DASH Diet (for High Blood Pressure) - your experience please
So recently I found out I went from having low blood pressure to having high blood pressure.... I really do not like being on medicine, but of course the Dr said lets give meds a try, so I did and ended up in the ER from a reaction to the meds. So I have been doing some research today to see if there is something other…

Very Bad Weekend... and then CRASH!
I was so proud of myself last week... even being stuck in the house because of the weather, I stayed on track. The one night I had the urge to hit the fridge in the middle of the night, I stopped myself.... and then Friday night I got really upset, and I haven't been able to stop since then! :sad:

Successes
I think that we need to have a thread here to tell our successes, little and big alike! Remember every tiny step of progress is a HUGE success :wink: I will start.... Last night I went to the gym much later than normal. I had already had dinner, and really enough calories for the day. When I got home I was doing fine, but…

Macro Help Please
I joined this group a while back and it has helped me tremendously. As of yesterday I am starting fresh yet again.... In trying to get past a hurdle of the same 4 pounds going up and down and back and forth for nearly 10 months I needed to re-evaluate. Going back in my diary I found that when I consistently ate at…

Face Comparison... I'm still shocked!
So over the weekend the children and I were very busy... Lot's of fun! Normally I am the one behind the camera and do not get pics of me, but my oldest took a picture of her and I together, and when I saw it I was surprised by how much of a difference there really is. The first picture (sorry it's not the best quality) is…

Bolthouse dressings....
This may or may not have been where this divine secret dressing was posted, but I just want to thank the MFPer out there that spoke up about it. I tried the Bolthouse Caesar dressing today for the first time, and was a little leary, but OMG... Simply amazing. And really didn't even need the full 2TBS serving it calls for.…

Woo-hoo... My first NSV in a while!
This morning on my way into the office I ran into a co-worker that I haven't seen in a couple of weeks, and she kept looking at me funny. Then she asked the magic question... Have you been losing more weight? Technically I haven't lost any in a while, but I have started hitting the gym and Zumba really hard over the last…

Another TDEE Question (sorry)
Ok, so here we go again... I know many of you will be geeshing me, but that's ok, I need the help so I'm gonna ask. I started using the TDEE-20% a couple months ago, found out about a gluten issue, had to rethink how I'm doing things, and am now getting seriously back into it. Well, when I first did my calculations I was…

How do you manage stress?
Ok, maybe this is a silly question... and I thought I had a handle on it all previously. So here is my story (well for my new 2013 start anyway) I was following WW, and it just was way to hard to figure out the new point system (to count that fruit/veggie or not count)... I came back to MFP, and did the 1200 calorie thing…

All you TDEE people out there....
I just want to thank you for keeping this information easily accessible and helping others like me. I'm on day 5 of following the TDEE method, and I have to say... I was so nervous at first, and thought how in the world will I be able to lose weight eating 1743 calories a day... my second thought was, how in the world am I…

TDEE Question
Ok, I already knew that I was not eating enough so I started increasing my calories a little at a time, but was still stalling. Basically I have been playing with the same 2-4 pounds for the last 4 months!!! Very discouraging. I finally used the TDEE calculator, and was blown away by just how many calories I am supposed to…
