I'm looking for breakfasts that are fairly low cal and don't have a lot of processed ingredients. It would also be nice to have some options besides eggs. Any ideas?

It's my 50 pound-iversary!!
I have lost and maintained my weight (and lost a bit more in the last few months) for ONE YEAR!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I made the decision to finally do something about my weight when I peaked out at 199 lbs. (at 5'3") in the summer of 2008. A lot of things finally came together to make me decide to change. I can't…

Exercise for someone with limited mobility?
My MIL is diabetic and recovering from a serious injury to her foot. She fell through her ceiling while she was up in the attic and has a plate in her foot. She's very sedentary and in the past has always lost weight using Atkins or this or that diet. Her weight has gotten really high and she knows she needs to lose it.…

Travelling
I almost always feel like I eat horribly when I travel. I just got back from a 4 day long camping trip. I packed food and I did eat quite a bit of it.....in addition to all the other crap I ate. I feel like home is my "safe zone". We eat out very rarely, and my house just doesn't have temptation. When we travel I feel like…

Chaperoning a high school camping trip--food help!
Next week, dh and I are chaperoning a high school camping/hiking trip. We'll be gone for five days.....we were told to bring money for two meals out and not to worry about food for the actual camping part of the trip, because the kids will be making all the food. AAHHH!

Help me lighten up this cupcake recipe
I LOVE this cupcake recipe, but one cupcake is 351 calories! (the recipe made 16 when I made it). I know there has to be a way to lighten it up a little bit. You would think with these being applesauce cupcakes that they would be lower calorie, so I was a bit shocked at how high they were when I plugged it into my recipe…

Did you take off your Thanksgiving lbs. yet?
I know a lot of us gained over the holiday. I went from 145 to 149 with three days of eating! It wasn't so much the Thanksgiving meal, but also eating out twice in three days which we so rarely do. When my family comes to town they always want to eat out. As of this morning, I was back under 145, at 144.4 :bigsmile: Now…

Runners--a question -- train to increase speed or distance?
Hi Runners, I have a question for you. I started running at the beginning of this year. I did my first 5k in February, in 37:53, or a 12:11/mile pace. I did another 5k in April, and improved a lot, doing it in 33:19, or 10:43/mile. I took most of the summer off (hard to run in North Texas in the summer!!), and just got…

New here--have lost 55 lbs. so far.
Hello all, I'm new to MFP. I've been using www.livestrong.com since January and got fed up with how slow it was, so I moved over here! I'm a 26 y/o Mom of two boys, and I gained a lot of weight while I was trying to finish my undergrad while being a wife and Mom. I've pretty much always struggled with my weight, but I had…
