Anyone else with crohn's?
I have had troubles for quite a while already, always dismissed, just take a pill and it will be solved, until I ended up in the hospital a week ago, dehydrated, sodium-potassium levels too low. Finally I was send to a specialist and now after all these years we know crohn's disease is causing all my troubles. I would like…

Support? What support? Where?
So, not all of us use MFP to pump up the muscle volume or to lose a great amount of weight. I, for example, use it to get on track with my diet, to improve my health drastically, since I got autoimmune issues and most likely progesterone deficiency. But as soon as I mention something about it at my profile I see the number…

This will be my year! What about you?
About 20 years ago my sports instructors told me I had the perfect body for body building. Not only am I blessed with fast growing muscles, I also got the body of a Neanderthal, shorter, but quite massive. What has become of it all? In the end I gained and was well over 100 kilos and my therapists told me I should start…

Quiting with smoking
I smoke, I am what is called a typical habit and stress smoker. When I get stressed I can't eat, but can light almost 10 cigarettes in one go. I really want to quit tho, but then again I am afraid I might gain even more, not to mention the withdrawal symptoms. My husband stopped last year and only had mentally some issues,…

Keto and workouts
I have been on keto for a while already, but recently I really started to work out. I just noticed how ever it's hard to hold on to, like I got less energy with this diet. I already tried to take afterwards whey protein with half a teaspoon of raw honey, but is there something I could take before to get a bit more energy…

Updates comments and stuff
Well it is nice to know someone commented on my status updates, but do I really need to get all these emails telling me that not only me, but tons of others who commented on someone else's update as well? Pleaseeee is there a way to shut it off? I hardly can find any real important email back between all these needless…

I wonder how many of us...
I wonder how many of us will manage to lose some weight during the holidays. It seems like the only thing which is losing weight and gets a few sizes smaller is our wallets and the bank accounts...

This is so frustrating!
I did a fat fast and I lost 4 pounds, but then my hormones make a shift and I gain 4 pounds. I managed to loose 3 pounds of it again, but then something gave me a reaction and I gain 3 pounds again. How can I ever loose 20 pounds if this goes on like this? All I loose come back for some odd reason, making me feel it has no…

Any good movies?
My husband and I were planning to buy some DVDs for the upcoming dark days. But would you believe it? Now we are looking for some good DVDs we can't think of any... Do you know some good ones? What are your favorites? I don't like very gory horror and juicy love stories. Thanks in advance :smile:

When we got to travel here, we are in the car for hours and I need to take something with me to eat and drink, but up till now I have been taking low carb bars, which got quite an amount of carbs anyway (lowest I found here was 16 gr. a bar). Too much for my comfert + they are extremely expensive. Does any of you know a…

Totally off topic: windows 8
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it! Ever since I got a new computer with windows 8 I got nothing but troubles with the internet. The pages keep on loading, but simply don't open. My hub has windows 7 and on his laptop internet runs like a high speed train, but I can wait for ages to get certain pages opened, UGHHH! Anyone…

Keto diet, perform less
I am on a keto diet for about 4 weeks now and I have noticed I can't perform less then like I used to. When I go for a walk in the hills for example, I notice my legs feel heavy and naggy quite rapidly. Does anyone recognize this and does anyone know what to do about it? This is my food intake: 1586 kcal Daily Calorie…

The 'sweetest' things the partner says about the weightloss.
I have been way much heavier before I ended up at MPF, when I started I was 102 kg (appr. 225 lbs), so I lost quite an amount already. My husband as charming as he is has this neat little compliments to show me he likes my weightloss successes: "I can see you lost quite some weight, the lump next to me in bed is smaller!…

When I am done with the weightloss I pormise myself...
... a belly button piercing! Have been thinking of it for long, but it doesn't look cool in a little 'muffin' Did you promise yourself also something to look forward to, like a make over or so?

Question about vegetable juice
I just don't get the vegetables by eating. I know I should add more to my diet, it just doesn't happen. I have been calculating a cup of kale, cucumber and a cup of spinach got 10 g. of carbs already. But does a juice made of it got the same amount of carbs?

Why isn't shopping mentioned in the exercise section?
After all many of us women burn most of our calories with it :grumble:

Questions about Intermittent Fasting
I have heard it a lot about lately and would like to ask the following: Can everyone do it? How often should it be done a week / month? What is the best time frame and when in the day? At least for you... What are the pros and cons? And please no reactions about how stupid I am. I know I am :smile:

Long time favorite
Ever since half way my 20s she used to be a great example for me, but when things went well I just screwed up myself with quiting the gym. Now about 20 years later I am looking at her pictures again. Toned up, but still very feminine. Maybe this time I should truly finish where I started 20 years ago!

Keto diet recipes/meal plans?
Hello, I am a Paleor for quite a while already, but gained anyway. Too much calories and too much carbs. Since 3 weeks I tried the keto diet, seems to work, but I have no idea how to make a proper meal plan with enough variation and end up pretty much eating the same every day. Does anyone know some sites with good…
