Back after baby
I used MFP to lose 40 lbs before my wedding in December 2015. I since have gone through IVF, a challenging pregnancy including bed rest and gained it all back and then some. Baby just turned 5 months old and I am finally feeling ready to take on this excess weight. I have about 4 months left on mat leave, so I'm hoping to…

Wedding bands
My fiance and I are meeting with our jeweler next week (ok, the jeweler that did my e-ring...we don't have "our jeweler" lol) to discuss wedding bands. I'm so unsure of what to go with! I'm kinda leaning towards a totally plain, thin yellow gold band. I don't know if it will go very well with my e-ring though. Thoughts?…

Sugar-Free September
Hi all, I went sugar-free for 30 days last September and I'm going to do it again this year. Starting tomorrow! It was a great experience because it caused me to pay close attention to how much sugar I was really eating every day and I found ways to make substitutions. Since my last Sugar-Free September, I’ve kept up the…

Lower calorie Thai restaurant options?
Trying to plan ahead, but am really struggling with this menu: saladking.com/ Nothing seems remotely low cal. I'm not a huge Thai food fan, so I'm not really excited about anything, and I'd rather go with the lowest cal option. Not going is not an option. I was thinking maybe the Basil Chicken, try to get the sauce on the…

Nut Free Protein Powder
Hi all, Can anyone suggest a totally nut-free protein powder? Not just something that doesn't contain nuts...but something that also avoids all risk of cross-contamination...meaning no "May contain", "Shared facilities", "Shared lines"....something that is definitely made in a nut-free facility? Thanks!

20 lbs to go
I have at most 20 lbs to go before reaching my ultimate goal weight of 120lbs (I'm 5'6). I've lost these pounds over and over again, but can never keep it off for long. Usually I think it's because I get there by restricting too heavily and then end up having a few good binges. Not this time. Trying to take it gradually to…

My biceps are too big.
This is going to sound kinda silly, but I want my arms to look thinner, and my biceps are too big. I think it's a result of doing way too many bicep curls when I didn't know what else to do with weights. I also swam for years so I feel like my arms/shoulders are just overall too big. I haven't swam in a good decade but…

overdoing it on protein powder?
I've been using a lot more protein powder lately and it's making a huge difference in keeping me satiated and preventing cravings...but could this be unhealthy? I'm mixing it into my morning coffee, yogurts and smoothies. 1 serving is around 30g, but some days I have 60g or maybe more. I'm still not generally hitting my…

Tricep exercises to do in the office?
Hi all, Does anyone have suggestions for tricep exercises that can be done without weights and without drawing too much attention in the office? I like to do other little exercises at my desk throughout the day, but haven't thought of anything that would work my triceps... Thanks!

30 lbs to lose
Hi all. I'm new(ish). I've tried using MyFitnessPal a few times in the past, but never stuck with it for very long. But I'm back because I'm getting married this year and really want to feel great when I start wedding dress shopping. My goal weight is 120lbs. I hadn't weighed myself in a few months, and recently replaced…
