Carrot juice
I bought some carrot juice (Bolthouse Farms 100% carrot juice) at the store today and now don't know what to do with it. Tried to make a smoothie with blackberries, a small banana, some vanilla yogurt, carrot juice, and spinach and it tastes like dirty socks. What do you guys do with carrot juice? I love carrots but this…

NSV!
<That! My face is getting so much thinner! I am less swollen and more confident. In fact, I changed my profile pic on Facebook to this picture and got comments like "you look just like you did in high school!" "You look 10 years younger!" "hot mama!" What a confidence booster! A new haircut, a new hair color, a new…

Clean eating - definition?
Everybody everywhere is talking about clean eating. Google it and everyone seems to have a different definition. I THOUGHT it meant not eating stuff from a box (generally) but now I am not so sure. Can someone shed some light on this please? What the heck is "clean" by definition?

Insane co-workers
Need some advice: I have started set day fasting and yesterday, a fasting day, a girl here at the office (probably 300+ lb) literally was SHOUTING at me about how stupid it is and how I'm young and how if she were my size, she'd eat anything she wanted. It was so offensive. I really didn't know what to day so I just turned…

Set day fasting

I read all the way to the beginning of phase 2, at which point I started to feel…

Yummy low-cal discoveries! Please share!!
Yesterday at the store I discovered these new breads by Flat-Out! that are called Foldit breads. I bought the rosemary olive oil flavor. They are soft and puffy and much yummier than those Arnold Sandwich thins I've been buying. At 100 calories, they're also less than 2 slices of even the best low-cal bread I can find.…

Projected weight?
Does anybody pay attention to that projected weight that MFP gives you once you close out a day's diary entry? Mine told me the first week that I would be at 172 in my fifth week. This is week 5... and that's still 8 pounds away. I've lost 9 already. So I am thinking that a projected loss of 17 pounds in 5 weeks is a…

Weigh in?
I've been reading a lot here and see that many people weigh themselves every day. I am not sure this is a good plan for me becasue of that pesky +.5 or more that sometimes creeps up, or that beautiful moment of being down 2 pounds only to have it evaporate the next day. Thoughts? Does this happen to others? It can all be…

Am I eating enough?
I'm hungry. I hate to diet because I hate to be hungry. Today is Day 8 and I've not lost a pound. In fact, I was up just the tiniest bit this morning on the scale and was terribly disappointed. Generally in the first week, I lose 5-8 pounds and that helps me see that the sacrifice is worth it. I find it very odd that I've…
