Quick family dinners
I figured I would reach out to all you fine folks and see how you busy people handle weekday family meals. I usually don't get home from work until 6pm and I frantically try to feed my 16 mo and only occasionally manage to eat as a family. I want to change this as she gets older. What are your go-to quick meals or prep…

HELP!!!! nobody brought donuts :(
I feel so unappreciated as an office employee when nobody brings in donuts during busy season. I mean, a client brought in coffee, bagels and fruit from Panera yesterday, but let's be serious... fruit?? I want the sugary goodness that is in the form of yummy deep-fried flour dough smothered in a glaze or even chocolate…

Why is MFP so mean??
Because many users have been around for a while and get frustrated giving the same answers over and over again while the OP gets defensive because the responses were not what they expected. No, you do not need a cleanse. Diet supplements do not work. Sugar is not the devil. You do not need to go on a 1200 cals, low-carb,…

Office treats are the best
They are like, free snacks and yum yums for all. I don't even have to worry about what my afternoon snack will be because there is a cupcake or cookie just waiting to be eaten. Now I'm just really sad there's no office treats at work today. My greek yogurt is just not cutting it.

Calling all "meanies", what's going on??
While the struggle to not eat the donut and seeing people get butthurt over a tough love reality check has been mildly entertaining today, I need some more laughs and could even use some more friends. Where are all the gifs???

To maintenance or not to maintence
That is the question. I'm currently at the lowest weight I've been in probably since being an adult. I'm 5'4" and 123 lbs currently eating TDEE less 10%. I also lift heavy (SL 5x5) 3x week. I'm happy with my weight overall, but still want to lose some fat particularly around my waist and arms. While I sit here fantasizing…

Kind of excited!
I love MFP for the community, while the gifs on Fridays keep me entertained, it is also a place where I can get great eating advice. What got me excited is learning about IIFYM and someone actually suggested that I should just eat the ice cream and pop tarts. If it fits my calorie intake and macros, I can just adjust my…

Heavy lifting moms!
I'm a working mom with an 11-month old, just starting to get back into the heavy lifting and eating healthy routine again. Even though I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight, my body composition is totally different and I need some "toning up" aka muscle definition! I'm doing Stronglifts 5x5 as I like the simplicity and the…

Lifting with the boys
So I just started working out in the gym in my office building since I literally walk by it to go to the bathroom at work. It's free so I cancelled my PF membership. However, I lift heavy (just started SL 5x5) and so far am the only female that uses the free weights. Also, I was so self-conscious about bumping into my…

Back pain?!
Anyone else going through back pain in their third trimester? I'm currently 31 weeks and for the past few weeks my lower/mid back has been killing me. For me it only happens when I sit for a while. Unfortunately my job involves sitting for 8 hours a day but I do get up and stretch every hour or so. I've tried heating pads,…

How long did you wait??
To tell people you were pregnant? Family, friends, co-workers/boss? I just found out yesterday we are expected our 1st child! I want to tell the world but of course I won't just yet :) I had to tell a few of my closest friends, but I'm wondering how long everyone waited to tell others??
