Net Carb Hack for MFP
Recently I've joined a LCHF challenge group on Facebook and someone posted a link with a tutorial to get MFP to display net carbs on your food diary. It only works on a computer and not on the app, though. Here's the link to the tutorial: travelinglowcarb.com/4448/myfitnesspal-hack/ If you're doing LCHF, feel free to add…

Lexapro and Weight Changes?
I've been on MFP for a few years now and have consistently logged in for over 800 days. I exercise regularly (running, fitness classes) and participate in a lot of races (at least 1 per month). This week my doctor prescribed me Lexapro for general anxiety as I have had an abnormal amount of stress over the last year due to…

Anyone watch Sons of Anarchy?
***If you haven't watched the season finale, I would advise you not to continue reading!*** My husband and I have watched this show obsessively since the beginning. What are your thoughts on last night's episode? I'm wondering who turned Tara in. I think Gemma would make the obvious choice. What do you think?

Gestational Diabetes (or just Diabetes)
This past week I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and am having to check my blood sugar 4 times a day. I'm having difficulty finding some meal ideas. Anyone dealing with diabetes that has some input and meal ideas? Thanks!

Deli Meat
I've been told to stay away from deli meat while pregnant due to fear of listeria, but I was thinking about packing my own lunches for work and was considering deli sandwiches (like turkey). If I heat the meat before I put the sandwich together, then eat it much later (after cooled), would you still worry about listeria?…

Calorie Goal While Pregnant
What do you have your calorie goal set to while you are pregnant? I asked my doctor what I should eat and she didn't really give me a clear answer about calorie counts. I heard from a friend that you should eat 200-400 more calories than normal while pregnant. I currently have mine set to lose 1/2 lb per week. What about…

Guys like heavier girls?
I was talking to my husband and one of his best friends (who is single) about weight loss the other week and (to make a long story short), they both mentioned that they would rather be with a girl who was a little heavier rather than a skinny-mini. But of course I thought that MY idea of "heavy" and THEIR idea of "heavy"…

Progress: 14 lbs down (in pics)
I was creeping on the message boards for motivation and saw where someone posted "If you aren't seeing your numbers go down, don't get discouraged. Compare your before photos with where you are now and it is likely you have lost inches." So that's what I did. GREY SHIRT PHOTOS: Taken 11/22/2010 (the day I started taking…

Have you experienced this?
I am on Facebook A LOT (much more than I should be, actually) and have my MFP set to post to Facebook (only when I complete my diary and when I lose weight). Most of my friends that follow me on Facebook know that I am in this journey and are normally pretty supportive about it. When I complete my diary, they will "like"…

Biggest Loser- Anyone ever wonder this? *Girls*
Am I the only one who wonders how much Aunt Flow (aka TOM) effects the weight loss results each week for the females? I mean, surely they have a period, right? TOM definitely effects my weight loss stats so I'm wondering if it does for them, too. Food for thought...

How to Beat a Plateau
My boss has been going to a local weight loss clinic for almost a year now and has dropped a significant amount of weight. She is very aware of her diet and makes a regular effort to exercise. So when I reached a plateau that I still haven't defeated, she gave me these tips that were given to her. I figured I'd share. =)…

Mini Goal Progress
Are you feeling discouraged? Do you feel like no matter what you do, the weight won't come off? Are you thinking you have been doing this a while and seeing no results? That's exactly how I felt. The scale was going nowhere. Each time I would step on, I would gain, then lose, then gain, then lose. It was frustrating. I've…

Protein Powders for Smoothies
Hey ya'll! My super fantabulous mother bought my husband and I a blender that's very similar to a Magic Bullet (isn't she awesome!?) last night. I had told her a while back that I wanted one to make breakfast smoothies with. So, I went to Walmart and looked for protein powders and the only ones I could find were Whey…

Anyone use Rockin' Body by Beachbody?
I purchased the Rockin' Body DVDs about 2 years ago. They've been sitting around my house for a while now and I've finally decided to use them. I haven't seen anyone else on the site mention that they use them, too, so I was just wondering if anyone else is using or has used them...and if so, what are your results? Thanks!…
