This! I haven't eaten meat in 25 years and struggled with anaemia in my teens and recently when pregnant. Green veggies and oats and raisins are awesome and so easy to get in your diet (granola, trail mix, salads, etc.). For B vitamins I used to get Brewers yeast pills fro. a health food store- they smell a bit funky (like…

I'm going to try this with barley instead of the quinoa, as I have a ton of barley on hand from when I was nursing! ;-) Sounds delicious, I'll let you know how it turns out with the switch-out!

I need to do this!

I'm attempting to get some things set up in my home office so that I can sneak in bursts of strength training into my day. Hard to stay motivated but sitting at a desk, constant access to the "snack cupboard" and no reason to leave the house are not doing me any good. So, here are my tools of torture so far: Ab ball…

Wall's Vienetta - don't even know if they still make them but I used to LOVE when my Mum would buy one for Sunday lunch when I was younger. Mmm.... Oh and loved the pic of the frozen desert:laugh:

I just sprayed my coffee! :) TY!

Hula Hoop! :) Get that jiggle trimmed down in no time! I'm actually serious. Pilates will help too - yes, the 6-pack abs don't really show if there's flab on top but if you're doing things that target that area, it will definitely help. Lengthening your torso with pilates and yoga will definitely make a difference to…

This is a toughie. If you're just visiting and they offer up goodies to be nice, it's fine to just say "oh those look delicious but I'm really stuffed (so make sure you did eat before you go to visit them!)...I might try to fit one in later though"....and then move on. If you're going to visit for the sole purpose of…

I have one in my office. I try to sit on it for about an hour each day (although I sometimes forget!). It actually really helps improve posture, makes me so much more conscious of how I'm sitting and is just the right height (my old desk was an inch higher and it made a big difference - not very comfortable for typing and…

Just finishing my second pint at 1130am. Thanks for the reminder!

I knew it was too good to be true! Free! Pah!:bigsmile:

I would definitely recommend Pilates - especially if you are hitting the gym a few days a week. It will strengthen, tone and condition your muscles - plus provide some relaxation and calming (which we all need!). It really helps to improve your posture and lengthen you, so you automatically LOOK slimmer too :) As for the…

Hi - I'm 37 with a 2 year old son. Trying to lose weight and get fit to be the healthiest I've ever been. Got another 10lbs to go to meet my original goal but I suspect when I get there I will continue for another 5lbs or so. MFP has really helped boost me off a summer-long plateau...motivating me to work out since that is…

It's really important to be healthy while you're pregnant and it will make it easier to want to get BACK there afterwards. I was losing weight when I got pregnant with my son (now 2.5yrs), so then stopped dieting. I gained 28lbs while I was pregnant and I have now lost 38lbs since I had him - it's been slow and hard to…

Don't let it get you down. The scale isn't as accurate as you think and your body fluctuates constantly. If you keep weighing in at a specific day and time consistently you will eventually see your number go down and down and down. I have been feeling the same way lately, haven't seen a real loss in 3 months :( I just read…

It wouldn't be tacky at all!! In fact, if others see the delicious meal you have in front of you they might rethink their "easy" pizza choice and find a better option next time :) You have to do what is best for you!
