Anyone with an open paleo diary??
Recently i've been reading about the paleo way of eating/living, one of my friends is really into it so I was curious. I have some troubles with bread/grains...as in when eat them, I look seriously pregnant (I have not been tested for any allergies/intolerance as of yet), and while i'm not sure I could 100% commit to…

Potatoes...bad?
I love potatoes, I could eat them every day, but I notice a lot of people on mfp don't eat them....how come? Enlighten me, maybe it's something I need to know :)

Keep going at 1200, or switch to maintenance?
Hi you guys, I started logging with mfp at the beginning of nov 2011, I know it says 2010 but that's just when I originally created an account. Anyhow I'm 5'2 and started at 131lbs. I didn't, and still don't have a goal weight really but I set it at 115lbs which is what I was before I took my current job and got lazy. So,…

stress from the unknown.
So, I feel a little funny posting this here but here's what's up.... I'm 31 and I never got my drivers license. I know, right? It was just never a big deal, we never had a car growing up and there was always pretty good public transportation. Well...last year my bf convinced me to get my beginners, just a written test, no…

Morning struggle to wake up?
Hi All I just put this as my status but then thought I'd pose the question to a larger audience! For the past week I have been really struggling to get out of bed in the morning, I mean I have to fight to make my body do it, I don' know if it's the darkness outside or what, it happens every year around this time. My…

My First NSV - chocolate!
So, it's kind of a silly thing, but I am a chocoholic, I have been for as long as I can remember. Today at noon I had a big craving for it, so I broke myself off two squares of Lindt 70% dark chocolate and have been breaking myself off yummy tiny pieces throughout the afternoon...it's now 4PM and I still have 3/4 of a…

Walking in snow?
Today I walked 25 minutes to work, through 30cm of unplowed snow the whole way. Certainly this is a lot more difficult than walking on a normal day, how should I log this? No HRM :(

Anyone else?
Ok. This doesn't fit into any category really, I'm just curious... It seems like every single time I book holidays off work, I get sick. Today for example I am less than 4 hours into my vacation time and I have sneezes and sniffles starting, I'm not sick sick or anything (knock on wood) but its just a bizarre thing, it's…

My first juicer...now what?
Hey all... I was just given a juicer with no instructions...and to be honest I don't really know what to do with it! Can I use the ingredients i'd use in a green smoothie in the juicer (and then I wouldn't have the bulk of the smoothie?) Usually I just put spinach, blueberries, apple and a bit of almond milk in the…

Water
I am NOT a good water drinker, not a good drinker in general really, I never have been. I'm probably chronically dehydrated really. This site has helped me a lot, a silly as it sounds checking off every time i've had a glass makes me more aware, I was up to about 6-8 cups a day, which is pretty huge for me.The last two…

How do I support him?
Hi all... Just wondering, how do I best support and encourage my boyfriend in his weight loss journey? I thought I had it figured out but he is feeling very frustrated and down today because there has been no change in the 3 weeks since he's joined MFP with me. He eats healthfully and is eating his allotted calories to…

Anxiety & Exercising
This is a little hard for me but i'm just going to put it out there incase anyone else has experienced it... About 11 years ago I was diagnosed with a panic disorder, we're talking at one point it was really difficult to leave the house! I'm not medicated and have really come a long way over the years, i've reached a point…
