Keeping things easy
Hi Everyone! I am recently 'back in the game' and am serious about my weight loss goals, thanks to MFP. Question: Do you any of you have a way to keep all of your meal and snack ideas handy for meal planning time?

Dukan diet help
Hi All, I've been with MFP since December, and while I have managed to keep some weight off (which is awesome), it is slowly creeping back up on me (not so awesome). So with my wedding only 3 months away, I need to lose some 10-12 pounds, which I think is doable. It's time I get back on track. Now, since I'm not the…

Take 2 T of this mix and add 1 T FF vanilla yogurt in a mug and microwave....I had high hopes.........but sadly, it was so gross!!! Anybody else have a delicious brownie in a mug…

Just for fun
I found this on sparkpeople.com and just wanted to share it here with all of you at MFP--it's just for fun to see the equivalent of what you've lost so far/want to lose. So far, I've lost an ostrich egg, what about the rest of you? 1 pound = a Guinea Pig 1.5 pounds = a dozen Krispy Kreme glazed donuts 2 pounds = a rack of…

Newbie Here, having a problem
Hi All! I tried WW about a year ago, and it worked great for me, however, I gained the weight back and then some. This time around, I would like to try something that doesn't involve using points, and rather uses calories instead. Sounds a lot simpler to me, plus, it's free!! I also noticed that MFP has a great support…
