Anyone elses here have IC?
I was diagnosed about a week ago and I am trying to follow the IC diet plan but I am finding it super hard! I can no longer have yogurt and almost every fruit is off limits, I am really at a loss and looking for suggestions on what to eat. If you happen to have this problem too, I would love to know what you eat daily or…

The afternoon crash...
How do you avoid it? Around 12ish I start craving carbs, carbs, and more carbs... What can I do to keep this from happening? I have been trying different breakfast/ lunch combos but I can't find anything that works very well. For breakfast I normally have 1/2 c greek yogurt, some type of fruit and either 1/4 oatmeal mixed…

Afternoon Snack Suggestions?
I am looking for quick, easy ideas for an afternoon snack. I am an elementary teacher and it has a bit of an impact on my eating schedule. I typically have breakfast around 6ish and take my kiddos to lunch at 10:50 am... By the time I get home around 4:30 I am starving. I tried taking an apple or ceral bar and eating that…

Runners- How do you find races?
I used to know of a website that you could use to search for races, but I have since forgotten the url. Anyone know what I'm talking about or of something similar? TIA

Getting faster?
I completed C25K over the summer and LOVED it! However, I can now run for 30 minutes but I feel like I am super slow. I really don't want a bigger workout time commitment than 40 minutes. So, what can I do to get faster? I currently do 30DS on my nonrun days and am planning to try HIIT a couple days a week in hopes that it…

Heat and Running??
I completed the C25K program about a week ago and I *LOVE* running. However, I am a teacher and recently started back to school. During the summer I ran in the mornings, on an empty stomach, before it was too hot. Now that I'm back at school, I get home around 4ish and hubs and I have supper around 5. It is cool enough to…

Workout timing/ motivation?
I am an elementary school teacher and the school I work at is about an hour from my house. I've had a wonderful summer of working out and I don't want it to fizzle when school starts back next week like it has in the past. A little background info before my question: I get up at 5:15 am to get ready and head out the door…

AM workouts?
I do best when I work out first thing in the morning. This meaning that I literally brush my teeth, put on my shoes and go before I can talk myself out of it. However, I know I need to be drinking at least some water before I workout. I am currently doing the C25K workout and I am finding as I progress that I tend to lose…

Calories in cooked food...
This may sound like a crazy question but I am going to ask it anyway. I know the nutrient value of foods can change when they are cooked but what about calories? For example, if I boil a potato in water with a little salt, wouldn't the end result just be the amount of calories in the potato? I looked up a boiled potato in…

Soy Milk
I am sick of my normal breakfast foods and want to try something different. I love cereal but I can't eat it in the morning because, for whatever reason, I can't do milk in the morning. Do you think soy milk might be okay, and if so, any reccommendations?

Lack of motivation when sick??
I really think I just need to vent; please bear with me! I have endometrisois that is typically well controlled. However, in December I started feeling really awful on a regular basis. I had surgery Dec. 20th to remove most of it and had been feeling great. The past week or so I have headed straight south and I feel awful.…

Canned soup
What kind do you like?

Too much fiber?
After reading TONS of magazines articles about how most people do not get half of the daily amount of reccommeded fiber, I have always worried about not eating enough. However, MFP says I should be getting 16 grams per day and I am almost always over. Should I be concerned about that? Are there side effects for eating too…

Peanut Butter...
What is your favorite kind and why? I love it and eat about 2 tbsp per day. I normally just buy Creamy Peter Pan but I am open to other, hopefully healthier, options. Thanks for any insight you can give! :D

Spaghetti
How do you measure it? I don't have a food scale...

Popping popcorn...
I read somewhere that you can put popcorn in a brown paper bag to air pop it in the microwave. I plan to buy an air popper next time I'm out, but do you know if this works?

Takeout Mexican?
I know it isn't exactly "healthy" but what is your go-to order that isn't too terrible calorie wise? Also, how would you go about determining the calories? My hubby suggested he pick it for supper and I have been working on lesson plans all day and do not want to cook... Any help would be greatly appreciated :smile:
-
Drinking enough water...
I love water but I also drink quite a bit of coffee. Plain Foldgers with nothing added in, can I count that in my daily water calculations? I never have but I had been wondering about it... Also, what are your thoughts on water flavor packets? I usually use about 1 per day...

Joined a BL competition
Hello there! I recently joined a BL team competition at work. I know I need to lose some weight but I am totally not motivated right now. I really regret signing up because I haven't been taking it seriously. I'm scared I will not lose weight and let my team down. So here I am, I know I sound a little pathetic but I can…
