I have been mixing my Ranch powder with plain greek yogurt but recently have tried to find a recipe for homemade mix so I can cut out the preservatives, non-clumping agents, salt, and msg. I haven't found one that I love yet, but I know it's out there. In the mean time I have tried a couple that make me feel better about…

After my first my body snapped right back and I lost all the baby weight and more breastfeeding. Baby number two? Not so much. Stomach is still soft and flabby and this time around I gained weight breastfeeding because of how hungry I was all of the time. It's been hard getting back on track since I now chase two kids and…

This is a really great podcast!

If I'm not getting fit to enjoy life more, then what is all this work for? I haven't cut out beer or wine. I love a good porter or stout. I fit them in just like everything else. I like the 80/20 guideline. They are for sure in my 20.

My son calls them his 'Minecraft' cereal.

I can always use more friends. I'm not one to talk to people face to face with my weight so I need all the support I can get from my fellow MFP users.

I usually don't talk about my weight with friends. I'm average weight so any time I talk about working out or I pass on dessert, a certain close friend of mine always has something negative to say. She's more into loving your body at the weight you are. Which is wonderful and I 100% agree, but I also want to be healthy.…

Why are you going to the gym? You don't need to lose weight! It irritates me so much! I go to the gym to be strong and stay healthy. I lose weight because I remember how hard it was to lose 30 lbs and prefer to lose the extra 5 I put on before it turns into an extra 30 lbs.

I'm using one from zenlabs. I think it is doubling when I look at my calorie burn. Looks like I need to unconnect them and just update my timeline if I want to share my run.

I seem to irritate people when they ask if I'm on a diet and I tell them that by definition 'diet' is whatever you eat. I also don't 'diet', I eat to fuel my body. I hate when I turn down sweets (like a large slice of cake) and someone has to pipe up with 'oh, are you on a diet?' No, I just prefer to eat clean as possible…

I also am trying to lose about 10 more lbs. I am a mom of two and let a bit of the weight stick around after the last baby and the holidays. I'm usually busy at nights running after kids so my workouts are restricted to my lunch hour when I don't have other errands to take care of. I am mainly focusing on my diet and…

Just thinking about this with my C25K app. I think it's double dipping in MFP. Does any one know if it doubles up on the fitbit? The running app talks to fitbit and the activity is logged when I wear my fitbit. Does Fitbit double the activity or knows that the running app is telling it something it already knows?

I'm also starting back up with MFP. Adding you as a friend. I could also use some motivation.

Don't give up!
