WANTED: Ground Turkey Recipe
Hi All! I have a pound of ground turkey at home and need a low calorie recipe for tonights dinner! Hubby is getting slightly sick of my low-calorie pasta dishes (I've been making spaghetti with spaghetti squash and no-noodle lasagna with zucchini), so that's out. Any ideas are welcome! =)

NSV - Jeans
So, while getting dressed this morning (half asleep, I should add), I put on jeans and I thought "wow, these are fitting weird"... The waist was slightly snug (which frustrated me because my jeans have been fitting so much better lately!), but I was more concerned that the crotch was was lower than normal....... It took me…

Natural Sugar... Help?
My sugar count is consistently over. But, most of it is natural sugars (i.e. fruit) I'm allowed 24 sugar according to MFP, but I just logged my breakfast (Special K with a banana) and a snack I'm planning on having later (Wheat Thins w/ laughing cow cheese wedge), and I'm ALREADY at 34 sugars. This is before logging lunch,…

Unsupportive, Snarky Co-Worker
So, a little background information. I work in an office that is pretty evenly split gender-wise. The men I work with have noticed my weight loss; even though it's only 8 lbs as of now. They're careful about what they say, but they're not afraid to let me know they've noticed. The women, for the most part, don't notice (or…

A Re-Introduction...
I'm returning to MFP after a hiatus that shouldn't have lasted as long as it did (4 months). I'm looking for new MFP friends, since all my old MFP friends have basically reached their goal weight and do not take MFP as seriously anymore. When I was a member here back in April/May 2011, I lost 13 pounds in just over a…

Desk Job Exercises?
Does anyone have any suggestions for some effective desk job exercises? I work at a desk Mon-Fri from 7am-6pm, and also spend a hour driving to/from work to home. That's 12 hours! I lose half of my day at work! I do work out on my elliptical at home (I try to do at least 30-60 minutes daily), but I'm looking for something…

Going over sugar daily?
My current sugar "goal" is 24. I exceed this amount by 20-30 on a daily basis. This is because I eat fruit for breakfast and lunch (I love bananas, and MFP is telling me the banana I ate for lunch was 17 sugar), and usually a salad with dinner. I love Yoplait yogurt, and most of their yogurt alone has 14 sugar, and I also…

I "Lost" My Cat! NSV
I was really concerned about weighing in this morning, I peeked at the scale last night and wasn't happy with what I saw. However, when I woke up this morning and weighed myself, I realized I've lost my cat! Not literally, of course... No worries, cat lovers... She's safe and sound watching birds at our patio window right…

How to track Zumba??
I am attending my first Zumba class tonight! I'm really excited, but I'm not sure how to track it? I noticed there's different "dance" categories; but none really fit "zumba". How do you track Zumba?

Running to Ireland.
So, it's been my lifelong dream to visit Ireland. I think the photos are gorgeous, love the culture and the people! My husband and I decided that we'll definitely visit there someday for our anniversary vacation. But, until then, I'm planning on running there! According to Google, there is 3,175 miles seperating New York…

Twilight Breaking Dawn: Part I Challenge?
I saw someone post something about creating a Breaking Dawn Weight Loss Challenge! I'd love to join, but I can't find the thread to save my life right now........ Anyone point me in the right direction?

MFP Calories vs. Machine Calories?
I have been tracking the calorie loss my elliptical says over the calorie loss MFP suggests I lost, but why the large difference?! For example, 30 minutes on my elliptical is telling me I've lost roughly 260 calories. But, MFP is telling me I should have lost over 400? I don't exactly go "real fast" on my elliptical, but…

AN AT WORK - NSV
So, I've been a member here for about 5 days now (although I started eating healthier about a week and a half ago). I lost 5 lbs. last Saturday when I did my first official weigh in, and wont be weighing again until this weekend. But, I noticed that I just "fit" better in my desk chair at work than I did Friday! It was…

Lady Issues
Sorry in advance for any fellas that run into this; but it's a serious question. So Ladies, has your diet thrown off your menstrual cycle at all? This is my first full week dieting/exercising and I managed to drop 5 lbs. (Most of which I'm aware is probably water weight). Now it seems like my period has decided to show up…
