Let's Talk About Non Scale Victories - shall we?
I think it's super motivating to hear about others' NSV. When the scale isn't moving much, but you see a difference other places. So, I'll go first.. I'm finding that I can lift a bunch of grocery bags all at once; I feel so much stronger! Also, those constant fast food cravings? Not much any more!

What did you say "NO!" to today?
I was tired and hungry after a big grocery trip with 2 small children - but I said NO to the 3 fast food joints nearby. They looked good, but I passed them anyway!

No loss for 10 days. Is this normal?
I've been on MFP (again) for about 6 weeks and am stuck. I lost 4 lbs quickly (water, I know) and then 3 more in a couple of weeks and now I'm at the exact same weight for almost 2 weeks. I'm 5'5", currently 170-ish, I do short cardio and weight training 6 days a week, drink at least 9 cups of water a day and eat between…

Bikini Body Mommy anybody?
Is anyone else doing the bikini body mommy workout? I'm on version 4.0 - day 9. It's about all I can fit into my day, but I really enjoy it. Looking for anybody else who's working out with our BBM friends, or anyone who wants to try it. It's quick!

Vitamins, Supplements. Do you use them?
So, last year I was sick with every bug that came through my house, my neighborhood, possibly the state. I was (no kidding) sick from November until June. I'm not normally prone to every virus, but there you have it. One of the reasons I decided to get back on the wagon and eat better was that I don't want to go through…

No really, how do you say NO to foods and habits you've had your whole life?
I've yo-yo dieted a few times, and the things that keep coming back to me are 1. Mindless eating (Oh look, one cookie left on that plate) and 2. Being brought up not to waste food (oh look, we shouldn't throw that last cookie away, that would be wasteful.) So, what do you do to crack that weirdo code in your brain that…

Ratatouille recipe?
I've heard from a number of sources that ratatouille can be a great staple recipe for a healthy diet. Anybody eat this regularly and have a recipe they love? Many thanks!

Going to a baseball game tonight. What can I eat?
So, heading to a ball game with the hubby tonight and I LOVE ball game hot dogs. I've eaten very few calories today and I'm hoping I can have one and a diet soda (the only one of those I'm having this week.) Eh, what do you think?

Ate about 1000 calories of my "trigger" food tonight. Ack!
I've done great all week, and had eaten well today - then I went to make cookies for my husband's gaming group tomorrow. I cannot be around cookie dough! So, now I'm about 1550 cals for the day (350 over) and feel gross. Anything I can do to help at least bring the calorie overage down for the day? Anything to help negate…

My personal "ideal" weight is still overweight according to the charts. Is this a bad thing?
Hi, I'm 5'5" and 177 - and am wanting to get back down to 155, where I feel really good. I'm being encouraged to lose 10 lbs more than that to get into the top of a "normal" body weight for my height, but I feel gross at 145 and can't maintain it. I like me at 155 (heck, I like me now, but you know what I'm saying.) Is it…
