Still Recruiting for the NSV challenge
I made a challenge group focusing on NSVs rather than numbers on the scale. You have until tomorrow evening to join! Look for us in the groups section under "NSV Challenge Group." The more the merrier! Oh, I'm going to split people into smaller groups of 4 or 5 so that you can support each other on a more intimate basis…

Mood Swings
From PMS. Who else gets these? I woke up angry as f-ck, then I was so excited and happy, then angry again, and now completely down in the dumps. I want to cry as we speak. I hate it. How do you deal?

Different girl, same problem
My weight-loss has slowed down dramatically and I know I need to eat more to see a loss. I'm already eating 1600+ calories a day but only netting 950-1250. With the 1600 calories I feel so stuffed and I tonight I literally had to force the food down my throat 'cause I was already so full. I'm eating every 2-3 hours. But…

too many NSVs?
I swear, I see my body changing almost daily! My knees don't have fat on them anymore! My thighs are this close to no longer touching! I can feel my hip bones more and more everyday! My legs are harder every time I touch them! I look better in my panties every single day! Lol, is it possible for my body to be changing so…

Low Carb Snacks!
I've net 1170 calories today, but I've already had too many carbs (200). I want to net at least 1300 (my goal is 1450), so I need snack ideas to fill up those 130 cals I still need. I already had almonds, peanut butter, greek yogurt, and fruit today, so anything other than that would be great. Also, I'm not super hungry so…

Pineapple Rightside Up Cupcake RECIPE :)
I was looking for a regular recipe for Pineapple upside-down cupcakes to make for my bf, but decided to look for a recipe that I could make for myself, too. I found this one. It's only 122 calories per cupcakes and sounds quite yummy :) I'll be making the regular-recipe for my bf, and these for my family who is all on a…

Welcome!
We will officially start Monday December 5th, so I'll try to recruit more people by then!

December Challenge - NOT involving numbers on scale
I see a lot of challenges on here all revolving around shedding pounds. As much as I'd love to join one, I would fail terribly because my weight is not dropping as quickly as it used to. Whereas I used to lose 3 lbs a week, now I'm losing that in a month's time. Whether it be because I'm closer to my goal weight (don't be…

Favorite Unhealthy Food
Mine has always been cheeseburgers, but I haven't had one in 6-7 months and I don't miss it that much. However, my cravings for deep dish hawaiian pizza have yet to vanish. I don't plan on having any for at least another 6 months because it's that one food that I feel I cannot control myself with! What is your favorite…

What is thin?
Today I looked in the mirror and finally decided I am not fat because I looked good (with clothes on at least). But now that I'm thinking about it, I don't even know what thin is. I had thought I am thin because I'm a size 6 jeans (loose size 6) and I'm a size small shirts, and I when there are 3 of us who are going to sit…

MFP family :)
I've been here since May and I've been very successful in my weight-loss journey thanks to my self-control, dedication, and, of course, my MFP family. Since I've started, I've had to unfortunately weed-out people on my friend's list who either are not motivated enough to log-in often, or those who have too many excuses as…

What is your goal weight?
I'm 5'3, currently 139ish lbs (started at 197.6lbs), and set my first goal weight to 135, which is a "healthy" weight for my height (but on the upper-side of healthy - close to overweight). I'm so close to my goal and I'm noticing that there is no way I'm going to be satisfied at 135. I decided that my next goal will be…

chocolate!!
I'm a chocoholic. I have to have chocolate every. single. day. Except, instead of going for the Hershey's bar with almonds, I go for a fiber bar. I am in LOVE with Kellogg's Fiberplus Antioxidants Dark Chocolate Almond bars. I swear, they are just as good as any chocolate bar, and have 9grams of fiber! Plus vitamins A & E!…

Where are you getting your health info?
Suggestion: take everything you read on the forums with a grain of salt. It's ridiculous how people argue with each other over who is right and who isn't regarding health and nutrition questions & answers. Example: one poster was asking whether there is a difference with carbs coming from whole wheat/grain, and carbs from…

pineapple uside-down cupcakes
Sorry if I fooled you into thinking this was a healthy recipe, or a recipe at all. I want to make pineapple upside-down cupcakes (with cake mix from a box) but I'm not sure how to go about making the brown sugar & pineapple part that goes on the bottom of the pan, or in this case, in the bottom of the individual cupcake…

Food Stamps
I noticed that a lot of people who are on food stamps buy a lot of junk food. Why? I mean, it's money that's free to them; shouldn't they use it for healthy food? And how come a lot of people who are on food stamps either overweight or obese? Just an observation, so don't overreact. I know not ALL people on food stamps are…
-
Eat more?
I've been netting under 1000 calories all week. I got laid-off from my job, so I've been home all week and I just eat less and exercise more since I'm no longer as active as I was at work. Well, since I've started eating less, I've starting losing little to no weight. Obviously I need to eat more; however, I feel like I…

Workout videos on youtube?
I'm always wanting to try something new, and I know youtube can be a good source for workout routines. Do you guys have any channels you recommend? The higher the calorie burn the better :)

I HATE running!
I know nothing beats cardio for weight-loss, but I cannot stand running! It's so boring to me! I thought maybe it was just being on a treadmill is what made it boring, so I tried running outside, and I still hate it! Not to mention I get distracted by all the hot boys running with no shirts and super sexy rock-hard abs…

Fave spot to be kissed...
My hormones just will not quit lately, so things like this have been on my mind :wink: What's your favorite spot on your body to be kissed (other than that area between your legs, guys)? Mine is the neck (yes, please!), but I hate those damn purple marks it leaves behind...lol. It just feels sooooo goood!

No, YOU lost 51 lbs for me
I wrote this little blog that'll take you only a second to read. Pwease? I mean, I can't possibly write something if no one is going to read it. Besides, you already wasted your time reading alllll of thiiiis, so might as well click on the link and read it. Oh, and go ahead and give it a little thumbs up since your cursor…

Deli meat
I want to take a sandwich for lunch to work ('cause what's a more hassle-free lunch than a sandwich?) but I don't want to consume the crazy amounts of sodium in turkey or ham slices. Do you know of any deli meat (that I can buy at any grocery store) that has low sodium? Even the low-sodium turkey slices I've seen have…
-
Pollock?
I've never even had Pollock in my life, but I have some fillets that were given to me and I don't know how to prepare them. Can anyone help with any recipes? I was thinking of having a fillet for lunch tomorrow.

WTH??
This weekend was the worst for me in terms of food. In 3 days I ate: Chinese Food, Steak + some nachos @ Applebees, 2 cookies, a slice of chocolate cake, 5 boneless wings from Applebees, 2 tacos from Jack in the Box, a mini-snickers, a reese's cup, half a s'more, potato salad, mexican rice & mole, spaghetti with pesto,…

I give up.
I've been trying to stay under 100g carbs a day, and to stay under 1500mg of sodium a day, but most days I just cannot do it. Well, let me rephrase that, I CAN do it, but I guess I choose not to at the end of the day. I feel that if I continue to stress over that, I'm going to drive myself CRAZY! So, I give up. I'm going…
-
I have chicken and pasta sauce...
What can I make? I prefer not using the oven 'cause it's hot as hell and using the oven would only make it worse. Also, no recipes with lots of cheese, pleeeease :) I appreciate your ideas! :) p.s. they're chicken breasts
-
Shredded Chicken Recipes?
My momma is making chicken enchiladas tonight. I'm talking the authentic, amazing, delicious shredded chicken enchiladas that make your mouth water and your *kitten* jiggly. Needless to say, I will be keeping away from them (boo!), but momma set aside some shredded chicken for me to use however I please. This is where I…

Who's in Seattle??
I'm going to Seattle on Friday Sept 23rd, and if you're not psychos and murderers, we can meet and have breakfast and chat! If you ARE psychos and murderers, we can have brunch :)

cravings!
I get cravings for unhealthy food all of the friggin time, and certain times of the month they get stronger; but still, I get them all the time! I wish they'd have gone away after almost 4 months and 43lbs down, but nope, they're as strong as ever. Today I craved: Pizza (deep dish, hawaiian) Pumpkin Pie w/ whipped cream…
