  • BlueMac, I feel the same way. I've been on them for just over a year. I've seen about a 10 point difference so far...

  • My wife and I shop at Aldi. Mostly due to her food allergy (she's legitimate Celiac). However, I find most of their food that computes as low-cal (Ground turkey, Chicken sausage, etc.) are significantly higher in calories than their grocery store, name-brand counterparts. I still use them, but I scan them prior to using…

  • Weighing often sounds great, but leads to discouragement. I tend to weigh after I've had a few awesome days of exercise. Probably about 1 or 2x a week, but no schedule. It'll keep you motivated!

  • Amyrebeccah, will continuing my regimen help with this? I'm assuming it would...you know, making it NOT "extra" exercise?

  • I remember when a 6-pack was a light night out with the guys. Now, it's 4 days on a special weekend. I feel so much better, but appreciate all the feedback. I've learned so much since joining MFP!

  • Thank you, everyone. I think we've found where my issue lies. Sodium. I went back and checked out my sodium this week. WELL over my goals (it's funny how easy it is to dismiss as "it's just one day", when it's actually several in a row). This is great news. I'm going to continue my exercise regimen, and continue my calorie…

  • I use a fitness tracker (Garmin Vivosmart). I find that it UNDERestimates my exercise...at least according to the treadmill readout. It doesn't take into account incline, so I trust that it's under-estimating the calorie expendature. I tend to NOT adjust it. I figure, if I work hard to do that incline, that's my choice.

  • Down 30 since Thanksgiving, and learned a few tricks. Feel free to add me. I need to continue transforming myself to do my 5K in May, and long-term goal of a biathlon/triathlon...SOOOO far from those, though.

  • I've been on MFP since early December. I've been coming up with low-cal alternatives since day 1. Here's my most recent...Jalapeno popper substitute. Halve Jalapenos and remove seeds/ribs. Shred 1 medium zucchini, and dab/press with paper towel until most moisture is removed. Add an egg, 1.4cup cheddar, 1/3cup feta, 1/4…

  • I should clarify my heading...this app really HAS changed the way I think when cooking (something I love). I'm always thinking about healthier substitutes in my food now! The other day, I made a grilled chicken sandwich (multigrain sandwich thins). I was about to reach for the ranch dressing, and instead I grabbed a…
