Incorporating FRUIT in your diet... tips and/or recipes?
I'm finding it difficult to incorporate fruits into my diet. Veggies, no problem (I love them!) I'm pretty picky when it comes to fruit... I don't like any kind of melon, no cherries, no peaches, I'm allergic to bananas... any ideas OTHER than smoothies? I'm trying to go dairy free as well.

Friends and Support needed! (Isagenix)
Hi MFPers! I'm definitely needing some accountability... I've been with MFP for years now, and have been off and on/my weight fluctuating from 15-30 pounds repeatedly gained and lost.

I've heard of this before, and heard of many different variations... adding lemon juice, cinnamon, etc. but does anyone else have any experience with it and is there any real big benefit? Can you…

Is there such thing as too much protein?

Once I have my regular meal at night (which includes a lean meat such as chicken or fish) I'm usually close to 100 g of protein which is 40 g over what…

Isagenix Friends & Support?
I've been using MFP for years now (the classic yo-yo dieter) and last month, I decided to try Isagenix to really kick myself in the butt and maintain this as a lifestyle change.

I keep going over my recommended cholesterol for the day after I eat two eggs in the morning -- I don't understand why this is bad? I thought eggs were generally good for you?

Elliptical purchase help?
Me and my husband are thinking about purchasing an elliptical and bench/weights. However, the more I look into ellipticals, the more I see HORRIBLE reviews (wobbly, squeaky, breaks, etc.) - it seems I can't find one machine that's reliable under $3500. Is this really the going rate for a reliable and sturdy machine? I…
