I'm not sure I classify as a cheerleader, but I try to be encouraging. Please feel free to add me if you like.

My diary is open at 2200/day as a goal. Please feel free to add me.

Lately, breakfast has been oatmeal with dried cherries and almonds.

This post is awesome. It reminded me once of a time my wife and I were out for lunch at a deli and being mindful of our choices. The sandwich I ordered was huge, so I ditched one slice of bread, probably 150 calories. And the chips that came with it were boring, another 150 calories. I didn't miss either. We discussed that…

1TBS of butter alone is 100 calories, so I'd say with certainty that the calories are for the mix alone.

I *must* be pregnant!

My diary is open. 2200 calories/day goal. I log pretty well most days. Even that drive through today that wasn't planned but so, too easy on an errand I had to run.

Welcome back and good luck! As soon as I saw your name, Alicia Keys' "This Girl is On Fire" started in my head.

It's just saying that based on your foods logged, you've exceeded the default target set by MFP. I think I'm -334% on Vitamin A today. :smiley:

This is the only approach for long term success! Keep up the great work!

Haven't been called a nerd in a while, but my wife calls me a dork regularly for my corny sense of humor. Does that count? :smile:

Great idea! It's hard to believe Thanksgiving is 3 months away.

@ELC_76 , Thanks for your support. I always enjoy reading your messages, as your insight is typically quite helpful!

Thanks @karenesg!

Happy Monday everyone. Hope those of you that had the goal to be AF were able to stick to it! I was definitely challenged this weekend, as I had some extra calories and did a bunch of work on the house in hot, humid weather. This is typically the time when I'd slug 3-4 beers before even thinking about anything else. The…

I divided 198 grams of green bell pepper into 4 servings and used the decimal. Yeah, I get it. :smile:

Hello state neighbor. Just north of Greenville, South Carolina here.

Pre-logged all of my meals for the weekend. None left for alcohol. :smile:

45M, 5'9, 299 pounds. Down 25 pounds in the past year (16 pounds in last 6 weeks). I set my target at 2200 calories (40F/30C/30P). I've been losing 2-3# per week. My exercise is 10-12 miles walking/week, and I do not consume any of these calories.

In scenarios like this, I just leave the original entry and let it offset errors that could be made in logging other foods.

Oh how I miss Hawaii!

Lazy, no doubt. I know how to be successful; I've just chosen not to for far too long. Food marketing certainly adds a high degree of confusion: low fat, fat free, gluten free, low carb, high fiber, whole grain, etc. etc.

Does Norman Bates (or his mother) go to this gym?

Been using this as my profile picture for a long time!

There was leftover catering in the break room the other day. It was pretty picked over, but there were two small bbq chicken wings left. I was under on my calories, so I figured it would be a nice treat. Sadly, they weren't chicken wings. It was a shriveled up roasted plaintain that actually *did* look like a bbq chicken…
