Recurring back of knee pain
I started running -both on the treadmill and outside- two months ago. I took it slow, as I am not much of a runner. I slowly lengthened my jogs from 10 minutes to 20-25. However, two weeks ago I felt great and I ran for 30min on the treadmill two days in a row. On the second day, I started to feel a sharp pain in the back…

Tofu stir-fry suggestions
Hello! I just bought my first tofu block (unisoya, soft) yesterday and I tried to pan-fry a little piece today for lunch, rolling it in breadcrumbs and soy sauce before to make a crust. I dipped it in primavera pasta sauce and it was AMAZING! I never thought I would like tofu!!! Now I plan on making a stir-fry tomorrow for…

Honey or maple syrup?
I usually sweeten my oatmeal and desserts with honey. However, I also heard maple syrup was a good white sugar substitute so I was thinking of adding it to my oatmeal tomorrow morning instead of honey but WHOA, I noticed that is has a LOT more carbs than honey! A tablespoon of my liquid honey has 17g of carbs and the same…

Coconut milk, healthy fat?
I just made baked banana and coconut oatmeal this morning. It was amazing. But I just realized that coconut milk is very high in fat (and calories). I used 1/2 cup of light coconut milk and that gave me 80 calories and 8 grams of fat! So I was wondering if coconut milk is a good source of fat, kind of like avocado and…

Lower belly pooch
Hey there! I am in need of some advice... I have already lost some weight (about 4 pounds, but I am happy because my starting weight was already quite healthy for my height: 5'4", 120 pounds) and inches have gone off my waist and butt. My stomach has become flatter and I can see some abs starting to show up slightly…

Lots of love for oatmeal
I recently started eating oatmeal for breakfast. I used to make myself a fruit smoothie with greek yogurt and a little bit of granola but the granola was very high in sugar and calories. And I would always get hungry around 10 (I eat breakfast at 8 or so). I then would jump on any food I saw, often bad snacks like chips...…

Insanely gooey butterless flourless dark chocolate cookies

Only egg whites, icing sugar, dark chocolate chips, unsweetened cocoa powder and a little bit of corn starch. And that's it!…

Frozen pizza - trick to enjoy without overindulging
I thought I would share my little trick about at home frozen pizza. When I want to indulge, I usually eat 1/4 of a thin crust pizza and fill the rest of my plate with veggies. However, I used to heat the whole pizza and then I had leftovers and would end up eating them the next morning/day, thus overindulging and then feel…

9 weeks progress (with pics)!
I have been on MFP for 9 weeks now, eating right (while still having cheat date meals with the boyfriend) and exercising 4-5 times a week. Here is my little progress! I know it isn't much, but I am not really looking to lose weight, more to slim and tone up for our summer trip to costa rica <3 So yeah, I am still quite…
