I had a really supportive group of friends at one point, but a lot of my friends have quit MFP :( or are not as involved as they once were. I deleted several "friends" who haven't logged on in 9 months or more and I have…

Good Choices at Red Lobster?
So my anniversary was on Tuesday and my hubby is taking me out for a date night - to Red Lobster :) We used to eat there often before we had kids, but we haven't been there in quite a while.

My husband and I are both trying to eat better and cook better meals for our family - we've been going strong since January, but lately we have been coming up short with meal ideas and are getting tired of plain old "white chicken" as my five year old calls it (the nugget variety he used to eat is "brown" chicken!) Anyone…

Celiac Disorder - help!!
My son is 15 months old and has had digestive issues since day 1 - he was diagnosed with Reflux and was thought to have a sensitivity to cows milk proteins - I nursed him and did not eat any dairy to help with this.

Question for the ladies - seriously guys you don't want to k
So my question to all the ladies out there is this - has increased exercise and better eating had an effect of your hormones?

A bigger picture!
Ok so I haven't devoted much time to exploring this site - I use it every day, but until recently was just tracking calories, fat, carbs, and protein - and I must say I have been doing pretty good! I never really even add my exercise or water intake. Today I figured out how to add the totals for sugar and fiber as well and…
