Flavoured Water Recipes
Hi all, I've seen a few posts on here about people hating water, but not much help on what to do about it. I have a really hard time drinking my required allotment when it comes to water because I get sick of it so quickly. At the moment, I flavour them with things like Mio & Dasani drops, which I know are far from good…

Extreme Weight Fluctuation
Now I know that weight fluctuates daily, rising and falling during the hours due to many factors...but this is ridiculous. I only had 15 lbs to lose when I started MFP, but because of my laziness and hatred towards exercise, I knew that I needed support. And I found it in the wonderful women that I have befriended here.…

Sweet tooth in the mornings
Every morning, I find myself crazily cravings sweets...usually leading me to eat a muffin, a chocolate croissant, a cinnamon bun... I can keep myself in check during the days/nights on most occasions, telling myself that I have to stay under my calorie goal. But whenever I eat such a high-calorie breakfast that takes up so…

Low to No-sugar Lunchbox snacks
Although I will be using the suggestions for myself (as I'm always looking for new, healthy snacks for my lunch), this is mostly for my daughter. My little girl is 4-years-old, in pre-kindergarten...and terribly energetic! Now, I know all kids have loads of energy, running and screaming and all of that (my 10-year-old…

30 day Plank Challenge?

I already have my cardio workout down to a T and I have other strength exercises, but I would like just a little something more to get me ready for the summer.

Muffin-top...BE GONE!!!! 24 hours not enough!!!
Hiya all, I work in an office all day, so you can imagine how little exercise I get during business hours. I try to walk around the floor once every hour and I've now added a 30 minute walk during each lunch hour, so at least there's that. I also have two kids at home...what with supper, homework, baths, etc... by the time…

All my friends in high school knew that if you wanted candy, you came to see me. Now, I am diabetic who's trying to lose a few pounds, but I still need to give in to my…

A Canadian Catastrophe
Merry Meet Boys & Girls, I am a 31-year-old Canadian Wife & Mother that is in need of some serious motivation. Even though I only have approx. 18 lbs to lose (all of it in the belly/thigh area), I have one major flaw...I'm quite lazy! As in, I can't stand exercise (but I do it when my husband guilt trips me), not to…
