Smoothies, avocados, and oatmeal (sorry, but it's true). Oh, and coffee!

Yup, sugar is evil.

Thanks so much for all your suggestions and advice. My dietician looked over my food diary and didn't see anything suspicious. The trainer at my gym suggested more water. (He drinks 5L a day! That seems like more than I could hold.) Doctor noted my blood pressure was slightly elevated (126/88) and suggested I get my eyes…

Why would you even want to eat Oreos when you can enjoy a bowl of natural yogurt with fresh blackberries and a handful of almonds.? I've been using MFP for about 8 weeks now and have lost 19 lb (81 more to go). I've learned a lot about where I was going wrong with food. Too much of it, of course, but also not enough…

I'd love to have your recipe for a Cilantro Lime Chili!

I try to emphasize whole, unprocessed foods such as bananas, avocados, peppers, berries - and I buy a container of pre-washed salad greens every week (otherwise I'd never eat my lettuce!)

Best cold breakfast cereal I've found is Quaker Muffets (available in Canada, not sure about the States). 160 calories per serving, 1g of fat, 5g protein and 5g fibre. No sugar or sodium. Ingredients: whole wheat. Period.

I'm new to MFP, and to eating well. One resource that I've found very helpful is Oh She Glows - website and cookbook. Lots of delicious recipes. Never thought I'd utter the words "love" and "kale" in the same sentence!

We grow lots of fruit and veg – tomatoes, cakes, peppers, potatoes, celery and greens in the vegetable plot. Herbs in an herb spiral. And raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, cherries, currants, gooseberries, apples, pears and plums. We also keep honey bees and laying hens. (We're on an acre in rural Ontario, Canada).

Emily, I also have 100 lb. to lose. Have you found this app helpful? I weighed about 250 lb. when my daughter was born 20 years ago. I initially lost 80 lb. about 15 years ago, just through a change of lifestyle (divorce) and better eating (and stress). Running worked well for me, and I got down to 170 lb., but I've not…
