Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! I went on a yogurt buying spree today and am trying 6 new brands. 2 of which were named here multiple times.

Croutons. Now I know croutons are not healthy in any manner but occasionally I'll indulge and add them to a salad. I had never weighed them until recently. I tared my scale after adding all other ingredients, put on what I thought would be 2 servings, looked down and it was 11 servings worth. 1 serving of croutons = 7g 1…

Most mornings I have a banana, a triple zero yogurt, and oatmeal. Right at 400 calories.

I haven't been to Wendy's in years. Since they stopped selling my favorite salad. But that one sounds good. I may have to try it.

"Clean eating" has nothing to do with losing weight. Eating at a deficit does. Though it does help your health. Do you weigh your food on a food scale? How do you determine your exercise calories? Do you eat them back? Also you will not lose weight every week. Weight loss isn't linear. There will be weeks you lose nothing.…

Everything you need is right here on MFP. Follow the instructions above and YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT. If you're honest with your logging and follow your calorie goal it's a no fail situation.

Swimming is excellent exercise. Spend an hour or two in the pool each day.

This is the way I look at it. I started this January 6th. I spend approximately 5 minutes a day logging my food. I don't exercise. I've lost 45 pounds. So basically I've lost 45 pounds for under 11 hours of "work." I'll take it and continue to log!!!

BIG CONGRATS! Great job!!!!

Haha excellent! I'm happy you did what you wanted. Sounds like it turned out pretty cool. Even got the table involved. I also agree with everything you said in your update post! Go you!!!

I understand the coffee thing. I went from 1-16oz cup a day to one cup every other week. I like my 16oz coffee with 4 teaspoons of sugar and 4 tablespoons of flavored creamer. That's a whopping 225 calories for a cup of coffee. I don't do artificial sweeteners so I just cut out the coffee by 90%. *edit* because my phone's…

This is most likely your problem.

I don't do a cheat meal per say. But if I know I'm going out with friends for a special meal that I don't want to have to restrict too much I bank calories the rest of the week. So I basically eat about 200 less (or more if needed) the first 4-5 days of the week so I can have extra calories for the meal out. I always log…

If you eat 500 calories a day over time you'll not need to worry about the military kicking you out due to weight. They'll instead have to "kick you out" due to medical reasons. That is not sustainable. Your body will rebel. I see you've answered a few questions here. But you haven't answered the most important imo. Do you…

I weigh pretty much everything by grams. Even prepackaged ready to eat food. If I didn't weigh everything there's no way I would have lost 42 pounds this year already. I am terrible at eyeballing portions.

I use the Mission Carb Balance tortillas. 120 calories, 5g carb, 13g fiber each. Lovely way to pack in some fiber. Or their whole wheat version. They have 15g fiber each. Both taste great and are sturdy enough to hold up for any type meal.

There's no reason to include protein shakes unless you find yourself low on protein on a regular basis. Or unless you just enjoy them. On the same token, there's no reason to exclude them as an option. I don't get any exercise other than working at a pretty active job 50 hours a week. I include protein shakes 4-5 days a…

Are you updating your weight/calorie goals with MFP? If so it should be lowering your calories for you. *ETA* Congrats on losing 22lbs!!!

What are your goals?

Girls night? I would get the ladies together for a movie or a meal out of the house. Don't be alone. Go out, have a good time, and blow off some steam. Sounds like you need it. Good Luck!

Love baba ganoush!

Or the Egg White Delight. Only 250 calories and less fat.

I would add all ingredients in the recipe builder. Even though some sauce/juice will inevitably stay in the pot I'd rather overestimate then underestimate.
