Non-Fiction Book Suggestions
I am curious what non-fiction books other MFP members have read/are reading and have enjoyed. I am in the mood to do a little book shopping and I love non-fiction. Any subject is fine, but any about nutrition/health/medicine get bonus points. :) Currently reading: Entertaining book so far, but still haven't formed an…

Color, Color, Color
I dunno, it might be a bust idea, but does anyone else here engage in coloring? Either with their kids or doing the "adult" coloring books? I thought it would be cool to see how other people color things in or alter coloring pages (so long as it stays within the guidelines here). Maybe I'm the only one, but I can't resist…

Birthdays
I haven't properly celebrated a birthday since I turned 21 (and I wouldn't call that a celebration so much as an excuse to binge drink). What do most of you do on your birthday? I usually just buy something I want and pretend the day doesn't exist. Where do you go? What do you do? Do you even celebrate it after the age of…

Hair Removal
Yep, title says it. How do you get rid of your unwanted hair? Do you shave it, wax it, laser it or something else? What products have you found that aid you in your desire to rid yourself of unwanted hair? We could go further: Why do you feel the need to rid yourself of hair in those areas? Unsightly, itchy? Maintaining an…

Presto Chang-o!
If you had the ability to instantly change one time consuming and/or detestable thing in your life, what would it be? Only one thing. No tacking on multiples that snowball off the initial wish. I'm torn between wanting my house instantly cleaned (including the litter boxes) and using the power to be instantly smooth and…

Silly Life Goals (or Not)
Oooooookay, so I have had enough of the "tall women please me, but only when they're in heels, but they can't be too short cause' ain't no one got time for those high maintenance shorties" threads. (And if you can't tell that was me being sassy, I am sorry you do not understand text humor, but it's just me having a bit o'…

Not-So-Wholesome Meme Thread
I didn't want to "pollute" @CaptainFantastic00 's thread, so post your less than wholesome memes here for our general amusement. Please keep in mind the community guidelines. I won't report you for cursing, but keep in mind others might, lol. If there was another thread like this already.. well, I don't give a *kitten*. I…

Allergies?
So.. the subject of allergies is a bit fascinating to me because we are all different and what may be fine for one individual will kill another. And yet, some allergies are just really, really bizarre when I run across them. So.. what are you allergic to? Anything? Know anyone who has an unusual allergy? P.S. Please do not…

Weird Headlines to Real Stories
So, I saw the other thread in which users are making up (quite hilarious) headliners for fictional news stories and thought, well.. I've seen more than enough legitimate stories that also had very odd headlines and figured we could post them here. New or old it doesn't matter. Links to a story are even better (if you have…

Presents for Non-Humans
So.. if you're into gift giving, we give family members and maybe close friends gifts, but how many of you give gifts to your animal companions? If you do, what gift do you give? How long do you spend picking out a gift for say.. your cat? Do you wrap it? Do you unwrap it for them? Do you dress up your animal companions…

Gray Hair
I'm just curious when (if you have already) you noticed your hair starting to turn gray. I know it's mostly genetic, but it fascinates me the age ranges I've heard. Some people, particularly men, seem to go gray a lot earlier than I would expect, but some women do, too. So when did you first notice? Or did someone else…

About Where You Live..
So another thread I was participating got me curious about where other people live. Some of us have lived in multiple places, others have lived in the same place their entire life. I want to know about where you wonderful people live. Do you like it there? How are the people? The sights? How do you get around? What's the…

I Find You All to Be..
The most engaging and supportive group of strangers I've encountered so far on the Internet. Genuinely, I had attempted this journey before when I was in a much darker place in life and on a different calorie tracking website and the support there was nowhere near as engaging or active as it is here. Sure, some of you are…

Meal Prep Ideas
Looking for meals/recipe ideas that are under 500 cal. per serving. Currently, I'm on 1600ish calories a day and I still sometimes find it difficult to cook meals that are healthy (I do a lot of cooking from scratch), but under 500 calories and filling. Under 400 is optimal, but I'll look at meal prep bowls and recipes…

I'm Interested in Having More Support!
Yep. :smiley: I want more people to support and others I can support here. Please add me if you want an extra member to your cheering squad. I find the motivation of others particularly useful in dealing with the side effects of depression when it comes to exercise and diet. My name here is the same as it was on CC.…

I Need Motivation!
So I'm a bit of a recluse and I don't exercise at a gym. I eat fairly well, almost always stay under my goals for the day (sodium and sugar sometimes get out of whack). I make most of my own food from home, but I am just horrible when it comes to either remembering to exercise or getting up the motivation to do so. I…

Hi, I'm CG (new to MFP)
So, I'm a "refugee" from CC (Calorie Count). There are a wave of us showing up here with its closing in March. I would like new friends to talk to, engage and motivate (and to motivate me because I need a lot of it). I'm trying to lose a substantial amount (to me) and I've not yet managed to get down to my goal weight…
