Scared of the movie theater!!
This will be my first weekend since switching to keto. I already have plans to go to a movie tomorrow and I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas for snacks I can take in. Movie theater popcorn is pretty much the only thing that would tempt me. I have no problem passing on sweets and don't really crave pasta or bread like I…

Write my grocery list!
"If you're tired of starting over, quit giving up" I am starting over. Again. Now with new hours, I am at work for both lunch and dinner. I have some time in the morning to prepare meals for the day, but I need quick snack ideas for in between. I have a habit of buying things that are fake-healthy--prepackaged bars,…

5'2" 155 shooting for 120-125 by August 8th!
I'm hoping to find some friends that are really close to my current stats and shooting for the same goals. August 8th is my birthday and I know I can reach my goal weight if I really push for it. Any other shorties in the 150's ? :)

Why can't I find one with length AND girth?
....haha I'm sorry. I couldn't resist the title. This is a post about CURLING IRONS so gentlemen, I apologize! Ladies, I have long thick hair. I cannot for the life of me find a large barrel curling iron that is long. They're all so short, that by the time I curl one chunk of hair up, the outermost layer gets no heat. Does…

Brunettes! Hair color ideas/help!
I'm in a wedding in May and I'm going in a couple weeks to get my hair highlighted. I'm trying to decide exactly what to do to it. Having dark hair is somewhat limiting, but I just haven't found that look that makes me think "Yes, THAT'S what I want" I'm hoping I can get some help from you ladies on different colors/looks.…

Clean meals on the go
I generally eat breakfast in my car, lunch in a hurry at home, and dinner at work. I am trying to start up with a cleaner diet than I have been on. Does anyone have fast meal ideas that might travel easily ? I've found some delicious recipes but I have no time to cook them!

Eating Clean w/Bread
I am trying to research into "eating clean". I know its a fairly simple concept, and that it takes a long time to be good at it, but my biggest weaknesses are bread, tortillas, and pastas. Is there a way to factor these into a clean diet? (In moderation, of course) Is there such thing as a healthy tortilla?

Baby showers just for first-born?
My best friend has a 2 year old son and is now pregnant with a little girl (FUN! I'll be the godmother!) For her first baby, she had to ask her family to throw a baby shower, because no one thought to (I live states away now and would have in a HEARTBEAT) But now she says that she won't get a shower for this one, because…

Needing motivational email buddies!
I love MFP, I've stopped and started a million times. Somehow, I always get hung up around week three--because I don't see results or feel any different. I know if I could push past that and make it through 6 weeks I would make a lot of progress. Well now its crunch time. I have about 6 weeks until my best friend's wedding…

30 Day Shred Beginning 1/29/12!
I have both 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30 of JM's. I've never made it past week three. ...Ever. Doing anything. At week three, I get frustrated because the scale hasn't moved and I don't SEE results. I hit a wall and give up. I don't want to do that anymore. I'm trying it again !! Would anyone like to start with me and use…

I need protein shake education!
I've always had this picture in my head of guys at my college trying to get ripped and always making protein shakes for themselves. I always looked at it as a bulky meat-head kind of thing (I know, I apologize, I realize I'm wrong!) I do have an irrational fear of building bulky muscle, though. My family has naturally…

Help My Wonderful Mama get motivated!
Trying to get my mama back in the spirit of MFP. Both her and I need to get healthy and lose weight. She was on here for awhile and did well just using the calorie tracker. But she needs some great friends like you to help motivate her! Would love to surprise her on her next login with a bunch of friend requests to get her…

Road Trip!
I'm going on a 16-hour road trip. I will leave Friday evening. When tracking calories, do I count my day from when I wake up until I go to sleep? Or do I track it from midnight-midnight? I won't be sleeping until 10am the next day, so It will significantly throw off my eating habits. Also, what kind of snacks can I bring…

Evening Snacker!
I work from 1-9:30pm every night. I do really well with my eating all through the day and don't really ever feel too hungry. But when I get home in the evening a hunger strikes me like nothing else! I try to just have a glass of water and go to bed. I know its bad to eat this late at night. But lately I've been waking up…

Choices during a night out?
I'm 22. I don't go out to bars or clubs too often. However, when I do, its a long night. It is nearly impossible with a group of 20-somethings to turn down free drinks or to say "I'll just have one tonight..." Since these nights are few and far between, should I just stick with what I enjoy and work my butt off later? Or…

I love my rack!!
I'm about 5'2" on a good day. There was a time when I weight 109 lbs. I was pretty thin and had a small chest. Since then (about 5 years) I've gained 40 lbs. The weight is pretty even and doesn't look terrible, but I just feel awful. However...I love my rack. I love my curves and I'm afraid if I lose weight my "girls" will…

Compliments ruining my motivation!
Let me preface this by saying that I am NOT complaining. I am the luckiest girl in the world to be surrounded by people who are so loving and supportive. I don't have many friends that deal with any kind of weight issues. Mostly they're all genetically gifted and tiny. On a daily basis, I don't have anyone to vent to about…
