  • Thank you very much. That is a good start.
  • So I dont have any recipes saved but I found a few recipes on google. Recipes for everything bagels and such. Stock up on lots of cheese because a lot of these recipes use a lot of it.
  • So basically when you do keto (I'm new too) your body goes from burning regular gas station fuel to high octane fuel for jets and stuff. Your body goes from using glucose as a fuel to burning stored fat. Sometimes people go through what is known as the "keto flu". To put it plainly it's your body adjusting to your new…
  • I have been away for some time and back in full swing. I'm actually trying to walk to Keto path so wish me luck lol. As far as a calculator there are plenty for keto but I would imagine there is one for just low carb. When I doubt google it out.
  • It is. Free time is so scarce. Damn adulting! Lol. I'm sure you'll make your goals. Just gotta be patient with yourself and not beat yourself up if you mess up. That will only make things worse because when your self-esteem is down, so is control over yourself.
  • That's something I have a HUGE problem with is boredom hunger. I'm bored so I think I'm hungry and so I eat. But I'm not hungry. Just bored. So the more I distract myself with other activities (crafts, outdoor work, video games, cleaning, etc) the less I eat. School does horrible things to a schedule. So I had to take a…
  • Sounds kinda like we're in the same boat! Which is not so awesome. I lost about 20 lbs (only half way to my goal) and was interrupted by schooling and just got into a new job and I gained 15lbs of it back. I was so mad and disappointed. I wanted to give up. I'm still trying to find my footing in between busy times but I…
  • Welcome back! Where in Michigan? I live in South Haven! Feel free to add me. Good luck on your quest!
  • A good recipe is NOT expensive. A good recipe should also not have ten thousand ingredients. If its work just to read the recipe, you should find new recipe. Think of something you like. TACOS! easy. Taco shells ground turkey taco seasoning lettuce tomato cheese cook the turkey until brown. add seasoning. put turkey in…
  • Navy?!?! Thats quite the goal!!! I think that would be one of the coolest jobs ever! If you ever need some help or tips just let me know! Good luck on your quest and I hope you get to join!!!
  • I joined MFP last November and it gave me a nice boost to my goals. The sad thing I notices was that no matter how much I was on, my MFP friends never seemed to talk to me much. When I looked at their list of friends, they all had 50+ people on their friends list. I left for a long time. This is actually the first day I've…
  • Sadly its true. And every body is different so what works for one person doesnt always work for the next. I've heard (and in the process of trying it myself) balance protein with complex carbs (potatoes, rice, NOT PASTA) and then all the fruit and veggies you want, helps boost your metabolism. Plus you eat small frequent…
  • Deep breath... its gonna be ok. Yes that is a LOT of cookies but instead of beating yourself up about it, just let it go. I mean, it doesnt happen every day right? Sometimes we just fall into little pits but its nothing to get out of. I would just focus on eating right the rest of the day, see if you cant squeeze maybe…
  • Damn those cupcake bringing people! Cant they see I'm in the middle of a diet although I need a bucket to catch my drool when I see the cupcakes! lol Actually I'm taking a breadless challenge right now so if I were to see cupcakes, I'll gladly turn the other way. Feel free to add me.
  • South Haven!
  • It could very well be the DUMBEST excuse but... I stopped caring so much because my boyfriend at the time told me I looked good no matter what. Which is sweet and all but I stopped paying attention to what food I consumed and how active I was being. Not long ago I noticed these HUGE stretch marks forming on my stomach. I…
  • I am upset no one has replied to your post !!! that never happens!!! I would love to be your friend. Love going to the gym. I've been on since november and i've already lost 13 pounds! wooo! so we should swap fitness tips and stuff! Feel free to add me!!!
  • ok... thanks to many of the stupid guys and catty girls who replied to this post. Dont be afraid dude. Maintain cool, because bears can smell fear. Shake the guys hand. Let him know that you arent a sissy or afraid of him. Girls love chivalry (opening doors, pulling chairs) makes them feel special. I think her dad should…
  • Please tell me you're allowed a fridge at least! Ok focus on a couple of things. Two foods that play off of eachother to make a lasting meal. Protein and a healthy grain. Protein gives the energy, fiber gives the "stay fuller for longer" feel. One of my easy favorites is a breakfast burrito. Protein: boiled egg and turkey…
  • Wowee! You look wonderful. Any special tips for a struggling student?
  • My friends at work refer to me as "Ginger" and now i answer to it. Go redheads!
  • Its ok. I started at the end of November and it can be tough. I am really good at staying on track now that i have my MFP account but lack of motivation is huge. One tip if you really like to sit.... exercise ball! I love to play video games after the gym so i sit on my exercise ball instead of the couch and it provides a…
  • Im ready to re-sculpt my body to make a more beautiful canvas for new tattoos! Working out every day and staying on the "healthy wagon" and by the end of this winter i'll wear a two piece for the first time in 6 years and show off some new ink!
  • STORY OF MY LIFE!!!! lol its horrible. i love food. food is my addiction. i would rather eat or think of something fun and super unhealthy to cook than eat right and work out. im Audrey. i am 5'11" and i weight about 230 lbs. i really wanna get back to maybe 180 but for starters my goal is at 200. i have a hard time…
  • My boyfriend used to do the same thing. only he didnt have a job. yes it was my fault for letting it slide but i work full time to come home to a dirty house, full of clothes and dishes and what not? No way! he is also the same way about doing his own "business" such as making phone calls and keeping his money budgeted.…
