Help-Seeking 450 calorie dinner
I need some ideas for a nice 450 cal dinner for myself. I'm getting a little tired of eating the same things over and over and over. 450 is close to what I have left for today. I don't think I'm going to log my "cleaning, light to moderate" minutes back since it's been here and there and sporatic...nothing major or…

Now v. Then Challenge... EYE OPENING!
I've never started a "Challenge" thread before, so I hope this works!! Today marks my 41st day on my diet and my 41st day on MFP. I've lost 15lbs. I feel good. I'm not as tired (during the day) as I used to be, I sleep better at night (when the baby decides to let me, that is) and I know it's because of the changes I've…

Herbalife Confession...
Ok. Confession time. I bought some Herbalife. I used it long ago and lost weight while on the program, but back then I didn't know how to eat right either and gained it back after I couldn't afford it anymore...bad/abusive break-up depression and stress didn't help that weight gain any either. I knew I wanted to try it…

Belly Fat...please help me

I have a massive fatty over hang...not your typical muffin top, but maybe a muffin top that has exploded and drooped over like that flubber snot looking stuff my kids get at the toy store. If I wanted to, I could…

Deleted post
So I had posted a thread in the fun and games forum with no intentions to harm or poke fun at anybody specific, other than myself of course. The title clearly stated it was a thread for "fat jokes". If anybody was going to take offense to it, they didn't have to click on it or ready any of the jokes. I started it off with…

Protein and Fiber - How much is TOO much?
Can you REALLY have too much protein and fiber on a daily basis?? How much is too much? I never meet the numbers MFP has set for me...I'm always over quota on those two!! but I NEED them! I can't **** without the fiber, and the protein curves chocolate cravings (esp. when TOM comes to visit). Is it really THAT bad to go…

I don't have a scale for that kind of stuff. and sometimes I'm not always in possesion of a measuring cup to measure appropriate portion sizes. Question of the day? Just how many peices of homemade deer jerky can I…

So I put several assorted flavors…

Food Storage? (chopped/sliced vegetables)
What is the best way to store fresh chopped and/or sliced vegatables in the refrigerator? In the past I'd chop or slice it and put in in a sealed container, but after about a full day or so it's on it's way south. What am I doing wrong? My frig is at it's standard setting as far as coldness goes...I'd prefer not to lower…

Should you eat when you're hungry? HELP
BEFORE: I wouldnt eat breakfast...I'd have a high calorie snack or two and call it good. I most often would skip lunch, again grabbing anything out of the cupboard to snack on. I'd would snack in the afternoon as well. I'd fix supper and eat way too much, and by bed time I've got the munchies again so off to the cupboards…

Bowling Binging... freakin out
I bowl on a womens league every Wednesday night and this will be my first bowling night on my diet. I am freakin out about supper. I have to leave at 5:30 and I don't fix supper at home before I go, so I'm not in total control over my calories or options for that matter. I've tried finding the foods I would eat in the data…
