Plateau Support Group?
I'm VERY discouraged at the moment... I've hit a plateau and I've been gaining and losing the same pound over and over again for 2 weeks. I know a lot of other people are going through the same thing, and I know how discouraging it is. Do some of you want to get together over the next couple of weeks and form an…

I think he's lying so he can eat junk food...
My fiance claims that he gets indigestion every time we eat whole wheat pasta. He wants switch back to white pasta. Do you guys think that something about wheat pasta could really be giving him indigestion, or do you think he's just being difficult (like me LOL)?

Can I bake chicken in a can of enchilada sauce?
My pantry is a little bare, and I don't feel like going to the store. I've got chicken breasts, brown rice, and enchilada sauce. I was thinking about putting the rice in the bottom of a casserole dish, putting the chicken on top of that, adding a can of chicken broth and another cup or so of water, then topping the whole…

Random Topic: When do being supportive go too far?
I'm trying to be a supportive friend, but I'm worried that I'm actually just being an enabler. One of my dearest friends (let's call her L) has been in a "long distance relationship" with a guy (we'll call him C)who has been deployed to Iraq. They dated years ago and he dumped her abruptly. They reconnected via Facebook…

If it wasn't for this site, I would be eating RIGHT NOW!
I had a long night, and I think it might be a pretty long day too. If it wasn't for myfitnesspal.com, I would be mindlessly munching on something right now. There is not a single doubt in my mind that if I did not have access to this site, I would look to food as a distraction and comfort. I would be sitting in front of…

I want to start drinking green tea!
I just brewed and drank my first ever cup of green tea. I'm trying my best to break through a weight loss plateau, and I've been doing research online, including previous forum posts, all morning. It turns out green tea has tons of benefits, including increasing the body's metabolic rate by around 4%. Everything that I've…

Heat Exhaustion?
So, yesterday, I pushed myself a little too hard and got heat exhausation. It's not hard here in south Mississippi, yesterday the heat index was in triple digits all day. I had blurry vision, throwing up, high fever, the whole deal. I felt pretty awful all last night, but today I feel great and ready to go again. My…

I need quinoa recipes!
Does anyone have a good quinoa recipe? I bought some the other day but I'm at a loss for what to do with it. I've found a few recipes online but I'd like to make something that someone else has tried and enjoyed. Thanks!

What the WHAT?!
For breakfast I'm having an apple and a tablespoon of peanut butter, and I'm already over my sugar for the day! Ridiculous.

I just want to complain...
I'm having a "health issue" that requires me to drink a lot of cranberry juice right now. My fiance went to the store for me and got two 16 oz bottles of cranberry juice to get me through the day. I had half a bottle of Minute Maid cranberry juice cocktail this morning. It was 150 calories and 29 sugars. 29 SUGARS! That's…

Is it still breakfast when I eat it at noon?
So, I have a job where I'm allowed to set my own hours, as long as I meet my production goals. I didn't rest well last night, and I stayed in bed until almost 10:00 this morning. By the time I had gotten up, showered, gotten dressed, and got ready to have my "breakfast," it was after 11:00. Lunch time. What do you guys do…

Bride-to-be support group
I'm getting married in August and I have some pretty aggressive fitness and weight loss goals to get me ready for my wedding day. Are there any other brides-to-be who would be interested in starting a motivation group?

Low sugar probiotic yogurt?
I've been eating fat free Activia yogurt at least once, sometimes twice, a day. The problem is, each container has 12 sugars, and my goal for the day is 24. Even if I don't eat anything else sweet the entire day, the days when I have 2 yogurts I go over my sugar. I feel like I need a yogurt with probiotics. I feel much…

All I think about is food...
When I wake up in the morning, all I can think about is having breakfast. Then I immediately start thinking about what I'm going to eat for lunch. Then I spend the whole afternoon thinking about what's for dinner. Then I spend all night thinking about what I'm going to eat tomorrow. It's not even that I'm hungry... But…

Adipex?
Has anyone else been prescribed Adipex? I started it last Friday and I've been getting really good results. I'm interested to know how it's worked for other people and some of the long term effects.

What do you do when you have just a couple of bites?
At lunch today, I ate the salmon off the top of 2 of Matt's baked salmon rolls. All in all, it had to be less than an ounce of food... It was literally two bites. How do you guys measure stuff like that in your calorie counter?

how far is too much under my calorie goal?
Since I've been doing South Beach I've been at least 400 calories under my goal every day. The days I work it I'm usually over 700 calories over. However, I'm not feeling hungry at all, and I've been way way over my protein every day. My question is: how low is too low?

South Beach Phase 1
I just bought the book and a cook book today, and I'm planning to start South Beach Phase 1 on Monday. I know the first two weeks are supposed to be pretty tough. Any advice from South Beach veterans? Thanks!

Keeping my New Year's Resolution this year
Hi everyone! I've been on myfitnesspal.com for a couple of days now. I started with the iPhone app but after I took a look at the website I've been using it more than anything else. My New Year's Resolution (like everyone else's, I'm sure) is to lose weight and get back into a size 6. I have a looong loooong way to go, but…
