Inspire each other with healthy food pics
http://www.facebook.com/GoAheadMakeMyPlate I am highly suggestible and tend to crave junky food the more I see it. I can't stop the advertisements but I can combat it with pictures of healthy, pretty, wholesome food. I just started a face book page called Go ahead, make my plate so I (and others) have a place to go and see…

Chai granola (experimenting with low cal granola)
Am trying to make a no oil, lower calorie granola. Found some cute little packages of Lavish and Mom's Best instant oatmeal on sale and got inspired to try a nut free granola (made one with nuts last weekend that came out decent but calorie count was much higher, bou). I made a granola with the chai package and some no…

When can you trust yourself again
I lost about 50 lbs a few years ago by learning to eat less, eat better, move more, etc...I was able to maintain that loss. But was still 206 lbs for years. Couldn't get that to budge. Started MFP in Jan 2012, and have lost 45 lbs so far. Am not done yet (maybe 15 more lbs?) but am suddenly struggling. I know it's not…

If everyday were like today I would GAIN weight?
Right now I weigh 161.2 (am 5'7''). I've been on MFP since Jan and lost 45 lbs so far. Today I went out to eat for the first time and ate like 600+ calories over the 1200 I am set at. I normally eat back all my exercise calories and don't usually eat only 1200 a day, but very rarely go over that much. But I told myself one…

I never eat, out so could use some help
Sorry, comma in the wrong place, duh! Can't figure out how to edit it. I have to work Saturday, but then am going for lunch/dinner at around 3:30. I just put my calories in for what I'd like to eat at the restaurant (grilled fish tacos with avocado, some rice and beans, some warm tortilla chips) and it's sucking up most of…

ditch too big clothes?
I recently lost 22 lbs (since Jan 1) with the help of you all and MFP. I'm far from my goal weight, but I noticed that my jeans don't really fit anymore and some of my tops are way too big and bulky. I brought some stuff down to the basement, but now I'm thinking why not just donate it all, right? Wouldn't that somehow be…

What real women look like
I stumbled upon this website and found it super helpful. I don't know about you, but I don't have a good sense of what I actually look like after losing 30lbs, or what I might look like when I lose 20 more. It's refreshing to see all the different shapes and sizes of all these beautiful women! I also think it would be fun…

Scrambled Egg and Pepperoni Bake
Last night before bed I was craving pepperoni with eggs somehow for the morning. Looked up simple recipes and found one that I tweaked a little. I used 1/2 cup shredded part skim moz, half cup cheddar jack, and 15 slices of Hormel pepperoni diced. Sprinkle cheese and pepperoni in bottom of square baking dish. I think mine…
