  • R21 SW= 227.7 lbs R21 EW= 225.3 lbs R22 EW= 225.8 lbs R23 Day/Weight/Comment 11/19= 223.8 lbs- Well, too bad this wasn't yesterday. I could have had a loss for the last round. Pretty happy to see this drop though! Now...to keep this number through Thanksgiving...that's my goal. Losing would be great, but I'll be happy to…
  • Wow, let me tell you... I had what seemed like the smallest portions of my favorites at lunch today. I didn't go back for seconds. And still- when I use MFP to 'guestimate' the calories, it was still over 1000 for that meal. Now, I didn't eat much the rest of the day, and I'm actually a little hungry now (but not planning…

  • Yep, weigh in after Thanksgiving dinner x2, plus leftovers for another day... Hopefully, I will be able to use my self-control to have moderate portions.

  • yes, I plan to log, but I'll keep in mind that it's not exactly accurate. I'm not doing recipe builder, or weighing food, or anything. I'll do generic homemade dressing, mac n cheese, etc. and use the calories that MFP gives. I'll 'guestimate' serving sizes. It won't be perfect, but it will give me a rough estimate. I'm…

  • R21 EW= 225.3 lbs. (Lost 2.4 lbs.) R22 11/9- 224.9/ Great start. Had a good day yesterday with food and steps. However, I've blown it today with food choices. bad mood + hunger = less resistance to temptation. Not looking forward to the scale tomorrow. 1 step forward, 5 steps back it seems... 11/10- 226.0/ I expected this.…
  • I believe the thinking about the price of fruit and chips is that they can both be snacks or sides to a sandwich. If you're limited on funds, then you may only be able to choose one snack item and the chips are cheaper. I'll admit I'm faced with that choice often. Although bananas are usually pretty cheap, chips are a much…

  • You've got some great advice about needing enough calories, so I won't add to it. However, I can answer your question about filling, low calorie foods, which I think is what you were asking about. Here are some of my quick and easy meals- not always using fresh ingredients though. I really like English Muffins- Thomas High…

  • I have weighed myself in the mornings before and after the first pee and/or poop. Sometimes on the same morning- weigh before, go potty, weigh after. I've done this multiple times. There is never a consistent difference and not sure how, but sometimes I weigh more after going potty. I would just weigh after a potty trip…
  • Also, my daughter watches and sends me those documentaries, many of which I'm sure are the worst of the lot and not representative of all, maybe not even the majority. Even so, it makes me sick to see what goes on in some of these factories. I agree that it's hard to 'unsee' that, and makes me more aware of animal products.
  • My daughter is vegetarian...working her way to vegan, so I've been learning to adapt. One of the hardest is packaged foods. Yes, I know fresh foods are better and I do a good bit of fresh food cooking, but when you have 30 min after work to get supper on the table for hungry folk, it's good to have box/can/frozen foods…

  • I've been logging food on MFP for a long time, but this is the first time I've been on the Community section. I'd like to join this challenge to help me get motivated to lose weight again. I was doing great last year when I got a fitbit for Christmas. I lost 25 lbs before June. Then summer break came (I'm a teacher) and I…
