Yeah the problem is there are still new KitKat flavors I haven’t tried yet. And many many more foods. I have a real problem saying no. But I’m working on it!

HI! I am trying to work really hard to get back down to goal weight and would love to have others to encourage me. I added you. I am about 5’3, 37 mom of three and looking to get to 130lb maybe 125lb. I was happiest at 127 before a knee injury and have allowed that and becoming an expat as an excuse and just need to get…

Also great job everyone!

Nature valley protein bars. They are super yummy and sweet and ultra filling130-190 calories from what I remember. I like the peanutbutter chocolate.

Sahm of three. Feel free to add me. I need the motivation too!

People shouldn't believe everything they read on the internet, as the original posted suggested. Anyone who wants to know should research the information themselves and also the legal cases involving this product.

I love weighing vs not! I found that I underestimated how much I could eat when not weighing a lot of things. And way overestimated protein! It really is eye opening.

I don't have a 'set' diet but I'm trying to eat tons of vegetables with a source of protein every meal. I guess you could call it ' fill your plate with bulky but low calorie vegetables so it looks like you are eating a lot' diet! and staying under the calorie goal. I also follow the rule of don't eat white stuff...meaning…

Better late then never! I'm doing this because after three kids I'm still 35 lbs+ from when I found out I was having my first. I want to get the weight off, gain energy and feel happy with my body. I lost about twenty lbs in 2013 and gained most of it back this past year. I realize I need to get out of the habit of stress/…

I'm in,I need accountability! SW:150 CW140.6 OVERALLGOAL: 120

Also I would avoid beans, legumes and whole wheat. Unless he knows for sure what causes his issues these can cause flare ups. Go more with oatmeal, quinoa, cooked blackberries. Spinach, kale are good sources of fiber.Avoiding raw fruit and raw veggies can help if he is in flare up. I know it helped us to make a food…

Hi what medical diet is he on? It would be easier to make suggestions. I also second the protein thing..never heard that for ibs, but if that sets him off then he should avoid it. My husband is on a low fodmap diet. When we first started it was hard but as you add foods back if you tend to figure out which foods set you…

Can you eat rice noodles? Pho sounds like it would be good and it is tasty and made with bone broth. I have recovered from some nasty gi problems and the key is to just keep eating a bite here and bite there. Rice made with brooth and some fresh herbs might be nice for a slight change but still easy on your tummy. Or go…

Family meals I make low calorie and gluten free with veggies: tacos, shepherds pie, soups, chili,fish sticks( yes gluten free), chicken thighs(kids tend to like dark meat). Some times we buy gluten free pasta and do that with tons of veggies. I do frozen fruit smoothies for the kids and my husband with almond milk( can't…

Black berries,apples, kale, collard greens, swiss chard all have high fiber for lower calories. Beans are great to but have a higher calorie count. There is soluble fiber and insoluble. I'm not an expert but I know we all need both kinds to keep things moving. I noticed for me it is much easier to get the fiber if I'm…

I weigh daily-some times twice. I am curious as to the weight changes throughout the day. As a female- I know I'm not alone- my weight can from 5+ in a day to -5 a week later. I only record a weight once a week. And try to average a few days. I avoid looking at the scale some times when I'm feeling bloated. Otherwise I…

I'm also looking for the same! And motivation!

I think it depends on how you define cheat day. I am on 1200 a day right now and am sticking to it no matter what. I have done this once before and am back at it. One thing I can say is I had the wrong idea about cheat days before. I would overdo it. I think for me it is better to save up the calories and then eat what I…

I agree that you should discuss this with a doctor. Two years ago before I started to try and lose weight I went in to check on why the heck did I feel starving all the time and to make sure I hadn't developed diabetes(high genetic risk factor). Turns out I was in fact highly deficit with certain vitamins. I truly…

I'm a food lover and of all foods,pasta is my weakness. I have to cut it out because I cannot just limit myself to one serving. I eat five. Ok I lie I eat the whole plate full and then anything that might be leftover. So I bought one of those spirlizers two years ago and try to keep with veggie replacements for the pasta.

Great read. I'm going to go check the calorie per serving on pork rinds because I freaking love them ;). Great added on top of soups!
