Thanks! I will check it out.

Thank you for your replies!! I feel better when fasting. It makes me more accountable for what I do eat. Seem as though I have more energy. Your right though, if I was to purposely try it my brain would fail too. It seems to work very well when I dont think about it and it just happens that way. However, I think it gives…

I weigh once every two weeks on a Monday. Not going to be obsessive about it. Its a life long goal not a race. Real weight? Not sure what you mean.

So true. Condiments are loaded with calories. I always add a few extra calories to everything when dining out. Its hard to believe some of the calorie content that is provided to be true as serving sizes are not always the same. Most of the time I just eat half of it anyway. Not a big fan of dining out....although its nice…

^^^^^^This!

Bump!

Exactly! :0)

I look at it this way...Its not a race. I didn't lose the first week and a half. Then boom at the end of five weeks I lost 8 pounds. Everyone is different. Keep up the good work. It will happen if you count every single calorie oh and condiments are crazy high..count them too.. Dont drink your calories.. keep your weight…

Count me in. I have 20 pounds left to lose.

Very awesome.. You look amazing.

Nope.. Its calories in calories out.

Plain baked potato or 4 ounces of chicken. Both!

CICO.

Nope.

Exactly. .. and we had no clue what a cell phone was. We played hide and seek until after dark. Very different times we live in now.

No biggie. Log it and watch your calories and try and stay within your range. Ive gone over a hundred calories from time to time and still losing. . I stay under my goal in carbs just counting calories.

Well stated. Im not exercising and have a deficit. One month in to mfp lost 8 pounds and have 20 more to lose. When I hit a stall closer to my goal then I will start exercising. I do like a good workout but know my body will retain more water and I will get discouraged not seeing the pounds dropping because it does make me…

Thank you for explaining. This would be to tedious. This is not for me.

Thank you for explaining. Sounds like a chore. This would not work for me.

Yah inquiring minds want to know what that is.

I agree!! Well stated!!!

Cheesecake factory. Haha. Just eating what i wanted when I wanted. I do the same just in moderation to fit my calorie goal.

I have 15 regular m&ms at a time every so often and it still fits in my calorie goal with room to spare..Im getting better with it as I go and my cravings are diminishing. 15 regular m&ms are 52 calories.

CiCO. 21 days? Thats not much time to lose. Im not sure what this fad is or what your trying to accomplish in that time frame. Try following what MFP is showing for you as far as calories wise. Watch your success happen when you follow it close. Wish you well in your goal.

As an "American" I was never raised eating peanut butter. It does however have quite a bit of protein and it is nutritious in moderation. I do remember having it with celery as a child.

Really? Bananas are high in potassium and most are near a hundred calories. You should never omit anything from your diet as long as it is in moderation and fits into your calorie expenditure.

Well said. This is how many act behind a pc where they can be cruel without repercussion. Why not support each other with kindness? However I would NEVER allow a person online or in person for that matter, derail my progress. You shouldn't close your diary or change what your doing. You should however raise your head and…

Your not alone. I drink Vitamin water 0 orange and lemonade. Have not drank colas in 8 years. Feel so much better. Hate drinking my calories. Try 8 oz when you wake up and 16 before bed. Its a start. I drink a lot of water at night.

That many carbs that early makes me tired. Try something different. Maybe some eggs and a 4 ounce steak?

Why just 30 days? You dont need to go to a gym. I dont work out.. I have lost 9 pounds in a month logging calories. (Started with SparkPeople.. and not liking it much-changed to mfp.) I do mountain hiking/ walking the trails every other weekend.. Dont you want to try and feel better about yourself? You have to want to try…
