Gluten-Free Cake?
I'm looking for a good cake recipe that's GLUTEN-FREE (very important!!!) It's good if it's low in calories, but most important is taste. I'm making it for a friend who suffers from celiac disease's birthday on Monday! Any help is appreciated. :smile:

Need motivation!!!
I have reached what I consider to be a decent weight. I feel and look good, so I'm happy! Ideally I would like to lose another 5 lbs or so, but I just can't get the motivation to do so! I only require about 1450 calories a day and I feel like I'm hungry all the time when I eat just 1200. :( I'm at school all day and even…

Quitting Smoking?
Hi guys, I've noticed that quite a few of you seem to be ex-smokers, and I could use your advice! I don't smoke, never have, but my boyfriend smokes constantly. He says he wants to quit, and I know he is actually quite ashamed of the habit. Things have been stressful for him lately, and I've noticed a real increase in how…

Bag Lunch Options?
Hello all, I am in need of your wisdom and advice! Most days I have class from 9am-6pm, with a short break for lunch. It is not really enough time to go out and find something or to go home, so most days I stay close to the school. The cafe at school has some healthier options, but they are usually sold out before my lunch…

High School Weight vs. Current
I was thinking about how so many of us here want to weigh/look like we did in high school, myself included (admittedly this was not that long ago for me). But today I remembered that I had grown two inches since then, and wondered if my BMI was still roughly the same, and it was! High school stats (me at 16, or 5 years…

Taking Things Too Far?
My mother has been obsessed with weight loss since January. Don't get me wrong, I am very proud of her for losing what she has, but I think she has taken it too far and it is starting to worry me. At 5'6" and 53 years old, she started at 166 lbs. and starved herself throughout the winter (800-900 calories a day) to reach…

BC Pills
I've been taking Alesse for just over a year now, but today when I went to get my prescription refilled, they gave me something called aviane? I asked the pharmacist and she said it's just the generic brand of Alesse, but I've been given a DIFFERENT generic one before, so this all seems fishy. I googled it though, and…

Quick Way to Lose
Tip for easy portion control... I made dinner for two, ate half of mine then dropped it on the floor! LOL. It's more funny than anything, but I am still hungry now! :laugh:

What's Wrong?
I lost seven lbs. in two months, but this past month I have only lost 1, maybe 1.5 lb. Why is it taking so long?? I wasn't recording what I ate in those first couple months, but I think it was under 1000 calories a day, and I have since increased it to 1200 or 1300 + exercise (and yes, I am eating those calories too). Any…

On the right track!
Apparently we are all on the right track! People who keep a food diary lose twice as much weight as those who don't. the story is here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080708/hl_nm/diet_diary_dc

Struggling to eat 1200 calories
I have been eating about 900 calories a day (+ exercise at least 3 days a week) for a while now, and am still not losing any weight. MFP suggests I eat 1200 BEFORE exercise, and since I seem to have hit a weight plateau, I think it might be a good idea to increase my intake a little. However, I just seem to naturally eat…
