Diet to prevent gallstone attack
So, this is my second gallbladder attack this week this one sending me to the ER. I can't have my gallbladder removed until late next month. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good resource for recipes that will prevent an attack until then. Many sites mention general foods, but I am looking to a much more specific list…

Down 100lbs in 8 months!!
I just needed to see it in writing. I am freaking proud of myself! Not one single diet pill, no fad diet (low carb, low fat, paleo, raw, etc), no giving up food groups, no attempting burpees, just slow and steady logging my food intake and moderate exercise, including walking a 5K. My success isn't very dramatic, but for…

Have you changed your goal weight?
In the beginning, I was over 350lbs and was trying to think of what a good weight for me would be. I'm 5'10" and I knew going back to my HS weight would be an impossibility. I set my original goal to 155lbs. After losing almost 100lbs and talking to a female relative who's my height but not as busty (she's 170lbs), I…

MFP Cholesterol Stats
I am curious. My husband has high blood pressure and high cholesterol. When he's tracking his stats on here, is it tracking good cholesterol (which his is too low) or bad cholesterol (his is too high)? I'm not sure how to adjust our diets because it shows his goals are under each day for cholesterol, I'm just not sure if…

If you've seen Captain America: The Winter soldier
Is there more than one credit scene? We stayed through the first part of the credits and watched the bonus scene, then it went to music and more credits, they brought the house lights up and we left. was there another scene after that? Someone told me there was but I can't tell if they're messing with me.

I haven't strength trained since high school...
...and I am severely, morbidly obese. I am starting with aerobics but I also want to start with beginning strength training( ie with cans and resistance bands only). I've seen workout plans that start with things like 'do 100 squats, 50 burpees, 25 sit-ups etc" and the only thing I got out of it was a stomach cramp…

All the Morbidly Obese say hi!
Hello! I decided not to tell anyone outside of here that I'm trying to lose weight since everyone has either 'helpful' hints on how THEY would lose almost 200 pounds, but also the attempts to commiserate with, "I know how you feel, I need to lose 20lbs before my cruise..." So anyway, I'm Loopy and just wanted to say hi and…

When you plan to splurge...
Do you bank your calories, or workout more to compensate? If you treat yourself to a 600 calorie cupcake (for instance I have no idea how accurate that is), do you short yourself 600 calories the day before, skip 600 calories on a meal, or workout 30 minutes more?

SOUP!
So, I finally found out how to get through the hunger pangs. Soup! I have some Fit & Active soup to get me through this weekend until I go grocery shopping again, but after that I intend to just make a huge pot of veggie soup, portion it out, and freeze/thaw as I go. I started today by logging all the meals and snacks I…
