Passover
Any other members of the tribe going to keep kosher for Passover next week along with trying to stay within calories? last year I didn't log in food and just focused on keeping kosher... needless to say I had matzo with almond butter and nutella for 7 days - not great on the scale readings. I am planning on making a bunch…

abnormal PAP
I know this might be TMI for some, but considering the posts I see about cystic ovaries and times of the month, I didn't think anyone would mind. a few months ago I had my yearly pap smear and it came back abnormal. I then had to have a biopsy with a gynecologist (can we say pinch!) which also came back abnormal. has…

CLX/TF hybrid schedule?
I got TF and CLX the other day and was interested in starting the hybrid as a balance for intense cardio and strength training. Before buying them I found a hybrid schedule online that was 12 weeks long (I copied it into a word document to keep track) which I can no longer find, but now all I find are 20 week programs.…

by bye P90X, hello...
My fiance's parents gave us the P90X disks about 3 or 4 months ago. I started it and feel in love although took a break after a vacation since I got out of the groove of it and have restarted a few weeks ago full force. Now they are asking for it back. So, do I splurge and spend the money I don't have on.... 1. a new P90X…

P90X question
Hello, I am on day 2 of week 5 of P90X lean. I've been using a HRM to track my calorie burn to track progress. I've noticed this last week or so that when I enter my exercises (I've added all the p90x exercises into the exercise log) that I am burning fewer calories than the last time I did the same work out. Has anyone…

P90X
Started P90X last week (now on day 8) and was wondering if there are any other new P90Xers out there wanting to start a new thread. I saw that there is a group which started in November but since they are probably half way through it, I thought I would try to get a newer group going. Jess

climbing back on the wagon
yesterday was a rough day at work... one of my co-workers had broken her leg the day before so I was covering for her and trying to do my own stuff as well. It was a long day and I ended up eating 3 donuts along with the nice and healthy lunch and snacks I had brought. I then went to dinner at my boyfriend's house and at a…

does being cold burn calories?
So, I have a job which requires me to be outside a lot. Most days it requires some physical activity which I do not log, as it is more strength for my arms. However, as those in the north east also know, it's gotten quite cold. I had to stand outside waiting for a client for about half an hour today. does it take more…

fed a cold?
I've been bad this week. I've been fighting off a cold, and it just seems like I always want to eat. It's always hard to keep on track at my office where donuts and pizza abound. I had donuts 2 days in a row and pizza as well as chinese yesterday. I also haven't really gone to the gym since breathing is hard with how…

picnic
I was going to have a picnic on the river with my BF for lunch to enjoy this nice fall day. I was thinking of getting a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, some fruit, fresh veggies and some low fat ranch to dip them in. Any other ideas???

turnips
anyone have any good turnip recipes? I recently bought some, and other than roasting with a little bit of oil, I have no other ideas....

L'shana tova
Happy new year to all the other "members of the tribe" out there. I just moved, so I'll be spending the high holidays at a new congregation. I'm kind of nervous and missing the congregation I grew up going to in Los Angeles. Have a good holiday all

low calorie, multiple portions and freezable
Hi everyone I live a busy life (don't we all) and have fallen in love with making a big batch of something on the weekend and then freezing individual portions of it for the next few weeks. I've done chili, cook yourself thin's stuffed shells and a low calorie version of lasagna (lots of mushrooms, spinach, chicken sausage…

middle of the night
Hi everyone... So I'm a doctor and frequently on call. Tonight's the second time I've been call in in the middle of the night, and I have the wrost feeling in my stomach. I had it last time too. It's almost a nausea feeling and last time I had some grahram crackers and that made me feel better, but I hate to just have to…

when I have a cheat day, I really have a cheat day
So, yesterday I went to spend the day in Burlington VT to visit some friends and show my boyfriend around the town I went to college in (YAY UVM). I was just going to call it a cheat day, and be somewhat conscious of what I ate, but not really deny myself any of the favorites I only get the once in a blue moon I am there.…

dinner dates
So I went on a date tonight - first one in a long time, and especially exciting since it is the first one since I moved to a new state. Went out for mexican - his pick, not mine, and I thought I was being so good, only had a few chips and salsa and ordered fish tacos. I was surprised (although I know I should have asked…

venting
so, I've been weighing myself daily - and before you all tell me not to do that, I KNOW that I should only do it once a week and that weight will fluctuate. BUT for the past 2 weeks I had been continually loosing on a day to day basis. I had been eating good food, although going over on my calories by about 150-200 daily…

spinning
I've just started taking spin classes again after many months of not doing it (and for the first time since starting MFP and my weight loss journey). Few questions for other spinners: what do you use on the exercise page to enter a spin class? one of the cycling options? what do others (especially those with HRMs) normally…

splurge
So, I just finished my first day at my new job (first real job after graduating form veterinary school). And I'm 315 calories over my limit. I couldn't face going back home after such a day and eating boring stir fry veggies or a small bowl of home made chili. I stopped at the grocery store on the way home and got a frozen…

scale suggestions
After moving to a new state two days ago, my scale no longer works. I think I should get a new one to help track my progress. So, I've read a couple of old threads about people's issues with their scales, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a good, accurate scales. No bells and whistles needed, but cheap…

living abroad??
Hi Everyone, I've been on this site for a few weeks now and really love it! I check it more often than my e-mail now and love reading everyone's posts. I really want my mother to join it too, she's overweight and has struggled with it for her whole life. She knows that she simply needs to reduce calories and increase…

need to be strong
I'm going to a BBQ today and am so nervous that I'm going to blow all the good work I've done this week (every day has been under my goal caloric intake, except for the day I went into Boston but I walked enough that I think I walked off the extra 300 calories). I'm going to be bringing hummus and veggies and plan to stick…
