FullBar
Has anyone tried these FullBar products? I was reading on their website and you are supposed to eat one a half hour before a meal and it will help you feel fuller and eat less. I was thinking about trying this in the evening since even though I am good all day, early evening, I get to "snacking" too much. But, as with any…

Being sore after a workout
I usually only get really sore after I start a new routine or start working out a new muscle group. Recently, I started doing a bunch of great ab exercises that a friends coached me on. I am ALWAYS sore for a day after doing them. My question is should I push through another workout the next day or wait until the soreness…

Ring sizing
Last week I finally had to do it. My rings were SLIDING right off my fingers. I couldn't risk it anymore so I brought them to the jeweler. My fingers went from a stealth 6.5 to a pencil-like 5.5. Great job, right?! OK until it's $150 later for sizing and re-soldering. My rings are platinum so that's why so much. (3 rings…

Need a Seafood Medley recipe
I bought a frozen package of shrimp, scallops, and calamari last night from Trader Joe's. It was low cal and I love seafood so I thought it would be neat to try. But, I'm not much of a cook so anyone have any ideas for a good way to make this? My husband thought we could make it with a red sauce which would probably be ok.…

How do you choose your goal?
I'm wondering how most of you chose your goal weight? Is it a weight you've been at before? A previous milestone? A Healthy BMI? Here's my concern. I am just a few pounds away from the goal I originally set for myself. It's a weight that I have been before and knew I would be thrilled to meet again. However, it's still…

The best salad dressing ever
And it's storebought! Found at Trader Joe's: It's called Cranberry, Walnut, and Gorgonzola vinaigrette. 2 Tblsp is 70 calories and now I want to have salad for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Having a hard time eating all my calories
So I guess I have a couple of questions. First, I am finding that I've been making such good eating decisions that I can barely eat all my calories on a daily basis. And if I add exercise to that, well, that's even harder! Should I be worried about this? If all my calories have good nutritional content and I am…

figuring out exercise calories burned
Should I go with what the machine says or what MFP calculates for me? MFP doesn't factor in my resistance or speed for the eliptical. When I get on the machine, I enter my weight and age, so I feel like what the machine says is pretty accurate. When I enter exercise on MFP for 30 minutes on the eliptical, I get 317…

Hi, another newbie
My name is Paula. I started on this site about 3 weeks ago now. I signed up looking for just a way to track my calories and MFP really showed me what I should be eating. This site is awesome and has motivated me more. I wasn't exercising then but when I saw the calorie tracker and how I could "earn" more calories by…
