No it's not... its just normal chocolate. This is milk chocolate though... I'm used to Lindt making dark chocolate. Might be that? Not sure. Maybe my taste got used to the dark vs the milk.

I never get flu but when I'm sick I barely eat anything. I just don't have the appetite for it. MFP always yells at me for only eating 100-300 calories when I'm supposed to be eating 1470. Also that would be water weight you gained. I usually don't weigh when sick because it's usually messed up with me.

This one tastes like that too...it tastes "box-y" lol. Not that I would know what box taste like but you get the idea.

Really? Your parents must have had a sense of humor... :p

They also have apple crumble, strawberry cheesecake and chocolate brownie flavours in this range. Not sure I want to try them after tasting this one. I'll stick to the normal thin ones next time I think...I do love the salted caramel one a lot...

This sounds really weird but when I crave chocolate (especially if it doesn't fit my calories for the day) I will smell some vanilla extract. It weakens my craving the more I smell it for some reason. If that doesn't work I kind of know nothing else will, in which case I go out and buy me a 30gram serving of good…

Hahaha. Wow. Well, my supermarket deli sells meals. Granted I don't know what's in them, but I can SEE it's not "junk". They plate combinations like [rice, roasted vegetables, pork loin chops and roasted potato], [a small slice of chicken pie, rice, roasted veg, and a salad] , [roast beef, cheesy veggies, rice, and salad]…

I agree that it's also about health. In terms of that I'm already at a good weight. Which is probably why I'm having these thoughts. I'm not overweight anymore. This goal is only for vanity's sake. I guess I'm not as motivated to do it anymore because of that. I'm technically out of "danger" already.

Best diet ever! ....if you want to lose tons of muscle....

My mother and myself (as a result of her). Until I thought, screw it. I'm making this all about me me me! Perhaps I said it to myself a few times, but I don't think I believed myself, otherwise I wouldn't have decided to get on with my life.

In fact, I've never had influenza before. Ever. Not once in my 21 years on earth. I just get colds rarely. (Like I said, last time was 4 years ago.)

I don't log because I don't want MFP yelling at me for eating 100-300 calories instead of the 1470 I'm supposed to. When I'm sick it's always something like gastro or intestinal infection. And I don't eat at all then. I haven't had anything related to a cold or flu in 4 years.

Sometimes I'm cold in the summer too. Especially my feet and hands. I like to sit on them so might be bad blood flow. And I'm also half vampire, as for some reason the doctors always struggle to find my pulse. :smiley: bleh bleh!

Not really. But I crave warm things much more. I NEVER drink coffee/tea in the summer, yet ALL my fluid in the winter comes from it. All 8 glasses. I'm petite so it's quite a challenge to stay warm. Seems like when everyone else is comfy I'm still struggling to get warm... :neutral_face:

Since losing my weight I'm getting cold more easily too. Nothing unusual.

This has happened to me as well. When I set mine to 0.5lb a week it only gave me 1300. My maintenance is 1670. So I fixed it manually myself and set it to 1470. Not quite enough, but I do go for a walk so figured it evens out.

I'm jealous. I'm a funsized woman who can only have 1470 to lose 0.5lb a week. :neutral_face: hmf. :worried:

When you set your weight loss goal lower. Or increase your activity setting.

It's not. Just stop buying it. I also have a huge taste for sweets. I used to eat 3000-5000 calories of the stuff a day. Until I decided, I'm not buying it again. Fast forward 3 weeks without it, and if you had told me this I would never have believed you but: I have had a pack of cookies in my cupboard for a week, and I'm…

Lol I love that. I daydream intentionally about stuff like that all the time. I think it "satisfies" me enough to not actually go out and eat all that stuff.

It depends how much you move. This probably isn't accurate, but I've read that 5000+ steps a day is lightly and less than that is sedentary. Again you have to experiment and see if you lose. So try out both for a week, and see how much you lose on each one.

You're gonna laugh, but I've gone as far as setting the alarm clock on my cellphone for eating time. If the alarm doesn't go off, I'm not allowed to eat ANYTHING. Sounds really silly I know, but it has helped my mindlessness some. I'm off it now and "relapsing", so starting to do it again. :smiley:

I eat 1470 a day to lose 0.5lb a week (I'm a shorty.) It can be pretty filling as long as you eat healthy stuff. Lean protein, veggies, wholegrains fruits and so forth. You can eat a good amount of those things for that amount of calories. Perhaps, you should set it at 0.5lb p/week loss. That way you would get about 1800…

I eat mostly the same breakfasts and dinners (my cooked meals are at lunch). I also only keep that food in my house. So if I want to mindlessly eat on a bunch of other stuff, there's nothing else to eat, except the stuff that I'm supposed to eat anyway. I also try to keep to three meals a day. I don't like snacking taking…

I do good grammar and paragraphs with my phone... so no excuse. :wink:

My first day is full of cramps and sickness so I don't even get out of bed let alone exercise. By the second day though all the sickness just kind of, disappears into thin air...and then I exercise as normal. My overall preferred exercise is an hour walking.

If there's anything I can't have...it would be Nutella...I have NO CONTROL over that stuff.

My skin is super super oily. Which is a bad thing...and a good thing at the same time...means I won't get wrinkles so quickly. But sugar has nothing to do with it. I've cut down severely before...and it made no difference. So.

I think the issue is that the number became just that to me. A number. That I don't care for. It just isn't controlling me anymore. Which is sad. It worked really well in helping me shed 40+ pounds. Now with the last 12lb, it's just meh.

If you're stuck it means you're either eating at maintenance and need to reduce your calories...or you're not weighing food and eating more than you think. Or your metabolism has temporarily adapted to the lower calories, in which I would suggest you eat at maintenance for 2 weeks or so and then reduce again.
