Back at it after years! Seeking VEGAN friends for encouragement :)
Hello; After falling off the MFP wagon I became vegan for ethical reasons. That cruelty free and far better lifestyle rewarded me with almost 50 lbs of lost weight just be being aware of what I am consuming, cutting out the "fake" food, and eating based on my spirit not my taste buds. After a year and a half my weight loss…

Why Would You Keep Your Food Diary Private?
Hi hi; When I first joined MFP I kept my food/exercise diary private. One of my friends advised me that by making it open people would be able to give more constructive compliments and advice. It's true! I never reazlized how few vegetables I ate until every time I added one people were patting me on the back for getting…

How Your Childs Eating Effects Your Eating
Hello; My Son is 4 in March and has always been a finicky eater. There isn't a fruit I can name that he will eat, he won't even drink fruit juice. The only meat he'll eat is processed chicken nuggets or take out hamburgers. He will eat vegetables occasionally, but that comes and goes. He pretty much lives on cereals and…

Which Chef or Cooking Show Would you LOVE to dig into?
Ok so my Husband says I'm addicted to torturing myself with food porn. Watching The Food Network and DrOoLiNg over the wonderful and delicious looking creations I will never have a chance to be with (much like watching real porn lol). I'm sure I must not be the only one with this odd affliction, so my question is if you…

To my fellow Canadians Beware of American Calorie Counts
I'm sure lots of you have figured this out by now but just incase I thought I'd put up a post. Sadly it would appear our neighbours South of the boarder have more calories to deal with when they eat out, and even with some store bought items. Example I found today: Arby's Jr Roast Beef U.S 210calories Canada190calories.…

What do you eat when you're SICK
Hello; For the past 3 days I've been sick sick sick. Head pounding, ear splitting, throat swollen shut and painful sick. I've tried eating but a lot of the time I end up feeling like I'm going to throw up afterwards. I tried eating toast since it normally helps when my stomach is upset and it scratched up my already sore…

Hello; OK so after going over (and not by a little bit) the past 3 days today I watched what I ate carefully and even rejected a friends homemade chocolate chip cookies :( I went for a 40 minute walk with my Son which earned an unexpected 198 calories. Tonight I decided on 2 piece of salmon, rice and added brussel sprouts…

What do you do when you just have no motivation left?
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has gotten into one of these slumps, my biggest problem is getting out of them. Once I tumble down hill I normally spend far too long wallowing in the mess at the bottom before climbing back up. 2 weeks ago I was really sick, didn't want to eat anything. On top of that I was doing…

Remember You Can Break Up Your Exercise Time
I have read a lot of people who are really discouraged they won't have enough time in the day to do a full 30 minutes of exercise. Keep in mind that you DON'T have to do it all at once. If you can get in a 10 minute walk to the mailbox and back with your child in a stroller, walk a grocery store for 10min (not sampling…

Is there such a thing as too much water?
Hi; I've been doing my best to cut out diet pop. I don't drink a can until I've drank at least 8 cups of water. I have it cut down to 2 cans of pop a day from my normal 6+. I find the water makes me far less snackish too. Somedays I've had 20 cups of water. Is there any harm in drinking too much water??

Thank You Those Who Share Food They Enter
I just really want to thank those people who take the effort to enter foods they've eaten properly and then generously share them with everyone on MFP. It's a huge (WONDERFUL) change from WW online where after most meals I had to carry an armful of food down to the computer and enter it all.

Nutriton for Cup/Bowl of Noodles if you don't drink broth
Ok I LUV Mr. Noodles Spicy Chicken and other ramen noodle bowls. They seem really high in calories and sodium. HOWEVER I don't drink the broth. I assume most of the sodium would be in that. So anyone know how I'd figure out what the "nutrition" of just the noodles would be???

Is it fair to say DDR is = General Dancing?
Hello; I've been doing some reading online and it says the calorie counter for Dance Dance Revolution is actually pretty low compared to how much you really do burn. So is it fair for me to put DDR as general dancing??

Dance Dance Revolution
Hello; Would love to set up DDR as an exercise option however I don't know how to find out how many calories are burnt. Anyone know how?? Thanks

A new recruit from the WW online
Hello; Was doing WW online, then they up and changed everything! Any books I have, my points calculator, all useless!!! I'm not paying for anything that figures it can take advantage of me every so often and make me spend a fortune. Also sick of the discrimination that since I'm not paying to go to meetings I cannot…
