My favorite is the vanilla powder with a bit of chocolate and cheesecake pudding mix. I have the protein only powder, but have been adding it when I am…

It's ruining our relationship
I began truly eating healthy in January, six month after moving in with my fiance. I've always been focused on my weight, but hit a plateau over the summer and gave up. I cook healthy dinners every night, and always make sure there is enough for my fiance's lunch/dinner. He works second shift and I work first. His diet and…

I need some encouragement!
Hey folks, I've only been at this for two weeks, and I know it takes time, but I am a results kind of girl. Last year, I lost ten pounds and stayed there for six months, regardless of eating and logging and working out. Gave up, ate it all back, plus ten pounds. Now, here I sit...ten pounds down, and not moving. I…

Teach me how to eat MORE!
My TDEE is 2414, and my BMR is 1563. I set my calorie goal to 2052 (TDEE-15%). Adjusted protein, fiber, carbs, and fat to 30, 30, 40, 30. Now, how on earth do I eat this much? Feel free to look through my diary. Any snacks you recommend? I played around with with todays food and got it close, but I do have a workout…

Another advice-seeker!
Help! I am barely netting 1200 calories, especially on days I work out. I'm adding to my workouts, so it should be about 600 calories burned 3x per week. I run and am now adding in weight lifting. I need to up my calories, but stay within my levels. I'm very picky about sodium. any advice? My diary is open.

Suggestions?
Ok, so according to the site, if I did not work out at all, I can eat 1,470 calories per day and lose 1 lb per week. Now...if I put in that I want to work out 3xs at 30 minutes each, my calories don't budge. Also according to the calculator, my BMR is 1,458. Something is clearly not adding up for me right now... Confused...

Green Smoothie question
I just made my very first spinach smoothie and I'm hooked! Now, can I make these the night ahead? I leave for work at 6:30 and the fiance works second shift. I don't think he would think too kindly of the blender at 6am. I used about 2 cups spinach, 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1 banana, and 1/2 cup OJ.…

Calling Bride-to-be's!
Anyone else engaged and looking to lose a few pounds? I've been on here a while, had a hiccup over the summer, and am right back where I started. Only this time, I have some serious motivation! I'm getting married in the summer of 2013! I'm really wanting to lose some serious weight before I go dress shopping this summer!…

Low sodium alternative?
Hey all, I'm looking for any ideas for a lower sodium substitution for ranch dressing mix and italian dressing mix. Lots of my favorite recipes call for this, but those two are crazy high in sodium!

Shoe Help
I'm shoe shopping, and need some opinions. I'm currently wearing Saucony ProGrid Guide 3 shoes, and they are waaay worn out! I'm looking into replacing them, but I'm not sure if I should get the exact same shoe, or if I should just get the ProGrid Guide 4. What are the typical variations from shoe to shoe? I have no time…

Back...again...
I'm still around, guys. I'm just really struggling. I stopped losing weight in April, kept on fighting until August, got pissed, gave up, and gained everything back. I finally got blood work done, and am waiting for any results. I had my food logs reviewed by so many people in the fitness world and worked out with A class…

Totally frustrated and over it
I've been at this for 8 months now, and I've only lost 10lbs. I've been watching what I eat, my water intake, and working out. About 2 weeks ago, I started eating back about half my calories, and still haven't seen any change. I've blown it this weekend, eating horrible...I'll be back on track tomorrow. I'm so happy for…

Increasing calories
How would you increase your calories? What would you add into your diet? I am in starvation mode, I'm certain. I'm really trying to increase my calories while staying within my acceptable ranges. MFP has me eating 1370 per day, but this is not enough. I'm looking to increase to at least 1600. I'm constantly blowing away…

My mother has graciously gifted me a stocked pantry, so I need to get ready for our shopping trip! What would you stock in my pantry? There is nothing in there as of yet! I'm wanting lots of heathy options...I'm…

Kindle or Nook?
Kindle or Nook? Leaning towards a Nook...but which one? I like the idea of the e-ink, so the color Nook may be out. I like that the e-ink actually looks like a book. And I'm favoring Nooks over Kindle because if something happens, I can walk my Nook into B&N....with a Kindle, it's a trip to the postman.

Changing the way I walk
Ok. I'm an elehpant, I swear. I'm a clomper. Everyone in my family is. I walk heavy, I run heavy. I'm really trying to improve my running form, but can't get past the clomping around! I've got arthritis, so I know slamming my foot down with every step is extra bad for me. How do I change the way I've walked for 25 years?…

ANOTHER net calorie question
So I just got done with my aunts workout (she is a personal trainer). She does this aerobics course in a room that is wall to wall trampolines. The class was an hour and my heart rate monitor says I burned 745 calories, spent 57 minutes in the 'zone'. I had eaten dinner before the class, and now my net calories are only…

Stupid Plateau
So I have been trying to lose weight, and am down ~5lb so far. However, I have been stuck at 167.3 for a week. I began the C25k program on Monday, and am sore today, so I am assuming that is why I am weighing in at 167.8 today. I am just getting so frustrated, not able to move the scale. I try to keep my sodium under…
