Reflections on Resolutions
I posted this on my FB page back at the beginning of the month but I forgot to share here! For most of my adult life, I have had the same new years resolution. It usually went something like “this year I will exercise, eat right, loose weight and be healthy!” I would start out good trying to eat less fast food or walking…

Disney Princess Half
Hello! I’m looking for advice on the Disney Princess Half. Have any of you on MFP been to the half? I really want to go but I have a few questions. Did you enjoy the race? Where did you stay? Did you go with friends or by yourself? I am interested in making it my first half because it is my 30th birthday weekend!

Macro %'s
What %'s do you have your macros set to and why? I have mine at %40 protein, %40 carbs and %20 fat. My personal trainer suggested those and I have PCOS so I try to limit carbs to help with that as well. I was just wondering what others have theirs set at and how you came to those settings? Thanks!

Turbo Plan
Hello! I just started the turbo plan Monday. Getting over a plateau and hoping this method will kick things back up into high gear! I have an open diary if anyone wants to see examples!

Carb Cycling
I'm thinking about starting to do the carb cycle method next week. Do any of you have open diaries you would let me see using this method? I also wanted advice on how to reset my macros and calories. Do you change these on MFP every day? Did you set your macros at a certain % etc? Thanks!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Shake (request!)
So I'm in love with the low calorie burner chocolate PB shakes they sell at my gym by Shake This. Does anyone have a recipe for a shake made like this with pb2? And how do you incorporate the pb2 so it doesn't stick to the wall of the blender?

Insurance and reconstructive surgeries
I have a total of 200 to loose and I am down 55 so far. I will need some nip tuck work done for sagging skin. We are currently doing our annual enrollment and I was wondering of any of you have experience with Aetna EPO or Premera Blue Cross Medical PPO. It seems a bit odd but when I looked at the policies the more…

Went on a binge :(
Did anyone else have a horrible case of the Mondays? I had a horrible day, hated every minute of work and went to the gym after work. I don't know what it is but Mondays are always the days where all the pretty girls are at the gym. I go almost every day and swear these girls are never there except on Mondays I got on the…

My menu so far: Small salads to start Crock pot turkey breast (turkey breast with cut up orange slices all over it) Mashed…

Exercises to do when sitting down? (I sprained my foot!)
I sprained my foot ugh. No breaks on the xray but the doc gave me a referral to see a podiatrist in a week or a week in a half. She said if it still hurts this bad they will do a ct scan to see if there is a hairline fracture. I feel so mad about this whole thing I could cry. I am 30lbs down and don't want to loose all…

What do you do when starting to unravel?
I have been going fairly strong these last 52 days. I have lost 23lbs so far and I feel myself about to slip in a big way. I work out walking 2 miles 5-6 days a week and also do a circuit while at the gym. For the most part my food has been on track except for one day a few weeks ago when we had to put my dog down I went…

Cybex Arc Trainer
So who has worked out on one and what did you think? I have been walking on a treadmill (ellipticals hurt my knees) 2 miles a day and I decided to try out the arc for something new tonight. I usually do 1 mile at 3.0 2x's when I work out with a break for upper or lower body work. I can't really get faster than a 3.0 right…

Plantar fasciitis and wide walking shoes.
I get it every once and a while but every time I start working out again it happens. I got a shoe insert that was supposed to help with it, and it was great while working out last night but this morning when I got up OUCH! It is always the worst when I start to get up and around and now it does not really hurt at all but…

Help viewing info on MFP
On the mobile app under Home you can click daily or weekly and see a graph showing your breakdown of food types by % does anyone know if there is a way to view that on the actual MFP website or is that just something you can do on the mobile app?

How much do you spend a day?
Hello! I see so many posts about how it is expensive to eat right so I thought I would check and see how much I spend on the average day. I would be interested to know how much others spend as well. Below is a typical day and how much it costs me. The costs could be lower but I have particular things I like so I buy them…
