I'm back at using MFP after trying to use the WW app. Love MFP!! Feel free to add me, as well!

Totally check out a Zumba instructor (or two, or three!) in your area. a lot of them offer drop-in passes or multiple classes upon sign up at a discounted rate. Other than that, the drop-in rates are usually around $8-12 depending on the coach. also check to see if they offer a first class free. If a few of them do, check…

I appreciate all of the information! @Branstin, I will tell her to ask her Endo for a referral to a good dietician that specializes. :) Thank you everyone!

She has already checked with her Medical Dr, and Endocrinologist.

I drink infused water. If you're not ingesting the fruit or veggies, don't count them, it's very diluted anyways. I usually throw few frozen blueberries into mine in the morning on the way to work. It's a yummy pick-me-up before my tea! Try not to add too much lemon or lime to your water. It may be good to drink, but it…

I'm 33 (34 on the 22nd!), live in Winnipeg, MB. Feel free to add me!

If you're doing a potluck - make Matcha Lemon Cupcakes. Use a white cake mix, make as directed on box, add 2 tbsp matcha and 1 tbsp grated lemon peel. And add a tsp or two to the frosting as well. Delicious! I've also poached fish in matcha, and it's really good mixes with spices as a rub for your meats, too! Mix with…

My resolution is to try something completely new and out of my comfort zone at least once a month! Got some stuff lined up already!

We've all had many different A-Ha moments, but there is always one where really kicks your *kitten*. My Real A-Ha moment was when I went for my routine physical in December and found my blood pressure was in the high range. It has never been in the high range. I left the office crying and a prescription for blood pressure…

I haven't told anyone, except a close friend who works out and trains for specific events. She's been really good for support aside from MFP. My Husband noticed I've been changing my eating habits, and I told him that I was becoming more conscious of what I put in my body. He's totally on board with eating better, which is…

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. And it's -22 C, but actually feels like -28 C with the windchill.

All these suggestions are wonderful. Let me hone in on my dilemma a little more: I work front desk and am not allowed to have "meals" at the desk. I also meal prep, so I always have my lunches planned out. I'm glad you all have been great with giving suggestions on ideas! :)

OMG! I love some of these answers! I'm laughing so hard at my desk! people think I'm nuts! At least I'm burning calories too!

Half an avocado, garlic powder, half a can of No Salt Added chickpeas, squeeze of lime, salt & pepper to taste. Sooo good! I've had this on bread and over lettuce and veggies. Super quick to mash up at work.

Mmmmm....bread! I love the stuff! Ezekiel is my favorite too. When I get crazy and decide to bake a loaf, I love making Whole Wheat and Honey, or Red River Cereal breads. I prefer baking more because then I know what my ingredients are, and I can control what is added or eliminated.

Feel free to add me! I am looking to lose 50-70 lbs overall, but my first goal is 15 lbs. Chocolate and baking are my kryptonite...

You are more than welcome to add me too! :)

Just for today (Jan 2/15), I will: 1. Get in my 40 mins of walking throughout the day. 2. Drink 100-120 oz of water. 3. Log everything that I Eat/Drink/Exercise. 4. Stay Positive throughout the day, including dealing with time crunches at work!

Winnipeg! :)
