keto/low carb freezer prep
Hi folks! So I have a friend who will be going into surgery soon, and one thing I was looking for is some keto/low carb freezer friendly meals that can just be heated up so she doesn't have to really cook. I personally am not on a keto diet, but my friend prefers the keto lifestyle as it keeps some of her stats in check.…

small make-ahead sweet treats
So I meal prep all of my lunches for the week. Generally it consists of 2 veggies, or a veggie and starch, and about 3-5oz of protein (I generally use chicken breast, the mister uses chicken thighs). I try and keep the calories between 300-350. I've been at this for 10 weeks, and I have no issue with meal prep, but I'm…

When you wake up feeling lighter
I've been hovering around 206 lbs for the past few weeks with a few fluctuations here and there. I was fine with it because the mister and I have gone out to eat a few times, and hormones. But I woke up this morning feeling physically lighter, and I knew before I even got on the scale that my weight would have dropped.…

pinterest recipes
up front: this is more of a whiny rant than anything else ;) does anyone else search for low calorie/healthy/low-carb/diet-of-choice/etc recipes and in the middle of all those nice healthy-looking pictures there's some "triple chocolate oreo 'better-than-sex' delight" type recipe picture? Drives me crazy lol! I find myself…

oh snow days...
currently sitting in the middle of blizzard-like conditions (I believe the last forecast I saw said 18-30 inches). My dog (a sheltie), wants to go outside constantly to go bounce around in snow that currently is up to her chest. My other dog, a Chihuahua, is curled up under the biggest pile of blankets she can find. My…

pinnacle garcinia cambogia and mango cleanse
I am aware that the weight loss claims for these products are hokum :) Before I learned about MFP and Forums, and some of the myths, I had gotten a bottle of each of these, and never opened them. I recently found them and was wondering if they had any other benefits? Would they help with hair, skin and nails? Is it…

accountability without judgement?
My fiance and I have been on a healthier eating plan since 1/15/17. I meal prep all the breakfasts/lunch/snacks on Sunday, and I plan dinners throughout the week. I am personally counting all my calories to keep track of my weight loss, but he does not count. He has lost some weight, mostly because I portion everything so…

that moment when...
...you step on a scale and you didn't gain as much as you thought you would! Last night was our Valentines day dinner, and I knew I wouldn't be able to count the calories very well (I estimated in my diary as best as possible though, and preferred to overestimate rather than choose some of the database options that were…

Wii U Fit
Hey all! So a few years ago I used the original Wii Fit to get some light exercise in my day, and I really enjoyed it. I know it wasn't a whole lot of exercise, but it worked for me :) Of course I fell off the wagon and stopped using it for a while, and the weight I lost is all but gone :( I recently purchased the Wii U…

I am 5'2, current weight 214.1 lbs, which is 5 lbs lighter than when I started counting calories on 1/15/17, and 9 lbs lighter from Christmas.
