Yes. This irritates me as well. The first entry for homemade italian bread is in grams. I had to scroll down until I found one that was by the slice. But, people are right when they say you can always enter the measurements yourself by creating a new entry. I usually find another option that has an easier measurement, but…

My friend has a similar problem. She loves eating veggies and healthy food, but her husband would rather eat McDonalds. Most nights, she prepares something a little different for him. I'd say, start cooking for yourself and have him try what you're making. Sooner or later, there's going to be something that he likes. Also,…

Sounds like she was just a not-so-nice person. I worked as a lifeguard at a Y and our general rule was that if all lanes were occupied you could wait until someone gets out, or you could enter one of the occupied lanes. Each swimmer takes one side of the lane and sticks to it. If it was extra busy and a 3rd person decided…

I've come to terms with the fact that I'll never be a runner, so I've given up on it. But my mother, the fittest woman I know, jogs. She has had some issues with her knees because of it (she's also 63 for heaven's sake), but at the suggestion of my uncle, who is an OT and personal trainer, she started doing some knee…

These sound awesome. Thanks for sharing!

I really try not to be nasty when I reply to posts, but this just irritated me. It sound like you don't do much housework. Go scrub your bathroom and tell me you don't break a sweat. Or, try pushing a vacuum once and a while. Who are you to judge what other people do? For some people, even getting up to do housework is a…

Awesome! You look fantastic! Congrats on all of the hard work!

I have friends that do both. Some combine and some keep them separate. In all cases one makes double than the other. My husband and I have a joint account and make the same amount of money so I can't really relate in this case. But, in my opinion the real issue is not joint or separate finances but the attitude of "I pay…

Yummy! Thanks for sharing!

I've gotten my fair share of "concerned" emails from family members when I came out of the religion closet as agnostic. I live in the south now, so it's always an interesting conversation when it comes up somehow. It was a lot less of a conversation piece when I lived up north.

Congrats! You look beautiful! Keep up the great work and thank you for the inspiration!

Call me spoiled, but I didn't eat soup out of a can until I hit college. My mother would make a huge pot of chicken soup on Sundays, keep some for the week and freeze the rest. Now that I live on my own I do the same thing. I will make a pot of chicken soup and then a pot of chicken broth to use for other kinds. The trick…

Wow. Congrats to you and your incredibly successful journey. Thanks for the inspiration.

Congrats, gorgeous! Your photos are inspiring!

My husband was listening to someone on NPR that was talking about the issues with olive oil. The other thing was that just because it said it was made in Italy, doesn't mean it was. It could have been made somewhere else and repackaged there. This probably isn't an issue with most people, but my mother is from Florence so…

I just started, but I plan on updating it every Saturday morning. I also check in with measurements too since those are more accurate than a scale. But, since I just inputted my measurements last week I'm unsure of how MFP tracks it. I have been getting on the scale more than once a week and I really need to stop because…

Happy MFP anniversary!! You look fantastic!! Congrats on all of your heard work!!

Awesome!! You look great! Congrats!

Congrats! You look beautiful!

Veggies are fairly new to my diet as well. My husband and I started eating seasonally, which means we primarily buy seasonal produce from local farms. It's forced us to be creative. Some suggestions (I don't have calorie counts on these because I haven't made them since joining MFP last week): Stuffed peppers: Cut peppers…

It sounds like you need a new doctor. I disturbs me that he can't see the benefit of you walking to work after not doing any exercise at all. He should be encouraging you to walk to work and then encourage you to do more if you can. I've also read that you don't need to do your 30 minutes of exercise in one shot to see the…

LOL Yeah, I think we are over thinking this a bit.

I drink 1 to 2 cups off herbal green tea with a little honey every day. Because of the honey, I just started a new food category. Drinks (Not water). That's where I'll put wine, sweet tea, soda, coffee or any other liquid that I consume that's not water. And then on top of that I still try to drink at least 4 cups of water…

First, you should be really proud of yourself for that weight loss. That is fantastic! Secondly, I understand where you are coming from. I'm also 29 and I'd like to start having children next year. I want to start off my pregnancy healthy so I can be the best for my baby. It's one of the driving forces I have to lose…

What a fantastic post!! Thank you so much for sharing it and congrats on your big weight loss!

Wow!!! You look awesome!! Congrats!

You look fantastic!! Congrats!
