Joseph's lavish flatbread
Hello! If you have access to this, I discovered you can turn it into pretty decent crackers/chips for dips, nachos, etc. I cut up the flat bread with a pizza cutter, dipped each piece into olive oil to get a good coating on it, and sprinkled it with various seasonings. I tried some with garlic salt and everything bagel…

Jesus take the wheel! Wheel= uterus. Guys look away
Not quite 4 weeks in and tmi don't think I have any blood left in me! What the heck!! 16 lbs down in 27 days which is wonderful, but why is my body turning on me?! I'm miserable. On the pill, came early. I've only heard about late periods on this WOE, what is happening?!

Great news! Not keto related at first..
I was laid off late August of last year. I was working for a bank and it was bought out totally out of the blue. My position didn't exist within the new bank and I had to spend several months helping keep the transition smooth all while knowing I had no future there as well as an end date. That was really hard on me.…

Knee pain, help
I started this WOE Jan 2nd. Starting 6 days ago I've had severe knee pain in both knees. They constantly feel like they need to "crack" to feel better but in doing so does nothing for relief. No prior injury and I take magnesium and potassium. Sometimes vitamin d and L glutamine and a multi vitamin but I hate taking pills…

Shoe size..
What is your shoe size and where do you find the best shoes? I'm an 11, and I have the hardest time finding cute flat shoes! I don't wear a heel whatsoever because I'm already taller than my boyfriend. :ohwell:

I'm not new..
But I could use some extra support. I fell off the wagon hard and gained 30lbs in a year after quitting smoking. I'm re-dedicating myself to this and I could use some new friends in similar situations or anyone to just give me a kick in the pants when I need it. Kudos to all of you, this is hard work!

Crockpot Salsa Chicken
I searched for this but didn't see it, so I'd like to share! 4 boneless, skinless, frozen chicken breasts (about 34oz) 1 jar of your favorite salsa (16oz jar or close to) 1 bag of frozen sweet corn ( I use about 3/4s, a whole 12oz bag is a bit much for me) 1 can of beans (I prefer pinto or great northern) 8oz fat free…

A wonderful thing to hear..
Tonight my 4 year old daughter came up to me, hugged me, and said, "I'm so glad you don't smoke anymore Mommy!" Makes all the hard times and weight gain SO worth it! :smile: I've been smoke free for two months on the 24th. I managed to gain 9lbs in a month while trying to figure out how to control my ferocious appetite.…

Heart rate NSV!!
I really needed this right now because I've felt really down since quitting smoking and not being able to control my hunger. I have been slacking with exercise, but I decided to strap on my HRM to check my heart rate for improvement since I quit smoking almost 3 weeks ago. I wasn't expecting much, but my high heart rate…

Heart rate with HRM question..
I'm wondering if anyone else with HRMs notice this, or if my heart is over zealous. I don't know my resting heart rate because I haven't checked, but being up and just hanging out on the couch my HR is around 78. The instant I get up and start moving my HR goes up to at least 110. Just putting my shoes on and getting my…

Looking for more support :-)
I find myself on MFP more and more, and I'd really like a bigger support system. I don't live near family, so any help is greatly appreciated. It's very motivating to hear great job when you've done something right.

Is anyone else resentful?
I have many friends who eat whatever they want, rarely exercise, and stay thin. Then there's me, struggling to keep off the 30 pounds that will creep in if I don't focus. Sometimes I let that resentment take over and I stop trying, which leads to yo-yo'ing. I shouldn't have to work harder than everyone else! Are these…

Which way to go is more beneficial?
I have 415 calories left for the day, and I know my supper will be just below that. But I haven't exercised yet, and if I did I would burn about 450cals. I don't want to consume 800+calories because I know that's more food than I'll be hungry for, so do I skip working out? Is it better to be at a big deficit or not work…

NSV- pre pregnancy jeans.
I have a pair of size 29 (waist) Calvin Klein jeans that I got just before getting pregnant and haven't been able to wear comfortably since. I have been able to get them on but they looked terrible. Five years later I can wear them in public! I've been gaining and losing the same 35lbs since high school, but I'm commited…

HRM question
I recently got a Polar FT7. I have everything set up correctly but I have a hard time believing I'm burning what it says I am. I played the Wii game Walk It Out for an hour and a half today and my HRM said I burned 701 calories. That seems like a lot for just walking in place at a decent pace.. any thoughts? I'm 5'10 and…

My before and after :)
My weight has gone up and down since high school. In January 2010 I was diagnosed with gallbladder disease so I had to eat better to keep the attacks away until surgery. This prompted me to make a permanent change. It's been a slow process because I'm just not motivated enough outside of work and raising my daughter to go…

Joined last week.
I've been serious about losing weight (again) starting Jan. 5th. I have gallbladder disease so I've been watching what I eat and it's good incentive to eat well. I'd like to lose 30lbs total by the beginning of summer, and I joined the site to help me get there. I look forward to getting a lot of good tools and advice here…
