We have a local company that makes really smooth almond butter spiked with cinnamon. Truly the crack cocaine of the nut butter world. Next time you are in the Canadian Maritimes, i'll hook you up!

I am a yoga teacher with two little kids - so my personal yoga practice, my yoga for me, happens at my local gym. I have to spread my mat out in between the squat machines, listening to the huge juiceheads grunt and swear. For the first month, I got alot of comments, mostly about how interesting it would be to sleep with…

Last night I had some friends over for dinner. One of them is an MFP'er like me. We lost power (freak snow storm) and couldn't cook, so we ordered pizza. Before dessert, this friend and I haul out our ipods and enter our counts for the meal - we were both horrified. We giggled and mutually agreed to forego dessert. Then I…

I am doing the Zone figures of 40:30:30 and staying within my calorie counts. I'm 20 days in, and for me, the biggest benefit of low carbing it is hunger control. I am a carb binger from way back but lately, I have just moved on. I keep my protein high, include it at every meal, and I don't even miss the carbs. I don't…

I'm another New Brunswick newbie - a yoga teacher in Rothesay. I guess I'm looking for some 'friends' and some local suggestions on fitness, diet, etc.... Add me on! s.

I am a 40 - 30 - 30 kind of person. You can reset your nutrient 'goals' on here, so my pie chart goals are 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fat. That makes it soooo easy to see what I need to add a bit more of, when dinner rolls around. I was a carb heavy vegetarian for years and was overweight and tired. I got over my…

I am 36 and 5'7. My highest non pregnant weight was 172 and I looked hefty. My lowest was 139. 139 looked good but not quite good enough. I think 115 would be quite scrawny on me. I am quite fit (a yoga teacher), so 139 was a comfortable size 8. I wouldn't mind being a 6! I am currently 155 and a size 10 and aiming for 135…

This has been a problem for me for years. I have to treat it as an addiction and try to eat clean all the time. If I have a bit of chocolate, I want alot of chocolate, so now, I can't really eat chocolate. It sucks, but it works. I have a friend who is an alcoholic and I learned alot from watching him battle his drinking.…

A friend and I are both the same height, weight and shoe size. She is a size larger than I am. I think the difference is activity level. I am a yoga teacher, and go to the gym regularly, she is pretty sedentary. So I am 'heavy', quite muscular, for my weight; she is the same weight but it's more fat, so she's physically…

Thank you. I needed that today. Now off to hit the gym - hard! s.
