Just a note to say studies or theories or not, for me personally if I get too low on fiber I have terrible bathroom problems. At my low calorie limit, I often have issues getting enough, so have been planning to get a fiber supplement but havent taken the time research what one I should get or the best way to take it.

By 5 (4? whatever) pages, this has probably been put to bed, but I just wanted to speak up to say something from a different point of view. I am rather hesitant to admit, but i must say i was one who often said that type of thing to my friends- never to complete strangers, and only when they were discussing how much more…

I gained something like 10 pounds during my recovery after mine, which was 17 months ago, but that was before I started mfp. I wasnt counting, or even watching calories, so i had no idea how much i was eating, and of course my activity was really minimized. Being aware of what youre eating will help tremendously. It wasn't…

I absolutely take a multi. I dont often eat that balanced or as much veggie as I should, so I can use the vitamins & minerals. I wouldn't bother though if it was the cheap off the shelf stuff that uses forms that your body can't do much with. Basically, if youre going to do it, you may as well do it right.

Like the others said, when mine started getting wildly different- even though it's supposed to alert you when the battery is low- I changed the battery and it started working fine again. I did weigh something I knew the weight of, and it was changing the weight on them every time. Now it gets it right. Why it can't tell…

Pretty much what others are saying, no clothes, immediately after the morning toilet run. There's no way I'm going to hunt up the same clothes every time I want to weigh. Well technically I've been wearing my footies since it's been cold weather (not going barefoot on stone tile floors!) but they don't weigh enough to…

Oh no, we can't be friends anymore. I love my truvia :D

Amazing transformation. How long did it take?

Generally something sweet or dessert-y every day. My husband and I both have a serious sweet tooth. I *make* it fit! :D

Hi Amy (you wont mind if I dont shorten that to God, right?) :o It definitely seems like unless there is a lot of activity on the main threads talking about a group, or the group is fully established with active members, it's destined to go into a ghost town mode. It says a lot that the other contributors to this thread…

Ah didn't see this follow up. I am not sure, but it sounds like it must not be regularly available elsewhere if you & they don't recognize it. I have no idea why not. It is just what it says, butter that's been beaten/whipped, like with a giant whisk, so that air is folded into it, just like you would do to make whip…

Quoting myself, (tacky I know), but just wanted to make clear, I wasn't a member of CC (although i did peek at their database!), but Im happy to welcome anyone who was to MFP, and help you adjust, although only started MFP in October so sometimes I dont have answers either O.o

Just saw this, absolutely had to share ... ROFL

Relax, there is no bad food. :) There are foods it's better to have less of, if you want to have a balanced and workable diet- as in what you eat for life, not "dieting", but as long as it isn't spoiled or poisoned, it isn't bad or dirty. Eat what works for you, make sure to get enough protein in so you dont lose muscle…

do it! doooooooooooo eeeeeeeeeeeeet!! :D Im glad we never go to movies, that would so be a weakness if I had the opportunity. omg I love butter. Have to work HARD to limit it.

I just discovered those! wowzers, they are actually really good and you can eat a bunch for not too much calories. I could comment on all you said, but i think Im starting to spam this thread! Its just.so.good!

Cmon yall got to stop, i havent laughed this much in months! My husband thinks Ive completely lost it. he's gone to make me food, must think Im in some low sugar hallucinations hahahahah Its a good thing my computer chair has arms..... rofl :D

I am laughing SO hard over here, my husband keeps craning his head around from his tv chair and saying "who ARE you talking to???" makes me laugh even harder.... omg i never had so much fun in these forums before

lick windows? ok i take back what I just said in that friend request, there IS such a thing as unclean food...windows?? ewwwwwwwww O.o lol

bahahhahahah I am SO stealing that picture. This thread is fast becoming near and dear to my heart. Every time I see someone... omg *must*add*friend*... I realize... theyre already my friend hahahaha... go Sue! <3

I laughed when I saw that....looking at your profile picture, that is a lab right? :D

LOL different strokes. I have some of the Special K ones, you can have them =P One they are ridiculously tiny- like the size of a cracker. Two, it tastes mediocre at best. For 10 more calories, I'll take the fiber one brownie 100 times out of 100. I just have the rest of the box of special K to finish, because I hate…

omg the fiber one mint chocolate brownie is heaven in 90 calories <3

ha, I saw this headline & thought there's someone I can get on board with. Then I looked at the poster & we're already friends lololol It's sure not me giving you grief, I eat a serving of ice cream every evening if I can, and when I found some fat free fro yo that was less calories & tasted even better, now I eat that!…

I'll second that on the database, I've checked a lot of things on CC's database that were more accurate, while MFP retains a dozen different items that are exactly the same plus half dozen that are flat wrong. And that's for less popular items! It can take forever scrolling for one that is current and correct. The correct…

If the mfp app tells you 1200, then you will lose weight at that level, just it may or may not be as fast as you want, because if your calorie requirement is already low, it wont go lower than 1200. There's no magic number, you dont gain weight or lose at a certain number unless thats the one correct for YOU. It varies for…

aww but we wanted to know HOW you filled those calories, as that is what the actual topical responses were about :D

Only in fridge though sometimes I try to get it out ahead of time to warm a bit. I have experimented with keeping it out various times in my life, and what happens most often is I use WAY MORE, because it's very handy and so easy to use. Butter is a weakness for me, so it's better if it's out of sight. I am trying whipped…

Yep I am right there, I can go till at least lunch if not longer if i dont eat anything (although I usually get my chai, a hot drink doesnt trigger the hungries/stomach growl nearly so much.) But once you start the eating, its all about waiting for the next one. For me, over 60% and sometimes alot more of my calories are…

I have been debating that question myself. i dont really care for margarine's taste, and I can really crave butter, its been hard to cut that down. But its also a pain to get/weigh a small amount, so i just bought some whipped butter today to try and make it easier to get a small portion. I was thinking of trying a few of…
