I prelog food and recipes and only give myself what I already know I can have.

That's definitely one way to do it but, don't make any plans for a few days if you do because you won't be going anywhere besides the bathroom. I do not recommend.

I just get egg fried rice and egg drop soup. But, I get that no matter what.

It means that food has a lot of Cals for not a lot of quantity. Like an oz of almonds is very calorie dense. Spinach is very not calorie dense.

I usually prelog 2 weeks at a time. Things get moved around sometimes but, at least I know calorie wise what I can have for each meal. Very few Ppl do what I do but, I do also for groceries because then I only get what we need.

I suffered from some pretty epic OCD about 10 years ago. I almost drove myself to a nervous breakdown. I don't think it is in your best interest to continue calorie counting until you get some help on dealing with the reason for your OCD. Only way I ever got over mine was to find and deal with the reason behind my OCD. I…

I have been lazy lately but, generally I prelog about 2 weeks at a time. Things change but, at least this way I have a good base going. It can be difficult but, once I got the hang of it it helped with my grocery budget and time management.

Yeah I saw them when I was at Target. I find it weird that Target gets dibs on such weird flavored Oreo's.

Opinions on the blueberry Oreo's out now?

Funnel cakes have powdered sugar, elephant ears usually have cinnamon sugar and are usually crunchier in parts than a funnel cake. I prefer elephant ears to funnel cakes but, I hate powdered sugar.

I hate bras! I only wear them when it seems like I have to visitors and trips to the store if I am not wearing a jacket or hoodie. I am a between an A and B. I have never worn a bra to bed unless I fell asleep on accident with all my clothes still on. My boobs are still pretty perky if I do say so myself. The idea of…

If you entered your info and goals correctly mfp will help you lose weight. Even if it doesn't appear possible. Obviously barring any medical issues that would make the algorithm not as accurate. It does work for most Ppl though.

You can eat what you like as long as you don't eat more than your maintenance number. I have had really horrible days food wise with nothing all that healthy and then days where I was super conscious of my food choices. They even out. I will say with lower cal allowance it helps you stay on plan to eat plenty of protein…

I switch between sausage patties and bacon for breakfast. My bacon is Plumrose bacon is 80 cals for 2 slices.

Stop trying making things more complicated than they need to be. Worry about calories and get a handle on that. I lost over 40 lbs focusing on cals alone. I did watch sodium but, that was only because I have kidney disease. Carbs only matter if you have certain medical issues. Diet soda is good for most Ppl but, I gave it…

Leftover Roaster chicken we made yesterday and mashed potatoes with chicken gravy.

Set your goal to maintain your weight and eat exercise cals. If you begin to lose weight then adjust goals to gain .5 lbs a week.

As teachers use to say in school "keep your eyes on your own paper". Everyone loses differently and you are losing so stop worrying about what he is getting and doing. My husband gets to eat twice as much as I do and lose 2 lbs a week while I lose half a lb. It is what it is.

My favorite is a local bakery in a town I grew up in called Fingerhut bakery but, there is a local grocery store where I live now that makes good donuts Martin's grocery store. I literally hate Krispy Kreme donuts. The smells makes my stomach hurt. The glaze is just atrocious!

Eat the meat and then weigh the bone before you throw it out. It is really easy and not something to get upset about.

If you make it at home you can have pretty much anything. I have chicken burritos, chicken quesadilla, chicken fajitas, tacos, beef burrito on a pretty regular basis.

If you do not have health issues where low sodium is necessary make sure not to lower it too much or you will have adverse effects. I am slight low sodium for kidney disease. Never drastically change something the body needs. A lot of Ppl do just fine eating loads of sodium as long as they drink plenty of water and don't…

A life without cheese is a life I refuse to live.

We rotate about 30-40 meals but, our top five are tacos, cubed steaks and potatoes, Anniversary chicken, crockpot chicken pasta, and spaghetti bake. Probably not the healthiest but they are super filling. My healthiest meal is usually lunch though.

If you entered your goals than it will have your deficit built into it.

I am 5'3.5 and can't wear heels because of leg braces and my wedding dress looked amazing on me! It will be perfect one it is hemmed to your height. Trust me!

Enter your stats into mfp and it will give you a goal. Stick with it to lose.

I personally like Cheddar's I can eat their chicken strips and a honey butter crossiant for less than 600 cals.

From what I am reading you seem so concerned with what everyone else thinks. This is no way to live. I can promise you as a pregnant woman most Ppl aren't thinking OMG she is so fat. They are thinking Aw she is having a baby which a blessing not everyone gets to partake in myself included. You took tones from pal's post…

Mine is open to friends only. Even without it being public I have gotten unsolicited advice from comments I have posted on here. It cracked me up because a newbie was telling me I wouldn't lose weight doing what I was doing even though I had lost 30 lbs at that point. She finally admitted she knew nothing and was going off…
