Frustrated! Can't find a half slip in my size
I need a white 2x/20-22 ish size half slip no longer than 18". I'd have better luck finding a unicorn. Where do women buy plus size garments like this? They are all way longer, as though we should cover almost to our ankles!! Grrrr

Movie snacks
Okay peeps, I want to watch a movie and want to munch on something different than popcorn without overindulging on calories. What's your favorite healthy-ish movie snack?

Rabbit recipes?
Hi! I am trying different foods to keep my taste buds interested. :) Yesterday I purchased a frozen whole rabbit but turns out I have no idea what to do with it! Any recipe suggestions? Can I cook it right from frozen (preferred)? Thanks!!

How many calories do you average for dinner?
Dinner is always my biggest meal and I wonder how many calories others consume during their evening meal. For me, 500-750 around 6-6:30pm and I have some kind of snack around 8pm and go to bed around 10. Not necessarily looking to change right now but curious. :)

Tai Cheng from Beachbody?
anyone tried Tai Cheng DVDs? Thoughts? I need to gain flexibility and core strength while working within my weight and asthma limitations. This sounds promising but would like to hear from real people not marketing hype.

misplaced anger
I've been working on this weight loss thing since last autumn (well, numerous times before but with my heart consistently in it since then). I've had some bumps and road blocks along the way but I'm still at it and have lost almost 42 pounds. I have a sister who had way more than me to lose (easily 30-50 pounds more) and…

To (try to) run, or not...that is the question
I have walked several 5K events over the past few years, most recently in March. Yesterday, I walked/jogged one, and my time was around 41 minutes; there were some very minor hills and I walked a good portion of the course. I'm signed up for another 5K this weekend (signed up in March), but I just got looking into it more…

What are you most proud of since joining MFP?
For me, it is that I have lost my fear of working out when others are around. I'm not ready for the weight room yet (then again, I don't even enjoy that), but I don't care if there are beautiful models also in the gym, I'm there to do what I came to do, and they are of no consequence to me. Previously, I would have ditched…

What's with no fruit?
My food choices are miles from perfect, or even ideal, but I can't wrap my head around a plan that allows cheat days and ice cream but fruit is absolutely forbidden. Can somebody make sense of this low carb thing for me?

Any SAD folks out there? (Seasonal Affective Disorder)
It's that time of year...the days are getting short on light, the temperature is dropping a bit more each day, and my mood is starting to follow suit. Time to turn on my Happy Light! Anyone else dealing with this too? It took me quite a lot of years to admit it, but then I bought a light at the suggestion of my doctor and…

Runner with asthma just starting out. Tips? Buddies?
I'm just starting to run. I'm very slow (4mph) did 2 miles yesterday for the first time (first 1 mile about 2 weeks ago). I don't use C25K, just trying to do what I can. I have asthma and don't want to set myself up for disappointment if I'm having a bad breathing day or week and can't do the program. I've been mostly…

Help! Need ideas to lighten this up!
We are having a zumba party in pink and we want to have these deserts (Mammo-Grahams) but the recipe as is comes to 500+ calories each! I need to find something for the, um...breasts...that are not as high calorie. The recipe, for 12 cookies, calls for 2 pounds of powdered sugar. YIKES!!! I tried marshmallow but to be able…

If you want a heart rate monitor...
I knew I wanted a Polar because I can link it to our website for work that rewards us for "verified' workouts. After much comparison shopping, I decided on my model and then had to find the best price. HeartRateMonitors USA.com has the absolute lowest prices for Polar that I found. And I found a coupon code for an extra 5%…

What do you find motivating about MFP?
I love that when you complete your food diary, you get a message that if every day were like today, where you would be in 5 weeks. That is motivating. :) I also am liking the new friends I am finding, and getting motivation from their successes. Starting week 3, so far so good!

NSV for me today!
I have asthma and 3 weeks ago, I would cough and wheeze for several hours after a brisk 45 minute walk. Tonight, I did a 5K on the treadmill, walking/jogging for 49 minutes and I have had no coughing or wheezing at all afterward! WOOHOOOO!!! I can breathe and my lungs can build capacity! :)

NutriBullet or not?
Do you have one? Did you used to drink "smoothies" etc before you got one? I've never even considered "shakes" because they usually came from this or that special mix from a specialty store. I want to do all my grocery shopping at the grocery store. So...tell me if you love it, were you surprised how much you used it once…

Relatively new...best benefit so far is?
I am feeling less lethargic and looking forward to moving my butt! I am not into any big workouts per se' but I have been walking pretty much daily and I'm just starting to learn to jog. Learn to jog sounds stupid, like just do it...only I can't yet. :noway: Anyway, after 3 weeks I'm really pleased with the way my attitude…

One small step = one giant leap
BIG day for me! I got my treadmill time at the company gym tonight! I have often wanted to go there (it's inside, it's free, it's right there!), but never actually did anything in there. I have even gotten my workout clothes on and walked in, and walked right back out again. I have a fear that people from work, who see me…

Getting 8 or more fruits/veggies? Tell me more...
I have targeted 5 a day for years, and am working to increase that. What kind of mix do you eat. More fruits? more veggies? equal split? double servings at a time? what does your day look like in terms of when and what you eat to get them all in?

Any "losers" in Upper Valley NH/VT?
I'm looking for potential walking/jogging buddies in the Upper Valley. I don't prefer the road, but love the rail trail and am open to other well marked trails in the area. Feel free to message or friend me (include a note). I live in Enfield, work in Lebanon/Hanover.

Getting started running with asthma
Hi all! I really want to be a runner (jogger?). Any tips from others with asthma on how to get started? Yesterday morning I jogged several short spurts during my 3.5 mile walk, and with my inhaler I did okay, finishing around 8am. However, about 2 hours after I finished, my lungs were very rattly and I coughed the rest of…
