whats in your fridge?
What three things are ALWAYS in your fridge? ( can be in the cupboard or freezer) just curious as to what your top 3 things are that you always want on hand!
what is the best site to calculate tdee, bmr, etc?
Hi everyone! I am still a newbie to this whole MFP, working out, eating right, counting calories etc. and like many newbies, the more we read, the more confused we get ( at least I do and I know a lot of others do too by reading all these boards). TDEE-20%, eat exercise calories back...dont eat exercise calories back...you…

a lil help for my friends
so I have been reading sooo many posts today and it appears the hot topic of the day is "people are hungry." What advice can you share that you do when you are feeling hungry and just want or need that feeling to go away? For me, I drink water. I find that I often mistake hunger for thirst ( who knew??) If I still feel…
what was your "a-HA!" moment?
Everyone has a story....what's yours? What one moment made you say "a-HA! I need to do something about this and get healthy!" Mine was when I bought some clothes online ( because I was too lazy to get dressed and thought ordering a pizza and shopping online was the ultimate Saturday!) Even tho they were the size I bought…
what is the biggest thing you have noticed ...
Since you started this journey to a healthier you, what major thing have you noticed? Mine would be that I sleep MUCH better and that I can actually drink 64 oz of water and live to tell about it! :)

coffee question
Good Morning MFP family! I love my coffee. Black coffee- no cream, no sugar just good ole plain black coffee. When I do my food diary I am seeing basically the same thing with different nutritional values. For example: coffee-Brewed from Grounds 1 cup has 2 calories ( this doesnt have the * so that means it was not added…
Just calories ok?
In my food diary, is it ok to track just calories or should I track other things as well? I started planning my day tracking lots of things but they never were all in the "green"- some I had too much of but other things I didnt have enough. It gave me a headache so hoping I can just track calories and call it a day?
thank you!
Thank you all for sharing such amazing, inspirational success stories and showing pictures! Sooo many great stories and I am looking forward to the day when I become one! And I will! MARK MY WORDS!! :)
I get the eating part, it's the exercise I struggle with
I dont know if its because my child is a "4 legged, spoiled baby boy kitty" that sleeps all day so that makes ME sleepy or if I am just plain lazy...period! But I can not get motivated to exercise! I know, start small... baby steps...and I did! 5 days ago! I have been taping Christian Fitness workout that is on every day…

:laugh: I cant believe how excited I am finding this site! WOOHOO!! I have mentioned previousy that I have tried and tried to lose the (MUCH) weight but nothing ever worked, then I come across this site and all the support, success stories, how easy it seems to navigate around and make new friends, everything I need at the…
to weigh or not to weigh...
Good day! On my first post last night, I mentioned I am "new to this" therefore I will probably have many questions. I have been getting many answers by reading the message boards and appreciate all the advice! First of all, what does NSV mean? and what does it mean when people "bump for later" a recipe or a list of health…
40 something and trying not to give up on losing weight!
<sigh> ok here I go...AGAIN! Seems like I am living the movie Groundhog Day except the same thing happens year after year instead of day after day. Each year I tell myself THIS IS MY YEAR! I WILL LOSE WEIGHT (and boyyyy do I have a lot to lose!) and well, I dont need to tell you how that ends because here I am :( I somehow…
