What are your "weird" goals?
You know the ones I'm talking about, not the "I want to look great at my cousin's wedding" or "I want that guy who dumped me to realize what he lost out on when he sees me at the reunion", I mean the marks of weight loss that people don't really think of or results from being healthy that just seem WAY out there! Here's…

Starting again and SO HUNGRY!
I just started back with MFP. I lost 50 lbs using it a few years ago, but I stopped and then slowly gained the weight back. I'm trying to get back in the habit of eating healthy and logging calories, but I'm also trying to remember what I would eat that kept me full without going over my daily calories. Do you have any…

If you like fajitas and are looking for a vegan option...
I cooked for some vegan friends the other night and I needed something to satisfy me and my fiance who are omnivores. I found this black bean fajita recipe and it's AWESOME! My big problem with vegan food is I'm always hungry afterwards since I'm used to how heavy meat is, but I didn't feel deprived at all with this and it…

Learning to cook. Please help!
I've started and stopped MFP so many times in hopes of achieving my initial success with the site of losing 50 lbs in about a year (!). Now that I've moved out of my father's house and in with my fiance who wants to get back to the Adonis figure he had when we met, I think things'll be a bit easier. I have the most control…

I just discovered a great ice cream alternative!
I don't know why it didn't occur to me before, but throwing a chocolate pudding in the freezer is just like eating a pudding pop! I did this with chocolate and vanilla pudding the other day and it was great! It really took care of the ice cream craving and it comes portioned out so I wasn't tempted to eat more than one 110…

I'm half way to my goal weight!
I started this at 210 lbs back in October and now I'm down to 184.4! That's half way to my goal of 160. I've had some setbacks along the way, but I think I'm doing well, especially because of my job. I'm a theatre tech and people are always bringing food the the green room, especially during the holidays. I always gain…

Does anyone else mix up the signals for being hungry and bei
It seems like I have a problem with this all the time. I know I should be sated because of the amount I eat, but I still feel like I'm hungry. It just seems like those feelings are so similar to me.

Any Nerdfighters out there?
Just kind of curious and I'd love to make some Nerdfighter friends on here! Plus, if you haven't played Sheen or Gaddafi yet, you need to! John uploaded it today. : ) DFTBA

Knit to Fit
Does anyone else knit or crochet in order to keep their mind off of their cravings? Right now I'm knitting a scarf to keep from going for the cheese poofs in the cupboard!

My Reintroduction.
I left MFP 6 months ago. I had a lot of family issues going on and I decided that my mental health was more important than my physical health at the time. That was the right decision, but several months after I left and my thoughts returned to weight loss I was hesitant to join back up. After gaining back what I had lost I…

Help! My new jeans are too big!!
I needed new jeans so I bought some and a week later they're too big already! As great as this is, I hate that I spent that money for what seems like nothing. They're supposed to be line dried. Do you guys think if I throw them in the dryer they'll shrink and I can wear them longer?

Healthy and authentic Mexican recipies?
I'm a HUGE fan of mexican food, the flavor is amazing and that it's in my blood certainly helps! Unfortunately I don't have a lot of experience in cooking it without large amounts of cheese, sour cream or pan-frying. Does anyone have any authentic Mexican recipies that I can try my hand at? Even healthier versions of the…

THE OSCARS!!! Your Best Picture Pick?
I've been pretty busy this year and haven't gotten to the movies much, so I've only seen three of the best picture noms: The Social Network, Black Swan and Toy Story 3. As great as all those are (Love Aaron Sorkin and Natalie Portman), I have to say I'm voiting for Toy Story 3. I left the theatre thinking how brilliant it…

Fiber and the gurggles (maybe TMI)
I'm a college student, which means early classes and a pretty limited budget. Recently, I started eating those fiber bars for breakfast instead of bagels because I figured it would have way fewer calories, keep me fuller longer and be cheaper than running to Panera every morning. Here's where the problem comes in... I've…

That banner ad is taunting me
So for the past few days there has been an ad for Living Social above my MFP homepage. It has a picture of an extremely delicious looking chocolate cupcake with bright blue icing and brown sprinkles. I want to reach through my computer screen and shove it in my mouth before anyone notices me doing it. This is like a form…

Krystal Square Off 2009
I'm watching the live stream of it right now. http://krystalsquareoff.com/blog/kso-live-stream/ It's strangely compelling. Really glad I don't have a car right now. I want Krystals so bad I can practically smell them.

Another calorie intake question.
I know that if you eat too few calories your body will go into starvation mode and you won't lose weight. I'm guessing that the number of calories to accomplish this is different for everyone, but MFP has set the average at 1200. But what if you exersize during the day and eat over 1200 calories, but you are still under…

Pride may be a deadly sin...
But so are sloth and gluttony. I've lost 10lbs in two months and 34lbs total, I want to shout it from the rooftops!:happy:

I feel like such a slacker.
I started coming down with something over the weekend; I knew it because I felt that familiar fatigue setting in. I was able to hold it off for a little while, but by Tuesday I was taking naps instead of my normal hour run. As a result I only went running twice this week instead of the 4 times I should have been able to. I…

Favorite songs to run to.
I just started jogging and I'm really suprised with how much I actually enjoy it as long as I've got a good playlist! Anyway, I was wondering what everybody else likes to run to. My favorite is "Green Light" by John Legend, it really gets my energy up when I start to get tired.
