  • You have to ask yourself. "why is he trying to sabotage your efforts to lose weight & get healthy". I think he's afraid of losing you and he also is self'centered & selfish. You should have a partnership not a dictatorship. He should not be the only one to decide what you eat. Sit down with him & plan your meals together.…

  • See your Doctor and let him/her set your calorie count for you. Something is not adding up. I don't know how you can even exist on 500 calories. You lost the 50 lbs so you know how to do this. So do it again. MFP has all the tools you need to do this. Just give it a try.

  • I eat protein bars for the health (yeah right) really for the candy bar like taste. I have tried Balance Bars, but they are 200 calories. But lately I have been eating Fiber One Protein Bars---140 calories and 6 gms protein. They are a quick go-to snack or breakfast replacement. My favorite is the Caramel Nut Chewy Bars.

  • I agree with others - 1/2#to a maximum of 2# per week is more attainable and healthier. Twenty pounds is extreme for one month. When you start eating more calories after you body is used to less, I believe you will gain.

  • Diet Coke!!! NutraSweet & aspertame!!! Glad to be rid of that poison. When I want a carbonated beverage, I drink La Croix flavored water--no calories, no sugar of any kind.

  • I have been a milk drinker my entire life---I love it. I have milk every evening for dinner. I am a skim milk drinker. I decided to cut the fat so I came off whole milk by stepping down first to 2% then 1% and then skim. Now if I drink 2%, it tastes like cream. But everyone has their preference of the kind of milk they…

  • Balance bars are good also. They are 200 calories and loaded with protein & fiber. They have a nice selection of flavors. I get mine at Kroger where they are 10 for $10.

  • My favorite yogurt is Yoplait Light. I like vanilla yogurt with chopped strawberries. If you have a Keurig there are so many yummy choices. I like English Toffee Cappucino & mint hot chocolate. And of course the flavored rice cakes such as caramel & chocolate.

  • The only way I worry about any calories is if I go over my set limit. If I want something with sugar in it, I eat it. I try to shy away from all artificial sweeteners. To each his own. I recently gave up pop, all pop, because of the nutrasweet. Bu if you like it, go for it. If you use MFP the way it is set up and don't go…

  • I weight & measure my food. If I eat chips or salty snacks, I actually count out the amount the bag says is a serving. This helps tremendously and sometimes it surprises my how large the serving is. Try it! Also, I don;t allow myself to get really hungry. If I do, it's a sure sign I will overeat.

  • Since it is so cold where I live, I just do stationary bike. Any movement is good. Get a dvd and exercise to it. Leslie Sansone's walking tape for inside is excellent. You can get it at Walmart for around 10 bucks. Just do what you can do. I am 245 and some of it is hard but just push yourself and you will push through to…
