I am so very sorry for all of your losses...so close together too. Praying right now for God to be so close to you and bring you peace as only He can do. I know how grief can do this when my dad died. I think food is used for comfort many times and then it can get to the point of taking a toll on how we feel if eating too…

Thanks so much! See, I'm not the only one who thinks you look great! :smile: What kind of Vitamin C do you use? A supplement or is it an oil for your skin? Thanks for your skin/hair secrets! Oh and what kind of shampoo/conditioner do you use? Is this your natural color or do you color it blonde? I have highlighted hair so…

That's great! You look beautiful without makeup! Must be Australia and good genes. :smile: I just found the Lacura renew day cream and night cream at our Aldi's here in the US. Yay! Can't wait to try it and maybe I too, can have beautiful skin like you!

Haha, I know what you mean. I feel the same way. I will have to check out their face cream! You have beautiful skin! Is it a certain brand that they sell? Do you use any other product besides what you buy from Aldi?

Also Mary's Gone Crackers are great!!

I like veggie straws when I'm feeling like I want a little salt and crunch with my sandwich. I don't have them every time but if I do, I like these because the serving is a nice serving for the calories. I can't remember how many right off. I'll have to try the quest chips!

Wow everyone! Thanks so much for these great ideas!! Can't wait to go back and try some of these things.

I don't like plain yogurt either. I add pyure sweetner and peanut butter powder (Jiff) and chia seeds...soooo yummy!! It's my dessert or lunch. I like Fage because it also has 23g of protein and really fills me up. I will have to try this that you mentioned too. Thanks!

Lol! No quiz just wondering :smile:

Which one do you like?

Is their Greek yogurt 0 or 2% and does this have vanilla in it such as artificial flavorings like the Dannon kind? My husband has bought one with the vanilla but I really prefer the natural Greek kind and love the thick consistency of Fage. Would you say this is natural and like Fage if you've ever tried that?

Thanks so much! Would you say their Greek yogurt is as good/ healthy as Fage which is my favorite? It's just so darn expensive so I am trying to find a cheaper version of Fage...

Thanks everyone! I enjoyed the single cheeseburger and fries and ultimate banana milkshake!! Very yummy and a great experience. What fun is it if we can't splurge now and then on vacation and I've set my calories to maintenance everyday and have done well. Today when I get home will be telling when I weigh myself but I'm…

Is that total 440 cal for both? Or each? From what I've seen, it's about that many for each and that's a kids.

Apples, cinnamon...

Just had peanut butter and banana. Sometimes I use chia seeds, coconut, berries, vanilla, seasoning salt, pyure sweetner...fresh peaches, berries, bananas, :smile:

So how do you make these? Sounds yummy!

Recipe please for the crustless cheesecake and carrot cupcake :smile: Thanks!

Can I ask you your stats? Are you maintaining on this 2000-2100 calorie diet? Just wondering to compare. I also only have around 10 more lbs to lose. I'm 5'6, 143 lbs, 46 yr old woman. Just curious :smile: and I totally get how you feel with all of this! So frustrating!!

^ exactly! It's not much to ask at all! I can understand as she wants to plan out her day.

Joseph's Pita bread is very good with pb &J and it's only 60 calories! Very yummy and filling!

Yes!! Isn't it great? 4 crackers for 60 calories and I just double it! :smiley: I love crackers and these are big too and so good!

Congratulations!! That's awesome! I agree...I'm so glad I'm using my food scale because what a difference it is making. Who knew how "off" these packaging labels are as well as our tablespoons and cups which are not precise.

If you have fat that you would like to lose, wouldn't you want to lose weight instead of increase to 170lbs? Not quite sure what you're asking.

Fage 2% Greek yogurt with peanut butter powder, a little sea salt, pyure sweetner, chia seeds, and sometimes throw a few geradelli dark chocolate chips on. Tastes like Reese's! So yummy and filling too. Or I love Carr's water crackers (8 crackers for 120 calories) and quarter size 2 pieces of cheese and top the crackers…

Where do you purchase the optimum nutrition? Is it good and does it have protein? How many calories? Sorry for all the questions! :smile:

So you don't eat back your calories? If you burn 400 calories, you don't eat 200 to have a total of 1700 calories?

Thanks all for your help here. I'm doing just fine with what I'm doing and think my form was off. When I am doing the you tube videos, I'm watching from my phone. I think I've strained my neck sometimes trying to watch that while doing my exercises. It's all good though now!

^ this! Yep, and as far as coffee as what the person above said. Drink black or you could add your own creamer/sweetener. I've recently started getting Starbucks tall almond or coconut latte. They use the almond or coconut milk and expresso--no syrups. It's like 110 calories. Very good!

Oh and I also use what's listed on mfp and log what's closest to what I'm eating when out if I can't find the exact calorie amount. I try to log the higher calorie amount. I feel it's better than not logging however I don't want to jip myself from calories I could be eating by logging too high either but also not wanting…
