Vegans! Needing recipe ideas!
Hi everyone. I've been a member of MFP for years, but I've recently decided to adopt a vegan diet. I already eat mostly dairy free, due to a dairy intolerance, and I don't care for eggs. At this point, I figure cutting meat out as well won't be all that difficult. So, I'm looking for recipe ideas! Mostly for breakfast, and…

Heart healthy diet?
Hi everyone. I'm needing some advice. I had open heart surgery a little over a year and a half ago. I'm currently 5' 5" and around 179lbs. The lowest I've been in my adult life was the year before my surgery, and I was 149 lbs, and I was working out several hours a day (farm work) to reach that point. I'm pretty happy…

Needing recipe ideas...
So I meal prep for the week every Sunday for my lunches. However, I've gotten really bored with chicken and broccoli. Or chicken and green beans. Etc. I'm needing recipes that'll keep me feeling full, as afternoon snacking at work is my biggest downfall. I've recently been battling pleurisy, and it doesn't appear to be…

Eating frequency
I read every where that you're supposed to eat 5-6 small meals a day for various reasons. But recently I've started reading about the benefits of sticking to 3 meals a day. My question to you guys, which do you prefer and why?

Food cravings
So i was doing really, really well. I was eating right, working out, losing a pound a week and feeling fantastic. Now I'm down to 20lbs left to lose and the past couple of weeks my eating has spiraled out of control. I'm still working out regularly, but I feel like I've lost control over my eating habits. I still eat…

At home cardio
Ok guys. I need cardio ideas outside of running. I've been running 2 miles 5 days a week for the past month. I enjoy running those two miles. But anything beyond that becomes a chore. Not physically, mentally. I get bored which causes me to not try as hard and my form/posture falls apart and it just isn't enjoyable. Now…

Flexible Dieting
I'm sure this has been done to death. I searched previous topics and they weren't much help. So here it goes. So I've been tracking my calories for years. I'm at the point where I can basically eyeball what to eat, how much of it, etc to stay within my calories. Lately, I've been feeling like I've been forcing myself to…

Calorie allowance?
Did anyone else's calorie "allowance" get all screwy today? I didn't change anything, and I haven't logged a weight in two weeks, but yet my calories jumped from 1,380 per day to 1,590 per day? I'm a little confused..

Happy dance!
good morning everyone! Just had to share a little mini victory. I took my "beginning" measurements on February 2nd. Here it is March 2nd and I'm only down 3.6 lbs, so I was beginning to get a little discouraged. However. I took my measurements again and I'm down 7 inches total! An inch off my waist and 1.25 inches off my…

So I took my "before" pictures this morning.
And I will not be posting them. At least, not right now. But I've never been more motivated in my life. I knew I had weight to lose. What I didn't know is how I actually look. Especially from the back. I never knew I had excess fat on my back or the extent of the cellulite on my legs. Today, I am starting a new lifestyle.…

Heart rate monitors - The good, the bad, and the ugly.
Sorry if this post has been done before. I'm new to the message boards. I'm in the market for a hrm, but I don't know where to start. I see a ton of brands, models, etc. What do you guys use? What do you like/dislike about it?

Sweating for the wedding!
Hi Everyone! I've dabbled with this app for a couple years now but I've only recently started using it regularly. My name is Megan, I'm 21 years old, and my ultimate goal is to lose 40 pounds. However, I'm getting married in 7 months (August 22nd) and I want to lose AT LEAST 20 by then. My biggest issue is I have such poor…
