Kale Recipes?
Anyone have any good kale recipes? I got a bunch of kale and want to do something different. Thanks! =)

Staying motivated
I am so good at getting motivated for a short period of time. I even produce results and am so proud of myself. Then one thing can throw me off, like a meal, a bad PMS day, a few days that I don't work out, a dinner out or a commercial that gets me craving for bad foods. Before I know it, I am back up 20 lbs! I know this…

Strengthening bad knees
I injured my knee years ago and since then I have not been able to run much before my knee starts giving me problems. I know it's possible to strengthen my knees and run again, so I was wondering if others have come back from a knee injury and what exercises are good for that. I was a runner before and I would like to be a…

fat flush diet
Has anyone tried the fat flush diet? My coworker is doing it and I am thinking of doing it also, but wanted to get other input from any of you who have done it.

vegetarian question
Ok, so I want to start by saying I was taught that the only dumb question is the one you don't ask! So... If you were cooking a meal for vegetarian people, can you use chicken broth in the recipe or does that make it a meat dish/non-vegetarian?

Los Angeles Traffic
Ok, this is not fun and games, and has nothing to do with MFP, but I don't know how to find this out. I am headed to Santa Barbara from Las Vegas on Friday. I have to go on the 210, the 134 and the 101. I asked on FB, but everyone who answered me just said 'terrible!' and not one of them live there. I know it's terrible on…

Plateau and calorie question
I have been at a plateau now for over 2 months and I keep hearing everyone saying to up the calorie intake. I guess it just seemed too backwards to me before but I am willing to do whatever it takes. So what I want to know from all of you who have upped your calories is, what do you set them at? How do I know how many…

Heart rate monitor
Ok, so I am really frustrated. I have plateaued here for 2 1/2 months and can't seem to drop past my current weight. I eat more calories and gain weight, but eat less and stay the same. I have watched my sodium, water intake and think its time I invest in a HRM. I don't have a ton of money to spend on one, (they look like…

No sugar
I am on day 3 of no sugar after 2pm. I have yogurt for breakfast and am letting myself eat fruit in the morning, but none after 2. I am such a sugar junkie that I keep falling and eating tons of dessert when I allow myself a little, so I figure I won't eat sugar unless it is in fruit (or yogurt). It's tough. I see a lot of…

HCG diet
So the sister of my coworker walked in the office today and she has dropped 40 lbs since I saw her last. I asked her what she did and she said the HCG diet drops. I guess you drop 1-2 lbs a day and can only eat a limited amount of calories. Obviously it is healthier to diet and excercise and drop a pound or 2 a week then a…

zumba question
I don't have a HRM and wanted to know what other people put as the closest thing to zumba when entering exercise.

Morning workout people question
I used to work out first thing in the morning and feel fine. Now, maybe because I am over 30, have tried working out first thing and feel nauseous after. This morning I ate a bite of peanut butter right before my workout, but still feel off. I don't want to eat a piece of bread and peanut butter, since that will use most…

Too much sodium!!
Every single day I go way over on my sodium. I don't salt my food (except when I add salt when I cook, but it's minimum) and I find it's almost impossible to go a day without totally blowing it in that area. Mostly, I think, it's from pre-made food or restaurants. I am so blessed that my work pays for lunch out every day…

Calories for levels of 30 Day Shred?
I don't own a HRM and have been guessing the calories burned for the 30 day shred as aerobics or calisthenics. I am now on level 2, but know I burned more on this level than level 1. Is there a general/about number of calories I am burning on each level? I am really pushing myself and am pouring sweat (sorry, I know, nice…

Favorite meal
I don't know if this has been done yet or not, but I thought it would be fun to find out what everyone's favorite healthy meal was, so we have more options. Mine is easy: Baked boneless, skinless chicken breast with Lawrey's seasoning salt Asparagus baked with a little olive oil and garlic salt Brown rice (with chicken…

New to website
I just joined this website about a week ago and am so impressed with it. I love that I can keep track of everything and just found the posting board. It's amazing how many people are on here and how much support there is. I have 2 weddings to go to this year, one that I am the maid of honor and the other that will have…
