week and now it seems like I am losing only .25 lbs a week. Erg! Needed to vent! Thanks:explode: :angry:

Avoid Winter Weight Gain
If you are like me you almost can already taste and smell Thanksgiving dinner: the turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, buttered rolls, and pumpkin pie! and look forward to cuddling on the couch under some blankets with your significant other & / or a favorite pet and a good book. However, these two combined tend to do a…

Scale boycott
I've decided that I am not going to weigh myself for a month and a half and see what happens. I get sooo discouraged when I don't lose what I am expecting to lose. I think this might help. Have any of you tried a scale boycott?

100 calories pack ponderings-I'm bored! lol
So! I was just thinking... it is very hard to get exactly 100 calories of some food. (I did the math to figured out what 100 calories of mint M & Ms were 14 was 98 and 15 was 105 so I decided to round down for my own 100 calorie pack and went with the 98) my question is... these makers of 100 calories packs... what do they…

Fitness Ultimatum-Jillian Michaels
Last night I ordered my copy of Jillian Michael's Fitness Ultimatum 2009!. I have been losing heart on this diet/exercise thing; so I thought maybe something new might help. Has anyone bought it? How do you like it ?

Jillian Michael's Fitness Ultimatum- I got it! yea!
Today I picked up my copy of JM's new game. I am still recovering from my nose dive last week so I selected light/ Weightloss/ for 30 minutes. I burned 260 calories. I did running, boxing, monkey bars, rowing, and log jump and worked up a light sweat. The 30 minutes seemed to go very quickly. I'm excited. I can pick…

Even on a sick day I receive work stress
Posted on 11/10/2008 by amunet07 So, as I mentioned earlier I took two dives on my birthday and had "birthday IVs" instead of cake. I decided to call in sick today because I still felt weak and didn't think I could handle a Monday. My supervisor who was to fill in for me decided to take half the day off "again". He called…

Why do I need outside reinforcement
I've lost almost 15 lbs and no one at my job or my parents have said anything. I know there is a difference at very least in my face. Why is it so important to me to hear people comment and notice? I feel hurt that my effort has gone unnoticed. This makes me think that I'm a shallow person.

My Birthday Part2... NOT Good
I had previously asked you what I should do for my birthday... to throw caution to the wind this once or buckle down... THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. I woke up with a headache and promptIy took some Tylenol and didn't think anything about it, then I went to the Dr. prior to my parents showing up. They arrived and we went to lunch…

My Birthday
:ohwell: Well, tomorrow is my birthday. I keep going back and forth on what my plan is... throw caution to the wind and enjoy the lunch, movie popcorn, dinner my parents have planned or make the effort to eat sensibly. Ugh! I took the day off... but should I get up early and exercise my @$$ off to compensate or enjoy…

Describe a "Fat Day" to someone who never has been fat
I have days where I feel fat! You know the days... You feel bloated and tight and heavy and grumpy, clumsey, irritable, depressed. You feel like you are stuck in a really bad fat suit all over. Even your face has more "gel" feeling. I tried to explain to my 6'3" 165lb boyfriend what fat feels like and what a "fat day" is.…

MY PARENTS ARE COMING
Okay, for those of you who don't know me and my fam... my dad is a Marathon running, bicycling, walking, outdoorsy guy that can't stay still or stay in the house. He of course, can't understand why I don't follow suit but is patient and gently tries to encourage me to. My mom is a beautiful woman who is overweight, had a…
