Meal delivery plans
I'm curious about all these meal delivery plans that have started popping up all over the place. Has anyone tried any and do you have a favorite? I gave Hellofresh a try and while it was ok, the recipes were quick and easy and pretty good, I wasn't terribly enthused. That being said, I've signed up for Daily Harvest, the…

Habitual offender
Hi everyone! I'm 31 years old and I live in Vermont. In the last four years I lost almost 40 pounds only to suddenly gain back about 20. So I'm back at it again, working to lose some of this excess baggage. I'm pretty active, I hike several times a week and am trying to introduce group fitness classes into my routine. I'm…

Not getting enough vegetable proteins
I'm currently trying to eat a more protein rich diet (40% protein, 35% carbs, 25% fat) and find that I really struggle to even come close to meeting my daily goal. Here's the catch - I'm primarily a vegetarian although I do try to eat fish several times a week and I don't really eat soy and tend to stay away from dairy. I…

Long time lurker!
I've been using MFP since 2007 but haven't actually ever really used the community features (except for a few random posts & there), so here I am! I've just recently ended a four year relationship and moved back to my home state of NY and am giving myself the time and attention I need to be better. Feel free to add me, I'd…
