Food diary secrets
My friends can't see my food diary because then they'd know how many calories I save for wine. Do you have anything to hide?

Finally, People Are Noticing
I started my journey on August 4 and have lost 33 lbs with a goal loss of 50. I used to go around in totally frumpy clothes, unisex-type shoes, little or no make-up, and my haircuts were always long overdue. I was going gray and had no intention of doing anything about it. Since I've lost weight, I've felt better and…

Not so simple math
I got a Fitbit a couple of weeks ago and I love it. I went on a business/fun trip last Thursday-Sunday and I confess I ate and drank way more than normal. I got my Fitbit weekly report via email today and found that my calories in versus calories out gave me a 1575 calorie deficit for the week. So, I thought I would stay…

Pumpkin Oatmeal- Yummy breakfast
I adapted this from a crockpot recipe. Makes 1 serving. 1/2 c. old fashioned oats 1 c. almond milk 1 c. pumpkin good sprinkle of cinnamon sprinkle of cloves (I used less than the cinnamon because cloves seem stronger to me) Stir together well and microwave on 60% power for 3 minutes. Then I added a tbsp on sliced almonds.…

NSV - down 2 sizes in jeans!
I was in a hurry this morning and grabbed a pair of jeans, thinking they were size 16. I had them on and zipped before I realized they were an old pair of size 12s that I hadn't been able to get into in months and months. So, I wore them to work and they are comfortable. YAY!

Fruits Lowest in Sugar Small Amounts of Lemon or Lime Rhubarb Raspberries Blackberries Cranberries Fruits Low to Medium in Sugar…

NSV- one less RX
Went to the doc today and he took me off the prescription that I was on to control my blood sugar. With MFP, I'm doing it myself! Another 10 lbs and he's going to let me go half on my blood pressure med. By the end of the year, I hope to only be swallowing vitamins and healthy food. :smile:

Calcium and Protein- impossible to meet both goals?
How in the world can you meet calcium *and* protein goals? If anyone is meeting both those goals, what are you eating? I wouldn't worry about this if I hadn't just watched Fork Over Knife a few weeks ago and learned that people are healthier when they eat less animal protein.

C25K with plantar fasciatis
So far I've lost 12 lbs just tracking my food and calories. I need to add exercise and am very out of shape. The C25K program appeals to me because of the structure. I'm pretty good at following directions :-). But, I have had plantar fasciitis for more than a year. With daily muscle-stretching exercises, it isn't painful…

Sugar from fruit?
My blood sugar level has been way too high (at least prior to joining MFP) so I added a column to my daily nutritional breakouts to measure my sugar intake. I was surprised to see that I am always exceeding my sugar goal even though I never use sugar or eat sweets. My whole wheat sandwich bread has 11 grams in 2 slices.…
