Chia Pudding
Hey everyone! I tried a new thing for breakfast this morning...Chia Pudding. I've seen it all over Pinterest, and I don't mind chia seeds, so I thought it was worth a try. Here's the recipe I tried: 3/4 cup coconut milk 2 tablespoons chia seeds ~Mix together and let sit for 40 minutes--stir and eat. When I entered it into…

Candida Diet-HELP!!
Hi Everyone! Let's start with a little background: I've been struggling with a series of bizarre health issues that have had most doctors completely puzzled--including being seemingly unable to lose weight. They know for sure that I have hypothyroidism and high estrogen and I'm being treated for both. The doctor I've been…

Albacore Tuna Steaks
Hi everyone! I’m supposed to add some tuna to my diet (per my doctor), however, I’d rather not just do the canned/pouch kind all the time. Does anyone have any simple recipes for tuna steaks? Any tried and true tips on preparing? (Sorry if there’s a post about this already—I was only finding posts about the canned/pouch…

How Do You Refresh?
Yesterday, I heard twice that I look worn out--I see it too, but had hoped others didn't notice. :yawn: Between work, family, friends, relationship and a community theater musical (rehearsals take up 15+ hours of my week), I'm totally worn out! I'm sleeping only about six hours a night and simply don't have the time to…

Sabotage? Really?
Sabotage? Really? Friends, we're all adults here. Unless you're being strapped down and food is being forced into your body, nobody is really "sabotaging" you. I know we all have days where we feel like people aren't being supportive of our choices, but it's important to remember that these are OUR PERSONAL CHOICES. I know…

Oh silly co-workers!
Maybe it's the fact that I've had too much caffeine already today, but my co-workers are making me batty! Between continuous interruptions, stupid mistakes, last minute requests, and absurd assumptions I'm ready to scream. LOL What "fun" stuff have your co-workers done today?

Ugh, here we go again...
I did it again, fellow Wagoneers. I fell off the bandwagon. I'm so disgusted with myself! I've lived a gluten free lifestyle since last November. Well, with fun summer stuff, my family having a HUGE birthday week last week, and (I'll admit) my poor self-control, I've managed to eat likely my body weight in yummy…

NSV Yoga Results
I have to start with the background...sorry! Since an injury in January, I've been on VERY restricted activity. As in pretty much nothing. Awesome when you're trying like crazy to lose weight! :grumble: Luckily, due to very careful eating, I haven't really gained anything. Two weeks ago, my physical therapist had me start…

Logging Supplements/Medications?
Quick questions--how many of you log your medications and/or supplements? I have a nasty cold and my doctor put me on MucinexD. I just looked it up for the heck of it and someone has it in the database at about 200 calories...FOR ONE TABLET (normal dosage is 2)!!! :noway: I've also checked out the calorie count for my…

NSV-Gluten Free
I'm pretty much obsessing over every little thing I put in my body this week. As of Monday, I started a gluten free diet. I've never been diagnosed with any kind of gluten intolerance, but neither my doctors, nor I have ever been able to figure out what's "not quite right" about my health. My doctor suggested this may be…

Ideal Weight?
Hi Everyone! :) How many of you think that you know what your ideal weight is? My BMI says I should be between 104 & 141 (I haven't been 140 since middle school)!!! I'm a curvy girl--always have been--5' 3" and fairly muscular. I had my ideal weight calculated by the Dukan Diet site and they said I should be about 161,…

Jump Start?
Hi Everyone! I've been on MPF for quite some time and I truly struggle with weight loss. I have hypothyroidism and just can't seem to shed any weight. I currently stay between 1200 and 1500 calories per day, and the majority of them are healthy calories (lean meats, whole grains, fruits/veggies, water, etc.). Yes, I…

So frustrating...
I'm going to apologize right away for this being so long!!! I've been working on losing weight for about 10 years now. I've tried so many methods...all of which seem to work in the short term, but never last. Sometimes that's been my own doing, but lately, that's not the case--I just can't seem to lose any weight! My…
