I have super sensitive skin and have stayed away from sunblock because of rashes. You should try looking for Titanium oxide or zinc oxide for main ingredient. These are physical blockers versus the others are chemical blockers. A reaction occurs on your skin to block out the UV rays. It is more likely to cause reactions…

I need my space when I sleep. I'm also a kicker and blanket hogger. Luckily my husband works night shift and we have opposite sleeping schedules most days in a week. It makes our marriage work.

My husband drinks his protein shakes immediately post workout, especially lifting. He will occasionally drink one during the day if he hasn't eaten enough protein through his meals. Personally to me, eating my protein tastes more delicious than drinking it :)

Have you looked at the MFP blog, they actually have really good recipes. I also agree that soups is definitely a good lunch meal, although I always crave for some carbs, so I try to find whole wheat rolls. I found a chicken avocado salad recipe that I've been eating and loving for lunch. I usually eat with whole wheat…

OMG i have this problem. I was writing a recipe that used greek yogurt. I KNOW the 365 brand greek yogurt exists in the database but disappears when I try to add the ingredient to a recipe. It is really annoying. I end up choosing another entry that has similar nutrients.

I find that a small glass (6oz) of V8 everyday in the morning will make me regular. I don't like the taste, so I usually gulp it down quickly and follow with water. Look for the low sodium one! It takes a few days to get your body used to the "schedule" but it works for me!

Natalee, Welcome back! I will agree that it's definitely hard to stick to a lifestyle change when you don't have any support. I had started myfitness pal in 2011 (and attempted other weight loss plans prior to that) and never succeeded more than 6 weeks. I had started up again when my husband signed up for myfitness pal…

I usually only use Greek yogurt for breakfast at home or as a mayo substitute therefore I only buy plain nonfat. I really enjoy Whole Foods 365 brand or Greek Gods (Honey or plain). If I get the plain I will add some honey to it and eat for breakfast. It is really filling with some fruit on the side. I used to eat chobani…

I have a similar opinion. My husband works night shift, so he generally has opposite meal schedule than me and he is losing plenty of weight because he is watching his diet and exercise. I cannot eat after 8pm. If I do, then I become lazy and won't do my workout for the night.

I work out 5 days a week for 30 mins. The other 2 days I usually play volleyball for 3 hours a day. I just finished a 4 week exercise program and took a few days break. But now I'm ready to get back into it. I used to never be an exercise person but it's starting to grow on me.

Tofu Jorim 1 package of firm tofu beaten egg to coat flour to coat Sauce 3 tbsp sodium - use low sodium! chopped green onions 1 tbsp sesame oil sriracha water to thin it out a bit This is a Korean side dish, but I love to eat it as my main protein. Cut the tofu into 2 inch x 2inch x 0.5in pieces. Depending on your block of…

Two weeks ago I had to go to a training event for a full week. This required me to commute 1.5 hours each way. I would typically get home after 7pm, almost 2 hours later than my usual time. I had just started my healthy eating, and while it would have been really easy to pick up food on the way home I made sure I was…

There's a process called "Six Sigma" that a lot of manufacturing companies use for process improvements. Your end goal is to reach your "ideal state". You define your "current state" and "target condition" with the understanding that it may NOT by your ideal state. Then you go through the process of implementing changes…

Before my husband met me, he would only eat 1 meal a day. He is a nurse working 12+ hours a day. When he is working, he only works and sleeps, and only eats 1 large meal during his shift. When he wasn't working, he would continue to stick to this schedule. He did that for many years at his lowest weight until he met me…

Breakfast - Egg (or Egg White) scramble with broccoli or mushroom or spinach. Serve with flatbread (i've been eating Flatout Flatbread) or whole wheat bread and some sriracha. - Plain greek yogurt + Honey with a piece of fruit Lunch - Chicken Avocado Salad (chicken breast, avocado, greek yogurt, onion, cilantro) on…

We are having a Cinco de MAyo potluck, so interested in seeing more healthy recipes!

Chicken Avocado Salad 2 boiled chicken breasts (~2lbs) 1 diced avocado 3/4 cup greek plan yogurt 1 medium diced onion cilantro salt and pepper to taste Chop the chicken to bite sized pieces. Mix everything together. I tried to find the original recipe but the link isn't working. This recipe makes about 8 servings for us,…

I agree that you're probably not eating enough calories. If you are interested in a recipe, I made chicken avocado salad (boiled chicken, greek yogurt, avocado, onion, cilantro, salt and pepper) and eat on wheat bread. There's a lot of protein in the salad and with a little carb it keeps me really full. You can eat with a…

I don't understand why people would steal lunches. I don't know how it prepared and if it was prepared in a hygienic fashion. It's just gross to me. Maybe I could understand packaged foods, but then that's just rude! This is why I keep my lunch in an insulated bag with an ice pack at my desk.

I had it posted once with a previous relationship and the peanut gallery had their fun with it. So I didn't update my relationship status through the 3.5 years of dating/engagement with my husband. I only changed it recently to married. But I haven't even changed my name!

Since we eat dinner really early on Thanksgiving, I'll only eat a late breakfast for the day. Then I am planning to splurge and go back to my normal eating habits.

I've been using Fitness Blender videos. They are free and there's a section on Low Impact workouts. The difficulty level is pretty low though, I think they're meant for people who are just starting to workout.

Is your office building large? I walk in circles around all the hallways in the winter when it's too cold to go outside for a walk. I also try to stand/pace for all of my teleconferences that don't require me to look at my computer.

I tried out the chia seeds this morning, mostly to get more fiber into my diet. I'm not sure if I ate too much (1 tablespoon) but it's making my belly feel weird. Is this the "full" feeling? Doesn't certainly feel like a normal "full" feeling. And it gets stuck in my teeth too! even if I mix it with water.

You can easily find the program online for free. There's also an app that will allow you to sync music, I think that might be 99cents though. Here is the basic program: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml I myself got to week 5 but then traveling for work derailed me. I've been wanting to get back into it.
