Morbidly Obese Friend
So, I know I'm overweight, actually technically obese, but I'm here and I'm working on it. I have a wonderful friend that I've known most of my life who is quite large. She's diabetic now. She's at her largest, and she's always been big. She never reveals her weight, but I'm guessing at least 400. I love her, but I'm…

Loose dogs :(
I went jogging this evening with my dogs ON A LEASH and we ran into a bit of trouble. There were 3 dogs running around loose with no one watching them or anything. So when they came up to us, all running and noisy, my big sweet dog got protective. One of them jumped on my little dog, so my big one grabbed it and pulled it…

You win this round, MFP. (shakes fist...)
I woke this morning in misery. Monthly, hormone induced misery. And I made a decision. Today is MY day. I will log my food to stay in the habit, but I will NOT care what I eat. I will eat what I want. I made plans. Good ones. The thought of comfort in the form of chocolate, carbs, pj's, and Midol made me smile. And I…

A very non-success success
After carefully planning my weekend's meals and pre-logging a bunch of stuff to keep a plan in mind, I kinda blew it yesterday. In a pretty stinkin big way. Like 850 calories over what I should have eaten. So my success? I know that I went over by 850 calories. I have started and restarted MFP several times. Each time I…

smells good...
So I tried some new deodorant today and every time i lift my arms for anything, I'm like "What's that nice smell? Oh, it's my pits!" I love it when that happens! :laugh:

Oven Fries
I might be a little late to the game here, but I just discovered this today - If you want your oven baked fries to be crispy like real ones, add a bit of sugar! So yummy! Very simple recipe: 3 russet potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch fries (It weighed about 550 grams) 1 Tablespoon olive oil 2 teaspoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt You…

Nutritional Yeast
Has anyone tried nutritional yeast? I've read about people using it as a seasoning. If you have, what do you think? I'm thinking of trying some.

my daughter
I realized today that I've been successful in something. Part of my goal has been to raise my daughter to eat and enjoy healthy foods so she doesn't have the same issues with food I've had. This has been my goal since I found out I was pregnant with her. She's now four years old and loves a variety of foods, and while she…

workout dvd's
So, I'm curious about everyone's home workouts. My husband and I are complete opposites in this regard. He's taken up 10 minute trainer DVD's in addition to jogging and biking. I love the jogging and biking, however, I have learned that I HATE short workouts!!!! I'm very uncoordinated, so trying to mix all these exercises…

horrid week...
So, I had one great week, and one not so great week. Grumpy, tired, ate whatever, didn't work out. The only reason I'm posting this is to keep myself accountable so it doesn't turn into another bad week. My attitude was a bit better today, and I'm planning on working out when I get off work. I started by logging my food…

Not your normal turkey burger...
It's not normal because it's actually good!! Every turkey burger I've tried is bland and gross, but this one is delicious - even my family loves them. I found the recipe on momswhothink.com under Healthy Menus, week one, Zesty Turkey Burgers. It makes 6 servings. In the recipe calculator, each burger (burger only, no bun,…

I resisted!
.....Actually, strangely enough, I wasn't even tempted! I got off work this morning at 7, and have a lot of packing to do today, so I decided I needed a little caffeine. Now I know not even Diet sodas are healthy, but I ABHOR coffee, so, you gotta do what you gotta do... Went to Sonic to get a Diet Dr. Pepper. I like fast…

Howdy!
I'm starting MFP again after ignoring it long enough to GAIN weight instead of losing it... So, yeah, awesome. I currently weigh 202, and I'm wanting to get to 125-130, and after lurking around the message boards for a couple of weeks moping, I'm finally feeling motivated! My husband is getting in on it too, not MFP, but…

AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
So frustrated with myself - I am the world's greatest procrastinator, and now I have 20 MORE pounds to lose than when I found MFP. Grrr... Need a swift kick in the butt!!! I'm going to work out right now!

where did it go?
My main source of exercise is gone. My bike was stolen. This happened like three weeks ago, but we had a stream of visitors, and I didn't want it to ruin my fun with them. Now that they're gone, it hit me. It's just gone. I know this sounds silly. I'm an adult, and somebody took my bike! :-) But you have to know - I just…
