Alpiste/Canary Seed
Has anyone tried this? Apparently drinking one glass of this milk before you eat when you wake up, and another before you go to bed will help you in your weight loss journey. My mother swears by this and says it's what got her blood sugar down (she's diabetic) - she doesn't need insulin anymore. I've been trying it but…

Whey protein on a plane?
I was wondering if anyone has ever traveled and taken their whey protein/other supplements with them on a plane? I'm going to Mexico next month and would like to continue my exercise/diet while I'm there. I was thinking of putting it into my checked luggage but the containers are so huge that they take up half the room in…

Ate more than I should have tonight! Ahh!
Well, more like drank more than I should have. I went out with friends and was fooled by the "zero calorie margarita" and other drinks...turns out they have a lot of calories! I never knew this! So after a few drinks, I was extremely tipsy and hadn't eaten dinner yet....so I ordered a clam chowder bread bowl. In hindsight,…

Fitness with your dog?
I'm wondering if anyone partakes in fitness with their dogs? As in perhaps running with them? I have a terrier/chihuahua mix who recently turned a year old. I adopted him when he was 6 months old. He's incredibly hyperactive so I do take him on lots of walks, often times he is still extremely energetic. Sometimes I just…

Yoga and Weight Loss, Interesting Article

NSV (possibly TMI)
I think one of the reasons I had such a hard time losing weight before was because I never drank enough water. In April, my school started a "biggest loser" weight loss competition. At that time, I weighed 174 lbs, but never weighed in here because I was so mad I had gained from my initial weight when I started MFP (168…

Not sure if I'm on the right track
I'm 5'1", 23 years old, and 160 lbs. My goal weight is somewhere between 110-120 lbs. I've been reading various things about TDEE and BMR and changing your goals manually, and I'm very confused by all the numbers and not sure what to make of it. MFP has my daily calorie intake at 1200 calories. I eat back most of my…

Staying healthy while on vacation?
I'm going to be visiting family in Mexico next month, and I am anticipating some difficulties dieting. Mexican food is so good but can be incredibly unhealthy. While I think there will be healthy alternatives, I feel it will be so hard to say no to a lot of things. I still plan on being active (climbing pyramids and such)…

Relatively New Here
I joined a while back but haven't been consistent with using this tracker. I currently just have the website determine my calorie intake goals but maybe I should do it manually. Any thoughts/suggestions? I'm an elementary school teacher, currently enjoying my summer break. My overall goal is to lose fat and gain muscle,…
