Retreating from the Main Boards to This Group
I hope this is where I'll feel more comfortable than on the main MFP boards. All the focus on fast food being okay, bacon-wrapped chocolate, so much emphasis on calories and not nutrition, delivered by nonprofessionals with snarky attitudes has driven me away. I love clean eating, and by that, I mean lean proteins, healthy…

Motivating NSVs
Loose jeans are good. Being able to sit down and bend over to tie my shoes is good. But this is the best one yet. I've lost 24 pounds and have a long long way to go, but today I picked up a 26-pound bag of dog food and thought, "Huh..." I scooped out two pounds of food and lifted the bag again. WHOA. I called my husband…

How soon does a "craving day" show up on the scale?
I used to hear from weight-loss counselors that it can take 2-3 days for a bad dieting day to show up on the scale. How true is that? Or does overindulging one day show up on the scale sooner? It makes no sense to me that it would take more than a day.

Asparagus Season!!
Yayy! It's affordable now! I can't get enough asparagus this time of year. I love it just steamed and will eat it hot or cold, with a meal or on its own. I scramble it into a veggie frittata, but I'd like to know if any of you have a favorite asparagus recipe. There are three pounds of it in my fridge right now. Maybe I'll…

What does your garden grow?
Are any of you growing food? Talk about clean eating -- harvesting your own! Even if you can only grow a few herbs or one tomato plant in a container, it just boosts your motivation to eat what you've just picked. We just got our vegetable plot put together last weekend and I have seeds started under grow lights in the…

Searching in the Groups Tab
So there are 1124 pages of groups and no way to do a search? I can't scroll through all of that. Am I missing something here?

My favorite frozen tofu confection
I know, I know...tofu. It turns so many people off. But I concocted this satisfying and indulgent confection 25 years ago when I was on this journey. It helped me to stay away from ice cream, which had been one of my real weaknesses. This is creamy and smooth like soft-serve ice cream. It's sweet and it's fruity. 12 oz.…

Website and Mobile Problems
I am a month into using MFP and I absolutely love it. I've lost 12 pounds and feel very motivated. But WOW -- the website is giving me problems. It rarely lets me log a food that's in my Recipes tab. I've only been able to do it one day -- yesterday. I usually end up doing it from my phone. But now the mobile app is a…

12 down, 100+ to go
Okay, finally I'm posting in this thread. I've been using MFP for one month and have lost nearly 12 pounds, which I guess is a good rate for a woman in her 60s. (A very youthful 60s, thankverymuch!) I don't know how I managed to gain 120 pounds in the last 27 years, but hey, I'm obviously very good at that. There is a huge…
