I eat the entire peanut, shell and all. My sister does too. I also mix apple sauce and sour cream together on potato pancakes.

I lost 50 lbs almost 5 years ago, and did not cut out wine or beer. I did cut back, because logging it in to MFP made me realize I was overdoing it. It's been 5 years, and while I still go up and down in my weight, I haven't gained it all back yet, and have maintained my improved fitness level. I would absolutely not be…

Inspirational! I'm back at it after losing 45 lbs, gaining 20 back, now I want to go down 30 more. Just started, but hearing your story inspires me to get back on it! Congratulations :)

I'm only on Day 3 but I'm already feeling it!! My goal is to log in every day (even if I don't want to admit what I ate) until May 31. I tried "watching" what I ate in January, but didn't lose any weight. I want to try and lose 20 lbs by the summer, so I need to step it up. Trying to figure out what will motivate me when I…

So interesting to hear about everyone's experiences with this issue. Similar and yet so different. I'm about 2 months out of my diagnosis, and having good days and bad. Still many days feeling like I have a weight on my chest and just tired. My leg swelling has completely gone down, but I do get twinges of pain or pressure…

I lost 50 lbs 3 years ago using MFP and regular exercise. Towards the end of last year, I noticed the weight creeping up again. I'm back on the calorie counting and exercise plan, hoping to lose 25 lbs by June to get me to the ultimate goal. But I also wanted to look back and see where I slacked to set me back. After…

I generally guestimate with my salad veggies, and just try to be accurate with the cheese, dressing and fixings. I do like the idea of creating a standard salad recipe. I think I'll do that too.

The only thing the Dr. can figure is it's from my birth control, so I'm off of that now. Blood tests rule out any sort of clotting disorder, and I'm not overweight, on bedrest, or any of the other factors. The dr. said I could return to my normal routine in 2 weeks, but I was just curious what others who have experienced…

I love my wine, so I definitely factor that into my calorie count! According to research, it's actually healthy for you too. Go figure! When I'm at a bbq though, I've gotten used to Miller 64, and actually kind of like it now. Plus the lower alcohol means it's ok to have a few, and not get too tipsy ;).

It took me quite a while to get past this feeling too. I think I did the C25K in about 2 or 3 times the amount of time, just because I was having trouble getting the breathing down. I'm happy to say, it's been over a year now, and I ran my first 8k, and made it through the whole thing. The breathing does eventually get…

I run on a treadmill, but sometimes have knee aches so I tried the ellipticals at my gym. I read an article that said if you are not going forward and backward, and using the incline/resistance settings, you are not using the elliptical to the fullest. I've done the hills and intervals on the elliptical, and I feel it in…

I tried this after seeing other posts about success. I used it the first time for almost 30 days straight, and have been using it off and on a few times a week as a regular workout. I love that the workouts only last around 20 minutes, and you really work up a sweat. I felt so much stronger after doing this workout. The…
