I use my salad plate for meals. It let's me feel like I get a full meal.

My personal tip to using dressing on salad: Place 1 serving (generally 2 Tbsp.) in a small bowl, cup, whatever. Dip my fork in said dressing, place fork in salad, eat. By the time I finish my salad I usually have half left and I'm very happy. :)

I wish I could walk my stomach off. I have had a belly, even when I was a string bean kid. I am barrel chested and have a short torso. I could cry, no matter how much I have lost. Seems like I have more intestines than body to hard it in. :'(

An apple with maybe some PB for me :)

Again, thank you (as well as, all who are helping me to learn more about a healthy lifestyle)

Thank you

Not to say this person is wrong or right but, who is he/she. I do not see a name on the study.

So if I understand, I can still eat my simplex carbs?

I have Congested Heart Failure and try to watch everything

Explain please

All I know is: 1) I have lost weight. 2) I WANT to lose fat weight (which I KNOW requires exercise and I try to eat a good amount of protein) 3) I WANT to lose both (less calories, more exercise and I have no patient so, I eat a low calorie amount while trying to keep my nutritional feed) 4) I eat ANYTHING I want as far…

Yes, yes, yes - Sound of Madness

I think you look great!! We all have our own perception and I know it can feel like you're "huge", but really, you are not! Love your self and love those thighs!

I have to watch my water retention because of CHF. One of the medicines I have to be on is a diuretic. I also have to watch my sodium. If your doctor has talked to you about these things then it could just be a woman's fluctuation (all of us women have that problem). If you have not talked to your doctor, you should. Fluid…

Thank you!

Way to go!

Love of my Shih Tzu, Roc, can't wait to go on his walk. He so loves it! I'm lucky because we can walk about 10 of the months each year and I am so sad for all of you in that awful cold weather :( The only bad thing is in the summer is we have to walk REALLY late or REALLY early with the heat, his poor little pads would be…

What sucks is even if you are in post-menopause you STILL have the monthly crap. Each month I get bloated, grumpy and still want to eat more than when I am hungry normally. It comes on like I have it every month at the same time/date. And I have not had a period since 2004. Just so you now. :'(

I see that you are not using your Food Diary. Today...not tomorrow, you need to use your kitchen scale and weigh EVERYTHING (even that one little donut or cookie or soda). Every thing you put in your mouth counts. LOG IT on your Food Diary. If you don't have a Fitbit or Vivofit or something like it, just jot down…

I eat EVERYTHING but I eat much less. At home I eat my meals on a salad plate instead of filling a dinner plate or cup, instead of a bowl. I weigh EVERTHING including the 4 Skittles I snuck last night. Then log, log, log. I try to drink a whole cup/tumbler of water before I eat. If I am out eating I order the "Senior" menu…

Yes, because just like you, I don't trust ANYTHING on labels and the only thing I trust is how many steps I take.

This may, you see I said "may", be because they maybe are adding butter or even better (and I don't been better but more) IHOP adds pancake mix to their eggs. OMG!

I agree. I use and LOVE my Vivofit! No matter what anyone says, I seem to be losing weight using MFP and my Vivofit together. Basing my gate/pace, my sleep, my calories consumed, etc. I think the two have been a really great way to use the tools. AND, it syncs with MFP like a clock. Worth $100.00 for me.

Nicely, my Vivofit syncs my exercise calories with MFP. Otherwise, it's a guess estimation for manually added.

If the restaurant shows.... say, 8 oz. tenderloin (if they mean a beef filet as there are many tenderloins), this would be what the standard or menu stated restaurant based raw meat. Then base off the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference Release 27 for beef tenderloin filet I use the 23601, Beef,…
