Plateau-- Food for thought
I have read so many posts about folks hitting plateaus. Myself, I guess I could say I have hit a plateau because I have gained and lost, gained and lost, and gained and lost the same 5 lbs since my 90day mark on MFP.

Best B.M.I test- your opinion??
Hello Friends!! What, in your opinion is the most accurate B.M.I test? I am down to 129 and still have some extra weight on my legs BUT I am suspicious that my b.m.i. might be lower than MFP is telling me.

Need suggestions to help my loving husband. :)
Would love to hear some suggestions as to how one would get a loved one to join MFP. Yes. I know that folks won't stay committed if it isn't their decision. However, I really REALLY think my husband would 'get into it' if he gave it a chance. The problem is he and I are like oil and water when it comes to dieting and such.…

Funny NSV -- Wedgies-- I'm not complaining...
Ha!! For the past year I have been wearing this awesome 'non-wedgie' underwear made by Hanes, size medium. Which by the way works really well.

Food addict- any suggestions?
A couple weeks ago a MFP posted a link to an eating quiz. It helped you identify what type of eater you are. It labeled me as: Addict People Pleaser (will eat something just because someone gave me something) Emotional eater I would say this is right on point however I don't know what to do about it. Since taking the quiz…

Tiny NSV.... my first since joining 6wks ago
Although I have struggled to keep my weight loss consistent, for the first time in 13 years I can fit into my oldest uniform pants. Back in the day I had to get the waists taken in since my legs are muscular but my waist was small. Whelp. I made it back- I can fit into them again. :) Hooray.

Does anyone freeze SILK ALMOND MILK???
Hello MFPs I'm starting my 3rd week and have really enjoyed finding new and healthier ways to eat. In the process I've noticed I'm wasting a lot of food.
