'Saved Meals'
Does any one else have trouble moving a remembered meal into the daily food diary? I have been saving some of my frequently eaten meals, and have no trouble pulling them up in saved meals, but then don't see a way to transport them into my diary...?

Wisdom teeth.... eek!
My wisdom teeth are coming in... and they hurt. My mom made an appointment in 2 weeks to get them cut out... anyone have any ideas on how I can eat during that time? I'm going to be loopy and in mouth pain so I will definitely want to live off of milkshakes... that CAN'T happen, haha. I like soup... but not for every…

Flour
Has anyone tried the Brown Rice Flour or Coconut Flour? I am trying to find some different alternatives that are gluten free to cook with. I have to stay away from barley and corn. I am not fond of flax seed. I have used oat flour before and that is good. Sourgum is not my favorite either. I saw those today and wondered…

Calorie Shifting
I've been hearing about this new diet metheod called "calorie shifting" , where you do 1200 calories one day and then 1400 calories the next to confuse the body. Can anyone give me some more information on it and if you have done it what did you think of it. Once I get all the info on it I'm glad to be the "guinea pig" for…

You know what I did......
This morning I cooked breakfast and made some tea for my mom and me and I sat down and.. I ate slow and savored every bite. You know what... I think this is the first time I tasted food and allowed for the flavors to disperse themselves through my mouth. It felt good. I have not eaten chocolate since Dec. and I had some…

I'm back!
Hi everyone: Had a wonderful trip to Goma, Congo. Loved it even though it was heartbreaking sometimes, lava dust, crowds of people, orphans, widows, refugee camps and all. We supplied big bags of rice and other essentials for two orphanages to last them awhile, and continued building on the new site, plus managed to…

Has anyone read, "The Fiber35 Diet" book? Thoughts? I'm not looking for a get-thin-quick type of deal but I do need to increase my fiber while watching my overall calories. Thanks :flowerforyou:

Wow!!
I didn't realize this before because there are only like 5 categories in my food diary, but I eat like 7 or 8 times a day!! Sometimes I double or triple up on my snacks sections. I usually space my snacks out so that I can always have food to eat.:laugh: So I have been telling myself that I am eating 5 time a day (which is…

What have you learned this week?
I thought that it might be helpful and keep us inspired if we were to write out a few things that we learned from our new lifestyle change. I am so siked about this that I just gushed to my herb lady, wait til I get to the chiropractor, lol. I learned that 8 cups of coffee a day are not my friend. I was probably drinking…

One more GREAT thing about MFP....
And the groups of people on it... Posting so much and reading others posts keeps me from eating...not from working out because I do that first thing in the AM...:happy: dd

You can still eat a lot of food
I am absolutely floored by the amount of food that I'm eating and still staying within my calorie goals. My medical team put me at 1400 - 1450 cal a day based on my inactivity...here it is 330pm, and I haven't even taken in 1000 cals yet. I've had 2 full meals, 2 snacks, 4-8oz of water....1 cup of coffee...I'm shocked. I…

And I got that little treadmill from the salvation army, and my workout ball and weights, so im all set to go!! I wish I had people to work out in my little gym with me :cry: but noone wants to. Oh well, I will just look better…

A female... observation
I've been so good: exercising with a bum ankle... eating properly... I average a pound a week and I'm ok with it. And then it happened: The whole "I'm-not-pregnant" thing accompanied by the usual suspects: bloating, pissiness, lack of motivation and all I want to do is EAT... I don't care what, just eat! I'd be so happy…

Good afternoon all
Hi! I love this site, I have been doing great for 3 days now, doesn't sound like much but for me that is GREAT. I just made my grandson Zan some cream of wheat and I wanted to eat the whole pot. BUT i DIDN'T TOUCH A DROP. Sorry didn't mean to yell. I made myself a c;up of tea instead. I sure hope i can keep this up!! Love…

Check it out!! hehe
Ok, off topic but I just took my 15 month old son outside for a few minutes in his first snowpants/winter coat (first time to reallyuse the snowpants this season!!)....I added 3 pics to my profile. Something about a kid experiencing snow for the first time....makes everything seem better.

Never choke in the South!
Two hillbillies walk into a restaurant. While having a bite to eat, they talk about their moonshine operation. Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough. And, after a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. One of the hillbillies looks at her and says, 'Kin ya…

Whining about the snow....again
This sucks, now I have to shovel again, and that means my back will be killing me for another 3 days. Worst part is, I have to work tomorrow as it is our Quarterly server maintenance day! When it rains (err...snows) it pours! At least it's a calorie burner.

my first burger!!
Okay, I know you are all probably cringing while you are reading this but I just couldn't help it. I has been over 2 months since I have had anything really bad for me. And the last 10-14 days with that migraine I really couldn't eat. Today was the first day I haven't had the slightest trace of a headache so I just said…

I can't believe how well I'm doing
I really didn't think that I was going to survive yesterday....And I didn't think that it was going to be this exciting as well as accomplishable (is that a word?). Yesterday, I had a lot of stressors being thrown at me. It seemed heightened. I wasn't able to run to my comfort foods. I took every single advice I got from…

YAY!
I've been away from my normal environment, my fiance and my scales for a week, and I thought I'd find it really tough to keep up the calorie counting and exercise - but I've done so well I'm really proud of myself. I've been feeling more energetic, less inclined to eat unhealthy foods and actually wanting to do exercise!!…

Does anyone else feel this way sometimes?
I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. I went to wake up my son to get ready for school and found him with a temp of 104.4. I gave him some medicine and sent him back to bed. I went back into my room and was going to lay back down after I took me vitamin and water pill. I only put 8oz of water in a cup say per the…

Emotional eating
Does anyone else emotional eat? I do. Or did. This is the 2nd day of my new eating patterns. I'm having a hard emotional day today. I just hung the phone up with my husband. We were talking. I feel so nervous today. Like on the inside...all bound up...It's very odd. I feel like I need to call my doctor. I'm so unsure…

I lost 5 pounds in one day!
I was sick for one day and lost 5 pounds? !:noway: I know it is all going to come back and probably more. Is there any way to keep those five pounds from sneaking back? I would like to see the numbers go down, not up again.
