Best breakfast for weight loss?
I usually have a small bowl of cereal and banana for breakfast, but find I am always hungry and snacking by 11am. What is a good breakfast to stay fuller for longer but still very healthy? Thanks!

In 78 days, I've lost 163lbs... But I'm not done yet!
(Originally Posted 4/9/15) I've been heavy since I was a kid, and since Junior High my weight steadily crept up higher and higher until my Junior year in High School. Since then I've become a Professional Yo-Yo Dieter dropping significant weight, only to plateau and gain it all back within a couple years. :/ By the time I…

Apple shape vs pear shape?
So I've heard about having an apple shaped body vs a pear shaped body, but I've never been able to figure out what it meant. Is it like your weight gravitates to your stomach if you're an apple or to your thighs / butt if you're a pear? I feel like I'm both right now, ha ha! I'd like to figure out which I am, since I've…

Protein Argument?
I'm in the pursuit of abs and lowering my body fat percentage. I'm 5'8, 130 lbs, but still a lot of fat to lose, especially on my stomach. I've been eating 1450 cal a day and lost 10 lbs since January. I've been weight training 3x a week and cardio 3-5x a week. I'm getting conflicting information, so maybe some of you can…

Cheating
Okay, everybody listen up. If you're really having extreme cravings, just eat what you're craving. Have a cheat day once a week. Im not saying have an all-out binge, but having a cheat day is perfectly acceptable, unless you just started dieting. Maybe wait until you're about a month in, and then start incorporating ONE…

Vitamins and other supplements

Getting toned with small weights?
There are plenty of people on this board who seem to get great results with lifting and actually enjoy doing it. I have to admit I'm envious. I'd like to try it myself but the problem is, I have some spine issues and neurologist says I should not be lifting anything above 5-7kg. That does not sound like a lot, so should I…

SAHM Motivation Busted
I have been doing so well in the last 6 months since delivering our third kidlet. The first 4 months was just watching what I ate, the last 2 I have actually been hitting the gym 5-6 days a week. Then a viral sickness hits the household, and it all goes out the window. Now I'm struggling to get my motivation back. It's…

Are you afraid to weigh yourself?
I am afraid to weigh myself. I have been on this eating path for almost 3 weeks now. I feel leaner and my clothes fit better so I know that the scale should not matter. But I have been so good and usually eating under my calories. Sometimes really hungry too. Exercising a good deal. Not a lot because I have a bum knee so I…

Protein powder
My current protein shakes in the morning have 24g of protein, but 240 calories. To make them taste good I usually have to throw in a banana and PB2 or some other fruit. My breakfasts are then over 300 calories and it is just a drink. I have notices that some other powders have a lot less calories. What do you use, how much…

MFP Confessional
Forgive me MFP for I have sinned. After a particularly crappy shift at work which made me miss my second real food meal of the night, I came home and had 2 pizza pockets and 3 beers which put me over my calories by a bit more than a hundred. :(

Couple of questions from a newbie
Good evening all :smile: Only five days in using MFP which I think is great - just wish I'd found it sooner. Using this combined with a pre-prepared eating plan that I add too. So here's my question - seen lots of posts re macros which I think (could be wrong) are the carb/fat/protein ratios - could someone please tell me…

Women Running Alone
I took up running about a year ago and quickly fell in love with it. As a beginner, I started running with my dog around my neighborhood in the mornings. For some reason, just a couple miles 5-6 times per week & I noticed such a difference. I built muscle, felt better, lost inches, etc. I live in an area with a long, cold…
