Dairy Free Yum!
As someone who is lactose intolerant, I appreciate all of the wonderful new dairy free alternatives that are available. My current fave: Ben & Jerry's dairy-free ice cream! All the flavors are wonderful, and if you didn't know it didn't have dairy to start with, you would never be able to tell! What are some of your…

Pop Tarts for breakfast? For shame!
Just had a coworker try to shame me for eating Pop Tarts for breakfast. He knows I'm trying to lose weight and told me I was using up my treat for an empty calorie breakfast. I told him that actually I had prelogged my food for the day and that, far from not getting a "treat" I was having 2 girl scout cookies later. He had…

Need some IRL friends in DFW Midcities
Looking for some fitness friends to meet up with IRL in the DFW Midcities area. Would love to meet up at a local park or something to walk and get to know each other. MFP is great, but real friends are better and hard to find. Send me a FR with a message if you're in the area and want a friend!

Is there a new In Place of a Road Map?
I had the link to the old one saved in my email, but when I tried to use it nothing came up. I searched for In Place of a Road Map and all the posts MFP brought up looked like gibberish with weird symbols, letters, and things so the posts were unreadable. Can anyone point me to the correct thread, if there is one?

What's your Christmas dinner?
I love cooking special meals for the holidays, and I try to change it up a little every year so we aren't eating the same thing every year. This year I'm making individual beef wellingtons with Enlish creamed peas and herb roasted fingerling potatoes. I haven't figured out dessert yet but it will probably be something…

Let's hear it for the Texas folks!
Although I am not originally from Texas, it has been my home for many years now. Anyone on here from Texas, I would love to hear from you! Any everyone else, I would love to hear from you too! I promise, I don't discriminate against anyone :wink:

Need Cardio workout suggestions
Hello, this is my first post to this group. I gather you guys are more weight training than cardio, but I have a lot of fat to burn off so I would like to get some ideas for what would work for me. I feel lost on what is the most beneficial. I can't run due to bad knees (I re-injured them doing a 5k in January and 30DS)…

Old School Inspiration
I changed my profile pic for Throwback Thursday, but looking at the pic I realized that even back then I thought I was fat. Obviously I was not. So, I am going to see this as a positive inspiration picture. I think sometimes we focus on the negative pictures and images to "motivate" us and there is absolutely nothing wrong…

Scale trials
Ok, I want to get one of those fancy thing-a-mijigs that you stand on and it tells you your weight and BF% or BMI or whatever...I'm wondering if there is a certain brand or model I should get or if they are all pretty much the same. Thanks in advance for the recommendations!

I need some accountability friends
I have been on MFP since the beginning of the year, and I love that I have already lost 10 lbs! However, I am TERRIBLE when it comes to being active, and I need some people to help keep me accountable. As in, you know that I am going to work out on Mon, Wed, and Fri (just an example) and check in with me to make sure I am…

Legs!
That's what I miss the most about my old body and the part I am most looking forward to getting back in shape! I used to have killer legs, ya'll. Seriously, far and away the best part of my body and now they are all lumpy and sad. :sad: So, I put it to the rest of you: What part of your body are you most looking forward to…

Awww crap, I killed it!
Soooo, it seems like every time I post on a thread, it suddenly dies. I know I can't be the only thread murderer out there, so all you killers please stand up!

Starving
It is so alarming and sad to see someone on this site, with access to people who have a lot of wisdom when it comes to weightloss, who are still starving themselves thinking that is the way they will lose weight. I saw someone on here who is only eating around 400 calories per day and has their max calories set to 900.…

Worst "healthy" restaurant food
Ok, so I just had a friend tell me they ate a salad for lunch that put them over their entire calorie allotment for the day and then I saw that Chili's new roasted corn guacamole appetizer is a whopping 1180 calories!:huh: It seems we are constantly being sabotaged by horrible bad-for-you food masquerading as "healthy"…

Need Vitamin/Supplement suggestions
Hey all, I just wanted to know what some good vitamin/supplements would be to just overall give me good energy and possibly help speed up my metabolism. I don't want diet pills, I just want some good suggestions for things that might be helpful for energy levels and/or weight loss. Thanks!
