how do you get your fiber in on a lower carb diet?
I am working on my grocery list for this next week... and I have decided that I am going to be watching my carbs for a while. Not for the sole purpose of losing weight,(although I hope that is a side effect) but because I want to boost my protein intake and also because I think I have a real carb problem. When I am not…

Bring God back to school.
I am seeing a lot of posts on facebook and other social media lately regarding the CT shootings and how we need God back in our schools. ????? As a Christian, I firmly believe that He has never left. My kids bring Him to school every day. Yes, we no longer force students to pray...but what does forced prayer mean anyway?…

Oh Boy. I am asking for it...
My #1 priority is to fuel and move my body properly and be HEALTHY! Second to that (although a very close second) is to lose 110 pounds. When I started on MFP two months ago, I had different ideas of what it would take to lose that weight. I thought that if I watched my calories and worked out like crazy the weight would…

My 97 Year old Inspiration
I just came back from visiting my 97 year old Great Grandmother. She is AMAZING and super smart and sassy and funny! I want to be just like her when I grow up! She buried my great grandpa 30 years ago. I know she misses him like crazy but she is so positive. After he died all of the children and grandchildren were so…

Okay... be brutal!
If any of you who have had success shedding large amounts of extra smush are bored and would like to take a look at my diary...please do! Be brutal (but constructive please...) and tell me how I am doing as far as what I am eating? Give my any tips you may have or advice on what I could do to improve?

A little extra motivation... in case you need it.
I was talking to my mom the other day about our family health problems and how our lack of activity has contributed to them... and she told me something that blew me away. My dad has diabetes and was diagnosed with it a little over 20 years ago. At that time he did not have to take insulin and his doctor told him that if…

Going Camping Soon--can I pre-log in my food and exercise?
So I am going to be without wifi or access to the internet soon and I am wondering if it is possible to pre log my food and exercise so that I dont miss a log in day. Is that possible? And then I can make any changes necessary when I get back to civilization?

What is your favorite way to burn?
So tomorrow begins my fourth week on MFP...My ultimate goal is to lose 10lbs a month--more would be fine--but at least 10. So far I have lost 7...that means I have to drop three this week to hit my first goal! It is going to be rainy off and on this week, so it may not be the best week for swimming (which is my favorite)…

I thought grown-ups were so strange... Fast forward…

Epiphanies! What have yours been?
I just absolutely love this site! I have been on for a little over a week now and have had three major epiphanies already! 1. Logically I have always known that in order to lose weight, output has to be greater than intake. Yet somehow, seeing it in writing has finally made it click for me! 2. Things I used to indulge in,…

Introducing myself!
Hello! I have recently discovered this website, and I LOVE it! I have a lot of weight to lose ( over 100lbs).But I actually lose weight pretty easily. I have tried Weight Watchers and various other fad diets and they all worked. On some of them I would drop 30 lbs or more in the first month. MY biggest problem is sticking…
