Advide for healthy clean snacks for trip
I am chaperoning a 3 day field trip to NYC in a few days. Very exciting, but the trip has been designed for a bunch of teenagers--stops at pizzerias, diners, etc. We will also be on the go for 14 hours a day. The last part is good for an effort in healthy living. So, as I'm packing, I'm thinking of healthy, nutritious…

Any pumpers out there?
Hi I'm a first time Mom. My 3 month old never latched so he only takes my pumped milk in a bottle and we supplement with formula. I feel like my supply has dwindled since I returned to work. I really want to make it to 6 months, but I also feel ready to give up at times. Is anyone experiencing the same thing?

Delicious lunch: 3 g. of fat and >300 calories!
For lunch I had: A toasted tuna sandwich with white bread. In the tuna, I put a large spoonful of fat free Greek-style yogurt with jalapeno peppers and cilantro paste. I topped with lettuce and tomato. On the side, I had a dill spear and 8 pickled beets! YUM :happy:

Question for the ladies
Do you get crazy cravings around your period? In the beginning--even right before it starts, I crave sweets and give in easier than when I'm not on the cycle--toward the middle and end, I crave greasy, fried food! Does anyone go through with this and how do you deal? For some reason I am weaker around my period and cave so…

sodium?
I have been looking at this weeks reports and notice that my sodium intake is pretty high, I think. Does anybody know the general amount of sodium someone is supposed to eat daily?

stupid choices
Though I stayed within my caloric range, I went way over on carbs, just over fat, and was extremely protein deficient today...It's tough getting back into the swing of things! Oh well, I guess tomorrow's another day...

yoga on dvd?
During the summer, there was free yoga in a park near my house, and I went once or twice a week. Now that summer is over, I dearly miss it! I can't afford classes, and the few yoga tapes I've seen, I didn't like--it was either too cheesy (a guy on a mountain top) or too quick or slow paced. Does anyone do yoga at home? If…

back again
I'm not a new member...I was a die hard MFP user over the summer, lost weight, quit smoking, school started back...the end result was me gaining over twice the amount of weight I had lost! So I am glad to be back--and for the new people, don't quit using MFP, it works until you quit! :-) Good luck everyone.

Back from relapse
Hi! I was doing awesome this summer and even felt comfortable in a bikini then I quit smoking, went on vacation and that all went out the window. Now I'm almost 2 months smoke free and I weigh a few pounds more than I did when I started MFP-But I feel okay about it and I'm back!

plateau blues
My first week on MFP I dropped 5 lbs quickly and for the past two weeks. I haven't gained--I haven't done must differently...why can't I lose more weight? I've heard of a plateau, but how long is it supposed to last?

Yay for yoga and yogurt
I fell in love with yoga today! I've been mainly walking up until now because it's really the only exercise I can stand...but today I did yoga in a local park...there is a free class Monday afternoon and Saturday morning and it was awesome! Afterward, I walked a half an hour to this place that specializes in tart frozen…

Getting somewhere!
I joined MFP roughly two weeks ago and I lost 5lbs! I honestly don't think I could have done that...this site is such a great motivator! As I am organizing my apartment, I found a pile of "skinny" clothes that I love and didn't want to give up...I tried them on for fun and I was able to stuff myself in them, which means I…

Hello!
Hi everyone! I just started a new myfitnesspal account today! I had one before, but I lost motivation. Yesterday, I was wearing a skirt that I had bought not too long ago, sat, and it ripped! I decided it was time to rejoin! I wish you all the best of luck! The Knotty Librarian
