Going Gluten Free and Need Some GF Pals!!!
Hey, everyone...I'm new to this group, and REALLY new to going gluten free! :blushing: I've decided to give being GF a try because I've been having issues with feeling generally cruddy after I eat for the last few months now. I've toyed with the idea of going GF for a while, and finally decided to pull the trigger...My…

Protein Powder/Shakes...what type of powder do YOU use???
I have never, ever used protein powder ever in my life, but since I'm now tracking and trying to better acheive my "macro-nutrient" goals, I notice that I've been SERIOUSLY lacking in the protein department :sad: I want to try a good tasting, not-horribly-expensive (under $1 per serving) protein powder...I've done a teeny…

Anyone want to give me some feedback?
So, I posted this on my newsfeed, but thought I'd stick it here, just to see if I can get some feedback from my wonderful EM2WL family...:bigsmile: "Was actually really surprised this morning when I stepped on the scale for my weekly weigh-in after a REALLY high sodium day on top of TOM coming for a visit yesterday. I…

Don't want to sound conceited but...
I really need some new friends. Not to sound mean, but a lot of the MFP friends I have I found before I was enlightened by the EM2WL group... Thought I'd browse though some of their diaries tonight out of sheer curiosity, and found that a bunch of them regularly net less than 1000 cals a day! EEK! I don't want to be mean…

Looking for some more like minded friends!
Hi, everyone! I've been a part of MFP for about 3 months or so, and am looking for some more like-minded friends! Short backstory...I'm a mom of 2 young children, and after having my first, I got down to below my pre-pregnancy weight--it felt great! After my second, I dropped almost all of the pregnancy weight I had gained…

Simple Question...followed by a not-as-simple question!
So I've been reading a ton on here about not eating below my BMR AT ANY COST!!! I've gone to 4 or 5 different websites and they all tell me my BMR is about 1525 cals. I have MFP set for a 1lb a week weight loss, and it's putting me at about 1350 net cals a day? So, my question is...Is there a way that I can manually set my…

This might be a dumb question, but...
What are some other things I could do (besides just straight lifting weights) that might be considered "strength training"? I'm mostly a cardio person at this point, but should probably start thinking about doing more "strength training" since I'm about half way to my goal weight, and don't want to be flabby!!! Are things…
