Not quite free I don't think, but there's Yoga to the People.

Salsa, sriracha, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice. Or use more spices!

Yeah, as far as what counts as "non-diet," I know that that's kind of a nebulous term. I think I meant that it was either a food that you already ate, or one that doesn't really have "diet" connotations culturally. Maybe even something you could serve at a party or bring to a potluck or something without it sticking out in…

I made these peanut butter cookies tonight and they are insanely good! http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2007/12/peanut-butter-cookies/#more-381

Greek yogurt with frozen strawberries and coffee with cream. And then I got to work and my boss had made homemade donuts, so I had one of those. So good!

You all inspired me so I picked up some Talenti chocolate (double chocolate maybe? I'm too lazy to get up and look...) and had two servings of that.I had never tried it before and it was good, but I really wanted to try some of the other flavors that the market I went to didn't have. I also made pudding to give to a friend…

I just bought some of the chocolate kind the other day for the first time and I've been putting it on everything. I like it on cinnamon raisin toast or mixed in Greek yogurt with dark chocolate chips. I'm planning to try to make cookies with it at some point as well.

Those Chocolove dark chocolate bars with almonds and salt are insanely good. I used to live across from an overpriced organic market and I would buy them almost everyday. They're like 200 cals or something and I aim for around 1300 but I would plan around them! Now I just moved somewhere else where I can't find them and…

I'm not a truck driver but I just started a job where I drive a ton. Da7keith thank you so much for detailing your routine -- that is super helpful!

I'm really interested to see how other people answer this. I don't have any great advice, but it helps me if I don't beat up on myself if I have a bad day (or couple of days). That only makes things worse, I think. Besides, life is so much bigger than that and it would be a waste to spend too much of it obsessing over…

Awesome! You look great! I've gone from almost the same starting weight to the same current weight as you, but don't look nearly as good. Mind sharing how tall you are? And maybe how you did it?

Maybe Quest bars? Or trail mix? All the serious swimmers I've ever known (and weirdly, I've known quite a few) had to eat a lot of calories. She probably really needs something to fuel her.

I can't quite tell if you're concerned that you might be developing binge/disordered eating or are just frustrated by being unable to meet your goals. If it's the latter, I would suggest just taking a breath and trying to simplify. It seems like you have a number of dietary goals (vegan, low-cal, gluten free, etc.), which…

I'm also looking to lose about 30 pounds. I'm halfway there but getting discouraged because like you I feel like I have no clue as to what size I am. Hopefully this will help me too..

I don't have much advice on the possible ADHD components of this but my only advice would be to make sure that you're not treating his eating too differently from that of other members of the family. I remember when I was a chubby kid if I didn't like something it was pretty much tough luck for me, but my mom would make my…

I started around 165-160 at 5'3" although I lost the first bit without myfitnesspal. I'm at 141 now, almost completely based on diet. I eat around 1300 a day, although I go over probably at least once a week going out with friends and things. Now that spring is coming and it's getting harder for me to lose I'm hoping to…

I relax my calorie goal on the weekend so I can go out with friends and have fun. I still try to keep it at or below where I think my maintenance calories are though, so that I"m not actually undoing my work over the week. Otherwise, at 1300 a day, it's tough to fit in a couple of drinks or a dinner out.

I had this problem. It really sucked at the time but I recovered after a couple of months. I went to the doctor and she gave me some stretches to do -- you could probably find them online. She also told me some people find it helps to wear a shoe with a bit of a heel during the day, which I found to be the case. I had to…

Wow, that's dramatic! Congrats!

Bumping this to save for later.

Hey everyone, I'm 22 and looking to lose about 20 pounds. I've been using the food log part of this site, but just started looking at the message boards and stuff, so that's why I don't have a real picture yet. Would love some friends in similar situations!

Bumping to revive this thread!

I was just about to ask this question -- I'm glad I thought to look back a while to see if it had already been addressed. Bumping this up now cause it's such a great resource, other people new to the group might want to see it.

Test:

Great idea! I'm aiming for 50. Hopefully this will help me brave the cold and get out there.
