Restart, Reset, whatever it is
Trying to eat healthy when you're a stress eater, and currently BEYOND stressed, is like trying to put a tutu on a mountain lion. So to tame my lion, I drink a lot more water to keep me 'full' and therefore, in the words of my girl Heather, am "peeing like a race horse". Need any more analogies? I've got plenty. I lost…

NSV - One size fits all?
Today my family was supposed to go to the zoo for mothers day. And then... the rain. So I was left with trying to find something else for us to do. Since it's MY day, I decided I wanted a new dress. Headed to Ross, but we got distracted with World Market first. Walked in and there's a blue floral spring dress with bows on…

100 lb reset - need more friends
Hey folks! I've been on MFP since May 2011. Lost 60 lbs last year and fell off the wagon a teeney tiny bit after some dental issues right before the holidays. Been back on the wagon, but realized I wasn't the only one that fell as a lot of my friends are inconsistent with logging or are "in the red" with logins. I need my…

Granola with my yogurt
I've ignored granola in yogurt forever since I typically don't like crunchy and smooth together. But I had a yogurt granola combo at Cracker Barrell and fell in love. I've gotten the yoplait granola, but it's pricey. Is there a good granola brand out there that's premade, ready to add to yogurt, etc, and preferably on the…

Low Fat Strawberry Banana Muffins
My daughter wanted to make muffins this evening for tomorrow's breakfast. Threw this together hoping it would come out ok, and it is very yummy and low cal! Granted I used ingredients on hand, so to modify, sub the pancake mix with flour and add 1 teaspoon each baking soda/baking powder. I do think the honey flavor of the…

Favorite workout music/artist - need good playlist
Hey guys! I'm trying to get together a great high beat playlist on my mp3 player for walking/jogging. What's your favorite music and/or playlists? So far my playlist consists of Switch from Will Smith, and well... that's it. LOL

I need of low calorie veggie dip ideas
I need to eat more raw veggies as I've been a slacker and been eating processed foods lately. I can tell as my weight loss has slowed drastically. SO... I need a little something for the green veggies to cover up the earthy flavor. I like to keep my snack calories at no more than 100 calories, so with veggies at around 25…

Abs sore - still work them tonight?
Hey folks - So my physical trainer once told me that the stiff, slight pain feeling in your muscles the day after the workout is them tearing down, and rebuilding. She also told me to work my abs daily since I have the post-c-section gut. Apparently I worked them a bit hard on Tuesday, as I'm still uncomfortable in the…

Snot vs Exercise, yeah, snot
So I'm looking for a scientific reason for this, as it throws me for a loop. Over the past three days I've had terrible allergies, a stuffy snotty nose, and I'm on the verge of a sinus infection I'm sure. My nose is currently a snot factory and I've gone through a box and a half of tissues. So when I decided I'd still try…

Children curiosity, future eating disorders?
Ok, so here's my situation. I'm a big girl, always have been; got up to 310 lbs at one point. I'm currently 276 thanks to MFP. My husband was 150(ish) lbs soaking wet when we met in 2000, and I fattened him up to 210 lbs. My step son is 12 1/2, and 50 lbs, and my daughter is 4 1/2 and 40 lbs. My son is below all growth…

Tofu Noodles
If you haven't tried these, do so NOW! No weird taste once you follow directions (smells a little strong when you first open the package), and comes out like al dente noodles. I had mine with marinara, garlic, and a sprinkle of cheese, and ended up with a full tummy at 140 calories. My boss found the Tofu noodles at a…
