I dont mind liking when someone posts their end of day under their limit closeout, that's the point, to come in under your limit, and some days its a battle to do so, so no reason why i cant throw a like, whether I see what they ate or not. Its part of why most folks get friends on here. I dont comment of course if it's…

Im with the vote that prefers kitten to asparagus! Just doesn't have that roll off the tongue (& rolling on the floor?) funny sound. Besides the practical, people are likely to actually use that word more. of course not me, I hate asparagus =P I thought the kitten thing was so funny I started using it intentionally for…

You think youre confused, where you typed a**es my browser dutifully returned *smurf* because I use a cute little profanity filter that changes words I don't feel like reading to *smurf*. {you write what you want, I read what i want, its all good} So where it wasn't asparagused, it was smurfed! Of course when it quotes, it…

Well i had been avoiding this thread, it's fabulous, but always makes me drooling hungry hahahaha Then i realized I was like 300 posts behind or some such ridiculous amount, and figured i better catch up, only to find yall went and made a group without me :O Now i gotta qualify! noooo .,. lessee, pizza hut this week does…

No doubt, but they were supposed to be the ones that offered the healthy menu to begin with =P Now they are dropping my favorite bread. Sigh. I started using mustard instead of mayo on sandwiches but forgot last time I got a sub, and of course they do that slather on thing before you can even say stop- go easy- or…
-
You know what grinds my gears? used to be at Subway, you could turn any sub into a sald, same price. After all, they were saving the cost of the bread! But now, if you want a salad instead, it TWO DOLLARS more to SKIP the bread!! Im like whaaaaa?! My husband said "they are paying for the container" ... you mean that flimsy…

Food wont magically turn to fat because you eat it at night, unless of course it goes over your maintenance. However I try to avoid drinking too much within a few hours of going to bed because Ill have to get up and pee every.single.time. =P Kinda sucks because Im normally not thirsty until the end of the day, so Im…

Anything Im hungry for. My meals tend to be light, so if Im still hungry a while later, Ill go find a granola bar, or fruit if i have some, yogurt, or sometimes these little gyro sandwiches, theyre great. Sometimes as a snack I have ice cream or toaster strudels - I love wildberry. <3 But literally anything can be a snack.…

For me it was a certain number on the scale that triggered the thought process, it scared and disgusted me at the same time. It wasn't that day I started on weight loss- it just triggered the start of it brewing in the back of my mind. As i mentally added up the negatives/losses/cons from the weight I was at, (my previous…
-
Well you sold me, I just found one and ordered it :) I wasnt sure if a tracker was for me or not, but for that little money, its worth trying and if dont like using one, no big deal! :smiley: I paid for a quick shipping, but we'll see just how quick it really is, but under 3 bucks added for shipping is less than what you…
-
yes. I stop eating when it's time for bed. I hate crumbs in the bed.
-
Eat less than my target calories per day (a deficit of my choosing) and more than 1,000 calories per day (minimum for women). I manage that by counting calories. That's all the "musts" there are for weight loss. Anything else is preference.
-
Youre not alone here. I started watching it for motivation, or so I expected, but I found it pretty disheartening and depressing. Doesnt help that I have checked on followups ("where are they now" type clips) and so many have just not progressed, or even regressed. There's a few success stories, but not nearly enough. They…

Nope, in Florida, food is generally not taxed, with the exception of prepared food (hot in the deli, restaurant, etc) soda and candy, and of course booze. A quick look at Google also says 31 states plus DC exempt most food from the usual sales tax.
-
I personally have had enough of people telling other people what they should and shouldn't consume because it's "good for them". Mentally capable adults should be making their own decisions on what they want to eat or drink . Adults are not 5 years old anymore and they don't need other adults to tell them what they…

First, you knew that would be an irresistible title to women, right? lol Back to your post content, there's a reason that people nickname that store "whole paycheck". :p
-
It's never smart to plan taxes to try and discourage or eliminate something considered negative. If it did work, to any extent, then the budget that was depending on those taxes drops (and once a government budget gets money, it *always* budgets on that amount continuing) and then you have to find *another* alternate way…

Who says a burger isn't "good for you"? What exactly do you mean by "good for you" anyway? One is beef, one is chicken, both are animal source protein. Dark meat chicken can have more fat than lean beef. In any case, fat isn't bad or unhealthy, it's just high calorie, and we need some in our diet. What makes a chicken meal…
-
Very definitely out of control. It needs to stop. I hate having to try on a million different sizes just to find one thing that fits. Every store/brand has it's own sizing scheme, and my memory is just not up to remembering what size I take in every single brand every store carries!! I used to just go to walmart and I…
-
I miss meals because I am sometimes crazy in my schedule, but mostly because if I get sidetracked I wont finish what Im doing, so i try to finish what I have in mind doing before stopping to eat. You can eat your calories anytime, when considering weight loss, although some recommend more specific timing if you have a…
-
I dont know how to calculate yours for you, i never go by cups anyway, only grams. What i do when i enter a recipe is pick a likely serving amount, guessing if I have to, I can always adjust it later. Then when it's all done I weigh how much it all is (I have previously recorded the weight of most of my cooking pans, or…
-
I already forgot yesterday's lunch (since Im a day late) but today I had potato soup (yes campbell's, my favorite). Softest thing I could think of that i like, my mouth is hurting even with pain med, need some dental work done bad. :(
-
I don't know anything about the avocado stuff (although I have heard someone else bring it up before) but just butting in to say - why not the sugar free pudding? Because it's nasty disgusting, that's why! :s I love pudding, so I thought I would save calories when i got started on my weight loss by buying the sugar free…
-
As the others said, I agree that timing itself doesnt affect weight loss, just the total calories, but you may want to note that if you skip a regular mealtime for you (intentionally or not), you could find yourself excessively hungry for the next meal, and then overeat because youre so hungry. So the timing doesn't…
-
I eat what I like, which definitely includes sweet stuff. I eat dessert most every night, of some kind, usually chocolate. I dont usually prelog, but I do have it in mind. There is no bad food by itself, just "too much food" is bad. Moderation in all things. Im not going to skip certain categories of food (that I like),…
-
One thing to do before buying a new one- replace the battery. I did that on mine and the problems I was having with wonky weights corrected itself. It's supposed to have a "low battery" symbol when that happens, but it wasn't showing up. The problem was the battery, however. You dont have to pay that much to get one that…

To be fair, they had given me some med for it and it wasn't working, I had been nauseous for awhile. When I complained to her about it later, she said "It worked didn't it?" :open_mouth: Well, true lol. Just hard to say which is worse, although I was on pain med so it probably didn't hurt as much as it could have. I don't…
-
There have been so many they took away that i bought religiously I cant even remember them all (but Planters cheese balls was one of them for sure!) :( But there was a meal I used to love making, using Rice a Roni Stroganoff flavor. (Just add ground beef, then a little sour cream at the end) Man it was good! I have since…

One stat youre missing in comparisons is age. The younger you are the higher your metabolism therefore the higher your calorie allowance. As long as you entered all the data that MFP asks for correctly, then your calorie allowance should be fairly accurate, you can make minor adjustments as needed, but it works for…
-
wow that's an entire person, you did awesome! :) Thanks so much for sharing, very inspiring, that must be such a difficult mental adjustment as well for you to get used to! Im working on adjusting to my so far 45 pound loss on the way to at least 80 (including what I lost before mfp), and one day I feel so skinny, one day…
