Well... I did sign up thinking it would be a great improvement. NOT. I don't/haven't used any of the extra features and I wouldn't use them even if they were free. I'm regretting it big time! I could use the money for important things like my Zumba class!

Hello all! My name is Kathy and I was invited by marekdds. I've been with MFP since January and I absolutely love it!! It's what I need to get/stay on track. I've lost over 40 lbs and still have about 90+ to go. I'm 51 yrs old with 3 kids (34,33,29) yes I started young. I have a 4 yr old grand daughter who is the apple of…

I read up on it and everything I read says yes it counts.

Way to go chamblisk. I still have my "skinny" (lol) clothes hanging in my closet. I refuse to put them away cuz I know they'll fit again soon! That's my motivation.

Made with lemon,citrus, Apple cider vinegar, natural flavor. I thought the same thing but the ingredients aren't a bunch of chemicals. Sucralose is the worst ingredient. I'll take it over fat free mayo any day. See pic

Walden farms people. They have a line of salad dressings, ice cream toppings, mayo and b&b's sauce. Zero calories,zero sugar, zero fat! And they're good too! I put the caramel sauce on coconut milk ice cream 6 almonds and a squirt of whipped cream. About 160 calories. Now that's dessert! The ranch dressing is good. The…

I just love hearing where everyone is from. I live in a rural community. La Habra Heights Ca. Is in the hills above north Orange County. I'm 10 mins from the city, 30 mins from Disneyland. I get the best of both worlds. We have lots of critters up here too.

Oh my. God forbid you forget something. Where do you live? I'm in so. Calif.

Amen!

Lol marekdds. Yeah I get stiff driving more than 20 minutes. My body's about 25 yrs older than my mind. I keep forgetting I'm not 25 anymore!

I don't think you can put recipes in from the app. I think it has to be on the desktop.

Wow I'll put some in. Just thinking mfp doesn't have any. I bought that Walden Farms zero calories zero everything mayo and it wasn't too bad. Tastes kinda like Miracle Whip. I put it in some cabbage and made coleslaw. My husband didn't even notice and he's SUPER PICKY. Not half bad. I do like coleslaw.

I know. After reading several posts and articles, I've decided to suck it up and move on. Could be because I lowered calorie intake, could be I lost inches (no way to know, need to buy a tape measure) or some other crazy reason. Bottom line: Keep moving forward!

Omg I think mfp should make it easier to add friends. I don't know how either! Anyone wanna add lil' ol me? Scratch that. Big ol' me

When I go out to eat and look it up in MFP, I'll look for the lowest calorie item (ie; Pho) not knowing how much it really is. I'm cheating myself so why do I do it?? Who knows! I haven't gone over once as far as my diary goes but I have no idea if I have or not. I guess I have cuz last week lost nothing! No gain but no…

Ok I really need you guys today! I lowered my calories from 1700 to 1450 and stayed under all week. Granted I only exercised 3 days but didn't even lose .1 lbs! I didn't gain but c'mon!!

I'm the same way. I love their caramel drumstick!

Thanks Bethlauren I'll check it out. Was gonna exercise today so I'll check it out before I start. And yes, a lb is a lb and I'll take what I can get.

We're all on the right track. That's why we're here. To help each other and to be accountable. I'm a little OCD so I obsess about everything food related and am very self critical that's why it's comforting knowing I have support from all of you.

Good job chamblisk! I know the feeling all to well...I'm on the floor, now how to get up??? Lol. I'm hoping I too can do a sit up or 3. Taking it slow though after back strain.

Well after too many days off, I'm going back to exercise today. Yesterday was a bad day so here we go looking forward. I think I'm ok but gonna take it slow at first

I did walk today. Went grocery shopping. That's always good. Tried to park farther away everywhere I went so as to get as much as possible. Hopefully it'll be better tomorrow. I read not to take anything before exercise so you don't mask the pain and hurt yourself more so I'm toughing it out!

Good job bethlauren! It is hard to resist temptation! I've been doing okay but I know my weaknesses are going to rear their ugly head someday but I'm ready. I just wish my back would get better so I can exercise. This is my first week at the lower calorie goal and it sucks cuz I can't exercise. I was hoping to lose a…

I agree. I would just leave it. If you do go over its there. I didn't exercise today cuz I tried "belly dancing for weight loss" yesterday lol and I guess I over did it. I hurt my back. I'm bummed cuz I was on a roll. Well tomorrow if it still hurts I'm gonna do some walking. I live in the hills so it's really hard so I'll…

I've got to go to Costco!

I totally agree. There's way too much information out there and a lot of articles contradict each other. I just want to be healthy. Thin is also a goal of course. If we all stick together we will do this. If I can help anyone I'm here. God knows I need help too! Thanks everyone for the support. It's nice to see others in…

Amen

I completely agree with all of you. Susanne I feel exactly the same way. This is NOT a diet for me it's an education in lifestyle change. I guess it's age because I feel so much better about this than any "diet" I've ever been on. I'm ready to focus on myself for a change. Raised 3 kids. On my profile it says "sick of…

Fourlynn try Werthers sugar free caramels. They're pretty good. I pop one in my mouth and it'll last about 5 minutes. Just long enough to get through the urge. They have chocolate caramel too.

I know I went to el torito for brunch and well...no noshing for me:(. Tough day but I just barely made it under my calories
