I'm Back!
Hi All, I'm back! I was actively on MFP from 2015 - 2018 and lost about 40 pounds. I continued to practice what I learned here and was very physically active until this past Winter... I'm not sure what happened, but all hell broke loose. I didn't regain all of my weight, but enough so that I am having issues with clothes…

Water and Exercize
Hello! I am well aware of the recommendation about consuming at least 8 cups of water per day and, although there is much controversy about whether this is really necessary, I drink at least this much daily. The question that occurred to me today is the impact of exercise. Is the recommended 8 cups in addition to the water…

Starting light lifting - Weight?
So, I've been doing pretty heavy cardio for about six weeks or so and diligently logging my calorie intake, etc... I lost a fair number of pounds in the first four weeks. About 2 weeks ago I started incorporating some light lifting a few times per week also, as I am looking to tone up as well as lose fat. I am not…

Ezekiel Bread
Hello - My nutritionist is strongly recommending Ezekiel bread and english muffins. I have both and frankly, I don't like the taste. They are barely tolerable with peanut or almond butter. Do any of you have any suggestions for me? What else can I do to mask the taste and texture?
