Actually, it looks to be right around 13/1400 calories. That's right on target for a lot of us women. Especially us shorties. :smile: Without knowing your stats I'm going to throw a couple of things out there OP. Make sure you are getting enough protien. If I don't start my day with at least 15 grams, it will make for a…

Yeast. This means breads, and anything with "yeast extract". Which is the health halo sub for MSG. If I eat it, I will suffer from heartburn and bloating, and terrible gas. Sometimes cramps throughout the digestive system. This is a newly diagnosed allergy, but explains why every time I would cut out bread and processed…

I've noticed when I'm staying on top of my cardio fitness my excercise induced attacks are either less severe , or less frequent. I'm not sure asthma is something one can "grow out of". I've been waiting 20 years for it to happen, lol. But I think lifestyle choices such as excercise, maintaining a healthy weight, &…

Same. Escpecially if I am really looking forward to the treat.. And to have taste sub par- total waste of calories, lol.

Hello, and welcome to MFP! I'm still not good at consistant excersise, but trying to make it more regular has helped my asthma a lot. I just take my rescue inhaler about 10 minutes before I start anything strenuous. Staying on top of my maintenance inhaler seems to prevent a lot of my attacks as well. Also I finally got to…

That guy was amazing! I hope he makes it far into the competition... Anyone else think he looks like Swedish Jesus though?

I always seem to crave the same crap. How many pictures of cinnamon rolls, pizza, overbuttered popcorn, chips and cheeseburgers are acceptable? :lol:

Well I went to the freezer to check them out and have been successfully foiled by my weird thing about not eating the "last one" of stuff. :lol: So now I'll post my latest recurring craving:

These bad boys are sitting in the freezer at work right now. Courtesy of one of my co-workers. Ice cream is a legitmate lunch... right?? RIGHT???

I went to Busch Gardens (Tampa, FL) last week... And recently discovered I get motion sickness on those as well as rickety fair rides. :L Oh Well . The hubbs kept trying to convince me that actual roller coasters are nothing like carnival rides and that I would probably be fine. I had to time my rides out to one an hour…

The fact that you wake up with these headaches as opposed to them coming on in the middle of the day makes me think of sleep apnea. Headaches upon waking can be a sign of sleep apnea due to the brain being deprived of oxygen during sleep. You also mention " a different type of fatigue". Fatigue is also a key symptom of…

I'd be yelling like Eddie Murphy in Delirous. " TACOOOS! THE TACO MAN IS COMING!!!" And then be sitting on my lawn waving my taco around going " I got a taco, and you dont got one!" Wait- maybe this wouldn't be a good thing for me. :lol:

If I'm feeling fancy and like I can afford the splurge on nice coffee, Boyer's is my favorite. I have not had a flavor or roast I don't like. While I don't prefer black coffee, I use how it tastes black as a guage of a coffee's flavor quality. Boyer's tastes very good black. No bitterness. Just smooth and kind of sweet.…

Ooh that sounds good! LOL

Supposedly, Mayo instead of butter on a grilled cheese is supposed to be better somehow. (Like using it on the outside). I have tried both ways, and still prefer the flavor of butter.

Height: 5'3" CW: 130.5 Goal: 120 June Goal: 125-128 6/3/19: 132.5 (130.5 Average) 6/14/19: 130.2 6/21/19: 131.0 6/28/19: 131.5 Lame. Think I'm actually up a lb. Guess we'll call June a wash and start over with July. I have much less going on in my life over the next couple months so fewer excuses to not excersise. I gotta…

Just got caught up on the whole food vs "non food" food thing. Which brings me to one polarizing question of which we should probably be debating about by now. Cake or Death?

LOVE Nutella. Or chocolate hazelnut anything. I do find it funny how it's marketed as a hazelnut "spread", when it is really more fosting like. But I can put it on most anything- toast, pancakes, french toast, bananas- combined with peanut butter. Mmmmm. Have brussels sprouts been mentioned? LOVE that bitter green flavor,…

Coriander (cilantro) -- I can take it or leave it. Black salted licorice -- Salted? Sounds interesting. LOVE black licorice in genral. Mayo -- Yes please! It is the condiment of choice on all things sandwichy. Miracle Whip is disgusting though. Vegemite -- I've never tried it. Never will- allergic to yeast extract. Okra --…

I'm late to this party- but thought I would share my recent expirience with those cookies. I used to absolutely love them. I loved thier soft- cake like consistancy, and thier mild vanilla flavor. It had been a few years since I had one. And I came accross them at a baby shower one day. They were overly cloying and sweet,…

So I didn't exactly cut back like I should on the calories. 129 made a guest appearance on the scale this week though! So hopefully…

@shaumom Thanks for your insight! This yeast allergy is kind of a pain in the neck! It's in most everything- but randomly. I can never predict what it will or won't be in. Since I refuse to only ever cook at home for the rest of my life I just kind of have to gauge what restaurants make me feel bad, and which don't. I'm…

Well, it's been a few months since my allergy diagnosis, so I thought I should post an update in case there is anyone out there lurking in my shoes. I still struggle to find reputable websites that aren't trying to sell me thier latest "candida iz evilz" scheme. However, I am finding what works for me personally. Some…

The next day I weighed myself, and it was on the upper side of 132. Probably had to do with some chinese food we ate that weekend. It took like 3 days…

I like how you think. Tacos are a healthy and balanced meal. You have carbs, protein, leafy green veggies, fat, and fiber. So yes, tacos do in fact taste better then thin feels. Because science. :lol:

I needed to read these. The bad part about motivation is that it's fleeting. I havent seen mine in a few months! (If you see it running around, will someone PM me? :lol:) But, what I think I need to do is reassess my goals. I crushed it last year, but it's a different year and what I want to gain out of fitness has…

Height: 5'3" CW: 130.5 Goal: 120 June Goal: 125-128 Well It's crunch time if I want to lose a bit more before my summer vacation to Florida. I have exactly 1 month. So I figured I should probably get on here to help hold myself accountable. I have been having a hard time finding the motivation to work out. I have the…

You've got this! Maybe you can get them involved in some way too. Like they would try a work out video with you, or you could "play" and do things like baby lifts and stuff. You could do things that increase your NEAT such as dancing while cleaning too. This way you're not taking too much attention off the little ones and…
