Queen St. GF bread
I realize this group isn't all that active, but I thought I'd try to pose this question anyway: Do any of you eat gluten free? If so, have you tried Queen St. Bakery bread? I bought a loaf of their white bean bread yesterday after having not bought it in a while. I recall it always being around 110 calories for 2 slices.…

Toronto GF people!
I posted this question in the Toronto group too, but I thought I'd post it here since it relates to gluten free. Apologies for cross posting! Does anyone here from Toronto (or surrounding area) eat Queen St. GF bread? I bought a loaf of their white bean bread yesterday at my local health food store and noticed that the…

Protein or other snack ideas??
I'm soliciting ideas for a small protein snack in the afternoons. Usually I have a piece of fruit or a green veggie juice in the afternoon to tide me over until dinner and give me an added boost of energy around that 4pm slump. However, I just started a new job, and I'm finding that my fruit or green juice doesn't really…

Exercising with glasses...
Hi Everyone, This might be a really dumb question, but for those of you who wear glasses and exercise regularly, how do you do it? Do you run with your glasses on? Weight lift with them on? I'm an avid contact lens wearer, but after contracting an eye infection (gross, I know!), I now need to refrain from wearing my…

Stevia
Apologies in advance if this has already been discussed. What is the consensus regarding stevia? I know it's derived from the stevia plant, yet it's obviously processed when bought in the store. The reason I am asking is because there is a spin instructor at my gym who touts clean eating constantly. She has a blog with…

Exercising post flu
Hi Everyone, I'm wondering if anyone has tips on how to get back into exercising after an illness. My usual workout regime consists of a quick 30 minute cardio workout five days a week (usually elliptical or running with intervals on the treadmill), three spin classes a week, two weight lifting group classes (power…

Passover?
For those of you celebrating Passover, what do your snacks look like? I usually rely on hummus and cut up veggies for my afternoon snack, but it's kitniyot. In the morning I usually have fruit and almonds, so I don't want to eat more nuts in the afternoon. What does everyone else eat?

How long did it take...
The other day, I was running on the treadmill at my gym. There are mirrors on all of the walls, so I can see myself and others from behind in the mirror in front of me. Ever since I started running, I've had a tendency to look at those in the mirrors and see how they look from behind and *wish* that one day I could like…

Things people say...
So...this is more of a rant than anything else... Last night at dinner, one of my relatives commented on my weight loss. I've lost 37 pounds since May, which doesn't sound like a ton, but I am 4'11 so it's quite noticeable if you haven't seen me lately. In any case, my dad's wife then chimed in and said "oh, to be young…

Greek yogurt in Canada
For the past two months I was eating Liberte brand greek yogurt with chia seeds and fruit mixed in. While I didn't love the taste, I found that adding fruit to it made the sourness of the yogurt more edible. However, I just spent the past 2 weeks in New York where I discovered Fage greek yogurt and Trader Joe's greek…

2 small NSV's...
So these are really small, but I just feel the need to share them... hope no one will mind! 1) I found my collar bone! It's not visible (yet!) but I can feel it! For some reason I've become obsessed with that... 2) Yesterday I pulled out a skirt from my closet that I bought back in April when I was at my heaviest (even…

multivitamines
I'm just wondering how many of you take a multivitamin. What time of the day do you take it? I've been taking a vegan-friendly multivitamin since March, but it started making me nauseous when I changed my eating habits in May. It's a two-dose one, but I only take one pill per day. I switched back to my old one (which was…

Hi everyone!
Hi MFP community! I am a 29 year old grad student in Canada. I joined MFP over a year ago but only began logging and actually using the site last week after losing about 10 pounds in the span of two months by simply changing my eating habits. I have about 50 more pounds to go (or at least 40!), so I decided it was time for…
