Hey guys, have been reading around getting a feel for how to do this and succeed this time after soooo many unsuccessful weight loss attempts. Never tried with MFP before so starting my logging tomorrow.

A question (doing the grocery shop today): What five foods did you always like to keep on hand when you were losing weight?

Thanks!

    1. cottage cheese - high in protein
    2. Greek yogurt - Fage (plain) - high in protein
    3. almonds - good fats
    4. peanut butter - good fat
    5.eggs - good source of protein and nutrients

    Now for lifes daily pleasures - coffee, dark chocolate (over 70%) and Diet Coke
