MFP Overeaters United
I have created a private group called MFP Overeaters United for those of us who need something a little something extra. I made it private so that anyone who joins would be able to share freely without any judgment. You either have to be invited in or request in. If anyone is interested in joining, let me know through this…

Dear Younger Me
I don't know if a thread like this has ever been started on MFP, but I thought it might be interesting nonetheless. Though the premise is to write a letter to your younger self (and that is totally fine if that is the slant that is used), but I want this to be an open place for that type of letter as well as a letter that…

Celiacs Disease
I am posting this for my niece who will be going in one day this week for food sensitivity testing. One of the things that she'll be tested for is Celiacs Disease. Of course, it's not something that I want her to have, but I realize that it won't be the end of the world if she does...it's just that she is only 6. I was…

First Time in a Long Time
Open Discussion: I would love to hear from both the men and women of MFP. I have been out of the dating scene for a while and am a reserved person until I am comfortable around someone new. I am looking to try speed dating - at least once - and since I have never done anything like that before, I am curious to know what…

The Last Time
It seems like I have done the whole dieting process a thousand times over because of various reasons. I am at the point where this is the LAST time I want to be doing this and want to sincerely make changes that will last a lifetime, not just until I shamefully fall off the wagon. All of this being said and knowing how…

Phaser
I have come to realize that though I am an all or nothing kinda gal, this approach doesn't work for me when I want to lose weight. I am what I call a "phaser" - someone who has to do things in phase that will lead me to the bigger goal/picture. I want to start eating Paleo, and have wanted to for the last couple of year,…

Carb Cycling
Has anyone ever heard of carb cycling? If so, who has actually done it or is currently doing it? What made you decide this was the right path for you? How did you get started? Where did you go for information, etc?

What brand is your favorite and why?

Low Glycemic
I am interested in moving toward a lower glycemic diet/lifestyle. I was hoping that there would be someone or more than a one or two who lived this lifestyle. Any advice you could shed would be great.

Anyone Interested in...
...doing a recipe swap? Hear me out: Often times my biggest struggle with weight loss/maintenance is that I get stuck eating the same things or types of things. When this happens, I get bored and eventually fall off the wagon. So, I have decided to try something new. Dinner has always been the meal that gave me a run for…

Probably A Long Shot, but...
...is there anyone on MFP from the Middle Tennessee area? Don't worry, I ask because I want to get a new tattoo and was wondering if there happened to be anyone on here from this area that could recommend a tattoo parlor. The last one I went to, I loved the artist, but he has moved further out that I want to travel. Any…

Mindless Munchies
The last couple of days I have been dealing with a terrible case of mindless munchies. It tends to struck mid to late afternoon and I am afraid that if I don't do something about it now, I will blow everything I have worked towards thus far. Anyone have any suggestions as how to combat this issue?

Trouble in the Kitchen
Hey everyone! I am new to the MFP community. I was hoping I could pick y'all's brain for some pointer on nutrition/recipes. I have struggled with my weight throughout my life and have been on countless yo-yo diets with no avail. My biggest struggle with food has been sugar. I have kicked the habit (22 days today of being…
