snack/meal ideas or suggestions for college
Hey guys, I am 25 and will be starting back to school for my second degree next week. When i was in college the first time I lived really close to campus and my schedule was such that I didn't have to pack lunch with me or get run ragged. I will be getting up at 6am (an hour drive to school) to be in class by 8. I will be…

body measurements
Ok So I know where and how to measure through the torso. But my question is for women what kind of ratio (I don' t know what word to use) should you have from chest, waist, hips? I know everyone is different but I want to set some goals for myself but I don't know how to go about doing that. Any suggestions on websites…

Has anyone used this dvd? I just found it on amazon super cheap (to me anyway) less that $10. I had always thought it was like $20+. But I am still hesitant to try it without hearing feedback first! Thanks!

good old crunches!!!
OK call me weird but I like crunches! When I took yoga in college we would do anywhere from 60-120 per class and we met twice a week. As you can imagine I had some pretty decent abs back in the day. But we would do say 10 reps of version a, 30 reps of version b and so on. Problem is I can only remember maybe two types of…

yoga
Ok so I have decided that in my down time at work I want to try to pick up some exercise. I know I'm going to sound like a bimbo but I'm trying to keep the sweat to a minimum in this particular case just because I will be at work....basically save the cardio and such for home. I had asked for a good website yesterday for…

lactose intolerant question (sort of)
Ok, for those of you who use lactaid where exactly does one find it? I went to walmart the other day and spent 30 min looking for it and couldn't find it. I don't at all think I am actually lactose intolerant it's just that since my gall bladder has been removed certain dairy products don't get along with me very well. I…

Applebee's...thought I'd share
There's an Applebee's across the street from me at work. Just happened to see on their sign out frontthat they have new entrees for 550 calories a piece. Not sure what the entrees are or anything but thought I would share knowing that so many people go there and sometimes have a hard time picking things to eat.

NSV TIME!!!!
So I was stepping in the shower this morning and realized that for the first time since being on MFP my boobs stick out farther than my tummy again!!! (I am rather small chested as it is so it doesn't take much!) I take my rings off while sleeping and then I put them back on right before I leave my house. Well I have one…

I think I understand the last ten pounds!
Ok so I have lost 20 lbs to date but my goal is to have lost 30. Well when I had lost around 10 lbs or so I started seeing in the forums all these posts about the last 10 lbs not wanting to come off. For some it was a struggle because of a plateau some for other reasons. But I think for me I see my problem! Unfortunately I…

So I decided today I was going to start c25k.:glasses: I totally forgot I was supposed to take my parents to the airport for a trip to Ireland today so I got a late start. I hit the…

interesting "diet" coke
So I went to sonic today during happy hour and I am sure as most of you know when you are sitting in your car you can hear what other people order. A lady one stall over from me ordered a large coke...but asked for half regular coke and half coke zero...I thought it was an interesting way to cut back on calories without…

anyone want to be C25K buddies!?!
Ok I am starting C25K on monday (having to wait because I just had my gall bladder removed). But I thought I would ask to see if anyone wanted to start it with me so we can hold each other accountable and motivate each other. I would like to find some people that are in the starting part of it at least so we are doing it…

couch to 5k questions
OK so because it is so easy for me to make excuses not to get to the gym or run by my parents house to use their equipment in their garage I am thinking of doing the couch to 5k. I have no space in my house to use dvd's...literally I can't even do yoga in my house!!! But there is no reason I can't get out and run or ride…

a couple new NSV's!!!
The first one.... The other night my boyfriend and I were pulling our patio furniture under the carport before an upcoming storm. As we were walking into the yard he reached over to grab my toosh and instead grabbed a handful of jeans!!! We were both stunned! He thought he accidentally pulled my jeans off (I was wearing a…

protein powders???
Ok let's try this one more time. I went to walmart and just grabbed a random inexpensive protein powder without really thinking about it or reading the label. I get it home and it has 170 calories per scoop. Well I am going to go ahead and use it until payday when I can go get something else. But in researching the powders…

I need help picking protein
Ok so I found a recipe on here for a protein shake I really wanted to try. (My parents got me a blender for my birthday for the occassion even). So stupid me I go to walmart and get a small jar of protein powder for a few reasons. 1) I was on a budget and the small jar was $10 vs $20 for the big. 2) I wasn't sure I was…

"all food is cancer causing!"
Now for starters I DO NOT actually agree with this statement necessarily. But has anybody noticed that almost anything we put in our mouths/bodies seems to cause cancer in some way? Mio, Dairy products, preservatives, non-organic product, meat, etc.!?!? If we use a sugar substitute = cancer Sugar = cancer Go in the sun =…

dropping motivation :-/
Ok so I have gotten down to 160 went up to 162 and stayed there for a couple weeks now I'm down to 161 again. My problem is even though my goal is 150 and that's where I want to be. I'm OK with where I am even though OK is not HAPPY. Since I'm ok with it I'm finding it hard to keep my motivation up. After reading and…

walking
Ok so a MFP friend posted a status and now it has me curious. How much walking does one have to do to be considered lightly active? I have a mostly sedentary (I don't know if I spelled it correctly but I'm not looking for a proof reader) job and I wear a pedometer to log my walking. Based on that I can kind of figure out…

WINNING THE LOTTERY!?!?
So I buy most of my jeans from the buckle and maurice's so they won't be high waters on me (I dealt with that enough as a kid). So of course my jeans are about $80 a pop. When I started gaining weight and "outgrew" my jeans I hung onto most of them thinking maybe just maybe one day I can fit back into them. I have lost 14…

MFP says to change calories....what to do!?!?
Ok so I have lost 11 lbs since starting MFP. I have about 13 more to go to my goal. The last weigh in I had said that since I had lost 10 lbs I should basically readjust my calories and all that stuff. Idk if I should or not. I have been holding pretty steady in my weight for a little over a week (but my official weigh in…

clothing....which size to pick!?!?
I have noticed I am able to start gettin back into some of my smaller clothes which excites me although I dont have much in the way of smaller sizes. I donated alot of my clothes when I started gaining weight because I thought I had no choice but to accept I was gaining and the diets I had tried didn't work for me. But now…
