It says: "You could be on the cover of Fitness magazine! Plus win a vacation for two to Hawaii! Enter by showing us your best pic and…

What's For Dinner?
I'm debating on having a chicken patty, broccoli, and cheese cubes, but I'm still not sure. What are you guys having for dinner? Maybe I can get some ideas.

Warm Weather Recipies
Since it's so extrememly cold outside, I've been needing some warm weather recipies. I had a little bit of chili yesterday, but it was way too spicy for my taste. I was thinking we could share warm-weather foods on here. I've been needing some with all this cold and hot soup, etc. just sounds yummy. I'll try to find the…

Sodium...Help!
This is more like a rant, because I'm super ticked off. A few years ago on the news, they're like "watch your calorie intake!" Now they say "watch your sodium intake!" It's driving me INSANE! How do they expect us to watch our sodium intake when there's too much sodium in the stinkin' food??? And now the rants over. And…

Extra Gum
I just got a pack of the new dessert delights Mint Chocolate Chip. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm hoping it's good. What kind of gum to do you guys like?

Homemade Pizza
I am really craving pizza right now, but I'm going to hold out until tomorrow. I have some pitas that I can make myself a mini pizza with. Yesterday I made one and I used Little Caesars pizza sauce, but I don't have access to that anymore. And I used shredded mozerella for cheese. It was decent. My question is what do you…

Snacks
It seems like I snack a lot. Right now I'm eating cottage cheese and cheese bites. I haven't really tried cottage cheese before now, but it's pretty good. What do you guys like to snack on?

What am I doing wrong?
Hey! I began logging my food back in early December, but let's forget that part. I've been logging my food AND exercising since Jan 1. I weighed 150 and I now weigh 149 (as of today). I don't get why I've just lost one pound in a little over four weeks. It's frustrating. Do you guys have any advice? Foods you eat or…

Food Diaries
What is everyone's title on their food diaries? I need some ideas for the titles on mine. It currently is: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks. I kind of want to change it a little bit, because I usually get hungry around seven or eight, but I don't exactly know where I want to put it (it usually ends up in snacks). So, what…

Pita vs. Bread
First question, where can I get pitas (I believe that's what they're called) and how much do they cost? Second, which is better for you? I'm assuming the pitas, but how filling are they? Third, what kind of foods makes for a filling sandwich or pita? Thanks! :happy:

Water Weight
Today when I was eating lunch, I drank like at least three glasses of water with it. I felt so full (fat) with all that water. Does water weight affect your weight? Like if you drink too much, will it make the scale go up? I know that's probably a basic question, but I don't get it. I don't guessmy brain knowledge is…

Rewards
I wasn't sure what to put on the topic. Anyway, on the last day of January I took my measurements and then took a long hot relaxing bath to start off the new year. I decided that I'm going to do that on the last day of each month, as a reward, perhaps? I was just wondering if anyone else 'rewards' themselves every so often…

Do you have this problem?
A few days ago, I was looking through old jeans and skirts. I've worn anywhere from a size 7 (definately snug) to a size 10-11 (comfortable). I was told that I would never get back into a 7. About a year and a half ago, I was 128 and I still had a little tummy and sides. Then I was told you're too skinny you need to gain…

Cardio DVDs
What cardio DVDs have you all tried that you like? I've been trying to find some, but I'm not exactly sure what to get. Suggestions?

Weight on exercise log?
Whenever I go in to log my exercise, is there a way to get the weight/set off? Here's an example of what it would say: Exercise set rep/sets weight/set pushups 1 20 ? Why would you need weights to do pushups? Anyway, I was just wondering if I could take that off. I don't use weights much. But I add things like pushups,…

Workout Calendars?
Hey, guys! I just finished making my workout calendar for the month of January. Basically, I've gotten workouts and cardio ideas from magazines. I go by how many days it says to do them, and reps, etc, and I fit everything into a calendar page that I've made. It seems cool to me to be able to mark a day off, the feel-good…

Yoplait Diet
I was reading a magazine earlier and came across an ad from Yoplait...you know, the yogurt. :laugh: It says you can lose 5 pounds in 2 weeks and you're supposed to replace breakfast and lunch with Yoplait Light, a grain, and a fruit. For dinner, you're supposed to eat a sensible dinner rich in protein and nonfat dairy. The…

Magazines
Do you subscribe to any fitness or cooking magazines? I do and they seem to help somewhat.

That was a BAD idea
I decided to go to Sonic for lunch. As the title says, BAD idea. I've used all of my calories (everything except protein) for the day already! After I logged my food, I now have -130 cal, -12 carbs, -15 fat, and -1,285 sodium. One meal can seriously ruin your whole day. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision to go and I…

What's your plan?
What's your plan for keeping the hoilday weight off? I'm going to try to eat better. Exercising wise, I'm going to be strength training until the week of Thanksgiving, then cardio hard core.

Biggest Loser Game?
Hey everyone! The last time I was on here, people had a competition on here, basically like The Biggest Loser. We would have teams and weigh in each week. Ring a bell? Anyway, I was just wondering if anybody was doing that on MFP still. Thanks!

I'm back...for the 3rd time
Hey everyone! I'm not sure if you rememeber me, but this is my third time back. Now that it's summer, I think I'm going to stick with exercising. I'm working on making a routine that I can stick to. Wish me luck. :)

Substitue for Pancake Syrup?
I'm going to fix pancakes in the morning, which are about 200 calories. The syrup I have is 240 and I really don't use much syrup anyway. Any ideas of something I can put on my pancakes?

Hey, I'm Back!!
Hello everyone! It's me, chickadee10 with the new username of chickadee2010. I started here last December, then quit in May or so when my life started to get a little stressful. But I'm back again. I'm down 5 pounds. Yeah, I know that's not very much, but with my schedule, it seems to be lol. So how are all my old friends…
