Oh....My......Lanta.......
Deep fried lasagna. Just take a moment to let that sink in. We're going to the fair on Saturday and I'm looking at the vendor map and this is one of the food places. It's got to be a million calories a slice but one of those things you can't just skip right? lol. What kind of fried goodness have you had? I think I once had…

The Calorie Guessing Game Round 1
How much do you think this beauty is per pan regular cake pan size...? http://www.budgetbytes.com/2011/08/summer-vegetable-tian/ (And yes, I'll probably average your guesses because I didn't weigh anything before making 2.5 pans of this tasty goodness...in the oven right now ;)

Double NSV today :)
2 interesting facts first: I just googled "NSV" yesterday to figure out what the heck it meant lol, and I didn't feel like I had any real success to show since I started on here (*really* started) July 25th...but I decided it wouldn't hurt to share :) I participated in my first 5k today (woot!). I still have a little over…

Calories in cardboard?
Sometimes I just feel like putting my fingers in my ears and humming very very loudly. How do you makes heads or tails of science and nutrition? For each person that says cow's milk is bad, someone else says soy milk is worse....chia seeds are a miracle...or they cause cancer. How and where do you get your info and how do…

"It's just water weight"
I know my friend wasn't meaning to insult, but after mentioning the 7 pounds I lost in my 1st month on here, but that I don't feel it too much in my clothes, she said "yeah, those first 5-10 pounds are usually water weight". I was a smidge crushed :( From my understanding of water weight loss....it doesn't make sense...is…

Motivation...when you can't exercise?
I suppose I can exercise by walking some like I did this morning, my hip is bothering me but not screaming too bad. My left shoulder on the other hand.....makes me want to cry right now. I want so badly to be jogging, to be using my punching bag... I know I could just eat at a calorie deficit and still lose weight but I…

In Need of FISH Recipes
My dad loves his fishing but they don't always eat it fast enough, so my mom just gave us a box full of frozen fish. We're talking mostly trout with some bass, rock fish, and crappie. I am not usually a huge fish eater because #1 the bones (my dad does a decent filet job.....but there inevitably is going to be 1 or…

I've got a smidge of a complaint....
It drives me nutty when founds are listed by the ounce or some other measuring....If I'm having salsa and chips, I measure out by tablespoons my salsa and a number of chips (for example)...I don't measure out x many ounces of chips....who does that?! Why in sam's hill can't they put an estimated quantity? I don't always…

Do you need a kick in the butt or a pat on the back?
I realized that some remarks some people on here are offensive to me....life right? I realized that we're all a little different in what motivation we need. Are you the kind of person that needs someone to tell you "get off the couch fatty!" or the kind that needs a helping hand and an "anything is better than nothing,…

If you could pick just 1 food to be homegrown...
I grew up with a garden and miss having that. I LOOOOOOVE homegrown tomatoes. Have never had a store-bought one that tastes half as good. If I could have a garden and could only grow 1 thing, that would be it. What about you?

Question for the Ladies...
I re-dedicated myself to being healthier July 25th. On that day, my period came...ok, that's life laughing at me. And then it lasted....for 2.5 weeks. Finally ended...for 3 days. And now it started up again. I can't think of anything else that could have changed. If anything, I usually skip periods but have them for 7…

Looking for active people needing to lose 100+ lbs
I've got some friends on here but most don't get on very often and it's hard for me to relate to someone that only has 10 pounds to lose....Feel free to add me if you're in the same boat. I'm struggling a bit today with discouragement...I think I just need a pat on the back now and then :P

Anyone have a crafty idea?
I'm thinking of getting some custom workout t-shirts made. Like listing why I'm dedicated, and how much weight I've lost. Can you think of any sort of method I can make a shirt where I can change the weight amount on it? Like "______ lbs lost since July 2013" and a dry erase or something? Probably can't make it work, but…

Weight Loss Reset Possible?
I technically started my profile here over 2 years ago. I didn't last long...might have had something to do with meeting my husband at about the same time and getting too distracted with a handsome man ;) Either way....in those 2 years I unfortunately gained over 20 pounds....and now I'm back on and losing. I lost 2.4 lbs…

Healthy and SIMPLE breakfast ideas
I've always had to have breakfast. I don't care how early I wake up-my body has gone hours without food and I get sick if I don't. But that's good right, they say you should eat breakfast :) I learned when I married my husband that we are from 2 very different versions of health with the families we were raised in. But we…

I was all excited, and then I saw the number :(
I joined this site over 2 years ago but didn't last long (truth be told, I think it was right around the time I met my husband). He loves me despite my being over 100 lbs over weight. He could use to lose a few, but nothing like me. So it's not like I just "let myself go" but I think we've been eating a lot less healthy…

Energy without the Calories?
I have always struggled with having energy. As I type, I'm thinking that I should go take a nap :P I know I've had iron problems in the past, I don't take my vitamin d/b as much as I probably should, and last time I was checked by the dr (granted it was 5 years ago) I wasn't diabetic. Aside from getting enough sleep and…

And if I don't like water......?
I know water is good for you. I try to drink it. I can't take that much without at least adding some sugar free flavoring to it. But I've also become accustomed to drinking a bottle of pop at work-need it to keep me going (not a coffee drinker). I'm working on the 8 glasses a day and I'm wondering, can I count my pop as…
