Had my Wisdom teeth out/Starting new Diet Bet
The day after the last diet bet ended, I had all four wisdom teeth (plus and extra molar) extracted. The two on the bottom were especially difficult to get out as they were severely impacted. I'm very swollen and in a lot of pain. For the past 4 days my caloric intake has been somewhere around 1000 calories due to my…

Blender Bottle Recipes
I just bought a blender bottle yesterday at my local GNC. I got the 20 oz size. There are a few recipes on their website that sound really good, but I was wondering if anyone out there has some recipes that they have tried and liked. I plan on just using it mainly for smoothies/protien shakes to act as a meal replacement.…

Scared to do my first "Dirty 30"!
A friend of mine convinced me to drive to Mulhall, OK in May to do the Dirty 30. I'm super excited and scared to death! Will I be the only one that can't make it over the wall, climb a rope? Will there be other chubby chicks there, or are they all marathon runners?! We did an adventure race in August that consisted of…

Anyone have a Bosu ball?
Do any of my MFPers have a Bosu ball? I used one a few times during physical therapy for my back. It seems like a wonderful tool for core strengthening, but I'm hesitant to go buy one right now, due to their cost. If you have one, do you like it? How often do you use it? Thankyou!

Recipe for zucchini boats
I found this recipe on Pinterest, and it is sooo good! http://prouditaliancook.blogspot.com/2010/05/tiny-tomatoes-big-taste.html After entering it into my repice calculator, it came out to 93 calories per boat (half zucchini) after prepared. They are a great way to get rid of my french bread pizza cravings!

HRM @ good price on Ebay...
I just saw this HRM on Ebay. I'm not personally familiar with the brand, but if you are looking for a HRM with a chest strap, then this seems like a great deal: http://cgi.ebay.com/Pyle-Heart-Rate-Monitor-w--3D-Walking-Running-Sensor/150626032185?_trksid=p1468660.m2000037#ht_2918wt_905

I'm so Tachy...cardic, that is.
Ok, so I followed the advice of all the wise people on this site and bought a HRM. So far, I love it. My question is if it is actually reading too high for me. I have a harmless form of tachycardia, or faster than normal heart rate. My cardiologist has done extensive testing, and found that my heart muscle is in excellent…

Just when I think I've got this figured out...
I have been at this for about two months, and I love this site. I have lost almost 12 pounds, and i feel like I have learned so much. Now that i'm really upping my exercise, I have developed an issue. I don't have a problem eating healthy food and staying around my calorie goal of 1200. On days like today, I have burned…

For Dog Lovers...
I saw this article today, and it almost brought tears to my eyes. Most of us around here are getting focused on our own weight loss journey and making sure we eat right, but are we doing the same thing for our four-legged friends? http://www.lifewithdogs.tv/2011/04/super-size-me-overweight-dog-battles-the-bulge/

has anyone done Country Dance for Wii?
I just rented the Zumba game, and love it, so I went online to consider buying it when I ran across a Wii game called Country Dance. I'm a huge country fan, and spent my high school days line dancing my way into a size 5. I was just wondering if anyone had an opinion on this game before I spend $40 on it. Thanks!

Almond Milk for Cooking?
I was just wondering if anyone has used almond milk for cooking savory dishes, like using it in Hamburger Helper? I don't keep skim milk in the house, because I can't stand the taste. But, I do use almond milk for my protein shakes. I wasn't sure if my end result for cooking would turn out okay.

Who loves the new Mio water enhancers?!
I do! Before I started on MFP, I was addicted to McDonald's sweet tea. Then I found out that a large has 280 calories, and I was NOT down with that. Now, I use the Mio water enhancers in Sweet Tea and Fruit punch, and I find that I've nearly double my water intake for the day. There are sometimes when plain, cold water…

New Member from Kansas!
Hi everyone, I just signed up yesterday, and I'm super excited to have a community that I can turn to for support, especially on the tough days. My goal is to lose a total of 50 pounds. My best friend and I started the "couch to 5K" program today, and my legs are paying for it tonight! On paper, it looks like a really…
