Not new, but I've been gone a while...
Hi everyone! I'm not *technically* new to this site (I've had this account since 2013), but this is the first I've been on here since 2017, so I figured I should reintroduce myself! So I'm 36, and I've struggled with my weight most of my adult life. I'm 5'8, and the lowest weight I've been as an adult was when I was 23/24,…

Nutritional Benefit of grapes
So my cousin told me yesterday that grapes themselves have very little nutritional value, and that to get the full benefits of grapes you should put the whole thing, stems and all, into a Nutribullet and blend them all together. She says all the nutrients are in the stem. This sounds wrong to me, but I searched and I can't…

Not new, but would like more MFP friends :)
I am not new at this, I just don't have very many MFP friends and I would like to have more for more motivation! My name is Dori, I'm 30, I'm 5'8 and 220lbs, trying to get healthy.

So my cousin is having a destination wedding in 2015, so yesterday at Christmas dinner all my aunts and uncles and cousins were discussing the "group diet" they all plan on embarking on Jan 6th. I didn't really join in, because I…

Looking for Clean Eating Friends!
So I'm not new here, but I deleted my old account, because I'm getting nowhere and now I'm making a fresh start with a fresh perspective. I am getting into clean eating and I love it, and I am looking for people who are clean eaters who are interested in sharing recipes, tips, advice, anything! I just want to find people…

Body Fat % ?
Ok, so I am female, 5'8 and 207lbs. My scale says I have 50.5% body fat, which to me seems absurd because it means I have over 100lbs of fat. I have a lot of muscle mass so I just can't believe I have that much body fat, at this weight. I know my bones and organs and the water make up a large percentage of my weight too,…
