Ideas for High Fiber recipe a teen would eat??
I have a teen that just hates all of the high fiber recipes I've tried. She hates nuts of any kind, hates the taste of wheat. Doesn't like fruit. Loves green vegis though. Any ideas on recipes with natural fiber from foods other than vegis?

MFP is pretty spot on!
Second time around, posting 5 weeks out how much MFP says I should weight if I 'eat like this', and for the second time I'm within a pound of what it says I should be. The first time, I was exactly what it said I should be, and this time I'm .6 over. This sight has been wonderful!!!! :bigsmile: THANK-YOU MFP!!

Am I correct that when toning vs. building muscles ...
Slower reps tone, and fast pumps build muscle?? I forget. I want to tone my arms and legs, not build muscle. Am I correct that the slower and steady lifting = toning, and fast reps = muscle??

NSV Surprise!
Just for fun, I went back to the days before I started MFP for my Diabetic D-Tour and weight loss - plugged in an OLD normal day of eating. Holy Cow!!! I don't think I could eat that much anymore, the calories (2100 - 3400) ?? Carbs??? Fat?? Sugars??? WAY off the charts. AND, no exercise!!! Now I know why I'm losing weight…

Etiquette and eating out with a group when someone else is p
I'm going to lunch with our office Friday, and one of the guys is paying. It's pizza, which usually means we all share pizza. I can't eat the crust, and was just wondering what would be proper etiquette to eat within my food requirements without offending, expecting him to pay extra for my choice, or being gross to others…

I chose PB & sugar free J on WW bagel thins, cocoa almonds, Jello sugar free double chocolate pudding, micro popcorn, and 100 cal. pack pecan…

Women over 50!
Does your skin ever catch up to your weight loss?? I used to be very active as a kid/teen/young adult and very muscular, baked in the sun - killed my skin. I've let myself go, and now for the first time, I'm flabby. Will working out eventually tighten up the skin to the weight loss? I hope!

Laughing!!! I just realized why I'm not loosing weight!!
:laugh: When I started MFP a few months ago, I set a realistic goal of losing 20 lbs. Great - almost there! (Even though, I really want to loose 40). I have been trudging along almost on 'MAINTENANCE MODE' for the past 2-3 weeks (loosing only 1 lb.) !!! :laugh: No wonder! I just re-adjusted to lose another 20 lbs., and my…

NSV!!!
Went to my usual grocery store today, and one of the gals, who I see every time I'm there, helped me get my diabetes test strips said, "You've lost a lot of weight.... A lot of weight"! Just goes to show that 20 lbs. IS seen by others, even though I can't see so much difference. Gives me the incentive to loose another 20…

I just heard on 'Rachael Rae' about "The 4 hour body". The author gave 3 of his tips for weight loss and toning, and I just tried one that took all of 3 minutes, and I really feel the burn! 1. For toning arms/back - stand up and hold one hand over the opposite wrist/arm. Count 5 seconds as you lift with the wrist arm and…

Salt substitute?? During prep or After??
Didn't really realize how much I love salt, and what it does to food. Really didn't know how much 'sodium' a pinch of salt holds! Is there a salt substitute out there and if so, how do you use it? And is it better to salt when preparing food, or salt your own at your plate after it's served up?

Proportion control good tip!
I have had to stop eating white bread and turn to multi-grain. Not my favorite thing to eat. But, I have found one amazing difference doing so... I get a multi-grain bread loaf that is un-cut, and I cut extremely skinny slices (two slices is the equivalent of 1 regular pre-cut slice). Tonight I was able to have 2 full size…

I see everyone obsessed with getting in enough excerse, but one thing I have noticed with those trying to loose weight: When I peek at their food diary - on those that are available, I see very litte fiber (beans, nuts) and very few, if any vegetables. I have doubled the amount of fiber in my diet, and I feel full and…
