Look into getting a "hot logic mini." I have one and can cook my lean cuisine at my desk! just plug it in a couple hours before you want lunch.

I have this same problem and for various other reasons (mood swings, cramps etc) decided to try out 90 day birth control and I love it. Might be work finding out if this would be a good option for you. I hated the monthly interruption that always seemed to happen right when I was getting in a good rhythm. dealing with it…

Round 55 SW 151.6 This is my first time doing this. I really like the idea of "ten days" because I know I can at least give that! My biggest issue is the weekend, I tend to go all out and undo my hard work for the week. My goal this week is to not go above maintenance this weekend, and hopefully see results that aren't…

I struggled (and still do) with this, and one thing that helps me a lot is OA (overeaters anonymous.) They have meetings all over, google OA meeting and you might find one near you. Non-judgmental support, especially if you have a hard time seeing a therapist for financial or other reasons.

One big help to me has been keeping flavored tuna (in a pouch) at my desk for emergency salads! I like Spicy Thai tuna and Ranch tuna, added to whatever lettuce and vegetables I can find. It almost doesn't need dressing because it's full of flavor already.

One thing that I haven't seen mentioned yet is caffeine! Unless you were drinking caffeine-free, you must have had a pretty steady flow of caffeine throughout the day with five cokes! I know I get cranky as all get-out if I skip my morning coffee, and weaning off caffeine at the same time I am trying to cut calories sounds…

My new favorite *Easy* breakfast: lightly grease muffin tin, line each cup with a slice of ham add any veggies you like! (I like a little salsa, too!) pour 1-2 egg whites on top Sprinkle with cheese or spices bake at 375 for about 10 mins I make a dozen or so on Sunday, and keep them in the fridge, ready to grab,…

I am with you on the beer and cheese! I haven't found a good substitute for beer, but a secret I wish I had learned sooner- Trader Joes has light Mozz that is literally half the calories per ounce of any other light mozz I have ever found. also, laughing cow wedges ring in at 35 cals each and sometimes do the trick! I am…

Thanks everybody! I have used the recipe builder, and do use a food scale to measure. I guess I just over complicate things when I'm adding a little of this and a little of that... It is so much easier to scan a barcode and be done! Thanks for the heads up about the sodium. I don't have any health issues with sodium but…

Wow, thanks guys! I'm even more excited now!

In the past, PMS has really de-railed my daily habits, food and exercise especially! I now take an oral birth control that stretches MTOTM from every month to every other month. there are some that can stretch it to twice a year. This has been a great help to me being more consistent, and might be worth talking to your…

Hello! I am 150 aiming for 135...and then 120! I'm only 5'2 so a few pounds make a big difference! I am new here (this is my second week) but it has been a huge help, and lots of great motivation!

I love to cook and have been finding *sneaky* ways to make may favorite meals more healthy. Spaghetti and meatballs = Turkey meatballs & Spaghetti squash, with a veggie packed sauce! Rice = cauliflower rice. You can get it pre-made in the frozen food section, but I just take frozen cauliflower, through it in the ninja…

I completely know what you mean! When I started dating my boyfriend 2.5 years ago, we were both in pretty good shape. We got content, Fat and happy if you will? We got into bad habits together- eating out, drinking a beer or two after work, etc. Now I am working to get back to my former size, and I feel like he is worried…

Hello, I am new to MFP and would love to join this group. I work a desk job all day and need an anchor for those times that I want to reach for an unhealthy snack, or skip my afternoon workout because I just want to go home. I have started this fitness journey with commitment this time, and want to lose about 20 pounds by…
