Calling all Celiac people!!!
So I have struggled for over a year to lose weight. It seems like every 8-9 weeks, I lose a pound or so, but nothing really substantial. In logging for over 400 days, I have only lost about 28 pounds (and that fluctuates often!). I would love to view the diaries of people who have Celiac to gain some inspiration. Anyone…

Not understanding my issue!!
So I have been weighing my foods, measuring and counting calories on MFP since last November. I take my breaks at work and walk and have recently (week 3 almost done!!) started the c25k program to see if it would "jumpstart" my weightloss. In February, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease. Because of this, there are few…

Pattern of starving...
I have noticed that about every 3-4 weeks, I go through a pattern of absolute starvation! I usually blow it and eat about 500 more calories (sometimes more!) for that day or two. Now I do understand that this is not a good thing and was just asking for advice on the topic. Does anyone else have this type of cycle and is it…

Sabotage!!
I love a certain family member, but I have decided that looking back over the last 25 years, every time I have started a diet, she seems to "pickup" the extra baked goods and send them to my house. She claims that these are for my husband and kids, but she also knows how weak I am with my eating habits. In addition, I…
