Back at it again
two years ago I joined MFP and lost around 30lbs. I absolutely loved it, i felt so good about myself! Then i got a job on the road, working anywhere from 50-70 hours a week and living in a hotel room for a bit and then finally moving into a house. I mostly stopped cooking and ate a lot of processed foods and i quit working…

Protein fluff not FLUFFY
I tried whipping up some protein fluff earlier and it didn't get fluffy. i'm pretty grumpy bout it. Does it matter exactly how much ice you use? because none of the recipes say an amount they just say a "handful" or "some" :huh:

Don't let the scale control you
I've read so many posts lately about how people are frustrated and pissed off because the scale isn't going down or even worse it's going up. We need to step back and remind ourselves that the scale is not the end all be all of weight loss, it is simply one tool that can be used to help us track our progress, but it should…

Personal trainers, why?
Over and over again i read on here about how people will only take the advice of their personal trainer and they follow it like the gospel truth even if it means eating 1200 calories a day, burning 600 and having a net of 600. From a bit of research it seems anyone can become a personal trainer by doing a little studying,…

HRM's, how much do they help?
I know questions about HRM's are always asked but I don't think this one has(not that i've seen at least) and i'm curious. Is there anyone on here who was struggling with weight loss and then bought an HRM and with a more accurate calorie burn, you had an "easier" time at losing weight? I know people swear by HRM's and how…

Wish i hadn't deleted that picture..
About the same time I started my weight loss journey(a month ago) I had won a t-shirt and told the lady to send me a Medium 'cause they usually fit me, well when it arrived I put it on and snapped a pic and was like WOAH i look awful, it was tight and just made me look terrible so i deleted the pic. Well i slipped the…

Walking/Jogging shoes
I'm debating whether or not to buy a decent pair of walking/jogging shoes. The shoes i currently have are about a half a size too small for me and tend to hurt my feet just when i'm walking my dogs...so i'm thinking i need a new pair lol. Anyone care to recommend a pair that are under $100 and not nike? I was thinking…

Mowing calories burned?
It takes me about 3 hours to mow my yard(push mower, fairly large yard with thick grass). MFP says i burned about 1600 calories...does that sound right? yes yes i know HRM is the only way to know for sure but i can't afford one right now so i'm just wondering if 1600 sounds fairly accurate.

My inspiration comes from 2 of my cousins, both of who have lost 70+ pounds in the last year. I only wish i…
