It works ok mixed with oatmeal and a bit of granular sweetener on top of apple cobbler. That's the only thing I have ever done with it.

I get 1200 calories per day, so I evenly divide them between Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, & Vitamins/Evening Snacks. If I have a special occasion, I will do a lighter calorie, high volume (still filling) bfast & lunch and water so I don't feel hungry but can save more calories for a beer and dinner out or if I have a party to…

I am Sara and I have the most Midlife-Crisis Reason ever for joining this group: class reunion this summer. However, I have already lost 63 lbs. and want to stay on track for the next 50 or so I have to go. I have made significant changes to my eating habits and joined a gym, but I still struggle every day with staying on…

Ditto to orange/chocolate combo and what's with chocolate covered bacon?

Really though . . . the beer (or whatever) really seems to be holding back my weight loss. Working on cutting back during the week. Any thoughts or inspiration would be appreciated :smile: [/quote] I pre-log my food the night before and work in whatever beer or wine I choose to have into my food plan. I also make sure I…

Feel free to add me if you like. I have one every day (It's the first thing I add after my vitamins.) Bud Select 55 and some Snyder's gf pretzels :smiley:

I was surprised you are already thinking about your March goal, but then I realized it isn't very far away. It will be good for me to be thinking ahead about it. Keep up the good work!

I put a tablespoon of raw cacao powder in my morning smoothie with a banana. Sometimes I also add 2 tablespoons of Jif peanut powder (it is just powdered, roasted peanuts; others have sugar and other ingredients as well). I try to limit my sweet intake to foods that also have nutritional value such as fruit, coconut,…

I find it easier to stay on track if I pre-log what I plan to eat for the day the night before. Sometimes I even pack my lunch or pull together items for dinner the next night if I have to leave for the gym super-early. Then when I get up, I make my breakfast (which I take to work or in the car or whatever), pack my lunch,…

Walked for a half hour before work today and am on track with my water (1/2 gallon at work, 1/2 gallon when I get home).

I make something similar using So Delicious brand unsweetened coconut milk (45 calories/cup). It's delicious and a source of healthy fats, while being low calorie. You might consider trying that if you want to lighten the number of calories you are taking in. It also works great as a base for smoothies and sauces and lasts…

Me, too. If I am roasting vegetables with a bit more oil, I usually eat that as an entree, not a side dish because of the higher calorie content. However, it is delicious and a very nutritious substitution for something like meat or pasta. I usually save one other serving for lunch and feed the rest to my son and husband…

If you think you will love juicing, get a really good one. If you aren't sure, get one from Goodwill or VarageSale or a thrift store. Once you love it, invest in a quality one.

If you have another device, you might try accessing it that way. Sometimes I find things are saved and will appear after many hours later (and all 4 versions may be there.)

I have a hard time getting rid of things, even though I don't pay a lot for anything. I am super picky about what I wear--it must be super comfy and good looking. I also have to alter nearly everything, since I am 5'1.5" and fairly busty. I got rid of everything larger than a 12 (wore a 26 at my heaviest) and have a long…

Wondering if people have new goals for Feb?

Me: 4 Binge:0 I only had 2 binge days in Jan., and it has been weeks since my last binge.

Anyone is welcome to add me. I track my exercise and pre-log my food ahead of time--it makes a huge difference!

Feel free to add me--I am active on MFP. The support here is super!

I tend to beat myself up about a lot of things. When I can do a happy dance because I got in 7, 9, or even 11 servings of fruit/veg a day, I am going to take the credit for that. I appreciate Christie taking the time to share the chart she made. Got a kick out of seeing a sweet pickle listed as a vegetable. Doubt I'll be…

There are like a million groups on MFP. Do you belong to any that you feel might support you with this? There is a binge eating group, a juicers group, and I have found several MFP pals who have migraines, all of which has helped me quite a bit; I have very little support in my actual life for any of my healthy eating. You…

I suffer chronic migraines--10+/mo. I understand how you feel 100%. I struggle with binge eating also, and the migraines make it much worse. If yours have a hormonal component, as mine do, it can also make it worse. However, one thing that makes a big difference for me is pre-logging my food the day before and prepping my…

Hello, Suzu, I have felt like you feel now many times in the past. I am currently 53 lbs. into a 100+ lb. weight loss. As depressing a thought as it may be to you at this moment, I have finally accepted (at the age of 43) that I will never be one of those people who can eat what she wants. I will always want to eat more…

Hi, I am 5'2" and 53 lbs. into a 100+ weight loss. I don't have much support for my healthy eating habits in real life, so my MFP pals are my lifeline! Anyone can feel free to add me!

roxymuller--If you click on someone's name, it brings up a box with some choices, if you click on their name again, it will bring up another screen. In that screen, there will be a choice to "Add as a friend". You can also choose to send them a message. Happy MFP'ing! (Tried to send you a message, but it wouldn't go...)

I have a serving of thin crust veggie pizza and a small glass of wine every week or 2--never more than 500 calories. I am on 1200 calories per day, so that seems reasonable to me. I add a sprinkle of hot peppers eat it super slowly and enjoy every single bite. This allows me to go out to dinner with my family or have…
-
Since I only get a 20 min. lunch that doesn't happen--we all bring a lunch. Suggestions: get out of the office and/or bring the most fragrant hot lunch available. Chili, broccoli stuffed baked potato, sauerkraut, veggie soup, veggies with beans & taco sauce, etc. I make soups ahead of time and then freeze individual…

I have been on MFP awhile and am pretty active in the community. I pre-log my food the day before to help me stay on track and plan ahead, since my husband and I are both teachers who pack lunches. I have lost 53 lbs. so far and have 51 more to go. Anyone can free to add me if you need a supportive MFP pal!
