  • The calories deducted for exercise by MFP are way too generous. I started using my hunger/fullness level as a guide. I count the number of calories by logging the foods eaten and I gauge if I am really hungry. It does take time and as a previous entry stated 1/2 lb a week is a much better rate to lose weight. This way your…

  • Fruits and vegetables, nuts, legumes, lean meats whole grains, dairy, avocados. Stay away from added sugar and artificial foods. I lost 40 pounds by counting calories, giving up refined sugar and I eat very well and I am maintaining my weight loss almost a year later. Eat more protein and you won't crave carbs so much, the…

  • I don't know how you could go so low especially after putting on weight. I was more successful when my goal were more realistic. Better to eat more, I started out a 1800 and lost 25 lbs very slowly. I am now on 1590 to reach my goal and I am getting there. It's not easy but it would be more difficult to do being hungry all…

  • I like to use the Carnation evaporated milk in the can, nonfat. I use frozen fruit and Stevia and it makes really good ice cream that is low in calories. Frozen banana makes it even creamier if you like the taste, works well with banana/blueberry, banana/strawberry or PBII and banana if you don't mind that it has a little…

  • That thought comes into my mind everyday. I am happy that I have stuck to this since December. I have only lost 12 lbs but I do feel so much better doing it this way. Just stick to it and you will feel better. Slow is better.

  • You have done really well and the diet soda once in a while, you have to allow yourself something you like otherwise you will never stick to the plan. Keep it up and keep posting, I love success stories.

  • I find with exercise it has to be something that you like to do. I am starting to get a little bored with my routine, cardio machines and weights. I was thinking of taking a combination class at the gym tomorrow. The idea of breaking up the workout into 10 minute segments is a good idea and is a great way to start out. My…

  • Yes, it's like miniature popcorn. I have also cooked sorghum and mixed it with other grains. Sorghum is one of those wonder grains that contains lots of protein. It is fed to children who have been starved due to famine in 3rd world countries. Only problem is that it is not that easy to buy, I have only been able to get it…
