Have I given it long enough???
This is my first real post here in EM2WL...I'm stumped, baffled, frustrated, angry, yada yada! I've been back to logging on MFP since the new year with a few small breaks here and there. I decided on 5/5 to EM2WL and I haven't looked back. I LOVE eating so much more! Prior to upping my intake I was eating anywhere from…

Day 1!
Hi ladies!! Checking in to see how day 1 went for everyone! Personally I enjoyed the routine-she really kicks your butt with the plank work. I think the routine was fairly easy to follow and after doing RI30 I can handle pretty much all the moves with no modifications-booyah!! I torched 487 cals (hell yeah!!) and my thighs…

2 Months...and I've gained...HELP!
Hi MFP! I've come humbly asking for help...I started my journey 3 years ago this summer. I managed to drop about 75lbs. over a year and a half through exercise and a fairly low carb diet (not NO carb, but low-I didn't eat any sort of 'white' foods). I fell off the wagon hard last July when my hubby and I bought our first…

Help me meet my goal! :-)
I need some MFP help on one of my goals for this month: EAT A NEW VEGGIE! Instead of listing all the veggies I have had...I'll just ask for some suggestions! Something rare, a little uncommon, exotic even! I'll make it known that I loathe cooked greens (spinach, collards, kale) and despise baked beans (but love pretty much…

Chicken & a *very* picky hubby
I have a dilemma MFPeeps! I only have TWO ways to cook chicken in my house because my husband is SO very picky...and with the price of beef being higher and with his work schedule being unpredictable, chicken, is cooked at least 3 nights a week. My hubs is to the point where he will beg to pick something up on his way home…

need some new sources of fiber!
I'm getting a bit worn out on my same old routine of meals as far as fiber goes and am looking to change it up! I try and keep my fiber intake fairly high but haven't been doing so hot lately and do NOT want to take a fiber supplement! :noway: Other than a stinkin' Fiber One bar, what are your favorite sources of fiber??…

relief from TOM cramps *sorry guys*
I need some help ladies of MFP! I've suffered from awful TOMs for the past 12 years; heavy flow, god awful cramping and have been diagnosed with PMDD within the past 2 years. I'm learning to control the PMDD without the aid of drugs, which is a plus. I've gotten off of the pill because the past 3 I've been on have just not…

favorite pilates DVD
Hey MFPers! I'm looking for suggestions on a pilates DVD to use at home. I don't need a beginners or anything of that nature as I did pilates a few years ago and remember what I'm supposed to do! I just don't get through the workout well without some sort of instruction! I'm looking for BASIC - no fancy going into the…

So here's my dilemma! I'm 60 pounds down in not quite 11 months - go me! - and am pretty happy with the way my body is shaping up! My arms and back are getting some great definition, my calves are super from biking and walking, my belly...well, that will take time, but it's starting to show signs of a little bit of tone,…

Low-cal frozen dinners-help!
I need some help guys! I'm a creature of habit and eat the same stuff all the time! I'm trying to shake up my diet a little bit but without having to cook more! I normally cook two separate meals for myself and my hubby, so cooking something else specifically for lunch just isn't going to happen! I'll take leftovers or…

this plateau is really starting to kick my butt!
Ugh! As of December 16th, I'll have been going at this for 5 whole months-I've lost about 33lbs. But since 11/06 I have been stuck between 189-191 with NO movement! I know plateaus happen and all but really! A WHOLE month with no loss?! It's really kicking my motivation's *kitten* (in a bad way!). I'm varying up my…

hit my first real plateau...
I made my lifestyle change back in mid-July. I've been going at this for roughly four and a half months and in that time have lots about 35 pounds. Not too shabby! I'm very VERY proud of what I've accomplished. It's a healthier, thinner me as well as a much better life! But the problem is that I've hit my first major…

Croutons in Dole Salads...
Does anyone have ANY idea of the nutritional info for the croutons that Dole puts in their ceasar salad kits?? I've been looking everywhere to see if leaving them out of my salad really makes a difference as far as calories go. The Dole website doesn't even give nutrition info for the individual components that make up…

Juice...
So I came down with a bad cold early yesterday. :sad: I've always flushed my colds out quickly by taking large doses of Vitamin C. Now, one of the easiest ways to get extra C is to drink juice! I gave up juice about 8 months ago because it's so high in sugar, carbs and cals. Drinking one container (16 ozs) gives me 220…

jiggly wiggly jello thighs!
Even at my thinnest and fittest I have ALWAYS had what I consider icky inner thighs. :sad: No matter what I do I can't seem to get them to firm up at all! I don't want legs of steel but a little more tone to them would be great! Tips, suggestions, fellow sob story??
