Awesome thanks for sharing this very insightful Is the tomato soup homemade, or from can, if latter perhaps they added sugar? Lol @ good sugar (good sugar? Vs bad sugar? Lol) lol This is big insight thanks for sharing. So when I eat oatmeal, I use unsweetened milk, and add berries (can't remember how much sugar each), but…

Oh ok, lol, thanks for explaning yet again. First the percentages throw me off, then the switch from caliries to grams. So for 1600 calories, 5%, 80 calories, about 21.3 grams of ADDED sugar? Plus whatever (unlimited?) amount of natural sugars? Ok, good to know, thanks for explaning

I eat 1600 calories and have no problem to manually choose 26 grams of total sugar. It's like saying 2300 mg of sodium is "allowed". However if I want to manually choose 1500 mg as my limit, there really is no problem I don't understand why it seems that folks would debate me on my choices, rather then advise me…

Thanks for this as well, especially explainin 5% of total calories, this is very helpful. So if I understand, the "recommendation" is that my sugar (from ADDED sugar sources) should be no more than 5% of total calories ? So if I understand, and I'm eating 1600 caliries, then I can eat up to 80 grams of ADDED sugar? Whoa!…

Ok thanks, it's these percentages that always throw me off. :) So, in mfp goals, just so OP or anyone who wants to know, you can manually change grams of sugar that you want to consume each day. If you choose 26 g, then mfp will add all the sugar from all your foods, if you go over 26g it let's you know.

Where does 45 g come from? I think 26 g in OP question sounds close to 24 or 25 g that I've seen mentioned somewhere. In mfp tool, I noticed I could change my sugar grams grams to 24, 25, 26 etc ie whatever I choose that suits my body. Did I misread your comment? where does 45g "lowest sugar goal" come from?

Nice!

Smart phone is being too smart, paneer-bits

Sounds cool, was this a scramble? Where do you get panera bits?

Thanks for these tips, I hope they help J

Thanks, yes very much

It took me a while to figure it out, lol!

I was also wondering. also how do you know it is 61.8 calories more? (I hadn't seen decimal calories before)

great points thanks for sharing!

I've been paying attention to this not being hungry for the last two months. What I've learned about myself is that I have a few days where I'm just not that hungry. I've learned to just accept these days, and so long as I eat something, I've learned not to "sweat" these not hungry days. There are also days where I'm…

Interesting question. I am watching my sugar intake by looking at the total grams per day. I hadn't thought how to differentiate between added and natural. It's possible I don't have too much added sugar in what I eat so I hadn't really thought about this. When you decide what to do, or what works for you, share your…

I heard you mention doc says.... did your doc refer you to physical therapy? If you hadn't yet tried it, that would be where I'd start /go if I were you. Besides physical therapy (professional advice personalized to help you with your specific injury), perhaps try swimming?

great question. i don't know the right answer. however i did find on fitnessblender (look on google or youtube) a workout program specifically for the butt. and if you want to know the results, somewhere on fitnessblender there is a photo of before and after of the girl doing the exercises. she has a very nice round bum…

yes have heard of fitnessblender and tried a couple of the beginner ones, been lazy lately, but would definitely recommend using fitnessblender!!

Sharing this thread again as I find the tips so useful to help many of us work on identifying what works. I've found that weight loss works best when I find what works for ME, that means eating the foods that taste appealing to ME in the quantities that help me meet my weight loss goals. For example, myth out there that I…

not Indian here but love Indian food. Like replies above suggest the details are the key. A teaspoon of the ghee one can find at Trader Joe's is about 45 calories or so. So if you start to measure or weigh or count calories (by logging your food) you'll start to lose weight. The trick is really counting the calories. I see…

I think I saw the word "binge" in your question. Before using mfp community pages, I would use words like "binge' ... apparently binge is an eating disorder... so asking out of concern for you - do you think you are "binge" (in the disorder fashion) or are you using the term "binge" rather loosely? I think I also saw the…

Lol, true, hot pants was funny

Great tips thanks! tent or other test sounds like a perfect way to stress test the relationship, makes lots of sense!

Many thanks guess will have to reflect more on this issue of change and phases :/

just seeing re visualization of bricks & intensity, the imagery is powerful, that's a very strong bond, congrats!!

had missed seeing this & I do think it's really important. Agreed on not disliking the in laws if liking them is not at all possible :)

I feel the same as all of you. I've learned so much since I discovered the community pages a little over a month ago. And I've found it's so useful for life in general, as weight has such huge connection to quality of life. Thanks mfp community &thanks OP for saying it for us!!

Thanks! Great point, I too really struggle on not thinking of my own response. Will have to work on it!!
