PCOS Diet
I was diagnosed with PCOS 8 years ago but never had a weight issue until after I had my daughter 4 years ago. I gained 70 pounds during pregnancy and I still have 40 pounds of it. We recently tried to get pregnant and I had an ectopic pregnancy. They had to do surgery and found that I healed wrong from my c-section with my…

How do you log when you can't find nutrition info?
I went to lunch today with a friend at Macaroni Grill. I can't figure out the nutrition info. I went to their website and they only show their dinner menu calories, but the items I had are on their lunch menu. I tried googling info but not getting clear results. I had their 3 course tasting which came with Mozzarella…

Another Fitbit Question
I read through some of the previous posts and wanted to specifically ask...is a fitbit just a glorified step counter? From what I've read that is the data it is gathering. It wouldn't be registering other cardio, weight lifting or something like yoga and Pilates. It seems like many love it, I am just trying to figure out…

Confused - Food Question
Hey everyone. I have been a member on myfitnesspal since 2008 but haven't been logging or regularly reading for a couple years now. I get a spurt of motivation sign on and then become discouraged. When I first signed up it was really only to help me lose about 10 pounds and I was still healthy. Since then, I had a baby, a…

Fat burning workouts sans running?
I have bad lower back/hip pain I'm working with doctors to treat but I'm able to run/elliptical etc. What alternatives can I do to burn fat? Ive been so discouraged with being in pain for so long and knowing I can't run makes it worse. Don't have a pool. Any ideas thoughts or words of encouragement?

Engine 2
Has anyone read this book? I decided to read it after I watched Forks over Knives and am on day 5 of the 28 day challenge. I am feeling pretty good. I did a search for this topic and the most recent one was 5 months ago and I am curious if anyone followed through. I am not approaching this as a fad diet, but a real…

So Overwhelmed!
I began reading the Tosca Reno book "The Eat Clean Diet". I am so confused and overwhelmed with all of the new information of what foods to eat, what foods not to eat, and how to MAKE these foods. Healthy eating needs to taste good as well. I don't really know how to cook, let alone cook healthy. I am so frustrated because…

Ezekiel Bread
I hear a lot of great things about it, but then I read: "Those apposed to eating grains are often most concerned about the phytic acid in the grains which is a known mineral blocker. This acid is released when the grain sprouts, nullifying it's negative impact." What do ya'll think?

Fat
So, how does this FAT stuff work? Every thing I read say you should have so many grams of fat or sugar or protein and I don't know how to measure it out. This site tells us how many calories of fat we are consuming. Like...if I wanted to make a grilled cheese sandwhich. I could use wheat bread and healthier cheese, but…

Starting Over
About a month ago, I made a post in regards to my best friend being in the hospital. I wasn't able to workout or really eat right. Two weeks ago, she died. The last thing that has been on my mind, is taking care of myself. I KNOW that my cravings were driven by the emotional void I was feeling, but it didn't matter. I am…

A bit confused
Does anyone here read SELF? I like to read their articles and they have what is call the "SELF Challenge" which offers lots of tips. However I am confused about something. Here is part of an article: " Your weekly budget needs to be timmed by 3500 calories to lose a pound. Cut 500 per day or eat 250 less and burn 250 more"…

Blah
My friend is in the hospital dying. She is 22 years old =( We have been at the hosital all day everyday for the past few days. I don't really feel like eating and when I do...there are not really any healthy options around. I am doing my best, but...this sucks in all honesty.

Hungry Girl
What are your opinions on Hungry Girls Recipes? I have a hard time making healthy meals and need to have it planned out for me. I just wonder what ya'll think of her recipes and if they would be good for something like that.

Loss of Motivation
My grandfather is really sick and we are not really sure how much longer he is going to be around, but he is also suffering a lot so watching him be in so much pain is hard as well. I am depressed and have been crying a lot. Motivating myself to work out and eat right has been a real struggle. Have any of you overcome a…

Tofu
Okay, so I bought firm tofu last night for the first time. I haven't had tofu, nor have a made anything with tofu in it before and my husband is a picky as heck eater. Does anyone have some recipes that they love, with tofu, or know ways of making tofu? I don't want to mess this up! ...and how good for you is it....

Sweet Heaven
So...I am all about eating healthier and making sure I am getting what I need... but I don't want to give up sweets =( I understand not eating everyday and what not, but I love dessert and there are times I don't want to sacrifice. I need a kick in the butt! It's hard to not do something when you don't have a will to do it.

South Beach Diet
My docter suggested that I try the first phase of the south beach diet. I have never really been into diets like south beach etc. I was reading up on it, and it doesn't make sense to me really. Then again I am no expert. Don't we need carbs? Also, you start to incorporate carbs back into your diet after 2 weeks so wouldn't…

Acai Berry and Colon Cleanses?
Whenever I log in an advert for Acai Berry and Colon cleanse is always there. Blogs from women who have lost weight tell of how wonderful this is but I am not so sure. Does anyone have experience with any of it? When you read what they are supposed to do, it sounds great, but does it really work?
