Has anyone tried PlantFusion?
If you have, how did you find it, taste-wise? And how well were you able to digest it? I want to use it to add to my morning smoothies. Vega One sounded good, too, but it's a little on the expensive side, unfortunately...

Heart rate monitors: what would you recommend
I am thinking of purchasing a heart rate monitor soon, but I am unsure which model to pick... I would like something not too expensive, and mostly need it to count expended calories - so no need for any fancy equipment. I would love you hear your recommendations! ETA: I'm Canadian, so models that are only found in the US…

I'm back and motivated!
I started using MyFitnessPal in January 2012, when I weighed 150 lbs and wanted a change. I lost the few extra pounds, began eating healthy, and got into the habit of working out on a daily basis. It was awesome! I stopped counting my calories last summer, for the sake of simplicity, because I began cooking for 2. A year…

Do you want to eat icing from the spoon?
If you're like me, you do. In fact, I have a recipe just for that. If you like smooth icing, chocolate, and peanut butter, then this recipe is for you! Basically I just stir in 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, half a tablespoon of liquid sweetener (agave, honey, or maple syrup), and a tablespoon of cocoa powder together. I…

Ate myself 'sick' for the first time ever...
I used to eat until I felt sick almost every day before I started counting calories. I never threw up, though- I just felt too full all the time. I also didn't eat well- desert for every meal, nutella croissants for breakfast, lots of unhealthy lunch meat, etc. It's been more than a year, and my diet has changed a lot. I…

Hungry For Change
Just watched a really interesting documentary called 'Hungry For Change'. Thought I would share it on here! It's available on netflix and talks about the food industry and the lies about diets. Here's the link to their website: http://www.hungryforchange.tv/

OMG. Have to rant.
So, I was talking to my mom while making a recipe involving cocoa powder. She started telling me in a joking matter that I should think of buying artificial cocoa powder because I was using so much of it and it can be expensive. I replied that I was trying to cut out processed and 'fake' foods, so I would never buy 'fake'…

Skinny, but fat???
I started my weight loss journey last Christmas, when I realized I was about to go over my healthy weight range. Since then I’ve lost an easy 10 pounds, but have struggled yo-yo style since I’ve gotten below 140. However, I’ve noticed lately that I can see and feel my ribs more… not just in the front, but in my back as…

Belly Question
I've lost most of the weight and inches that I wanted to lose, but there is one thing still bothering me. The area just below my belly button is still swelling out too much for my liking... and I can't seem to get rid of it, no matter how much I work out with cardio, abs, and other strenght training. I did the 30 day shred…

Measuring pasta?
When you enter, let's say, 4 ounces of pasta, is that 4 ounces cooked or uncooked? Because there is a BIG difference!

First battle won against the cold.
Ever since I can remember, I've always had horrible colds, OFTEN. I would get 5-10 colds a year and they would last up to two weeks. Ever since I started eating healthier, I noticed a change. A cold tried to get at me once and died after the first day... and the second time, it lasted only 5 days! And it wasn't as intense…

How bad is alcohol..?
I want to know if alcohol once in a week or so is bad for weight loss. Assume I go to the gym that day so that I don't go over my calorie goal. I don't starve myself to make up for the calories, either...

Callout to girls on the pill...
I'm not sure I'm in the right topic right now, but I really need help. I've just skipped over my period (99.9% sure I'm not pregnant). I made a research as to why that would happen, and I learned that it could be because of a change in diet and increase in exercise. For the past month I've been exercising a lot more and…

Just had a horrible food day.
What I mean by horrible food day is that I probably went a million calories over my goal. I plan on going even more over tonight, because of a party. I decided I wouldn't count today's calories. What I want to know is: does 1 day of extreme calorie eating (lots of dessert, chips, and alcohol) affect weight a lot? Let's…

Always hungry!
I've heard from other users that it's normal to be feeling hungry all the time when you start reducing your calories. For me it's been a week. Is that true? Because I feel like I am starving myself. I take between 1600-1800 calories per day with exercise so I'm not even close to being below the mininum, but I probably used…

What do you love about yourself?
I know everyone has some part of their body that they dislike, but everyone has one part of themselves that they really love! I find that focusing on that really helps, because if you love part of your body, you can one day love it all! So, what part of you do you love? :smile: For me it's gotta be my butt- I've been told…
