    Daily post - 21st January
    Tracking: yes
    Calories: under
    Exercise: 45 minutes at the gym

    Anyone else have members of their household who are also logging their food intake?
    My husband decided to join MFP 10 days ago so there's literally no junk food in the house to be tempted by now.
    On the downside he's a man-child when it comes to learning new things so needs lots of help while he works it all out. :D;)

    Not household exactly, but my fiancé who lives in another city uses it sometimes. So we do much healthier stuff when we meet up now. Also his workout updates motivated me a bit (I didn't want him to look too good next to me :p).

    @empire5, yes, my daughter and I joined mfp a little over 6 years now. 2 years ago I lost approx 50 lbs. We both eat the same foods that are prepared at home but she eats more junk than I. She has been losing the same few lbs over and over ever since. I have been logging every day, and she does hers whenever she feels like doing. This goes to show that every one is different.

    OK here it goes...mainly because I am really curious about my expectations now vs. what is ACTUALLY going to happen. Mini Challenge: Question of the week: What are your EXPECTATIONS of what weight loss/getting in shape is going to do for you? I've seen people complain that it is harder to shop for clothes or that people treat you nicer/meaner, etc. So I want to know the difference between what I THINK it is going to be like and what happens when I actually make it there.

    Question of the week: I am expecting weight loss to enhance my mobility, flexibility and stamina (so far it HAS done that). I am not expecting to look better naked for sure (my belly button already looks sad). I AM expecting to be able to shop in any store that I want to. I am also expecting the relationship with my mom to deteriorate more. I am hoping against all hope that this is not the case, but she continues to make bad comments about my weight loss, bring in "spite food" (our favorite junk food that we won't eat any of it because if we eat even one we are called fat *kitten*) every time she visits and tell everyone how much weight she has lost. I AM also expecting my body to hold out a little bit longer as I get older. Time will tell if my expectations are reality, so I will keep this to refer back to when I reach my goal.

    Thanks, but I've tried different Mrs. Dash products but don't like them. I had a DUH moment yesterday and remembered that I had a "recipe" for a "season all" type seasoning that simply combines about 15 or more spices together with not a speck of salt and it's wonderful. I don't know how I forgot about that. I've already got the spices; I'll put it together tonight. Woo hoo! :smiley:

    Wow, I'm so sorry that your mom is not supportive of your accomplishments. Hats off to you for being strong and sticking to your convictions. Your MFP family has your back! :smiley:

    Has anyone found a good spice or herb that tastes great on practically everything and could be used instead of salt? That the #1 nutrient I struggle with the most. I don't like artificial/processed foods or spices, so I was hoping to find something wholesome and 'real'.

    I have loads of spices and herbs (without salt and artificial stuff) but if I had to choose one, it would be "pizza herbs" . Its almost like normal Italian herbs but the oregano doesn't take over too much, so you can actually eat it on eggs, most vegetables, in homemade bread (!), sauces, .. (I'm vegetarian but my partner says it's good on meat too..)

    Thanks @spinnerkind :smile:
