Hippie Lady Looking for some new additions!!!
Hi everyone!! I have been here way too long to only have lost the few pounds that I have. Now it's starting to affect my health, so I have to get serious about this, and take care of me! I am 38, a pescatarian (only eat fish/seafood and bacon sometimes :p ), and love that I live in Oregon, where there are tons of hiking…

Diabetic Medicine
Hey everybody. So, bad report from the doc last week. My A1C came back at 7.6 - it was at 6.7 at my last check, so the doctor put me on Metformin. It made me feel awful so I quit taking it. I told him that it made me feel bad, so now he has put me on 2 different kinds of medicine. I take one in the morning and 1 at night.…

Back again.......
Hi! :D I've been off and on this site since 2012..kind of sad to say since I've lost and gained and lost and gained 30 lbs or so. Anywho, my current friends that haven't left me are amazing, but I'm looking to add a few new faces! I try my best to be as supportive as possible!! The only way this site DOES work for me is to…

Hippies need friends, too!!!
Hey everybody!!! Been here for quite awhile but up and down on the scale and with my eating habits. I have some really awesome friends already but am looking to build my support system!! I'm a hippie type chick (no, I'm not a vegetarian or anything like that) but well, my profile explains it best: I reject established…

How do YOU get rid of "that 2:30pm feeling"???
I'm thinking that the healthier an individual is, the less tired you feel...but I'm not there yet. I have a weak moment every afternoon between 2:30 and 3:30 where I crave junk and want to take a nap!! What do you all do to fight that????

Juicing calories?
Anybody know how you would find the calorie count if I were to juice my fruits and veggies?? How could I log that? (I read that because there is no pulp, the fiber is lacking....)

Anybody need a hippie friend???
I have been on here off and on since January of this year. *kitten* happens and I lose track of my goals and motivation. I have a few awesome friends that have stuck by my side since day 1. Just looking to add a few more. I keep an open diary for my friends and always give positive feedback. I'm very open minded although I…

Working out while caring for loved ones...
Anyone have any ideas on how to walk or exercise while caring for my Mother?? She has dementia so I can't leave her by herself anywhere. I have 30 day shred on DVD but she does not have a DVD player at her home. Maybe I could bring mine over, but the space is still limited near her television.

Trying not to throw a pity party!!
Just need to vent instead....I don't know what is wrong with me!!! I quit smoking last October and started working out and eating right. I found and joined MFP in January (I think!) and fell in love with it!! Almost obsessively! I lost 15 lbs and felt great!! THEN, I found out my Mother had breast cancer. She lived a…

Need Sugar!!!!!!!
Hey MFP peoples! Little help please? I love my coffee in the morning-can't go without! But I know that I am spending 105-130 calories every morning just on my coffee alone! I do not put actual sugar, but use sugary creamers (like CoffeeMate Italian Sweet Cream and Creme Brulee). At first I refused to give these up! Now…

Tummy Pain!
Help! I have been changing my diet and eating more fresh fruits and veggies. My energy level is out the roof and I have lost a total of 12 lbs so far! Buuuuuuuuuut, every afternoon (especially after lunch) my stomach starts hurting...like I have gas. There's pressure and a little nausea but I'm not like dying on the floor.…

Two more questions about this weight lifting thing please..
I posted this question on another post earlier but I didn't get a response. I felt kinda rude questioning on someone else's topic anyhow... I have only been working out about 4 months and never before in my life! I really enjoy the cardio and had some weight lifting (machine weights) sessions with a personal trainer…

Quick add calories
Maybe it's a silly question but what exactly do people need quick add calories for??? I really dunno how many calories I have eaten until I check the database.

What the heck does that mean???
Ok so I am new here...what does 'bump' mean when I see it on the message boards???:embarassed:

So much water!
Hey everybody! I am new here and serious about changing my lifestyle habits and such. The past week and a half I have been drinking between 4 and 6 cups of water a day (more on the days that I exercise heavily). Now, maybe this is TMI, but I CONSTANTLY am running to the bathroom!! (just #1) I can understand that you bring…

Brand new!
Hi everybody! This seems like a pretty cool site. It has surprised me so far how my calories are coming together. I quit smoking November of last year and changed to a desk job at the same time. I started working out at the YMCA the same month but I have gained 2 lbs since! I have never been thin and now that I am getting…
