  • I am under by 500+ every day. I'm not hungry yet I'm not starving myself. What do I do to boost my metabolism?
  • I log everything to the point it drives my man crazy. i will not eat until I get my food logged, then I will measure it and then I will finally eat, then when i'm done I measure what is left and subtract them. i'm very picky about it. Only because I have sooo much weight to loose that I want to do this the proper way and…
  • My children are not super excited about me doing this either. They think that veggies are nasty and they don't like fruit. I have found different ways of getting them to eat it. My daughter HATES mushrooms and any kind of pepper be it yellow, green, red, orange.. it does not matter. She is always wanting to help me cook…
  • LeeAnn, I just need to tell you that your story has brought tears to my eyes. I feel the exact same way she feels and the inspiration that you just gave me has brought me to tears. Thank You.
  • the biggest problem i'm having is my husband does not understand why he has to eat healthy just because I am starting to. I've told him that if he wants to eat junk food and all the crap that he does, than that is his choice, but because i'm the one making dinner the kids and I will eat what I make. If he wants something…
  • I doubt I'll be doing any decks... EVER AGAIN..... My legs are soo sore.. my knees started to buckle on me a few times when I was on the elliptical tonight... not good. I realized now that its more important than ever for me to loose this weight.. after what I have done, I should not hurt this bad.. just made me push thru…
  • that damn bear has lied to me too.... I have problems sleeping too.... and after re doing Grandma's deck for the past 3 days, scrubbing, resealing, and then doing the gutters and the lawn and all of her down spouts with 30 sec cleaner i'm still awake at almost 1 am PST.... no idea why.... but such is life.... I have yet to…
  • have you tried eating a *heavier* meal about an hour before you go to sleep? the reason I was asking about the exercising, because I know "like tonight" when I get on the elliptical i can't sleep till about 4am. then i'm back up at 7.. sucks major!!! but it will change when the kids go back to school.. Sept 5.. YAY!!!
  • I"m new to this whole MFP thing and I am more than willing to support anyone who is looking to better their life. I have 4 kids, 11, 7, 5, and 2. and i'm 31. and i'm 5'3 and 198 lbs.
  • When did the problems sleeping start??? what time of day are you doing your exercising?
  • I am ALMOST ALWAYS *WAY* under my calorie intake according to MYF. Part of this is that i'm recovering from an eating disorder, and the other thing is, if you look at my diary its because I refuse to not go to the gym and burn the calories. I choose to work out at night and I don't like to eat a lot after i've done my work…
  • Coffee in this house is not an option either. It is manditory. I drink mine black and have for years. If your looking to cut the calories down a little bit, try only using 1/2 the creamer and slowly cut it back. I you make a huge change you will not be happy and end up going back to where you currently at. the only thing i…
  • My 2, 5 and 7yr olds all love pineapple. There is so much that you can do with it, and I introduced it as spongebob themed dinner one night. and they have loved it ever since. I can put the fresh pineapple in almost anything and they love it for a quick snack as well. egg plant has almost no flavor, so as long as you sub…
  • Like I said, I try to go every day just for stress reduction and this is when I take my "me" time. As long as I go every other day I don't stress about it. If i'm super sore, then i will just cut my work out in 1/2, The way I see it, as long as I'm getting to the gym I'm doing better than I was last month. What i've had to…
  • The Merina I think is what the new one is called and they don't use copper any more as there were a lot of problems with it. The new one also does not have any hormones which is why I went to it. I got Cancer from the pill. I told my doc when I was 21 that she either find me something that did not cause cancer or get me…
  • I understand the concern with the implants, but I would suggest doing some research. I love mine and I have my tubes tied I only got it because my periods were super heavy and I went for 7 days with cramps so intesnse that I was on vicodin and perocet. I got my IUD and I no longer have a period at all and no cramps and no…

  • ive found that I looooove frozen grapes and they are a quick healthy snack.
  • ive found that the more blades my razor has the better the shave and I shave everything except my arms. I prefer a man's razor they give a closer shave and it seems I can go longer before i have to shave again.
  • The other thing you can do is take measuments and there is a spot on this site where you can track them... inches mean sooo much more than pounds.

  • I have always struggled with eating, and now that i'm over 30 i have ballooned like crazy, and I'm trying to do something about my weight.. i'm concerned that I may be doing more harm than good. I look at the calories i have left for the day and start to freak out and start eating all kinds of junk food just to fill the…
  • you may also want to check with your gyno and see if the IUD is a good idea for you. I used to have super heavy period and bleed for 7 days at a time with super intense cramps that they put me on narcotics for. Since I have gotten my IUD I don't ever have period and I don't cramp at all and I also had a tubal done 6 years…
