Hi My name is Erin. I am new to MyFitnessPal, but already, I love it. I really enjoy the option to scan a bar code to enter any food item into my diary. I was feeling good this morning about my potential of weight loss after just five short weeks. However, I just added my lunch and that dramatically changed. Sad face:( I do incorporate exercise into my daily routine to ensure my success, I am wondering if anyone has ideas to help me lose weight in my hind quarters? Also, what in the world can I eat as a snack that doesn't dramatically change what my alloted points are for the day? I am aware that there are 'good' points and 'bad' points in every food that we eat. I am frustrated though, that I just ate 3 plain rice cakes and raw un-salted peanut butter and almost used up all of my lunch points. Here is my question: What is somethign that I can snake on when having a terrible craving or trying to curb my feeling of being starving without using all my points???? Any suuggestion would be helpful really :) Thanks for your in-put.

    Veggies are great snacks and very low calories

    Hello! You should definitely incorporate daily exercise! Even if it is as simple as walking! i've noticed the dramatic change in weight loss on the 5 week thing, it all really depends on you and what you do. It's just a projected thing.
    I would consider trying to add high fiber foods into our diet- that is if you don't already. But.. One way I cure my cravings for something, if I don't want to blow my calorie goal is... WATER! Ice cold water. It works miracles. And plus you can up your intake in water if you do that, which, is a plus. Also... If you can up your intake of water by 1.5, so make it 12 glasses of water a day, then you can drop weight a little easier than with out it.


    I hope this helps. And if you need any help, you can be my friend on here and we can exchange ideas!

    I'm new too! But I find that if I eat a handful of nuts (almonds work best) then I feel full longer since they are high in fiber.
    28 almonds = 160 cals

    Good Luck!

    Gibster88~ Thank you! I tend to forget simple ideas for frustrating issues. I have tried adding more water into my diet in the past, and it really does help. Thanks :):tongue:
