New and Improved Ice Cream Review Thread
Hey all! Happy New Year, 2016. Since our fearless leader's original ice cream review thread has poofed, and since I have yet to receive a response from the powers that be about whether we might expect to get it back, I've decided to start a new thread. I'm not here as often as I once was, but I do have two new ice creams…

This is a thread for posting ice cream or gelato recipes. Recipes can be your own, recipes from other sources that you have tried, or recipes that you would like to try. If you've made the recipe in question I'm sure our members would greatly appreciate the calorie/macro data and any changes that you made. Thanks and happy…

Sweat, Tears, and the Sea: Three Years of MFP
"The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea." --Isaac Dinesen This is me now, the way you all know me: But I haven't always been like this. Tomorrow is the third anniversary of my first MFP login. Some days I don’t even feel like the same person that I was then. For one thing, I was heavy. But that’s not…

A success story in the making
Someone bumped my success story today. I posted it back in February and sometimes it gets bumped randomly. I'm not sure why. If you're interested, it's here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1202245-sweat-tears-and-the-sea-three-years-of-mfp The reason I'm posting though is to tell you that there's more to every…

Acrylics' Bulking Log
Okay so it's day 1 of bulking for me. I haven't completely nailed everything down yet-- working with Davpul and Sarauk2sf to figure out the best workout strategy. So for today I'm just going to do the last 5/3/1 workout of the cycle. Goals: to build a bigger booty to increase my lifts (squatting body weight for reps is a…

Kitty Ketosis?
A couple of weeks ago, my husband got me a kitten for our anniversary. I’ve never had a cat before. So I got him a kitty box, scratching post, etc. and we’ve been having the best time getting to know him. The only problem is that the past few days I keep getting whiffs of ammonia when I walk by his corner of the kitchen.…

Chicken Thigh and Veggie Skillet
This is not exactly a low calorie recipe, but it is worth every calorie. The exact count is going to vary depending on the grams of the potatoes/carrots you use and how you divide it up, but my count for the whole skillet was 1316 total (99 grams carbs/57 grams fat/61 protein). My husband and I divided the veggies in half…

From 169 to 130 (with pics, hopefully)
Edit: having trouble with pics, but hopefully they're working now. Ok I have been very nervous to put these photos out there, so be kind. :P I started out after I saw some unflattering photos of me. I have a lot of health issues (lupus, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrom, chronic migraine) that left me feeling pretty…

The science of cheat days?
I've made all of my progress without having cheat days. I never really liked the idea of them, so instead when something came up I would work it into my calories for the day. I never restricted any food groups so I didn't ever feel like I *needed* to "cheat." But when I reached my goal and started to increase my calories I…

What do you do for homecoming?
So I'm nearing the end of my first deployment. It's been decent, all things considered. I know a lot of people do special stuff when their husband's come home but it's kinda tough because the date is secret until they arrive. I got one of those homecoming banners from buildasign.com and I bought his favorite beer. Other…

Optimal macros for this type of exercise?
Ok I know this topic has probably been covered many times but when I use the search function I have an impossible time reading the threads because there's a bunch of programming code mixed into the responses. So I'm sorry for the repeat. I have multiple diagnoses but the bottom line is chronic pain. My doctor for a long…

Chicken Avocado Soup
Ok I know this doesn't immediately sound good but I promise it is (assuming you like all the ingredients, of course), and it is reasonably low calorie as well. I made it as a copycat recipe for the soup at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants that I don't live close to anymore. Chicken Avocado Soup (serves 2) 4 oz…

Shrimp Fried Quinoa

First Deployment
Hey guys. Hubby and I just moved to our new station in Kings Bay Georgia. We were here about a week before he deployed pretty suddenly and without much warning. It's our first deployment. So far I'm a few days in and it's not perfect but I'm trying to make do. I'm an artist so I'm working on art and also working on some…
