Newsfeed friends! Haaaaaalp
I need some motivating friends that are active on the newsfeed. I like to read through several times a day and see how everyone's day is going and struggles/successes. If you're one of those people, send me a friend request!

PB2 as a mix-in
I am making some overnight oats tomorrow and am thinking of throwing in a tbs of Pb2. I tried the stuff plain and it is disgusting. Think it would be masked enough in the oats or would it still have that weird taste?

Week 1 MFP results
Well, I'm 1 week down using MFP again, and I'm down 4.5 lbs! I hope this 2nd time around I can maintain and not jump back up to what I was before. You heard it here, folks, diet and exercise works B) Guess it's time to take some "before" pics so I can post my progress!

Dang, that's good!!!
I got these toasted coconut chips for a crunchy sweet snack. They're called "Dang" :) I got the caramel sea salt flavor. You can pop just a few and it's a tasty treat. They also give the weird sensation of cooling your mouth...not sure what that's about but I like it! The serving says 1 ounce is 160 calories, but I just…

I'm back!
Well, after a few years and 50+ lbs gained back, I am back to MFP. I lost 60 lbs last time I was here, so I know what to do, just have to do it! And this time I will keep it off!! We are having a biggest loser competition here at work...I WILL win :smiley: I need some new friends as most of mine are gone. Need some…

Multivitamins make my stomach hurt :(
Does anyone know why this is? I couldn't find anything definitive when I searched on Google, so I hoped that someone had some insight. Thanks in advance! Oh and I try to take it with a meal so it won't hurt the tum, but it still does. Doesn't matter if I take in morning or at night, it still hurts.

Pop-Tarts...wtf?!
I found a Pop-Tart at my Mom's house and wanted to eat it, so I did. As I entered it in to MFP, I was surprised to see what little devils these things actually are. ONE Pop-Tart (and who just eats one out of the 2 per package?) has 200 calories. Since I ate both, it was 400 calories, 14g fat, and like 40g of carbs or…

Interesting video on frozen meals
Smart Ones Sweet and Sour Chicken....350% more fat in it than the package specifies!!! WAHHHH http://health.msn.com/weight-loss/video.aspx?vid=bd2cd3d4-77ec-4b08-8ceb-c427772a0b8d&tab=today&from=en-us_msnhp>1=31036

Luna Protein Bars= yum!
I just opened up my new Luna Protein Bar in Cookie Dough, and I am super happy! They are delicious. 180 cals, 12g protein, 3g fiber. Yum-O!

If you like frozen dinners...
If you like frozen dinners occasionally, then you have to try Amy's Organic. I have had all sorts of frozen dinners, and this is BY FAR the best one I have ever had. The food tastes like food, like what it's actually supposed to taste like. It's not overly sweet or salty. I had a verde cheese tamale, and I could taste all…

Apple Pie Smoothie
Now, this is a far cry from a piece of pie, but it is a tasty smoothie that I came up with on the fly. It's a great way to get in your fruits and it tastes really good! The vanilla adds a buttery flavor, so definitely include that! Apple Pie Smoothie: 1/2 cup Greek yogurt 2 ice cubes 1 whole granny smith apple, cored and…

A major brag for MFP
I was reading the University of Kentucky Kernel (school newspaper) and they had a section about losing weight for spring break. It had a list of top iPhone apps for this, and lo and behold, there was MFP at the front of the list! Made me smile and I am excited that MFP is getting some publicity so more people can know…

Frankenfood!!
I posted this on another thread, but I'll say it again because I keep seeing it pop up... "Zero calorie" food, aka Walden Farms, seems so wrong to me. How can something have no calories? I feel like if I ate a piece of wood or a handful of dirt it would have calories. How can they make it no calories (technically less than…

Is it wrong?
Is it wrong to encourage someone at the gym? I was running around the track today and there was a girl, really obese, who was struggling to run around the track. She was panting and sweating, barely shuffling her feet. As I ran by each time, I thought, that was me! And I wanted to tell her, "get it girl!" But....I didn't.…

Opinions are like...well, you know :)
I was going to post this on another topic, but when I got done, it was locked. The gist of it was that there are lots of misconceptions floating around and there were various opinions listed on certain foods/approaches to weight loss. It got kind of heated, so it was locked. Anyway, I wanted to say this regardless: Dang I…

Grocery store...seriously?!?
This is a mini-rant before you go any further :) I went to the store today to get some frozen fruit I could make smoothies with. You know, you go to the frozen fruit and you expect to get FRUIT and nothing else. I turned the bag over and looked at the ingredient...sugar syrup added. Seriously? I'm trying to make a healthy…

June Starters: Dec. 28 weigh-in week
Hey ladies! No one had started the new thread, so I though I would do it. I have been bad, and I didn't even log Christmas Eve or Christmas. I am back at it though, as I hope all of you are. I still have new year's to get through, but that's a few days off. I don't have a scale, so I can't weigh in....I'm not sure that…

Muddy Buddies/Puppy Chow
So I went to Wal-Mart today, just browsing around the FRUIT, when I look down and see that Chex mix now makes Puppy Chow. You know, the chocolate peanut butter covered, powdered sugar dusted gems of deliciousness. Well, I had to get some :blushing: Darn you Chex!!! :)

Joy FIt Club
I was watching the Today Show this morning and they had a new member inducted into the Joy Fit Club. She lost 110 lbs. in 6 months. She looked amazing, and she was so happy. Yet I was so torn when I heard how she lost her weight...the cookie diet :indifferent: She said she has been eating 800-900 calories a day with…

Wheat berries?
What do wheat berries taste like? What can I do with them? I saw a recipe from Ina Garten using wheat berries and it looked amazing :love:

Calories burned...complex question
I have a complex exercise question. First off, I don't have a heart rate monitor, but I am getting one for Christmas. Until then, I am pondering something. I just went for a run and I take walk breaks in between when I get a side stitch or I feel one coming on. These walk breaks generally last 3-5 minutes. I went for a 40…

Hungry? Do this and everything will taste bad.
I actually didn't mean to do this...but I figured that it would be okay to use mouthwash a couple hours before I wanted to eat again. I was wrong. This stuff isn't like regular rinse...it is like rinse on steroids! The "minty" taste lasts a long time and ruins all food taste. I tried to eat different things to make the…

Chicken with black beans and other tasty light recipes
Just found this excellent website while on Tastespotting! The recipe I chose has chicken, black beans, onions, bell pepper, cumin, garlic, and "taco toppings." I halved this recipe, increased some of the spices (like a little more cumin), and used only 1 tsp oil. Oh and I grilled the chicken before I put it in the recipe!…

Which jam or preserves should I buy?
I'm on the market for a new jam or fruit preserve. I have Smucker's strawberry jelly now and it's way sweet and too gelatinous for my taste. I don't want to go sugar free, and I don't particularly like huge chunks of fruit in my spread. However, I am open to preserves if they are amazing :heart: hehe I am kind of picky. My…

Just upped my calories
I decided to up my calories from lose 2 lbs. a week to 1 lb. a week, because that is what I am doing anyway. What to do with all these extra calories??? I have been at 1200 since June 1st, so I'm pretty excited to have almost 1400 now. Wahoo!!!!!!!!! :bigsmile: :glasses: Anyone had success with doing this? I'm hoping it…

Fast food sucks
Every time I go eat fast food, I have cleared a big chunk of room from my daily allowance, and I expect something magically delicious when I dedicate that many cals to something. Today after I ate my 700 calorie fast food meal, I wasn't satisfied. I'm still hungry, and it didn't taste mind-blowing like I thought it would.…

Payday mix nooooooo
So I go to visit my Memaw this weekend because I haven't seen her in about a month. When I get there, she has a bag of peanuts and candy corn mix (aka payday mix) for me, all ready to go. How can I resist? It's sooooo ggggoooooddddddd :bigsmile: Maybe I'll take it to class and put some of this "burden" off on them! :laugh:…
