Green Smoothies
My husband and I want to start drinking green smoothies, myself especially. I wanted to ask if anyone had any recommendations on blenders and tasty green smoothie recipes. I want a vitamix but is it really necessary to spend $500 on a blender. I love the warranty and I do plan on using it everyday if I can find smoothie…

Reintroducing Myself
This is maybe my third or fourth time starting a weight loss/lifestyle change on MFP. I keep coming back because it is tried and true for MW.it definitely works and I have recommended it to many people even though I have fell off a couple of times.

What's my motivation?
So I haven't been doing very well for almost a week now, it has partly to do with a cash flow problem (foods good for you are not too good on the wallet) ya'll know what I mean...and partly to do with a stand still between me and my scale (it's easy to be motivated when the results are consistant). Anyway, this morning my…

Can anybody swear by the Total Gym?

Stupid Ducks...
I'm the type of person that will put off the important stuff if I don't have my "ducks in a row" yet I can be impulsive, and ultimately regretful, with other things--mainly spending money. Point is, I have to research and plan and buy things to get myself "motivated" to lose weight. Normally, it works at first...I buy all…

I'm afraid of food...
When trying to eat healthier if you're not open to trying new things you pretty much limit yourself to what you can eat. I'm trying to get into cooking and trying other good healthy foods beside grilled chicken, brown rice, and wheat bread. I'm not a big fish eater but I can eat tilapia and cod. Anyway I said all that to…

Ideas for a moist Turkey Burger?
I assume that the biggest problem a lot of people have with turkey burgers is the dryness...right, am I right? I'm not the one to solve this problem but I figured with all the experience combined of my MFP fam someone might have some insight to share. This is a recipe I just got off the internet...not tested, but I'd like…

Wii workout recommendations?
I've been doing fairly well with my calorie cutting and counting. It's not TOO difficult for me because I can eat anything and eat the same thing over and over. My downfall is sweets and pasta and since I'm trying to say away from them right now....I'm pretty ok. However, I'm not exercising the way I want or need. I can…

Your Shape feat Jenny McCarthy
Not a review because I'm not exactly sure how I feel about Your Shape just yet. I was expecting to be totally disappointed reading the reviews it had gotten but over all I'm not dissatisfied. I see some of the camera flaws some reviewers were talking about but they're not as bad or deal breakers for me. I asked MFPs what…

Hey MFP. I've been away for quite awhile. It's hard for me to do stick with something when I don't have a plan. I've decided to get back with it and not look for quick fixes. I'm getting married. Maybe that's a motivator, but not the only reason why I've decided to get serious with my weight loss goal. Basically, I don't…

Carb Cycling Diet?
Has anyone tried carb cycling? I've read that it is safe and healthy. As a former Atkins dieter, I can say that the weight does come off, but I don't believe it is a very healthy way to live your entire life but I'm curious about carb cycling since I haven't been able to lose weight lately. Anyone?.........
