Challenge: Can you stop nighttime snacking for a whole month
A little over a year ago, my friend dewdrop put out a challenge to forgo snacking at night. It was a great challenge and helped me lose a little weight. For several months thereafter, I renewed her challenge. Unfortunately, I fell off the wagon. Now, after a hiatus of several months, I am back on mfp. I need the…

The New "No more late night snacks challenge"
Dewpearl originally started this great challenge, but it seems to have died off. Since we just started a new year, made new (or old) resolutions and have members who have just joined mfp, I thought I'd renew her challenge. First, determine what time works best for you as a cut-off time after which NO MORE SNACKS. Then,…

Tuesday morning Purples
Good morning Purple Team- I'm glued to my TV, watching the inauguration. I should be at the Y or doing chores, but here I am. I am so afraid that I'll over-indulge since I am watching TV. I am not a political person, but today is about so much more than politics. It is history in the making and I can't seem to drag myself…

Where's the Blue Team?
I realized I haven't seen a Blue Team thread yet and thought I'd start one. So, how is everyone and what have you been up to? I've been substitute teaching last week and this week so I haven't been on my computer as much. What I have been doing is running around school all day and not raiding my kitchen cupboards all day…

hungry, cranky and discouraged
I think the title says it all - hungry, cranky and discouraged. I don't mean to be a downer, but I'm hoping I'll feel better if I vent. This is at least the 2nd or 3rd time my ticker has gone in the wrong direction. It's my own fault. I guess I don't want to lose weight enough or be healthy enough to starve or spend every…

Do you trust treadmill calorie counts?
I log about 35 miles a week of treadmill walking. Bad knees and back prevent running. I usually have the treadmill at the highest incline - #15 and walk about 5 mph. The calorie count is usually about 1450 when I enter my current age and weight. Does this sound right or should I be discounting this count?

Avoiding temptation
Today is my 3rd day using mfp and I think it's great. I've already lost 3 pounds. My issue for today is how to avoid the temptation of snacks and desserts (my husband made the BEST bread pudding) with a houseful of guests coming this afternoon and for dinner. My husband plans on making Belgian waffles tomorrow morning for…
