It's me again Margrett...
Hello! I can't really call myself a newbie...I guess I'm better described as a former member trying to rededicate. From January 2010 - January 2011, with the help of MFP, I went from 209 to 154. I still wasn't at my goal weight but was just kind of burnt out, so I decided to just lay back and maintain. I thought I had…

Salad suggestions...
Ok, this may be a silly question, but here goes anyway. I love salads. However, I am the only person in my house who ever eats them. So, I go out and buy a bag of baby spring mix, some carrots, some sprouts, some cucumbers, toms, etc. You get my point. Three days and 2 or 3 salads later my mix is brown and my carrots are…

NSV
I used to be an avid diet coke drinker. Now all I drink is water, coffee, hot tea, and unsweet iced tea. I went with a friend to subway and I had a coupon where I saved money if I bought the meal. So, I decided to get an unsweet tea. After I had already paid, I found out that the unsweet vat was empty. They also did not…

Creative Cardio Exercises...Any suggestions?
My daughter, who will be 10 in about 2 week, was born without part of her right leg. She has always worn a prosthetic and been very active. She has been in plays, been on a flag football team, been a cheerleader, etc. However, about 2 years ago, she started having trouble with her knee dislocating. The problem has gotten…

P90X Day 1!
Ok. I started P90X (again - long story) a few months ago. It was just a few weeks after an abdominal surgery and I was having to do a lot of modifications. I realized that I wasn't going to get the results I wanted out of the program, so I didn't consider myself in a round. I did do a few of the workouts but not in the set…

Help me understand...
Ok, I did a really good job of counting my calories for a while. MFP tells me to eat 1200 cals. I manually set my goal at 1100, not because I want to go under 1200, but because I am terrible with portions and while I try to weigh at home, there are usually times during the day that I can't (like at work or eating out) and…

This had to be a test of my motivation...
So, I haven't done well for the past week becuase my husband was out of town for about 4 days (leaving me with all the kid duties including sports, etc.) and then my baby got sick. Anyway, I was all geared up to start fresh today with diet and workout. So, I got up and got the kids ready. When they were all prepped to go…

Wii Board v. Scale?
Does anyone use their Wii board as a scale so long as it is on a flat surface? I used to only use that. However, another lady at my office has a scale in her office and I started using that. Haven't been on the Wii in several months. I used it today and it says I weigh 168 (on the naked setting). The scale at work says…

I'm so annoyed with myself...
Ok, so I put myself in a position where fast food was kind of a must for me tonight. My life has been get up at 5:30 to work out (when I can make myself). Get the kids ready and run then in 3 different directions. Be at work by 8:30. Leave for lunch at 12:00 to pick up kids from band practice. Be back at work by 1. Get off…
