Back on the wagon - snack ideas?
I’d started my weight loss journey and had great results. I lost 80 pounds after having my last son...or so I thought he was! I was another 70-80 away from my ultimate goal, 50 away from my realistic goal, and got pregnant with my oopsie baby! He’s 4 months old, I’m back to work, and my metabolism is noticeably different…

Plateau help!
Since starting this in May, I've lost over 50 pounds. I still need to lose 50 more. I absolutely understand things will slow down. I won't consistently lose 2+ a week, and I'm ok with that. But I've been fighting with the same 2 pounds for a few weeks now. I hit 220 and stopped. My weigh in day is Sunday, and I typically…

Mayday mayday, craving but not craving!
I recently stopped breast feeding. While I was, I had upped my calorie goal due to the calories lost and per my doctor. Now I'm not, and haven't been for about a month. I just last week adjusted my calorie goals, and my mind is going crazy! I've lost weight every week since having my son (5.10.16) and now that I've cut…

Low cal fill ups?
Ok everyone, I'm working with 1300 calories right now, and doing it successfully. But I'm a snacker. My go to right now is apples and unsalted pretzels, which I'm fine with, but I'm looking for more options. What are some snacks, or even quick meals, that keep you full for decent lengths of time? I'd say around or under…

Double chin
Seriously. I understand as you lose weight, most people's faces thin out as well. And maybe I'm being too hard or expecting too much. So far I've lost almost 40 pounds (80 to go) and I see no difference in my face, especially this blasted double chin. Is there ANYTHING I can do besides wait it out? It's honestly the one…

Finally post pregnancy...almost!
Good evening MFP! Long story short, I'm set to have my third child any day now (Or May 9th, whichever comes first :) ). My kids were born 2013, 2014 a year and a day later, now this little one will come soon. I only had a 3 month window between the first two, and I hadn't gained more than 15 pounds with the first. I went…

Ideas for meals? New to clean eating! Help!
Hello everyone! I'd like to start to eat clean, or get as close to clean as possible! Here are my obstacles: 1. My husband and I carpool, we work an hour away from where we live. We leave the house around 8:00-8:30AM and don't get home typically until around 9:30-10:00pm. 2. Husband is VERY meat and potatoes. Doesn't…

New...but not really!
Hello everyone! I've had an account here for a looooong time, but let it go dormant for a while. Not to be too much of a Debbie Downer, but my husband and I were expecting our 1st child on October 5th, and we found out October 4th that his little heart had stopped. He was born a beautiful angel and has helped shape me into…

Crohn's patients
My husband was just diagnosed with Crohn's. It was bittersweet, because for the past few years we've been dealing with fistulas and all kinds of ridiculous things and NO ONE wanted to say anything. Finally we got a doctor who made the diagnosis. I'm looking for some friends on here to help me with getting his diet under…

Help with emotional eating!
I am a HUGE emotional eater. I'm currently working on drinking water whenever I feel hungry or like I need to eat, it seems to be working a little, but I'm wondering if there are any tricks that have worked for some of you. A lot of times I'll get stressed and crave anything. If I give in, I'll eat until I puke. This…

Where do you blog?
I'm trying to figure out some different hosts or whatever that people here use! I've seen some blogspots, and I know MFP has a blog feature. Just shopping around!!

Dog owners! Help!
How do you discipline your dog? There's a huge back story to this, feel free to pm me if you're curious. The crux of the matter is I'm looking to other owners how to handle a dog who just won't behave! If you're a Caeser follower, I have apparently by default become the "alpha" or whatever he calls them. Basically, when…

Quick breakfasts?
What do you guys do for quick and easy breakfasts? I saw a recipe earlier for some fairly simply pumpkin protein bars that I'm going to make. I've found that's where the majority of my calories come from, I run out the door and get something to go. I'm looking for things I can pre-make and just grab and go. Any help is…

Marital issues
I don't even know if counseling will work at this point. I came home from work sick. My general manager told me to leave, because I looked ill. That never happens. I've got walking pneumonia. I'm sick. Period. When I get home and crawl into bed, all I get from my husband, who is also sleeping, is "Are you going to make up…

Butt Bible anyone?
I read a thread on here about the Butt Bible on Comcast On Demand. I printed off the workout schedule and whatnot off the website, and I'm interested in seeing if anyone else wants to do it with me :) Not necessarily a challenge, just a group of ladies working out together :) I'm open to any ideas and such, just seeing if…
-
Facebook changes? O.o
Ok, it's weird. Some people on my friends list can't see the recent comments and such. What gives? I've checked every privacy setting I possibly can, and nothing gives me the option to change anything in regards to that. Am I going crazy?

Sick and feeling like eating everything in sight!
Maybe this has been answered before, and I apologize if it has been. I searched and couldn't find anything! To the issue. I'm sick. I've got a cold or something that is just wreaking havoc on my immune system. My head is stuffed to the max, my throat is raw, my nose is running but won't blow anything out, all kinds of…

Cat help!
Our cat is a little over a year old. She's getting fixed in a month. We're having issues with her behavior, and I really doubt it will be solved with her spay. But I could be wrong. We have a HUGE issue with her getting on the TV stand. We've used a water bottle in the past, and it's worked. Unfortunately we can't use one…

Up late. Words with friends?
Anyone? MrsFarrow. What is everyone up to? What are you doing? Why are you up so late?!? I can't sleep. Meh!

Ugh. Pigs on here!
So, I have to vent. I have gone through life with a big chest. When I sprouted, I sprouted big. Almost all of my friends all throughout life have been normal to small in chest size, so they never understood the back pains, shoulders caving in, itching, spending ridiculous amounts of money on bras IF you can find them. I…

Ladies with big chests...my bra ate me!!
I'm a 36F. I've always had issues finding bras that fit nicely, and then when I do I have to buy 6846515 of them because WHO KNOWS when I'll find others that fit great. Anyway, my FAVORITE bra has started to eat me :( I always always always wear under wire, can't wear one without. My favorite bra has began, just in the…

Re-introducing myself!
I've been on MFP for quite a while, and I like many others bounce back and forth. I do really well for a while, then it's almost like I sabotage myself! I am working on that, as I feel like it's a control issue. Well, I'm flipping it around! I CAN control my eating. I used to be an emotional eater. It began roughly a year…

Gluten free bisquick?
So we've done pancakes, we've done cheesy biscuits. Any recipes you all particularly fond of? I'd like to maybe make croutons if that's at all possible...but I have no clue? I've tried searching here and online and haven't really found much!
-
I need an unbiased opinion please :/
I'm at the point where I don't know what to do. This seems like an odd request, but if someone could message me, I'd like some third party opinions on my communication style. My husband and I are constantly arguing it seems, and I'm really beginning to think that it isn't as much me as I thought. We just had a spat via…

I have 260 ca left and CRAVING breaded chicken. Help!!
Like the title said! I'm looking around for recipes, but do any of you have any ideas? Tips? I have Giant Boneless Skinless chicken tenders defrosted. I'm marinating 4 over night for tomorrow's dinner, but I have 3 or 4 left. Any ideas? Recipes or ways to quell the urges? I've already downed 16 oz of water and I'm still…

Kinect and UFC?
My husband wants a 360 with kinect and the UFC game. He thinks it will help us get fit together. Has anyone tried the game before? Any other possible games to get fit with? This is in additional to our typical workouts :)

Low carb-ers, tell me...
Did you see a change? I'm trying to get a feel for it. I find that I get EXTREMELY tired after eating high carb foods, and I hate it. Because I could sleep for hours!! Did you get right into it? Slowly work yourself in? Curious!!! If any of you have public diarys, I'd love to see some examples of a day of food :) Thanks…

Good smoothie recipes?
Anyone have any delish smoothie recipes? I have a ridiculous amount of fresh and frozen fruit right now, chocolate soy protein powder, chocolate meal replacement powder (can you tell I like chocolate?) and a bunch of other things I can use. My only issue is I only have a Magic Bullet, I don't have a full on blender, so my…

I just got called a whale...what?
This is so stupid, but it struck a real nerve. My husband was on some page on Facebook arguing with little jerks about something stupid, and one of them made a comment about the whale in his picture. It took me a minute to realize they were talking about me. The thing is, that picture, I was at my thinnest, right when we…

A Wake Up Call
Over the last 9 months, I've gained roughly 30 pounds. I know I have, my husband knows I have (despite what he says), and my family knows I have (despite what THEY say). One of my frustrations is the two latter groups REFUSE to acknowledge what I'm doing. I get a lot of "Don't get tied up in a number! Don't let the sun…
