Lost momentum
After 3 years of constant logging and monitoring, I lost 45 lbs, which was honestly about 10lbs below my goal weight. People were saying I looked too thin, so I thought I could stop logging to put back on a few pounds. Problem is, I've gained back 20 lbs, and now I have work to do again. I got rid of all my clothes that…

Tuna Qunioa Fritters
I made the most DELICIOUS baked Qunioa Fritters. They ended up being less than 100 Calories for a decent sized fritter. (I ate 4 for a very filling dinner) I modified this recipe: http://whatscookingmexico.com/2008/07/11/tuna-and-quinoa-cakes/ 1/2 C. Quinoa 1 C. chicken or veggie broth of your choice (I used 1tsp Better…

Need a little support to maintain.
It's been a few months since I've logged any calories into MFP. I was recording every single bite for about a year, and lost 35lbs doing it. (I never had a "goal weight" in mind, but this is the healthiest and slimmest I've been since high-school.) I didn't necessarily "give up" - but I'd like to get to a point where I'm…

Elliptical NSV!
The elliptical at the gym has been my cardio of choice for a couple years now. I used to only do 3 miles or 30 min whichever came first. I couldn't wait to get it over with, and I never really took it seriously. Recently I've had to significantly increase the incline and the resistance to get the same workout in 30…

Avocado Smoothie

I've made avocado smoothies twice now, and thought I should share my findings: In your blender combine: 1 15oz can of peaches (drained and rinsed) 1 11oz can of mandarin oranges (drained and rinsed) 1/2 c. yogurt (I used…

It's a great way to spruce up your oatmeal, and feel full. For lunch: 1 can albacore tuna,…

NSV
Just wanted to share. I started MFP 1 month ago, the week after my best friend's wedding. The dress I wore to her bachlorette party fit very snugly to the point of being a little uncomfortable all night. I tried it on today, just for fun. The first thing I noticed was that I didn't even struggle zipping it up! Then I…

Weekends...
Does anyone have any strategies for eating and/or logging foods on the weekends? During the week I'm very careful (almost compulsive) about measuring out portion sizes for my breakfasts and lunches at work - and I always enter everything into the site as it eat it (perks of having an office job where I'm at the computer).…
