In need of VEGAN BREAKFAST IDEAS!
Hi all, What are you vegan/plant-based peeps eating for breakfast?! On my day off it's not an issue because I have time to make stuff. What I'm looking for are work morning solutions - something I can have prepped and ready to go that I can just grab on my way out the door. I get up at 4am, so there won't be any making of…

I've started telling my daughters I'm beautiful
Lovely quick little read to start your day: http://offbeatmama.com/2012/11/telling-daughters-im-beautiful "They teach me everything. They are babies and they teach me what it means to be a person... They have never doubted how wonderful I am. They have never doubted my beauty. How confusing it must have been for them to…

I'm asking for your prayers tonight, please.
This isn't about weight loss, but it is about support, and it didn't seem right to put it in "chit chat and games". Apologies if anyone dislikes that I posted this here. But I am in need of support. And I'm asking here because there are so many strong, supportive, incredible people here who have overcome obstacles of every…

Looking for low cal biscottie recipe!
I am hooked on these "Irene's Biscotti" cookies I get at Whole Foods. They're 20 cals each, low in sodium, sugar, and all natural. So I want to try and duplicate them (or make something similar) because they're a bit expensive! I love them because they taste really light and crispy, and kinda meringue-y (they only use egg…

Readers: Any Fiction Reading Suggestions?
Give me your fiction suggestions please! Looking for a new book to read... and I would love to hear your suggestions, on books you've read and liked, or are reading right now. Doesn't have to be a new book, and if you could say what kind of book it is, or briefly what it's about that would be helpful. I don't really do…

How can I find out if he's single?!
I have a wee mini crush on someone I work with. I don't know if he's married, or in a relationship, or single and available. I'd like to know so that I can (appropriately and subtly) flirt with him, or NOT flirt with him and therefore not make a fool of myself. So how can I find out without asking him, or asking anyone…

Nighttime Beauty Cream, Babes?
So I was putting my "night cream" on my face just now, thinking that I really don't like this brand I just bought and I wish I knew what other ladies were using on their faces at night. Then I realized I know exactly where to find a bunch of gorgeous women who'll take my poll: Right here! So what do you use on your face…

Food weight vs. volume: Eye openers!
SO I finally started using my food scale to get more accurate with my calorie count, and I really wish I'd done it sooner. It appears that when I've been guesstimating I've been ridiculously off. Especially when it comes to, say, fruit. I'll choose a size of apple from the options (ie. small, or medium, 3", etc.) and enter…

Single Mommy in need of MFP buddies!
This is my third time around on here, ahem. Hoping it's the charm. I'm 38, I have a nine-year-old daughter, and I've got a good 20+ pounds to lose. If you have room for another friend, please add me! I'm so sick of being fat, you guys. I'm starting to look like a potato. Sigh.

Starting HCG1234... anyone else?
Hi, I'm starting on the HCG 1234 program today, and looking for anyone else who is on it - or going on it - or has done it, for advice and support. Love to hear experiences/feedback from others who have done this already! I'm a 38 year old single mother; also in need of buddies if anyone's got room to add me! Thank you…

Addicted to AVOCADOS
Lately they're all I think about. I bought four a couple of days ago, and they're gone. I want more than two a day. Would it be terrible if one day the majority of my calories were avocados? Would there be any detrimental side effects to me doing this, at least until maybe I get tired of them?! I'm just eating them raw…

What the 30 Day Shred did for me.
So my "30" days actually took me about 44 days. I started off strong and consistent, but then... as often happens... a combination of bad days, busy days, lazy days and just plain Life made me take a little longer to finish. I also did some exercise bike during this time, but the thing that made me sweat was Jillian. I was…

Covering grey hair - which dye?!
Yes, I've got a bunch of grey hairs in there!!! Starting to get quite a few, so contemplating colouring. It has been YEARS since I've coloured my hair, so I'm wondering what the preferred brands are? I always used semi-permanent in the past (before I had grey hair issues - didn't want that super-visible line at my roots).…

I'm confused about protein powders.
Hi... I've searched the message board, etc., and I'm still confused. Hopefully someone here can help and give an opinion? I think I need to go buy protein powder. I don't really eat meat; I eat some fish but not much, so I think I need to get protein in my diet somehow. However, I'm confused about the different kinds of…

"Play date " issue - Mommy advice needed!
I have an eight-year-old daughter and she has this buddy she loves to play with. I'm not too fond of this kid, however. Not so much the kid, but more the kid's house. When she comes to our house to play she's odd - really odd. I'm starting to wonder if something's up with her home situation. But they play well together.…

Which Jillian DVD next?
Hello! I just completed day 7 of the 30 Day Shred DVD. I'm really enjoying it; I feel I can and will do this for 30 days in a row. So - my question is, which one next?! I'd like to try another Jillian DVD; been reading the online reviews, and figured I'd get your opinions, please! What I like about the 30 Day Shred is that…

Single Mommies Unite!
Looking for single mommies in their thirties to buddy up with for support. I'm 37 with an amazing eight-year-old angel girl :heart: . I have 30+ pounds to lose. I am a bit of a chronic over-eater at times. Um... also I just started the 30 Day Shred yesterday... my calves are a wee bit sore today! :ohwell: Anyone with…

My "I have no food in the house" dinner.
My daughter has a friend over and so this evening they begged me for pizza for dinner. Sigh... been here and done this before :) So we go and pick up pizza - crappy Little Caesars cheese pizza at their request - and the whole drive home I'm smelling that thing and thinking what am I going to eat for dinner, what am I going…

My eating is out of control.
And so I'm back to a point where I'm starting over. Again. I joined MFP a while back, made friends, was doing good... then I started getting really negative and I deleted everyone. I'm sorry I did it, but I felt like I was being of no help to anyone with all my negativity. Since then I've been trying to go it alone, with…

HRM?! Which one do I get?!
I'm contemplating getting a HRM but am overwhelmed by the choices! From what I can tell, most people here prefer the Polar brand. There are comparison charts online for all the Polar models, but it's truly overwhelming. I'm hoping I can get some suggestions from you guys who have been using them for a while. Which model do…

Is Crystal Light ok?!
I have officially given up soda. I posted a topic a while back asking how bad it was that I was drinking a lot of diet soda, and the resposnses I got inspired me to quit. Thank you! I've found some Crystal Light packets in my pantry and had a couple and they're not bad. But how bad are they for me? I don't want to replace…

What's for dessert?!
How is everyone satisfying their sweet tooth?! There has to be something beyond sugar-free jello. I saw in another post someone mention "skinny cows" - haven't had those in years, forgot all about them! What other suggestions does anyone have that are low-cal low-carb?! x

Diet Soda - a bad thing?
I love diet pepsi. I guess I drink quite a bit of it - a few glasses a day. Is that a bad thing? Is it something I need to try to give up? It seems to really help me; feels like a treat after a meal. Would love your opinions on the stuff! x

In need of your mantras... help...
In need of your mantras, quotes, those things you say to yourselves to get you through the day. To stop you for reaching for that cookie. To remind you why you're doing this and to remind you that you can do it. Because I'm having a hard time staying on track. Maybe I need to post them on my fridge, on my mirror, in my…
