I share it with my friends. But I don't know if it's really interesting for my non-norwegian friends. Most of the foods in my diary are listed in norwegian and many are not available in other contries.

Well I ate a lot of sweets and high calorie snacks in my teens. But not having a car and living on the top of a hill, going out dancing every weekend and generally being more active kept me skinny. When I moved in together with my husband, got a job and had money to buy my own food and snacks the weight started piling on.…

I make frozen yoghurt in my ice cream maker. Just yoghurt and sometimes some fruit or dark chocolate.

A lot of times I see that foods I know have iron in them, don't have it registered in the MFP database. Like the oatmeal I use. I know my iron levels are good, so I don't worry much about this.

This summer we have no big plans. But I think we're going to visit my father in law and his family at their holiday home if the weather is good. And maybe a weekend at a nice hotel. We're decorating our basement to make 2 more bedrooms and a den. So we have a lot of work to do this summer. I'm so looking forward to having…

Well I'm 5'3 and the last time I was 110 was when I was 20. At 33 I think his would be an unrealistic goal for me and something I wouldn't be able to maintain over time. My goal is to get down to 135 lbs and then see if I want to continue or if I'd rather want to build some muscle mass. I don't need to be really skinny, I…

Thanks! Today I wore my fitbit all day. I did an hour of exercising and went for a walk tonight. Normally I would log the exercise at maybe 4-500 calories, but the walk I would count as normal everyday activity. But the fitbit tells MFP that I have over 900 exercise calories, so now I have over 1000 calories left for…

Jeg har hatt en litt frustrerende måned der det har stått mye stille, selv om jeg ikke har jukset. Men målte meg for et par dager siden og har mistet 9 cm rundt livet siden slutten av april, så da skjer det jo ting alikevel. Og nå virker det som om vekten også beveger seg raskere nedover. Føler at jeg har klart å finne ut…

I'm loosing weight without being hungry, but only because I think about what I'm eating. If I wanted to loose weight fast and while eating a lot of calorie dense food, I'd be hungry all the time. But I also think the first weeks of learning how to eat better can be hard. Sometimes I used to eat until I was so full that my…

I've had a month where my weight have been standing still. I've logged all my food and exercise and stayed within my calorie goals. It's just the last few days the weight has started changing. But in the same month I've lost more than 2 inches around my waist, so something is happening even if I can't see it on the weight.…

Vegetable and chicken stir fry with whole wheat noodles.

I just don't understand how people can be so much in denial. I've eaten loads of unhealthy food to get overweight, but I still knew I ate it and that is wasn't good for me. And they always say in the beginning of the show that they have loads of salads, but there's almost never salad when the food they've eaten is…

The last time we went on vacation to Greece I came home 5 kg heavier. We had all inclusive at the hotel and they had great food. So I ate too much and drank calories too. I don't want that to happen when we go to spain this year. So we are going to go with self catering this time and shop in a supermarket. We will still go…

I've started thinking week calories rather than day calories. So if I have calories left, I can have a little extra in the weekend. But I must admit I don't like it when I see my net calories in red at the end of the day.

I've always known why I got fat and the things I needed to do to loose weight. But that's only half of what you need, I couldn't do it until I got motivated and ready. I didn't blame anything but myself, but I also found comfort in my chocolate and cakes. I think it's often easy to feel that since you could do it,…

I eat a lot of things like these. We have many different types here in Norway, both thin and thick crispbreads. I also eat a lot of these

My goal is to get my BMI down to normal. I don't know if I'll continue with weightloss after that or if I'll just try to maintain. I don't think my body will ever be perfect after three children, but as long as I can buy the clothes I like and feel good about myself that's ok. My goal is also to get in good shape and be…

My favorite is this one from figleaves http://www.figleaves.com/uk/product/FIG-SS117166/figleaves-swimwear-Tuscany-Spot-Shaping-Swimsuit/?size=&colour=Black

I'm a mum to a child with asperger and I think a lot of people don't understand how meltdowns in kids with autism differs from normal childrens tantrums. When my daughter has a meltdown she is closed of from the world and it's no point in trying to talk sense to her or punishing her. She is very sensitive and too much…

I don't drink much coffee, and I prefer the milk based drinks. So I make homemade latte. I have a stovetop mocca kettle and grind my own coffee. I might add a little bit of sugar, but not always and never more than 2-4 grams. And I make foam with an electrical milk frothier that makes great thick foam from my 1,2% laktose…

Posted to the wrong thread. Sorry!

I feel I'm lucky to have a supportive family and friends. My mum got diabetes a couple of years ago and her and my dad has made a lifestyle change too. My husband also supports me, even if he sometimes tells me if I'm getting a bit neurotic about my food. But he's in for the lifestyle change we're making for both of us and…

When I just had my oldest daughter I always felt these were wrong to use. Then I got my son and I could understand why someone would use one. But we live in a rural place and I mostly used to babywear or bring a stroller. I remember when I was close to my due date with my youngest and he could out run me. Once he got to…

My hair is about half way down my back, so not as long as yours. I often French braid my hair, either a regular, a sideways or a zig zag french braid.

I use wholegrain pasta and I feel it fills me up. But I make sure I eat it with lean meat and lots of vegetables.

Hi I'm Hilde and I did my first day og zombies, Run! 5k today. Hopefully I'm going to be able to do this!

I'm logging everything at the moment. I'm quite new to this and I want to learn how much I can eat of different foods and still get full and have a balanced diet. I haven't eaten out much latelty, but if I do I do an estimate of what I eat and then add some calories to be sure.

I think the people who succeed after surgery are not cheating. I know a couple of success stories where the person really have made a lifestyle change and worked on their emotional problems. But I think sometimes people think it's going to be easy. I have a woman in my close family who had weight loss surgery. She is now…

I'm in Norway and am also using metrics. Feel free to add me, I could use more friends.
