NEED IDEAS 4 A HEALTHY PACKED LUNCH
Hubby has lost his first 5 pounds so my life just became much easier as he's now on the eating healthier bandwagon with me. My greatest challenge is his lunch the days he works as it HAS TO BE something shelf stable or taste decent cold or room temperature as he has no way of heating anything when he's out on location. He…

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR HELPS CONQUER CARB CRAVINGS
I take a teaspoonful immediately before or after every meal or snack. I can't say it is a fat burner, but it is full of antioxidants and has KILLED my cravings for sweets. That in itself is reason enough for me to keep taking it. IF you choose to take vinegar, be sure to do it immediately before or after eating to prevent…

What Can I pack for a Roadtrip that's Clean AND easy?
I've been eating clean since January. The end of next week I am leaving on a 3 week long road trip. Due to my passengers health, we won't be driving more than 6 hours on any given day, so finding time to walk or hit the hotel gym shouldn't be too hard. They are both diabetic, but aren't the least discriminate about what…

EMOTIONAL EATER STARTING OVER (Again!)
"When you're happy, your food of choice could be steak or pizza, when you're sad it could be ice cream or cookies, and when you're bored it could be potato chips. Food does more than fill our stomachs -- it also satisfies our feelings, and when you quench those feelings with comfort food when your stomach isn't growling,…

I am an Emotional Eater
I am an emotional eater who lost 45 pounds in 18 months using MFP, then put 15 of it back on. I KNOW what to do to lose weight but lately I keep sabotaging myself with high carb foods and justifying it with, "I'll do better tomorrow." I used to be a part of another motivational support thread but to be quite honest am…

Stability Ball Workout
I recently bought myself a stability ball. I can't see that these workouts are making any difference over the strength training and cardio I have already been doing. :ohwell: Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Ideas?

Is it normal to GAIN weight when you start eating healthy?
I've been counting calories and exercising her at MFP since Mid-February. I have stopped eating sweets, carbonated beverages and fried foods and have finally lost enough weight that my husband has decided maybe this eating healthy thing is working, so he's been trying to do better. Before he had a major root beer, ice…

HOW DO I GET RID OF FLABBY "OLD WOMAN" ARMS?
I am 49 years old. Just got back from a week at the beach and couldn't help but notice I have my mother's arms! I live in a podunk holler town where there is no gym so I need ideas on how I can firm up my arms at home so they don't jiggle forever every time I wave. I'm walking on my treadmill, but doubt that has much…

Need some ideas
Hubby isn't exercising or counting calories with me, but will eat the same foods as me. He's getting bored with plain grilled chicken breast and pork chops. (I only fix red meat once a week and we don't eat much fish.) Anybody have a great low cal recipe a non-dieting husband will eat to share?

Just getting started back on the journey to a healthier me after two years of just not caring what I look like. Guess I was depressed and didn't have enough sense to realize it. I was underweight growing up and into my second pregnancy. My weight has steadily grown since I hit 35 until now at the age of 49 I find myself…
