Coming back after starvation diet
So I did something stupid. I fell for a scam. My chiropractor 's office told me they had a great fat loss program and I thought it sounded awesome. I thought I was just going to eat healthy and take some supplements while getting support from their coach. So, I signed up with my husband and paid them a lot of hard earned…

Has anyone else ever noticed that everytime you go to a restaurant with your family, spouse, whatever that there is almost ALWAYS someone else in the room who talks so loudly that you can hear everyrhing they say plain as day from across the room? This seems to happen to me all the time. It is SOOOO distracting and drives…

I want to hear your stories!
Ok, so I work in a phone store and I probably have at least one person every day who has ruined their phone and has none of their data backed up. And at least once a week I have someone who is peeved at me because they didn't back them up....or they did but they can't remember the password to get in. I have even had people…

backpackers and campers!
My husband and I are going on a trip to the Boundary waters (between MN and Canada) in a couple weeks. I am so excited but just wondering if any of you have gone on similar trips have any advice to offer us? We have read some books and he has gone before, but this will be my first time there. I love camping and outdoors…

it is 2013...get used to it
Sorry but I just have to rant today. What is with people who think that just because you take notes or put calendar events on an electronic device during a meeting that you are obviously texting your buddies about stupid crap? (And even if I were, if they are not my boss its none of their business anyway) I had this happen…

anyone else not crazy about fruit?
Let me start by saying that I love veggies. But... when it comes to fruit it just doesn't appeal to me that much. Maybe its because I live on the midwest and its hard to get good fruit here? I want to like it..and I eat it sometimes, but not as much as I should. Just wondering if anyone else is in this boat?

I feel "bulky" after starting Insanity
So I have only done Insanity for 2 days, so I know I shouldn't expect results...except for sore muscles, of course:) But this morning while getting ready for work I felt so bloated and just gross "bulky" ...not really muscular bulky...just more bloated. Anyway, I am wondering if anyone else has felt this? I know muscles…

Need gluten-free friends!
Ok, I guess I don't need gluten free friends, just friends who eat a gluten free diet. Thanks to mfp I have discovered that some of my health problems (mostly minor) and some weight and hunger issues are due to a gluten intolerance. I am looking for friends for support, sharing recipes, etc.

Dirty Looks from old ladies
I take my 18 month old daughter on my runs all the time in a running stroller. I love it and she loves it. I can't figure out though why I seem to get dirty looks from old ladies driving their cars while I'm running. I always have her dressed weather appropriately and bring along water for her and me. I just don't get it.…

School Lunches
I don't know about anyone else but I am way annoyed by the new school lunch guidelines. I don't eat school lunches but my kids do and I have several friends who work at the school and eat school lunches. Apparently the first lady's attempt at making school lunches "healthier" is causing some issues. I have two girls who…

Would you do this at work?
I have worked in the same office for five years and in the same field for almost ten. My boss refuses to hire someone to clean the place. She figures we can clean it on our own. Dont get me wrong, I dont mind doing some of it.....(like wiping off counters and dusting products). The problem is we are supposed to clean the…

I have been feeling ill for over a week and finally found out I have West Nile virus. My doc says I should be fine after a couple weeks but I've heard that's not always the case. When will I have the stamina to run again? The day before I got sick I ran 6 miles and felt great. :( Feeling frustrated

Guys in hoodies
OK I get that when a fighter is trying to cut weight he will put on layers and work out with warm clothes on to sweat out water weight. What I don't get is why I see guys who I know aren't fighters come onto the gym where its already almost 75 degrees and work out in hoodies with the hoods up? Can someone explain this to…

Trouble sleeping because of hunger?
Ok I'm not sure if I'm just weird, but lately I've been getting really hungry at bed time. Sometimes I will have a snack but I don't eat a lot because its late and I usually don't have many calories left. Then when I go to bed I have a hard time sleeping because my stomach is growling:( Has anyone found a way to combat…

Annoying phone habits
So this morning I am home sick with laryngitis and my phone rings. I am not sure why I answered it but I whispered, "hello?" And the person on the other end was looking for a Nathan. No one in my family is named Nathan so I told them they must have the wrong number. Ok, no big deal right? But then they proceed to give me…

EWhat to do with my sugar addiction...
So I feel as if my scale is stuck. I have been within my calories for several weeks and haven't lost a single pound. Ugh. Even though I'm within my calorie limit most days I do eat too much sugar:( I am breastfeeding so I'm allowed a few extra calories and I have it set to 20 oz. which is actually less than my 6 month old…
