The Fiber35 Diet
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…

Work out equipment!
So I just got an elliptical yesterday from Kmart, it was only 150 dollars and its really nice. 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.

Whole Grains
Think about how many servings of whole grains you ate today. If you're like most Americans, you had just one, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). After nearly a decade of sounding the call to eat more fruits and vegetables, the government is now making a push to boost whole-grain consumption to…

Bad Dream last night
Hi MFP's, Anyone have bad dreams while cutting calories? I had a pretty bad one last night. It may just be "in the air" as they say because my husband had one too and he is not dieting right now. I usually have vivid dreams around the full moon. Anyone else? Oh well, I hate waking up crying over nothing. TTYL, Connie Lynn

Up and Down Day
Well, although today is only my second day with MFP, it's been a really good and bad day for me. I started yesterday, and reading the blogs and meeting new people has been GREAT!!! Tracking my own progress is something I really needed to get me going!! I started off my first day so right, and maybe a little TOO right.…

Burn off more calories during excercise when we are overwei
I am wondering if I am burning off more calories than the charts say due to my overweight. Does anyone know? Do you know if the calculator on this site is adjusted for our relative weights. For example, when I swim vigorously for 30 minutes, do I burn up more calories then a gal who weight 120? Anyone know? I would sure…

Today I tried on shorts from last summer...
Well last summer I had lost about 20 pounds from my heaviest point and I had this pair of shorts from Old navy that were size 10 and too tight to wear. I could get them on, but it was not a pretty sight. So this morning instead of weighing I pulled them out and tried them on...they FELL off, literally. I was dancing around…

Thanks!
Thanks for the advice on what to do while out of town at a conference! I enjoyed food, even had my hotel's free drinks (luckily small and w/ little alcohol), worked out once while I was there and came home w/ maybe a 1lb gained. Which, I've already lost. I've reached the 10 lb loss mark!!! So happy and this has been super…

Earthquake anyone???
Did anyone else feel the after shocks of the Wells Nevada earthquake. I was laying on the couch this morning, everyone was still asleep. Next I know my house felt like it was rolling. I have numorous cracks in my walls and foundation. Pretty freaky. We live about 110 miles away from wells Nevada and they say that it was a…
