@AliNouveau you make me want to go skating! And probably fall. I was setting up for my patient after lunch.

For what it's worth, I noticed the other day that the calories listed on the web site did NOT match the calories that my Wendy's listed on their menu. Everything I checked was listed at a higher calorie count at the restaurant menu than the online menu claimed. Some items by as much as 50+ more.

My tipping method: Take the total of the bill, move the decimal one spot to the left, double that number, and there's your tip (AKA 20%). Example: The bill is $27.50. Move the decimal to make it $2.75. Double that, which is $5.50. Tip $5.50 (more if they were really good, less if they were horrific).

Before exercise. I tell MFP I am sedentary and that I don't plan to exercise. I also don't log my exercise, as I don't plan to eat it back. At least not yet. Maybe as I work up to more strenuous exercise.

Typically between 150 and 200 a day under my goal of 1660. Sometimes less. Sometimes more.

That was perhaps misleading? I like to weigh daily, HOWEVER the issues I'm having in the past week presumably from introducing exercise it making it frustrating. So I'm going to stop weighing daily... temporarily. I just don't know how long it should be before I'm more or less out of the "new exercise screwing with your…

I rest on Sunday and Monday, I didn't think to weigh on those mornings after. Thanks!

I feel better, too! I am not losing my motivation, but I don't need any negativity in my life from that scale. lol. Good for you, and keep it up!

I did have a high-sodium meal on Sunday. But not right before the initial gain. I haven't had alcohol in over a month. I am 2 weeks post-period, and I started blood pressure medication at about the same time I started counting again (so a month ago). I like to weigh daily, but it is discouraging to see the ups and nothings…

I tried it for the first time recently. Mint chip is my favorite. Chocolate chip cookie dough was my least favorite; whatever artificial thing they put in the cookie dough left an awful aftertaste "burn" in my throat. I let it sit out and get really soft, and I find it satisfying. But I was not much of an ice cream eater…

I love this thread. Last night, I took my son to Dave and Busters (his chosen activity since he didn't want to trick-or-treat). I didn't intend for us to eat there, but he really wanted to. If you know this place, you know their menu is NOT healthy in the slightest unless you order a salad (and even then, not great!). I…

Thanks everybody! I'm probably going to try the stovetop method first, since that what it seems like he likes the best.

I have personally only seen him eat it at one buffet restaurant. They are cubed but not dry like they were roasted. They almost remind me of stewed/baked apples, with sort of a syrupy sauce on them. So I'm assuming baked? Not sure, though.

FAVORITE? .... Peanut Butter M&Ms and Cadbury Creme Eggs. But I have been keeping Hershey kisses and Rolos in the house for when I just want a little "something".

Went to the grocery store after work and was so hungry (classic mistake). Managed not to buy ALL THE THINGS. Came home and portioned out and logged a snack. Not so hangry anymore!

My Nana has these plates! :D

I know this is old, but I just wanted to say that I once watched an episode of one of those "survivor" type shows... they had the contestants treading water while holding something over their heads and were trying to bribe them into giving up. Two girls tapped out for a gigantic plate of oreos and a jar of peanut butter.

Toasted Health Nut bread with peanut butter and cinnamon. And a cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream. :D :p

I like this thread! Breakfast: Apple with 1Tbsp peanut butter Lunch: went out (unusual) and had a Mediterranean grilled chicken panini with fries Afternoon snack: half a pint of mint chocolate chip Halo Top Dinner: Buffalo chicken salad Depending on how late I'm up, I may or may not spend my last handful of calories on…

The fact that 32g of peanut butter does NOT seem like it equals 2Tbsp.

My coworkers go to lunch together on Tuesdays. I was asked if I was going today, and I told them it depended on where they were going (and explained why). They were going to a mexican restaurant, and I have a lot of trouble being good there! So, instead, I went home and made my own mexican-inspired meal that came in under…

Do you have any pictures of them unwrapped and/or prepared? I'd be interested in seeing the size. 310 is a lot of my precious calories! :D

I'm gonna go ahead and make myself look like a real moron by saying "THANK YOU" because I have often wondered about the accuracy of my apple logging, and it never dawned on me to use this simple solution.

salad veggies, salmon (which I cooked for the first time ever) and dog food.

I want to like oatmeal. I don't know why. I just feel like I SHOULD. But no matter how delectable it sounds with all its add-ins or how wonderful its cinnamon/maple/sugared/salty smell tickles my nose buds.... It still tastes like lumpy wallpaper paste.

Some places (usually dentist offices) will do a candy buyback after Halloween where they will pay kids for their unwanted candy. I think they send the candy to troops overseas. My office did it our first year open.

I see what you did there.

My mom came into town and dropped homemade cupcakes off at my work. (Bless her sweet self... To be fair, she didn't know I'm exercising restraint.) I brought one home for my son but left the rest at work and didn't touch one! And my mom makes the BEST cakes and cupcakes, for real.

HOLY MOLY, you look like your own daughter! Way to go!!!!!!
