Do anti depressants slow down your metabolism?
I have been put on Effexor and am paranoid that it is making me gain weight. Recently I have seen a 2 kilogram gain over a course of a month. It scares me. I hear mixed reviews from people that Effexor makes you put on weight but others say they lost weight, decreased appetite, increased appetite! Arghhh!! I just want to…

Suggestions on sauces that are low in sodium and cals?
Hey guys! So I like to have chicken/fish + veggies. I used to add morrocan seasoning to my chicken until I realised how high in sodium it was! so depressing because I loved the flavour :( Any suggestions on sauces or spice I can add to my meals? Having plain chicken with veggies is just a bit bland for me.

Having potato at lunch?
So I've realised that I need a decent amount of carbs at lunch time to keep me fueled through out the day and give me some much needed energy for the gym after work! My question is.... Would I be better off having say.... mashed potato instead of bread? I am having a lot of ham and salad sandwiches at lunch time…

Any suggestions on what to do with sugar free jelly crystals
To the americans out there - when I say jelly, I don't mean the kind that you spread on your bread. I mean the wobbly desert... but I suppose 'crystals' give it away ^_^ So I have been wondering if there are any suggestions out there on what I can add or do with the jelly? I know adding fruit is a given! Any other ideas?

Looking lanky or athletic.
So I've lost the weight I wanted to lose. Personally I do not see this 'too thin' girl that other people are seeing. If anything... I see that I could lose a little more pudge on the stomach and shed a little bit off the thighs. I don't want to look lanky and scrawny. I want to look toned and athletic. Perhaps I need to…

Weighing more on your period? (Girl's topic!)
Hey ladies! So I'm 3 days in to my cycle and decided to jump on the scales this morning (which apparently is not advisable!) It read 62.6kgs which is the lightest I have ever been. Are you meant to weigh more on your period? Because if so, I am really excited! :D If it's the other way around then I'm going to be a little…

Confused! Too skinny? Slim? Room for improvement?
Okay so I have lost about 10 kilos in total since calorie counting with MFP. WOO! What is really frustrating me at the moment are the mixed opinions I am getting from people. Some people are saying that I look too skinny (Most of these people are coworkers) and should put weight on. Some others are saying that I am looking…

20lbs lost (pics!)
Okay so I know that 20lbs isn't that bigger deal... not compared to these amazing stories of 50+ I am not aiming on really losing much else. I am pretty proud of how far I've come. I have lost 23lbs however this 'improved' photo is my body around the 20lb loss :) I am starting to see some abs. My focus right now is to…

5'11 models!?
Hi! So I know I probably shouldn't look up to models for their weight and what not and compare myself with them... but I wouldn't mind knowing the measurements and weight of a model that is the same height as me. I am 5'11. Would be a nice confident booster if my body was somewhat close to someone famous :) I'd love to do…

The truth about laxatives?
So I started drinking this triple leaf brand slim tea and wondered why I was racing to the toilet and suffering from terrible cramps! I just discovered recently that they have potent laxatives in them! I don't intend on drinking the tea anymore since discovering this... however it had me wondering... are laxatives able to…

Can't find nutrional information for this ginger tea!
Hi there, So I drink a cup or two of Healtheries Lemon & Ginger Tea with an Apple Twist every day. In MFP it claims to have 0 calories. Each cup of green tea that I have is counted as 1 calorie. I am thinking that because it has an added 'apple twist' flavour to it, that it MUST have some calories in it... Chamomile is 5!…

Low carb, high fibre snacks?
Hey guys So I'm pondering what to do for my mid afternoon snack today. It needs to be low in carbs and maybe high in fibre? to keep me full? I probably consume too much protein through out the day. Any suggestions? I'm at work so looking for something nice and easy to purchase from a supermarket.

Optifast shakes?
So I have these optifast shakes sitting in my pantry. They have been there for a while now. I've been wondering to myself.... Should I begin having one as my lunch? Does anyone know if these are any good? Do they satisfy? I've noticed they have a lot of carbs. Most importantly... will it be okay if I only have it as lunch?…

Suggestions for lunch at work?
So I've been doing pretty much the same lunch every day for the last two weeks which is - Spinach Tuna in springwater '3 Beans & Corn' Balsamic Dressing This totals to about 214 calories which I find amaze balls. It's not hugely filling but it keeps me satisfied. It is also very easy to prepare - open this, open that, grab…

Any Australians using MFP looking for more MFP friends? ^_^
Hi I'm Lucy. I'm hoping to find some more MFP friends from Australia as my status updates rarely generate a response due to most of my friends being from America! (Well at least... I think that is the reason. My status updates just could be boring/annoying - I hope not!) Please add me :) It would be even better if you were…
