Hubby is picking up my Halo Top on Thursday. I keep trying to get him to go early but he is being a putz about it. I don't miss the snacks much and if I do, 2 or 3 doritos or 2 or 3 crackers is all I need and then I don't feel "deprived" at all. I am a potato addict so I think I am doing good having an occasional 4 or 5…

You guys are being so helpful and so NICE. Sometimes these threads keep me from saying a word out of fear of some of the more heavy handed people. I know everyone means well but I have pretty low self confidence as it is so I take things wrong sometimes.

My Healthy life Wheat and White look about the same but they are 35 calories a slice and only 2.5 grams of fiber per slice but I can still work with that. Do I just order this stuff online?

I started off here eating 3 meals but now I don't really get hungry till lunch time and I like being able to have a good lunch and dinner . I will eat breakfast if I am hungry but if I am not, I just wait till lunch which is 90% of the time.

I am finding the same thing. I had hubby get me that 2 pack of Hostess Cupcakes last week. It took me 3 days to eat 1 cupcake and the other one is still there untouched. When I do want a guilty snack, I can grab 4 crackers and be fine. Once I grabbed 3 Doritos, weighed them, ate them and I was fine not having more. My diet…

I am the same way, AlabasterVerve. I would much rather have a baked potato than a dessert.

It is totally fine Sunny_Bunny. You didn't say anything wrong. It's all good. :)

OHHHH...I DO want to try the Halo Top Ice Cream. I heard it was really good but I am not a big Ice Cream person unless, of course, it is Mint Chocolate Chip....lol

kpk54. It is 16 carbs for 2 slices and 5 fiber so 11 net carbs for 2 slices. It is Healthy Life Whole Wheat/Whole Grain. They also have it in White as well but I prefer the Wheat.

I completely understand, Sunny_Bunny. I am actually a recovering addict. I was addicted to opiate pain pills for over a decade. I cleaned up 7 years ago. I have an extremely addictive personality but the food thing doesn't seem to be a problem. Yes, before I started my journey, all I ate was junk.... Processed, frozen,…

It is the same here. I don't have my wheat bread or a potato every day. I am now average 1 small potato a week and 1 sandwich for lunch a week and never on the same day although when I was ok with 50 grams a day, I would do both the same day. I don't crave carbs more from having them and I don't have any medical issues for…

The strangest thing happened to me with one of my favorite cheeses. We always get Land O Lakes American Cheese from the deli. I have always loved it but the last couple times I have had it on a sandwich or burger, it tasted horrible and I have no clue why.

I am trying SO hard not to be afraid of fat. We had it drilled in our heads for years that it was bad and my brain automatically keeps sending me back to if we are putting all the extra fat in our bodies, won't our bodies burn that fat instead of our stored fat? That is my only hangup about it and I have always been afraid…

Thank you very much, Samantha. I have sugar free mini hershey bars here for a quick chocolate fix. It is so yummy now and again but I don't make a habit out of it. I cut out all soda except I found Coke Zero so am drinking some of that now and I actually managed to squeeze in a HALF of a Hostess cupcake the other…

Dr. Oz has endorsed a bunch of the crap diet pills. Save your money..don't do it.

I get a lot of their fit and active stuff. They have a sweet italian turkey sausage, and their rotisserie flavor turkey breast tenderloin is great. OH, and I got one of their Strip Steaks for the first time and it was AWESOME. I was really impressed how good it turned out. I get their string cheese and they have a variety…

Same here on my laptop...just the block advertising adding friends through Facebook and nothing else.

You guys know how it is now. If you listen to all the stuff floating around out there now, almost EVERYTHING is bad for you or causes cancer or some other horrifying disease unless it all natural, organic, no this or that...oh..and lets not forget gluten free. I take all of it with a grain of salt and just try and use…

Exactly. In the Coke Zero that I drink there is only 70mg in 20 ounces. For me that is negligible.

With me it is the higher protein that stops me up. I thought artificial sweeteners...at least some of those had the opposite effect. The sugar free gummy bears being an example and I was warned when I got my sugar free hershey bars that I would get the "squirts". I was getting corked up before I started the Coke Zero. I…

I just discovered Coke Zero and Cherry Coke Zero and am loving it. I gave up my Soda Stream Cola because it was half and half real sugar and artificial sweetener because I am trying to stay lower carb. I do not like the standard diet colas but I guess since I was drinking the half and half for a few years, I got used to…

Thank you SO much, KnitOrMiss. If it is ok, I am going to send you a friend request.

I would think this would be a safe place for her to talk about her concerns. She is simply being honest and not editing how she thinks or feels thinking MAYBE she would get some understanding and support. If her partner is on on MFP, why would it matter? People go to advice forums all the time spewing all their personal…

I got Pizza a week ago and just ordered the thin and crispy crust. 2 large pieces was 38 carbs so I just made sure I had zero other carbs for my other meal and it worked but I won't make a habit of it.

I used to be a Coke and Pepsi drinker depending on what year we were at. A few years back I bought a Soda Stream machine and started using their colas because they were half artifical sweetener and half real sugar so the calories were cut down considerably. Now I am using the Soda Stream to make my own flavored waters with…

I haven't started working out much yet. I was walking till I twisted my foot when I stepped into a whole when trying to mow the back grass but as soon as I get a bit more of this weight off, I want to set up an actual exercise routine but there is sooooooooooo many things I could do, I have NO clue where to start. Hubby is…

I have switched it up a couple times...started out just with calorie deficit and keeping in line with MFP defaults...I tried being mindful of fat...never going over. Then I decided to try low carb (between 50 and 100 grams...usually around 75) which was also very doable. I was allowing myself some Soda Stream cola ...up to…

I can't stop laughing, midwest! I don't crave sweets or anything like that so my ONLY carbs are the 16 I will get from a sandwich or the 30 or so I will get from a baked potato. I can do my french fries for 12 but when I do those things, there are no carbs coming from anywhere else so I can still stay under 50 very easily.…

HAHAHAHAHA, Jessica. You sound just like me. Ok, I have found that my small baked poato STUFFS ME. I have one with my steak with some full fat sour cream and chives and it keeps me really really full. Other veggies...not so much... My lean meats also satiate me. Ok...I still haven't changed my macros so carbs are still…

I just realized what that darn "kitten" is. That is too funny.
