I still use the original Pebble.

Exercising and eating dinner. Dessert was cherries with a tiny splash of Kirsch...wow!

I was raised in France on butters, creams, sauces, and all the good stuff. I cook almost all my own food, and was initially afraid of dieting. Analyzing with MFP allows intelligent substitutions. Knowing calorie and nutritional composition gives me confidence that I CAN eat what I like (maybe just not as much of it.)…

72" 162 lbs. Reached my goal 9 months ago, and have been maintaining +/-2 lbs. I eat a lot of foods I like so I do not feel deprived. I substitute healthier alternatives (whole wheat spaghetti tonight, for instance). I cook almost everything I eat from scratch in larger batches, portioning it in plastic containers for my…

I generally eat 2 tbsp. of peanut butter daily, as I detest exercising and use the PB to get through the session. As a diabetic, I severely limit traditional sweets--chocolate, cookies, etc. PB gives me a touch of sweet and fat, so I can get my fix. I eat 1 teaspoon at a time to stretch it out. However, I plan for it and…

In order to attempt a "soft landing", I increased my calorie limit in couple-week increments--1200 --> 1500 --> 1800 -->1950 currently, while watching my weight. I eat 5x a day, 300-500 calories per meal; maintaining 9 months now by this method.

As a diabetic, I cannot cheat as most do--no doughnuts, cake, ice cream, etc. Additionally, if I do cheat, I know that--based on my personality--I will want to cheat every day. I do set my daily MFP calorie limit on the lower end of my acceptable range--that way, if I am hungry, I can always have a little extra without a…

Congratulations! Donating or selling your bigger clothes will give you a good financial incentive to maintain your weight (less so in my case, as I shop at Goodwill.) I did keep one of my larger sized-pants as a memorial. I continue to wear the same dress shirts, as I favor a looser cut.

My goal was the weight corresponding to the middle of my allowable BMI range, 165 lbs. I have been maintaining 159-162. Tired, tired, tired of people telling me, "You need to stop." I have stopped--you are comparing to the fat me...of course I look thinner.

"I am a couple of pounds under the middle of the WHO-recommended weight range for my height. They likely have a doctor or two on staff who might have researched the topic." After losing 60 lbs., 1/2 hr exercise and 2 miles` walk daily, I have more energy than I've had in years. Sheesh. They mean well, but...sheesh.

Try egg whites--less fat, pretty much the same protein. Great in egg sandwiches.

Baked oatmeal, microwave-bake apples, crackers & cheese (separate items, not vending machine junk). I make my own chilis and stews, and always have a fridge full, portioned to go. I dumped granola & yogurt together--i dearly love soggy cereal (call me weird).

As a diabetic, I have been recommended to eat mid-morning and -afternoon snacks; keeping within my nutrition allowance, of course! Loading my lunchbox with the day's snacks (and my meals) is a technique that works for me. I feel as if I am always eating, though. However, at goal weight, maintaining OK.

Weigh 1-3x a week, vary by +/-1.5 lbs approx.

Expanding on the answers above, the number of grams to a cup depends on several factors, including the type of food. Imagine a cup of salad pieces: there's a lot of air in between the pieces. Let's say it weighs 75g. Chop that cupful in a juicer, and you'd need to add more juiced lettuce to get a cup (let's say another…

Do you have access to a freezer and microwave? Frozen fruits and vegetables may work for you. I like uncooked oatmeal with skim milk--good filler-upper. There are a lot of reasonably healthy canned soups, stews, and chilis. Some cheeses are good for nutrition, and come in small packages: some of which, I believe, do not…

--That having been said, with certain health problems you cannot "save up" certain foods and eat them all at once--as a diabetic, doing so to all my carbohydrates would mean trouble for me! I tend to leave my heavy eating toward the end of the day, usually due to the frantic pace of the day itself. If I eat too much for…

I am. I've been on a 1200-calorie diet, but, lately, am hungry all the time, and the scale has been stuck on the same number for the last six weeks anyway. Bumping up to 1500 calories a day as of today. (I still have 260 to put away before beddie-bye time.) Still a bit of a belly, but my nutritionist tells me that I am a…

I am neither a nutritionist nor a doctor, but I'll share some general guidelines that have helped me, plus an observation. Firstly, depending on your frame size, 100 is near your ideal weight, and you are below that. You should, therefore, not be dieting to lose weight, but watching what you eat to control it. Why do you…

I lost a significant amount of weight over the last year. I vary a few pounds from day to day. For me, this seemed as if it had mostly to do with the amount of water I had been drinking. Additionally, time of day is important for consistency, as mentioned--I am at my lowest if I weigh in the second thing after I arise.…

None! I have finished losing all weight I should (I slimmed down to a few pounds below the median of my recommended weight range.) Just want to concentrate on keeping on with healthy eating and exercise this year. I never thought I could do it, but it can be done. If I, Mister shovel-anything-in-my-mouth can achieve it,…

No weight change. I have been dreading the arrival of the holiday season, as I have recently managed to lose almost 40 lbs., and have been worried about slipping back into my old habits and gaining it back when presented with the opportunity to stuff myself with treats. Lunch: 4 oz. turkey, one slice of bread's worth of…
