Breakfast
I’m looking for some bread free breakfast ideas! I’m allergic to eggs, so that’s not an option. Send me your recipes! Also, I hate smoothies and protein powder, so those aren’t an option either. Thanks!!

NSV??
What is one NSV, either short term or long term, that you hope to achieve?? After taking a shower yesterday, I realized that I REALLY want to be able to wrap a bath towel around myself, and have it completely closed instead of having a gap showing my bits. 😆

So Discouraged 😔
I’m in need of a bit of a pick me up. Today I was getting onto our large unicorn floaty with my 5 year old niece. She proceeded to yell “I don’t want you to bust it Aunty Sydney!”. She again said the same thing a little bit later when I was on it. I asked her why she thought I would bust it. She very carefully thought of…

Fitness after babies?
I’m 4 months postpartum and now ready to start working on my health. I’m in the worst shape I’ve ever been in. I get winded by just going up the stairs! I’m looking for some encouragement from other mommas who are working towards a healthier life after baby. I’m finding it very difficult to get motivated and finding time…

New rules of weightifting for women
Has anyone tried this program, or is currently doing it? I'm wondering what it's like. Of course I know it's suggested that women do weightlifting and I've always wanted to. But I've never really used any of the bigger gym equipment before. Has anyone had any great success with it? Please post your pics!!

weight loss when travelling?
So I have a bit of a dilemma. In 10 days, I leave for a 2 week trip to Italy. Of course that's the good part and I'm soooo excited! But I'm worried about the food and exercise. Our schedule is packed, so at least we'll be doing a lot of walking. I don't want to limit myself on food. Does anyone have any tips for staying on…

May goals
In order to help motivate myself, I've set some goals for the month of May. They include: 1) lose 5lbs OR any amount of inches 2) do 10 regular (non modified) push-ups 3) have 1 straight non-coffee/non-tea week (very difficult for me. I'm a heavy black tea drinker) 4) go for a walk every night after supper 5) not skip a…

Looking for friends!
Hi everyone! I'm 26, 5"1', and possibly have PCOS (waiting to be diagnosed). I've lost weight before, but stupidly let myself get back to where I was in the beginning. I've been married almost a year now, but finding it a lot more difficult to lose weight this time around, now that I'm living with my husband (not blaming…

In need of serious support
So I joined MFP quite a while back, and I was successful and dropped around 45lbs. Then I started to slow down. It was getting harder and harder to lose weight. Eventually, I completely stalled. For months, and months. I tried everything. I tried increasing the intensity of my workouts, tried eating more, tried different…

Ive noticed a huge difference in my body so far, and im excited to see more progress. Now my problem is that I've always had larger legs. Huge quads and hamstrings, and really big calf muscles. Since ive…

Feel free to add me!! :)

Finally!!! 46lbs GONE!!!
So I've been working on losing weight and getting fit for about a year now. I made several attempts in the past, but never had my whole heart in it. Christmas of 2012 is when I finally decided, enough is enough. I was at my heaviest weight, and felt like total crap. During that Christmas alone, I had actually gained about…

Stuck!!!!
So I've been stuck in a plateau for about 2 months now, and it's driving me nuts!!! I can't figure out how to get out of it. I eat pretty healthy, and I don't eat too much. I try to stick between 1200 and 1300 cals. I workout at least 5 days a week and burn between 250 to 500 cals per day, depending on the workout. I…

NSV!!!!!!!!!
So this is probably the biggest nsv I've had so far. When I started my journey, I was very unhealthy, to the point where it actually terrified me. I had enough. So i started Turbo Fire. I noticed my cardio improved drastically over 2 months. Unfortunately, I started to battle some pretty nasty shin splints, and had to stop…

if you like to run!
If you like to run, I suggest that you download the app "Charity Miles". For every mile you run, an organization will donate 25 cents to the charity of your choosing, and 10 cents for every mile that you bike. It's a great app and motivates you to raise money, just by moving! Of course it works by GPS if it's built into…

Shoes or no shoes?
So I'm in my third week of turbo fire, and from the start, I haven't really been able to wear my shoes while working out. They seem to just kill my feet, especially my arch. I don't know if it's my shoes, or that I'm always on my toes during the workout. Does anyone else have problems wearing shoes during workouts, or is…

Christmas Detox
So tomorrow I'm finally going home after being at my parent's place for 3 weeks during the holidays. Needless to say, I've gained weight and feel like crap. Does anyone have a really good detox recipe that'll help me feel better and get me back on track?

Turbo Fire help!!!
For those of you doing Turbo Fire....are you JUST doing the Turbo Fire workouts??? Or are you doing Turbo Fire on top of a normal gym routine??? I'm SOOOO frustrated that I'm not losing weight. I stopped at 5lbs. I usually always eat healthy, and always leave 200 to 500 calories uneaten. I drink plenty of water....I'm…

So Proud of myself!!!!
This is kind of a mental NSV for me. I had to rest for 2 days because something was wrong with my back, between my shoulder blade and spine. It was almost like a pulled muscle/kink. So I rested, and I got back to the gym today, but I felt soooo upset because I tried to run on the treadmill, and for some reason, it was…

I had an AWESOME NSV today that I've been working on for weeks now! I FINALLY made it to the very top of the rock climbing wall!! I was only able to do it once, but I still did it!! My next goal, is to either do it twice, or to reach the top of a different wall!! :D

Running Pains
So I was wondering if it was just me, or if other people get this too. When I go running, I tend to get sharp pains in my side, and it becomes hard to breathe and move. I've been told in class that it's a buildup of lactic acid, but is there any way to get rid of this???

Stretch Marks
Hey everyone, so I have a question about stretch marks... I have stretch marks all around my belly, and I know they don't go away, but they fade a little bit from that red new stretch mark to a white one. But when you lose weight, do they fade even more, or do they still stay that crappy shade of white that screams look at…

More Friends!!
I'm in need of more friends!!! I like people to help motivate me! Not many of my friends have been encouraging me anymore (no offence to any of my friends on here cause I love them all!), so I'm thinking I need some more friends to help support me. It's really tough for me to stay motivated, and I often crash!

Heartburn
So I've noticed more and more lately that I get heartburn either during or after working out....does this happen to anyone else? Maybe I'm eating too little before I workout?

Translation?
Ok, so I know this is COMPLETELY off topic!! But I need some help with a translation. I want to get a tattoo of one of the commandments on my foot "Honour thy father and mother".
