It might have been "worth it" when it was made with ephedra, but more rigid food and drug controls required that the formulation change. Now, just like any other "aide" or "magic pill", it is solely designed to separate you from your cash. If thats your intent, then go ahead!

I am a huge fan of the LooneySpoons collection - 1)Looneyspoons, 2)Crazy Plates and 3)Eat, Shrink and be Merry (and a fourth - Looneyspoons Collection) Good food with easily accessible, everyday foods spanning a variety of cuisines including vegetarian. Soft cover, inexpensive and readily available. I like them because of…

Perhaps you are giving others far too much credit for the control they exert over your emotional state. No one makes you "furious" - they dont throw you to the floor and do something to you - you do that to yourself by the way you interpret their comments. Apparently you see their comments as derogatory. You can choose not…

Health issues, vanity, pride, stubbornness, wanting to feel in control, nice clothes, health, pride, health, pride, better knowledge, ease of use, health, pride...........just a couple of things that come to mind - did I say health and pride?!

Me too!!

Unfortunately, once convicted of sex related crimes, the infamous Jared of Subway fame lost all credibility. BUT, until the public learned of his predilections, he was the poster boy for eating sandwiches and losing weight. So, it is still possible to lose weight by eating sandwiches and more importantly, by being in a…

Oh my gosh!! So many delicious looking choices!! I would pick any of the grilled chicken sandwich choices, cuz I really like grilled chicken!! But grilled usually means cooked without additional fat (not that fat is bad...) and the toppings on the chicken or kale one look really good too! Lucky you!!

Love it - I always have watermelon in the house, even though it can get really pricey off season here. I get those little personal size ones, but for Fathers Day coming up, I bought a big one, as I am doing a watermelon, feta cheese and olive salad (theres other stuff in it but those are the main ingredients!)

I have been using the app for about a month and a half and I love it - I no longer log on the website. Its easy and convenient, and I love the barcode feature as I can check anything while I am grocery shopping and decide if its worth spending any of my calorie "budget" on it, or if I am just curious. Its always with me, I…

oh boy have you come to the right place - I think 99% of posters here weigh their food. And log it. You are in "weigh my food" heaven!

My sweet treats include sugar free jello puddings, which come in at about 50 or 60 calories each - I love the dark chocolate and the dulce de leche flavours the best.

I'm an even odder ball as I only weigh about every 6-8 weeks. It leaves me blissfully unaware of plateaus or stalls, as I am good at weighing and logging, and just have faith that if MFP says I am on track, then I am. I havent been disappointed yet.
-
I second the point about getting some recipes that you like and cooking to those. I always have a list based on what I am preparing for dinners that week, and whats on sale from the recent flyers (they come out on Thursday - today!) I only concern myself with dinners as I use leftovers for my lunches, which I take to work…

Baked inf oil, or cut into thin rounds, drizzled with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and baked for 20 minutes, then turn and bake another twenty minutes at 400 degrees - sweet potato chips!

I have been eating IF all my life - dont eat breakfast, and eat lunch and dinner between 12 and 6pm. I got fat that way, and now I am learning to lose weight that way. Timing doesnt seen to have an impact on weight loss - its all about the number of calories consumed. So instead of consuming 2000+ calories in that time…

I only weigh myself when I visit the doctor for other issues, so maybe once every 6-8 weeks. Thankfully, over the last few months, each visit has seen my weight reduced and so then I adjust the stats that then adjusts the calorie goals.

Monday night when I got home from work, I was "starving" as per the chart above. Still havent been able to figure out why. Normally I am in the "Hungry" range by 6pm, when I normally eat dinner. I dont mind feeling like that - it serves to remind me of the effort and time I have put into getting my weight where it belongs,…

Yes you can enter when you get back - you can go back at least a month, as I have had to do that on occasion. If you watch what you eat while you are away, I bet you will enjoy your holiday more, instead of stressing that every morsel you put in your mouth might be the one that makes you lose control. Thats what I did on a…

jahillegas_51- I dont care if your great words of wisdom addressed anything that was helpful to the OP - it will be helpful to someone who will read it and identify with it and maybe motivate that person to do the work that is necessary to be successful, just like you did. thanks for sharing your story - I love to read…

Me too! I have been doing 1200 cals since I think just after New Years, and I have dropped over 80 pounds since last October. I dont find myself hungry at all. I do plan out my meals, and find that because I dont eat breakfast, I have plenty of calories for when I really crave something or am hungry, like at night. So far,…

Its an antibacterial - all vinegars are. I use it diluted in water to clean my hardwood floors.

Like others, I weigh everything at home, and use nutritional info available on line when I eat out, so the best educated guess ! I find it easy and convenient to use a scale, and rewarding and motivating to be doing it and seeing the results I am getting.

Perhaps you could buy an Atkins or Dukin diet book and start there? Or try Pinterest and look up lo carb meal plans. Its hard to give you an "easy" daily plan when we dont know what food you like, or your culinary skills!

Vitamin D should be taken with food, just fyi.

So far, breakfast on a work day is always a couple of cups of coffee, but today was only one because I was at the vet with a sick doggie this morning (sigh). Lunch was a serving of beef noodle doodle (a recipe from the Looneyspoons cookbook which combines beef broth, sirloin steak, spinach and noodles), a container of…

Today was a serving of beef noodle doodle (a recipe from the Looneyspoons cookbook which combines beef broth, sirloin steak, spinach and noodles), a container of Yoplait strawberry parfait yogurt and an apple.MFP says it was 340 calories.

I have been here long enough to see this topic debated previously, and really, its a semantics issue. Some people get their knickers in a knot abut using the word addiction, as if it has special status and can only apply in certain situations where the parameters, signs and symptoms can be observed, documented and…

I eat 1200 cals daily and find it not difficult at all. I dont eat breakfast, and always a light lunch. I know I feel hungriest during the hours of 4pm to 9pm, so thats when I have dinner and my snacks. According to my stats on the app, I consistently eat the majority of calories for dinner and snacks. I didnt change my…

This is a shout out to the other posters who love the Special K cracker chips - I love these things, and I have them literally every night to satisfy my salty crunchy cravings. I weigh out the 20 gram portion (80-90 calories0 and find that the amount is just right. they come in salt and vinegar, bbq, dill and sour cream,…

Some4 one once said, "if you bite it, you write it" and I have followed that mantra - I log everything and find it really helpful - like someone else just said, it really becomes a habit.
