I'm just starting myself. Please use the diaries. Enter every single thing you eat. Weigh your food or measure it carefully. It seems accuracy is even more important when you have less weight to lose. Did you enter your stats and did MFP give you a calorie level? Did I mention log everything you eat? Also log your…

If you are 300+ like me and lose your weight, the skin doesn't shrink. Nor will losing weight slowly prevent excess skin. Unfortunately both are myths. I know a lot of people having to deal with the problem. It's just a bad side effect of being overweight.

I tried carb cycling. But I kept falling off my bike trying to eat the baked potato. :/

Calories are all that matter, imo. But many people say the low carb diets reduce hunger. Studies I've checked into show that in the long run, weight loss and adherence rates are about the same as with low calorie plans.

Wishing you great success.

add me, I love all things SW.

Bless you for not taking all the comments seriously. People here dive into "cleanse" threads like bees to honey.

Seattle's Best #5 with 1 tbsp powdered creamer. 30 calories.

Welcome here. Sent you an add request.

I don't know where your calorie data came from, the wrapper? But meat that has a large caloric difference between cooked/uncooked is due to the release of fatty juices. But 90% hamburger is pretty equivalent to eye of round in fat content, very low, and has around 55 calories per ounce, cooked. (chicken breast meat is…

90% beef is not going to release any fat. The shrinkage was due to the water evaporation during cooking. I would log the cooked weight, and average the raw/cooked calories, say 53-54 p/o. (former restaurant line cook)

I read some depressing news last week. Researchers said that the odds of an overweight man achieving a normal weight was 1 in 210. Not much better for the ladies. :o But who believes the news?

I quit 14 years ago after smoking for 25 years. Never slipped once. My one big accomplishment in life. MG, if only losing weight were as easy.

congrats on getting your high bp under control. That's a big accomplishment itself. Sent you a invite. Best of luck.

most oils go for 40 calories per teaspoon. Most vinegars you don't even need to count except for maybe balsamic. The recipe forum is full of good stuff.

is that also you in the framed picture on the right?

I hate "reality" cooking shows. Such bad acting. My favorites are Cooks Country and Americas Test Kitchen, both on PBS.

Cod smoothies. Yum.

Some foods are editable. Some are not. The ones that MFP has confirmed as "accurate" can not be edited. Better to just create custom foods and enter the nutritional data you deem as correct.

I tried Qsymia, which has phentermine in it. Had absolutely no effect.

You flag your coworker for trying to sell you a "toxic cleanse" diet.

I never flag spammers. I only flag people who say "loose" weight.

I was paragliding in Arizona, didn't watch where I was going, and hit a plateau. Broke my arm too.

You're not supposed to eat them. You're supposed to juggle them. Great exercise.

I did a 21 day cleanse with Dawn dishwashing liquid. It tasted terrible.

Snacking after 10 pm caused bipolar disorder in laboratory hamsters. So watch it sister.

It varies a bit depending on the nutritional makeup of the food, but roughly a point is equal to forty calories. They have a great database listing the points-plus values of thousands of foods. WW gives you something nothing online can do - true accountability. You are more likely to stay on track if you have to face that…
