Anyone here only want to lose 5-10 pounds?
I'm just curious. I'm not over weight but I have gained weight so I only want to lose a little before summer. Also, I mostly want to just be healthy and gain strength, flexibility, and stamina. Anyone on MFP for the same reason?

Brownies from the box
Have any of you made brownies from the box, but healthified it with apple sauce instead of oil? My mom and her boyfriend LOVE boxed brownies, but I would love to make them healthier without them noticing... Were the brownies still good?

Losing too much weight (Just a rant)
I am loosing too much weight. I'm 5' 3" went from 127lbs in April to 109-110, and my goal weight was 113lbs. I know I haven't been eating enough calories, and now I have to increase. I've been eating around 1000-1200 calories and barely exercising as of late. Now, I want to increase to 1400 and then eventually to 1600 and…

If I wake up late, do I eat less calories?
Today I woke up later than usual at around 12 pm. I just skipped breakfast and went straight for lunch and then proceeded to eat every 2-3 hours. But should I have less calories if my day is shorter than usual?

Going out to eat
I'm going out to eat at a place that doesn't have nutrition facts. To stay safe I was going to go with a chicken salad. Should I just assume that the calories would be similar to a homemade chicken salad? I know this is kind of a stupid question but who knows what restaurants do.

Short Cardio
I feel silly tracking my cardio exercises because sometimes I only do around 10 minutes. Yesterday I did around 8 minutes on the elliptical because my sister wasn't feeling well so we cut gym time short. But I still did a 7:49 mile, so I was doing a pretty solid 7.5 mph. Both the machine and MFP said I burned around 60…

Tasti D-lite
So I went to Tasti D-lite today and it was amazing. I just wanted to let everyone know, and it was only 70 calories for 4oz. It still had 12 grams of sugar, but it was a great treat- today was my boyfriend's one year anniversary together and it topped off the night. It was so good I just had to share this virtually guilt…

Sweetened apple sauce
I was going to have a 1/2 cup of apple sauce but its sweetened. Is there anyone I could find out how much of the sugar is natural and how much is added? It's the Stop and Shop brand.

Bad habits
So now that I'm being healthier, I've realized it's time to get another part of my life straightened out. I bit my nails and skin excessively. I bleed and my fingers are all red. Sometimes, it hurts to even shampoo my hair or wash my hands because of the open cuts. I've been doing it for as long as I can remember. Anyone…

7.5 lbs down before and after
I started my journey on April 7, 2011 on MFP and though I've been a little inconsistent with tracking my food on here, I've been successful overall with my workouts and eating habits. I need to workout more though, as I went from going to the gym 3-4 times a week to only 1 time a week. I'm starting the 30 Day Shred as soon…

Can someone look at my food diary?
I want a snack. I want a granola bar but it has 7g of sugar and I already went over sugar, but I don't know about the whole natural sugar vs added sugar thing. Does it look safe to have the granola bar? Or what else could I snack on without sugar?

Tuna recipes? or any lunch recipes
I have been eating chicken and turkey mostly but I bought a couple cans on tuna. I made a tuna sandwich for lunch one day mixed with some dark green and purple lettuce- YUMMY! I also visited my dad's and he had this mix where you can make tuna burgers and that was pretty good. Any other suggestions with tuna? Also, for…

Good ab exercises?
I do some seated abdominal machines, but mostly I do: 3 sets of 15 crunches while tossing a 4-6 pound ball to my partner, 3 sets of 20 crunches, 3 sets of 15-20 twists from side to side, feet elevated with a 4-6 pound ball. What other exercises could I do? What do you think of the ones I already do? Also, I tried bicycle…

Under calorie goal
I'm always under my calorie goal by quite a bit. I'm also under my carb goal. I guess I was scared off from carbs. I don't want to starve myself, so what would be healthy foods to add to my diet, with or without a good amount of carbs. I was thinking fruits, because I usually only eat veg. The only fruit I like is apple.…
