food processor help?
Hi! I just tried an awesome recipe from the blog "oh she glows" for creamy avocado pasta. It was awesome..but my "creamy" was more chunky than creamy. Any tips on how to make a cream sauce in a food processor? Do i need a better processor? That spinning blade just doesn't seem to "cream" anything really. Help!

Coffee?
I'm a new coffee drinker. This is probably a stupid question for most. Does coffee really have no calories? I bought some Keurig K cups that are "Donut House Collection" Cinnamon Roll. There are no nutrition facts on the box. When I searched the data base MFP said 2 cal/cup. How can this be?

Weekend eating?
Does anyone else struggle with how much to eat on the weekends? During the week, I sit at a desk all day long..and don't burn many calories. I'm eating 1200 + my exercise calories. On the weekends I get out of my regular routine. I rarely sit down and rarely take time to eat lunch. I usually eat something right away in the…

Post Work-Out Tips?
I've recently tried running to burn stress and calories. I've been using a modified couch to 5 k program and have been progressing very, very slowly. The main difficulty holding me back is hip pain/muscle soreness. Recently, I've started a stretching routine in the morning and evening in hopes to loosen my muscles. I've…

Couch 2 5 K help!
I'm new to C25K...and I've got a question. Last week was my week 1. The plan says to not overdue. So I only worked out 4 times last week for 25 min total each time. Do you think it is ok to add in precor/walking etc on the off days? I'm super new to running and don't want to hurt myself. I need to repeat training week 1.…

The Holidays are hard..but we are strong!
It seems like the cards were stacked against me this holiday season. First I got a head cold/sore throat. I didn't work out for about two weeks because I couldn't breathe and didn't have the energy to do so. Then came Christmas. I've been very good about bringing my food to work and not eating holiday treats. I don't…

Need weekend advice
Good morning! My weight loss has currently stalled. Recently, I joined a gym, hired a trainer, and have been working out a lot more than i normally have. I'm 5/2" tall, 160 lbs and my current plan has me eating 1250 calories a day (if I don't exercise). During the week I call myself "sedentary". I sit in a chair at a desk…

Just want to see the ticker update!
Woo hoo! I'm 4 lbs away from meeting my first goal. Wow...never thought I would get this far. Now I'm feeling unstoppable. Can't believe I had surgery 4 weeks ago and it did not derail my weight loss efforts. I stopped counting during that week and then jumped right back in the next week and I'm right on track. Today I am…

Good morning!
I want to share with everyone that I am wearing my skinny pants to work today! I couldn't come close to putting these pants on when I started this journey on 4/6/09. Can't wait for the time when my "skinny pants" are too big! I am nervous for this weekend. I have to go "out" for dinner with family and not sure I'll be able…

Green Beans
Help! How do you figure out the calorie count for fresh green beans? I know the calorie count for 1 cup...but come on, green beans are long...you can't mash them into a cup to measure. I suppose you could cut them in inch size pieces but that would be a lot more work. Anybody have any idea how many calories in ounces of…

Change in the air!
I've been on bed rest with Cytomeglovirus for the past 7 weeks. My new diet went on hold because it was easier on my husband. He has had to do all the shopping, cooking, laundry, etc while I've been sick. I'm going to be back at work on Monday part time and plan to start logging my food again that day. I'm going to use…
