This sounds like a blast! I can't wait for it to start :)

Check out lighter.world for recipes. They let you put in what ingredients you want to avoid, what equipment you have in your kitchen and how much time you want to devote to meal prep. The more foods you want to avoid obviously limits your recipe results but it is great for getting started.

I have PCOS and have trouble losing weight / gain easily. Basically if I look at sugar I gain weight but I have found that if I focus on limiting sugar (not carbs necessarily, but true processed sugar) and balancing my carb intake with fat and protein (basically making sure every meal is on the lower end of a glycemic…

There is a lot of research that shows vegan and vegetarian diets or even WFPB with limited meat intake can help with inflammation and other issues (cholesterol, diabetes etc) . Many obese people have other health issues in addition to and/or because of the obesity, however by implementing diets that help relieve these…

This is the most helpful thing I have found since my diagnosis. I want to add it to this thread for others, I bought it on a whim at a used book store and have highlighted and underlined and flagged pages to the point where it is absolutely tattered but I always end up going back to it.…

Even the AdvoCare literature they have on their website says you should see some results without using their products just by following their recommended food plan. My husband did the challenge, had great results, loved it and is continuing to use their products religiously I did the challenge a couple of years ago, had ok…

My husband completed the challenge fairly recently and it worked for him, he needed the structure, he lost 20 pounds, and 6 inches on his waist. He has a job with strict weight requirements and while he is good at staying physically "in shape" he has a tendency to eat too much so he can still run/do pushups etc but also…

Oh I should add mine was caused by an injury then made worse by wearing shoes without support etc.

I use these http://www.walmart.com/ip/As-Seen-on-TV-Strutz-Cushioned-Arch-Supports/20970382 when I am barefoot/in just socks (which is pretty much always at home), they have helped a lot. I also quit wearing shoes that don't offer support (ie ballet flats) and had to up the price tag on my heels for work a bit to make sure…

Try your relatively new routine but take any weights down to the minumum or half the reps/speed/time etc. then add back until you find where you are comfortable. According to my OB there is no reason not to workout when pregnant unless you are experiencing complications, even starting a new workout is ok as long as your…

You're ahead of me, I can't even figure out how to link MFP to the health ap to begin with.

Cooked eggs are safe for 72 hours in the refrigerator according to most conserative estimates, I usually make a dozen and freeze what we won't eat in 2-3 days

This says it all, I love the taste and texture of quinoa but since learning about the ethical implications of eating it I haven't bought it once.

I know I'm late to the convo but my husband is stationed at NOB. I work during the day but would love someone to meet up with either early in the mornings or in the evenings after work. I've gone to Q-80 (the base gym near the piers) in the past and never had a problem in the mornings and I have a planet fitness membership…

I"m a fan of their spark, I'm doing the 24DC now but only because I can't seem to get myself out of a funk and thought it would be a good plan to mix things up some. I have no intention of sticking with the products and am sure there is a cheaper version of SPARK on the market that works just as well but I'm lazy and a…

I finished a couple of the 4-week ones but would loose 4% then gain back 2, then loose 4% then gain back 3 etc. I just started the new 10% challenge that is spread over 6 months, I anticipate less of a rebound effect since it is ongoing and has a maintaince period for the last month. Money is a bigger motivator than pounds…

I made turkey soup Saturday (could easily be chicken instead) in the slow cooker: 4 cups leftover turkey from thanksgiving (frozen but cooked) (can use raw turkey or chicken, dice into squres and let cook in soup or cook before adding I have done it both ways depending on how much time I have) 2 cups shredded zucchini 1…

There are pros and cons to all vaccinations, personally I am of the opinion that the only way herd immunity works is if the majority of the herd is vaccinated. This wouldn't be a big deal except there are lots of people who CAN'T be vaccinated for various reasons, and those are usually the people who most need to be…

I'm still here, obviously busy and never checking message boards, but I'm here :)

I am starting a new diet bet on Monday if anyone is still interested in checking it out. My first diet bet ends tomorrow and Money (or the potential to lose it I guess) is a great motivator for me! :) Please join me for Shanon's DietBet starting on Apr 15. We are playing in a 4-week challenge to lose 4% of your starting…

The Seafood one is my Fav too, followed by the italian (the one with just salami & pepperoni) with marinara :) On the healthier side of the menu it would probably be either the veggie patti (which is kind of high in calories) or turkey, no cheese, spinach, olives, peppers and red wine vinegar.

Realistic I would imagine you would both look close to the same, you might weight close to the same....But your insides would be completely different. The person eating a lot of junk would be at a higher risk for heart problems, high cholesterol, vitamin deficiencies, even type II diabetes (More things cause type II…

It falls under the "medical" deduction on your tax return. If you itemize your taxes and you purchase any special items for medical purposes, food, clothing, equipment, prescriptions, they can be tax deductible with very specific limits. Same goes for lactose-free milk or any other diet-specific food, however you have to…

Whenever I am doing a lot of traveling I try to get up and take a walk at the hotel in the morning if they don't have a gym. Another key for me is choosing the best option off of the menu when we go out to eat or stop for fast food on the road. I also try to keep fruits that don't have to be refrigerated on hand (like…

I would very much like that recipe...Marshmallow Brownies...Sound AMAZING!!!

That has always been my line, my husband has finally caught on though and started calling me out because I usually snag a couple of his :)

My coworkers who do the same thing are also guilty of always getting the largest slice of cake on birthday day because it's a special occasion or grabbing a doughnut when someone brings them in "Just one treat won't hurt" Which is true, but it's never just one treat for the day/week/month/whatever--it's one treat for that…
