We're planning a cruise next summer. I have a LOT to lose so I'll still be losing next summer. I have no plans of "dieting" while on the cruise. I'll eat what I want, when I want. This is something that doesn't happen often. Maybe once a year or every few years. If I gain 2lbs, I'll work a bit harder when I get home.

I have no research to show, but I can say I've lost 36lbs since Jan 6th eating approx 1500 calories AFTER 5pm.

This site for all whole foods ^^^

I weigh everything. If I were good with portion size I wouldn't be overweight.

Hi and welcome! I'm Sonya. In 41, live in Ohio and currently weigh 295. Wow! I'm still not used to saying that, lol. I just fell below 300 for the first time in at least 4-5 years. I started here on MFP on Jan 6 at 331lbs. Just found this group about a week ago. As far as advice goes, just log. If you bite it, write it! A…

Sending a request. I started here on Jan 6 with 191lbs to lose. Since then I've lost 36.4 pounds so I still have about 154 more to lose. I'm in it for the long haul. I log everyday and have an open diary.

Great list actually

Are you weighing all your food on a digital scale? Using cups/spoons for liquids? If so try adding some calorie dense foods. Nuts, nut butters, evoo, avocado, etc...

Stonyfield Organic today. I switch around a lot.

It curbs my hunger a bit. It also helps with acid reflux for me. I really think it's a healthy addition. But it doesn't "cause" weight loss. Of course if you find it curbs your appetite it can help.

Haha, can't forget the most important "people" in the house <3 ;) <3

I copied mine. Ignore the last two items, lol. Avocado x6 Lemons x8 Roma tomatoes x6 Red onion x3 English cucumber x3 Broccoli x2 Cilantro Garlic cloves x3 Sweet potatoes x3 Blackberries Raspberries Oranges x5 Grapefruit x3 Grapes Bananas x4 Pineapple x2 Cottage cheese x2 Babybell cheese Vermont white cheddar Laughing Cow…

I log mine. They don't have calories but I like seeing that I've met my C, calcium, etc.

I love shrimp and salmon. I eat both quite often. Ahhhh, the joys of running a seafood restaurant ;)

Haha, never mind! ^^^^^That's my goal for next week! So busy planning I'm getting ahead of myself, lol.

Hello everyone! My goal this week is to stay inside my calorie deficit over the weekend. It's gonna be rough. We're having our annual Spring Fling. 3 days of friends, family, and food! Friday night is dinner for 80 at Saki, a Japanese steakhouse. Saturday is a cookout for 120 WITH a lasagna cook-off (ughhhh). Sunday is…

Great job, your hard work is paying off!!

Sounds fine. MFP sets calories dependent on the individual. It will differ person to person by sex, age, start weight, goal loss, etc. I'm set to 1870 calories to lose 2ppw. Last week I lost 5.8 though so I could obviously eat even more.

Figure out exactly where you're ordering from, use their online nutrition calculator, make a plan, log it and stick to it. I just had a large veggie pizza (don't like meat on pizza) in my Papa John's cart. 50% off Mondays on large pizza. Two slices would be 540 calories. Acceptable. BUT I live alone and two slices four…

It's most definitely the behavior. If I have a full on binge day I can easily consume 5000 calories. It's completely out of control. I'm completely out of control.

Hi Vicki!

I did! I did! 5.8lbs down. Not exactly sure how or why, but I'll take it! New current weight 295.2 I haven't been out of the 300's in at least 4-5 years.

I'm with you 100%

I'm a binge eater too. I recently found a binge eaters group here on MFP. They have a way of looking at the binge as a "person" so to speak. An adversary. I'm competitive by nature so looking at it like this has kind of changed my mindset. I don't want to let the binge win. I'm stronger than the binge. Keep a daily…

This ^ But I do find if I eat a nice bean soup I'm satisfied and those are the only days I do hit my carb macro.

Yayyy! Such a big milestone! Congrats!!
