Feel free to message me and add! I would also like a friend for accountability and inspiration!

I think it's difficult for the OP to lose weight even by going out to eat every day. I'm aware that a caloric deficit is the key to weight loss, but there are some differences between making food at home and eating restaurant food. If the OP needs to eat as an example, 1400 calories to lose weight, it means cooking from…

I've been told to prepare and eat the same things-- which honestly, sounds like it sucks. Why should we have to eat like that to lose weight? I notice the monotony makes me discouraged because I get to see other people eating more variety. I do think using a crockpot is a good idea.

I'm studying computer science at Metrostate in St. Paul, MN.

My husband doesn't like to eat the same thing more than once, so I need to cook more than one thing.

Alright everyone, let's not bicker! Thanks for the brand name-- are they available at a store like Container Store? Or should I buy them online? I also like the ideas about ziplock bags, never considered that before. I just realized the gallon size ones would be great for storing prepared meals in the freezer, flat! The…

Good idea! Do you know of some tupperware brands that hold up well in the freezer? I recently threw out a lot of plastic lids that were flaking from freezer use (it was pyrex).

No kids (thank goodness for now) and my husband doesn't cook.

Yes, but what did you do to be successful with weight loss? As someone who's responsible for 100% of the cooking, I need more tools in my toolbox. And before someone gets on me, I've been able to to lose 20+ lbs so far. The reason why I was able to do that is because I didn't have the same schedule load I have now.

Is anyone who's posted a nontraditional student?

Um, I'm the wife lol. I do all of the cooking and I also cook for him too. A lot of those foods aren't conducive to weight loss, either...

Ugh I can't eat the same thing-- I get discouraged and give up. I find it easier to rotate between foods and make different combinations. I have limited resources and my fridge isn't very big, so I can only prep so far out. I also have the tendency to get REALLY hungry during night classes.

Maybe with all of us CC refugees, we can add pressure to the tech support at MFP and they'll change it!

My goal is to manage stress better. I tend to be an emotional or stress eater, and I need to develop new strategies or coping skills to deal with stress.

hi there! I think we might be twins!

hey everyone! Looking for a twin/buddy... Age: 32 (almost 33) Height: 5'4" HW: 184 CW: 155 GW: 125 I'm apple shaped, though a ruler when I'm thin and am currently a nontraditional student attending night classes. I also work, am married, and am trying to sneak in more ways to be active.

Yes, I do take advantage of my school's gym! It's much nicer than the one at my apartment. It's easy for me to do that with my afternoon class, but not as easy with my night classes. One thing I haven't figured out is what constitutes lightly or moderately active? Am I stuck being sedentary forever? After I graduate from…

I think the food logger does allow for grams, but it's really funky. It'll list it as 1 gram, but I think you'd have to add in how many grams you measured. It also allows you to view the nutrition info before you log, but CC's feature to see it in real-time was nice :(

You could make channa masala, mixed veggies with rice, vegetarian sandwiches, etc. I really like the baked potato bar that kenyon mentioned-- have a bunch of ingredients like baked beans in sauce, finely chopped veggies, sour cream, salsa, and spices.
