Damn the Dr. Oz show for outing Sriracha! We've been using different versions of this stuff since I was a kid. Up until the last 2 years they've been a dollar and a half-ish around my area. Now, they're going for about $3 a pop! Still worth it though. Good stuff man!

When I first re-started a few months ago (without MFP), I lost about 9 lbs by changing things in my diet. After I added exercise, I didn't lose anything for a whole month. However, I noticed that my body changed in a very positive way. I was stronger (more push-ups), had more energy (no more grogginess) and my thighs,…

LOL. Nice.

I have seen some people on here that would say that's okay just as long as it's within the calorie limit. Makes me INSANE! @heat4212- It's great to know that you're doing a lot better with the healthy eating, so congrats! OP- YES! I'm with you girl! I've been trying to change my eating habits so that it more of a lifestyle…

I've been married over 12 years and have had 3 awesome kids in the meanwhile. So like many women who've had kids, I gained weight and my body changed drastically. My DH has always had a fast metabolism plus he works out very often and keeps himself in pretty good shape. Compared to him, I felt frumpy and was VERY self…

Welcome! I'm 31 with 3 babies and I'm kinda a newbie on MFP as well. I signed up a while ago but didn't really use it's resources much because I lost weight fairly quickly on my own. Now 2 babies later, the combo of age and maternity packed a punch so hard I'm gonna need help to recover. So, here I am and I'm open to…

I try. I seriously do. But I find myself "cleaning" off the spoon when I'm finished dishing out portions for the kids and think "CRAP! How the hell am I gonna log that?" I usually don't unless I realize I've done it again. Then I'll try to guesstimate as best as I can.

She didn't hear it from her doctor. Her mother received a call from her doctor when her blood work came in. Yes, I understand the big issue about sparing her feelings, that's why I'm looking to not only spare those precious feelings but to also spare her life which I believe is more important.

I get what you mean and I didn't want to make it sound like it was ALL about deceiving her, but it seems a good idea to take keep the pressure off of her. I think that if I introduce her to those activities as a companion she might breathe a little easier and focus on the fun instead of performing. I am not going to feel…

I'm 5'1, 31 yrs old and now weigh 146ish lbs. Heaviest was less than 6 months ago at 152 lbs. When I was a teenager around 18 I was VERY active but I ate like a frat boy- 105 lbs I'd like to be a comfortable 115-120ish lbs. But honestly, I just want to be proportionate, toned and healthy no matter what number the scale is…

I think that's kinda brilliant! I'll see if I can label it as a "girls' only" type of activity and include her mother as well. But I have a feeling she might feel uncomfortable breaking a sweat around her. And since I'm the cool, hip, cousin ;p maybe she'll want to start a regimen with me to "keep me motivated." Maybe…

Hello! I too am nosy! ;p Congrats on your success so far. Feel free to add me. I am just starting out with the logging of everything. It's soooo time consuming but these type of diaries have helped so many people, I am willing to give it an honest try. I'm always down for some constructive criticism and positive advice so…

My 15 yr old cousin is pretty sensitive and takes everything personally and negatively. My aunt has told me that at her last physical, her cholesterol was high as well as her blood pressure and she is at risk for many of the health issues associated with being overweight. We are concerned because her father's side of the…

Hello! Feel free to add! I've been on and off this site for a while and have renewed my determination to actually stay put this time and maybe make some friends who may help me keep my eye on the ball. A little about me: I'm a mom of 3 with about 30lbs of very stubborn baby weight. I've started a new healthy eating and…

Man! I REALLY feel old. I was a teen fresh out of H.S. getting ready for my retail job. Saw it on T.V. in the bedroom and cried. I'm not normally a watering pot of a female, but knowing that it was real and that those people had families who were all probably watching and wondering was devastating.
