My feed is so slow! Add me!
Over the last few years my feed has gotten pretty slow. I have my friends that are super committed, but they are few. Add me, please!

Low fat without the spike in sodium?
I got the news that my cholesterol levels are high, and I need to act now before I develop heart disease and stuff. I don't want to skip out on flavor, but I don't want to increase my sodium intake. What fats should I be using in order to help lower my LDL levels but raise my HDL levels? I feel so lost. :(

Chia seeds.
I recently bought a huge tub of chia seeds to help boost my fiber intake. So far I've only put them in some yogurt, which gave it a neat consistency and texture. I'm thinking it would be a good garnish on a salad, but I'd like to get some ideas. Thanks. :)

Friend me!
My feed is getting really.. uh, slow. Friend me, stay active, and let's get this done together. :)

Stomach shrinkage?
I chronically over eat, but I'm watching my portions. How quickly did you start feeling the sensation of feeling "full?"

add me, please!
I'm ready for this. I started my journey last year, and lost 20 pounds through healthy eating and exercise. Then BAM! I got pregnant with baby number 3! Right when I got back to my prepregnancy weight from #2. I am now 6 months postpartum, and I'm ready. I'm eating better again, and I just started Focus T25. I'm curently…

Morning sickness and trying to eat
This is the first time that I've really experienced morning sickness during pregnancy. I got really lucky during my first two pregnancies with my boys, so this is so new to me. I'm finding it so hard to eat these days. Sometimes I can eat, and eat, and eat with no problems. But then I have days like today, where even…

Recently got to my pre-pregnancy weight.. but..
I gotta start all over again in about 9 months! Darn that Murphy and his stinkin' laws.

One step closer a goal.
I finally have a double jogging stroller for my children. I am one step closer to completing my first 5k! I can't wait to get out there tonight and jog with my boys for the first time! Someone also told me about a local mommy running group. Everything is falling into place. :) My husband's and my first 5k is on the 25th. I…

Need some more support? I have plenty to give!
Add me! Let's work on our journey together. :)

NSV! No where near done, but the "old me" is LONG GONE!
I think this may be my biggest NSV yet. I just noticed that I ENJOY pushing my body hard now. I'm covered in sweat, and a big thanks to Insanity Pylometric Cardio Circuit for that! But you know.. I'm humoring the idea of going to the gym later! I'm looking forward to seeing how sore my body is tomorrow.. and I may just do…

I love my scale today.
As of today, I weigh 159.2 pounds. I haven't been under 160 in over 2 years. I fit in a pair of jeans that I haven't worn since I got pregnant with my second child. I can see the changes in my body, and it is awesome. I am now less than 30 pounds from my goal weight. I also believed the hype techniques when it came to…

My first comparison in pictures.
I've only been at this for just under a month. I'm kicking @ss and taking names! I'm determined to do this, and I can't believe I can all ready SEE differences! The weight difference is only about 3 pounds, but I'm proud of those 3 pounds lost! Oh, and don't mind the hair in the new pictures.. I just got back from the gym…

Would you have a cheat day for FREE Chic-Fil-A?
It's Cow Appreciation Day at Chic-Fil-A. We participated a few years ago, and it was a lot of fun. HOWEVER.. we weren't working hard to lose weight and get healthy like we are now. It's so hard to decide! LOL

Am I losing weight too fast?
I'm following MFP guidelines, and I eat back most of my exercise calories, but I'm dropping weight like crazy! Last Thursday I weighed 162, yesterday I weighed 161. Now today I weigh 160.2! Many women would probably be feeling great about this, but I'm concerned that I may be losing too fast. I live a fairly sedentary…

Beer Drinkers Unite! What's your favorite?
So I had some calories to consume, and I decided to go for a beer instead of a sweet dessert. Sounded like a great way to spend the rest of the evening. Relaxing with the husband, drinking a beer, and watching a movie. 'Cept the movie won't play right, but that's not my point. By far my most favorite beer ever. Blue Moon's…

Protein shakes after exercise
Do they really help with preventing soreness? I guess I'm just kind of skeptical, but I gave in and drank a shake after I did Insanity Pure Cardio. I'm hoping it's true that they really help keep you from being super sore, because that was rough!!

How often do you check in?
What the title says. I was wondering how often some of the members weigh themselves? I'm thinking of staying with weekly, and wondering what others are doing. :)

I'm proud of my lunch!
And it's reeeeeeally good, too! :happy: But the reason I'm proud of it? It's from my very own garden!!

Looking for motivating friends!
I've been on MFP for 10 days now. I've been losing gradually over the last few months, but I've noticed the MFP has helped tremendously! Seeing the numbers is so motivating, and now I'm close to losing 13 pounds! SW: 175 CW: 162.4 GW: 130 So as you can see, I have 32 pounds left to lose! I know I will get there. When I'm…

My inner thighs don't touch!!
It seems the weight I've lost so far has been in my thighs and butt. YAY! :D I noticed that my inner thighs weren't rubbing together when I was walking through the store. I got home and looked in the mirror, and actually noticed the difference. I was in my exercise pants, and the last time I wore them.. I didn't like what…

My first scale victory!
I finally bought my scale today. I started counting calories and regular exercise just last week. Well, apparently I am a TERRIBLE judge of my own weight! The last time I was weighed was a few months ago, and I figured I was still around the same, maybe even more. So I joined here, put in 175 pounds as my starting weight.…

Too many calories at once?
Can consuming a lot of calories all at once be a bad thing? I'm on ADHD medication, and it kind of suppresses the feeling of hunger. I mean I can eat, but it's like I forget to. Well it happened today, the only thing I've had calorie wise is some coffee, with sugar and 2% milk. I just forced myself to sit down and eat a…

My first NSV. So simple, but so wonderful!
I've only been doing this for a few days. This is my 3rd straight day of watching my diet and exercise. I didn't expect to feel different all ready, but for the second day in a row.. I woke up looking forward to the day! I woke up before both of my children. I laid in bed feeling so relaxed. My youngest woke up and I was…

Done with excuses.
To be honest, I think "dieting" is a poor choice of words for me. I do not want to just diet, but partake in an overhaul of my lifestyle! My name is Kappy, and I'm 28 years old. I am a stay at home mom to my two glorious little boys. My oldest is 4 and a half years old, and my youngest is 1 year a few months in change. To…

Which scale?
I'm new to MFP, but I've known about it for a while. My husband has been a member, and is having wonderful success. Well, he has a scale readily available at his work. I.. on the other hand, am a stay at home mom--with no scale! Which is better? Digital or spring? I want as accurate as I can get, and it's gotta be easy. I…
