If I had a pup, I would call her wolverine.

I just started reading the book today. Please add me to your group!

My favorite place to eat in Dayton is Coco's Bistro. I also like the Butter Cafe and Tank's for breakfast. There is a great breakfast place in Yellow Springs called The Sunrise Cafe. In Tipp City, I like the Coldwater Cafe. None of these places are considered healthy, but they're not bad. I guess it depends what you order.

I lost 20 lbs without exercising. Reason why I stopped: FDA pulled it off the shelves.... just like everything else that works, they find a way to take it away...

Congratulations on your success! No, I wasn't there, but I do enjoy all the energy that surrounds 5K runs. My last 5K was in December of last year, and then I sort of gave up on running. Now I'm training for another 5K in July. Even though I just started training, it's amazing how good it makes you feel!

The only thing that's ever truly worked for me in the past was a product called Synergy, which was a mix of various herbals including MaHuang Extract (Ephedra).

I think the best option for bread is ezekiel low-sodium. It's a flourless bread and it's really good, especially toasted. All the Ezekiel products are wonderful, in my opinion. They also make a good cereal. Another good cereal is Kashi Go Lean Crunch Flax/Honey. Take one cup of the cereal, one cup fat-free plain yogurt,…

Hello. I'm Stacey. I just married the love of my life last year, and now I'm 15-20 lbs heavier. I don't really know how it happened. Weight is so sneaky. I want to lose weight, not only to look and feel better, but also to gain more self confidence. I think having a support system like this will really help. I'm 37 years…

Ok. I added my info. I'm happy to be a part of this challenge!

That's when you point to your stomach and say "Where? How would a baby even fit in here *****?" Seriously, I think maybe she was jealous and trying on purpose to make you feel bad. Don't let her stupidity derail all your success.

I think lunch meat really isn't clean because it is so high in sodium.

Feel free to view mine too.

Thanks for the suggestions. I work a desk job, so I don't really have time to get up and walk.

The MFP calculator is always telling me I'm going over my protein amounts everyday... How much protein should I be eating?

Based on the MFP calculator. I am 5'4 and weigh 136 lbs. I would like to weigh 115 lbs.

I used to wear a 2. Now my size 6 pants are very tight. I'm so upset...and I wonder HOW did I get like this? If anyone would like to help me, I would appreciate the support. Thanks.

How do you make your diary public? Thank you everyone for all the advice...Keep the suggestions coming!

I love pizza too, and I think it is healthier if you make it at home. Here is one of my favorites: 1 whole wheat naan, 1-2 Tbsp pesto, and top it with tomato slices and fresh mozzarella. Bake at 425 until cheese is melted. A package of Naan has two "crusts" which limits portion size.

I would love to join you.

I would like to join the challenge. Name/ real name: breathless575/ Stacey 5/01: 134.5 5/07: 5/14: 5/21: 5/28:

That sounds really good! I do something similar, also in the crockpot. 4-5 chicken breasts, 1 container salsa, 1 can drained black beans. Served over rice with avocado.

Larabars!

Yes, there is salt everywhere. Salt, along with sugar, is hidden in so many foods we find on the grocery shelves. It seems the only way to avoid the excess ingredients we don't need is to learn how to cook our food from scratch. I'm learning how, but it takes time, and that is my struggle...trying to find the time to eat…

Hi Anita, Today is my first day on MFP. Regarding trying to lose the same 19 lbs, well I can definitely relate.... 5'5" 135-140 lbs goal 115 lbs 37 years old Since my wedding last year, I have been slowly packing on the pounds. Now, my fat clothes are snug. I'm getting ready for a trip to Florida next week, and I'm not…
