Carbs are BAD!!!
Catchy title got ya, huh? (I am not entirely sure this is the correct category, but yeah..HELP!) I have this friend who wants to eat healthy, wants to do sports with me and so on. Cool, eh? However, she usually puts down what I eat. Yesterday I invited her for dinner, made a veggie puree with GASP potatoes and she said…

Not new, but seeking new friends!
So basically, I don't care WHO you are, just that you can be motivational. Basically, check up on me as I will check up on you. Like are awesome, they take two seconds, they help. The only exception I make to this are extremely low-cal people. I regularly delete people who eat under 800 cals for several weeks. I don't need…

Need savory snacks that keep well!!!
So, I need ideas for little savory snacks. I know this is weird, but I am making an advent calendar for my sister, so I'd like something that won't go bad for four weeks or so. Any ideas? prepackaged is fine, as long as I can find it in Germany.

Lemonade Recipes
So, it's finally getting warm here. YAY! For me that's lemonade time. Please share your recipes! My favorite: lemon juice, dried mint leaves, 2 packs of stevia, water. Let steep over night and you'll have a whole pitcher for under 10 cals :D

Pre-loggers help me out?
So, I usually log all my food after I ate it. And usually Wednesday is my no-logging day because I am stuck at uni all day. I am trying to pre-log everything to see if it might work for me. So for tomorrow I have logged everything until 7 pm. I'll be home at that time and will be having a lemonade and some chips or cheese…

Protein Bars help, please!
So...I tried a protein bar for the first time today since I usually never hit my protein goal. I am not too fond of the taste, but it seems to keep me full for a while. Anyway...I have a question for those that DO use them (and preferably those from Germany): Which protein bar do you buy and how much are they where you…

Third time's the charm?
First time I was introduced to MFP was two summers ago. I lost quite a lot and liked it. Second time around I lost just a little and then exams happened. And now I am starting all over again for the third time and am looking for friends. So, I am 26 years old, live ind Germany, and graduated from uni last year. I just…

Puppy eyes don't work on me
So...puppy eyes never worked on me. Even my fifth graders can look at me in all their adorableness and it does nothing. And then came Benedict Cumberbatch. I swear that man just steals my heart every time. Which puppy eyes work best on you?

How do you figure out nutrition facts for handmade food?
My parents gave me a couple pieces of home made meat items (pork ham, beef ham, salami). A friend of the family rears the animals, kills them, cuts the meat, and smokes the ham all by himself. How do I figure out the nutrition facts? For now I searched the database and out in a deluxe version of what they have. But I think…

How do you even flirt?
So, I have had body issues since forever. It's only been a few years since I have learned to love myself like I am. And sometimes, I am still clinging to that low self esteem. I have never been on a real date, I can talk to guys just fine. I freeze up when I talk to a guy I like. Right now there is this friend of a friend.…

How does one go about logging a potluck?
I went to this art thing today and we had a potluck. How do I even begin to log that? I don't know how many grams each item had. Or how many calories...Any idea?

It's all a matter of perspective... (with pics, duh)
So, I started using MFP over two years ago (I tihnk). About five months ago I stopped, due to exams. I only recently got back on track, but I didn't gain as much as I thought. Even better? My shape stayed similar to when I almost reached my goal weight, not as blegh as it used to be. Now, for reference, this was me about…

Seeking a cake recipe that doesn't rise
So, usually we want out cakes to rise, but I like my sticky and delicious with no puffiness. Also, my usual recipes for cake cannot be done in my new microwave mini cake maker. Hence the call for cake recipes that do not rise. I don't mind calories, I even HAVE to substitute stuff because we cannot get most of those fancy…

Really? Do I really need to count my eggs raw?
So...I made eggs for breakfast, scrambled. Out of fun I looked at the calories of a raw egg vs. a scrambled egg form the database. Both are MFP's own settings and both are large eggs. Scrambled eggs were 101 cals for one egg while raw eggs were 74 cals. Do eggs really "gain" 30 calories when they are being scrambled? I…

Non-fridge office food
So, I got more hours at work (YAY!) Which means that on three days of the week I'll be at work for dinner time (anytime between 6 and 8 pm for me). Why dinner items can I bring that I can put in my personal cupboard at work? I don't want to put it in the fridge because it looks "ick" and it's too crowded. We share a…

I'd like some new freinds to add to mine :)
So, I have been a member of MFP for a long-ish time and so far I have lost 13kg/28lbs. I am looking for some new friends to add, but I am a bit picky. Please do not be alarmed about this. It's worth the read: 1) Have your diary open to friends. (I'd like to see what you eat to see what new things I can try. Furthermore,…

My story so far (pics and succcess included)
Hey there! I started my journey 35 pounds/ 16 kilograms ago. I still have another 15-20 pounds (around 10kg) to lose. So, why am I posting today? Because my motivator jeans (the lime green one in the last pic) which I bought when it was still too tight, is loose on me. I actually have about a hande-wide space in there.…

How can I make these savory cakes healthier?
Okay, I had an idea for a small cake (I needed an excuse to use my new cake form). The smallish cakes (about 15-20g or two bites) come to 42 calories (Douglas Adams would be proud) How can I make it healthier so I can have more of them? I do not want to substitute my cheese, but if you have a better alternative for the…

Which dress should be my motivation?
So, I am going to the opera in mid-March (Tristan & Isolde). I am absolutely getting a new dress for the occasion which will also serve as my motivation until then :) Question is: Which one? When thinking about this note: I have a booty I like and a tattoo on my right upper arm. It needs to be classy and sexy.
