"Well...@#%&" - me AND hubby simultaneously while looking at test go positive
Well I went and lost 30 lbs and got preggers again girls. I'm overjoyed of course, but I'm not looking forward to a hot, sweaty, miserable summer in CO (if you think winter here is bad, ugh, I really have to get back to the coast). Set myself to maintain for trimester one and here I am. Due date in mid November, and here's…

K, who has great protein intake and an open diary?
My protein intake sucks and I need ideas, because of the top three options for protein I'm aware of (that are not shakes and bars) are Meat (I'm not a vegan, I just really don't like meat), Eggs (I like eggs...ish) and beans(need I say more). So who's got an open diary where I can scope out some good ideas for protein rich…

Helpful tools for scale-lovers
If you're way past this and it's kindergarten level for you, good for you and I probably love your posts on the forum:) For those of us still in MFP grade school, I found these two really helpful tools and have been using them for a month or so now and I thought I'd share. I dunno about y'all, but I like to weigh…

All the Lies
Hey all, I thought it would be cool to talk about (especially new people like myself) some of the things we tell/told ourselves when we were in denial about our weight. I'm not saying reopen old wounds or anything, please don't, but I think it's helpful to hear things like this: I used to tell myself that my genes…

Help... CoffeeNCardio and the Weightlifter's Fragile Ego
Did you like my Harry Potter discussion title? Ha ha! So for real now: I have terrible terrible anxiety about going to the weights area of my gym. I use the cardio machines there with no trouble, you can hardly humiliate yourself walking on a treadmill. I'm fine with failure, I handle failure well. I DO NOT handle public…

Losing lower than goal for when you reach maintenance?
Kay, so I heard on the vine the following: "you may gain 3 - 5 pounds when you go into maintenance, so it's wise to lose slightly below your goal weight. That way, when you are changing to maintenance, you'll end up AT your original goal weight, in spite of the small gains." I'm just curious as to the accuracy of this…

My first REAL NSV!!!!!!!!!!!
I JOGGED FOR FIVE STRAIGHT MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never in my adult life been able to jog for more than like 2 minutes tops. I can walk forever, but I could never ever EVER jog. My legs are SUPER SUPER sore, but I haven't been this proud of myself since I got my SAT scores…

Ladies... has anyone had a baby since they lost weight and come back down to goal?
So this is probably ridiculous, I mean CICO works, so obviously it can be done. But I've been worrying (probably needlessly) what am I gonna do when Hubby and I have another baby. We want 2-3 and I've never tried to lose weight before now and I'm doing well, but what do you do if you get pregnant. What do you do while…

Recipes website with included nutritional data??
Hey, I'm horribly non creative. Trying to get hold of some recipes that don't take an hour to prepare and are low cal while still being macro-rich. It's all good if you have a specific recipe you've found you love, but anyone know of an app or site with specifically healthy recipes? I have found a few but they don't have…

C25k people, how do you log your C25k workout?
So I started C25k today. It was awesome I'm really happy I'm doing it! But how on earth do you log such ups and downs. Obviously the treadmill gave me a calorie burn number (256? I don't think so) but we all know how well we can trust those, plus my treadmill is ancient and the numbers reset all the time so I don't trust…

So I keep hearing "eat back 1/2 your exercise calories"..... elaborate?
So, this doesn't necessarily apply to me (it could, I dunno) but I keep hearing people say "eat back half your exercise calories" as opposed to all of them or none of them I'm assuming. How does this work? Is it linear? Should someone who burns 1000 cal exercising only eat back 500, the same as a person who burns only 200…

Food Scale Assistance??? What to get?
Okay y'all, so I've only got $27 to spend ONCE. I'm trying to get as much info as possible before I do cause the lady on the phone at Target says they won't take kitchen food-prep items (under which they categorize their scales) as returns unless they are unopened. So I really don't want to pick a crummy one. Obviously I…
