Sorry, 1400 is my calorie limit. I tried to edit but I haven’t been here for a little while and things have hanged and I can’t figure out how to edit on mobile.

Yes, I think I will try everything that is mentioned. It is just hard. I get home at 7:20, I get to sleep until about 9am until my babies wake up (2&3 yrs). Then I am up for the day until my husband gets home, and I usually sleep from about 4 until 9:30pm until I have to get ready for work. I drink coffee in the morning,…

Realizing that I don't have to eat "clean" to lose weight. I am allowed my fast food, and ice cream and every other delicious pleasure in the world. I don't have to be deprived, or feel left out as long as I fit it into my day. And if not the day, then as long my week is in a deficit. Also, calorie counting and losing…

"[see what number MFP gives you (for example right now I'm at 2070cal before exercise calories), eat under that number at about 400-600 cals without going below the bare minimum (1200 for women, 1500 for men)." @MichelleSilverleaf I'm sorry for the weird quoting, I'm on the app and it doesn't let me quote correctly. The…

"I use the ziplock divided rectangle for most of my lunches, plus half-cup (great for nuts and dried fruit pick-me-ups) and one-cup for extra fruit or leftovers or whatever. Target carries a lot of the ziplock stuff but I'm sure they're all over. I also use something like these almost every day for extra subdividing."…

"@daniellemichellecowger: Congratulations on 18! I hear you on snacks - I was right at my target last night but really wanted some jelly beans. I had some jelly beans. Weirdly, I kind of love packing lunches, so a little unsolicited advice here - I'm not out of the house as long as you will be, but I pack bento-style meals…

I've officially lost 18 lbs! I did eat 6oz of pasta yesterday, and I'm not sorry. Also, lately.. watermelon rockstar has been what gets me through the day. Zero calorie, and delicious. I've been getting diet drinks when I go to fast food (which I do at least once a week).. I think it helps not drinking my calories.…

Seconded! I don't really enjoy fast food much and I still love In & Out. Maybe it's for the best I moved away from the west coast. Also, I loled a little at the otter pop entry - my spouse is addicted to those things. For the sake of whoever you live with, I hope you don't leave the wrappers all over the house like someone…

I think I read somewhere we can just post whenever we feel like it! But I haven't had my coffee yet so..

It's sooo worth the 400 calories at lunchtime!!

I'm loving this group! You guys are awesome! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/daniellemichellecowger I'm not feeling like making dinner tonight buuuttt I will power through! Hopefully my 7 month old will let me have a relaxing night.

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/daniellemichellecowger Good morning!! I have lost 16.6 lbs.. Only 41.6 lbs to go! I don't always eat as "healthy" as I probably should, but I gotta live a little! Feel free to add me, or poke around in my diary.

Maybe try them scrambled? I get nauseated just eating them regular! Also rice and beans are great, and super filling. I also just pick up a variety of whatever meats have the best deals. Potatoes are cheap.

If I let myself, I can eat an entire large watermelon all to myself.

Rockstar lemonade hydration! They are delicious, and only about 15 calories for the whole can.

I set mine to sedentary at first. I am 5'3" and 172 lbs, and then MFP gave me 1200 calories. I am just a stay at home mom and I try to be up and walking or of course, carrying the baby around. Some days, I'm more inactive though. I started focusing on eating more protien while making it within my goals and I started…

It changes for me. If I'm making the recipe and putting the ingredients in myself with servings and such I just do the total amount. And it will distribute the calories evenly. If I'm just cooking something smaller with a little in the pan, I just estimate how much I have on my food. (It's usually not a lot). Just assume…

Some elderly neighbors used to do the saltine crackers and butter every day as their afternoon snack. [/quote] Saltine crackers and peanut butter is delicious! I probably couldn't do just butter.

Starting weight: 183.2 June SW: 180 June GW: 175 Ultimate goal: 125 Weigh in: June 9: 177.4 June 14: 174 June 23: 171.2 June 30: Total loss: 8.8lbs (so far) I haven't been exercising lately, but oh well! Maybe today, we'll see. Eating has been mostly good, so I will count it as a win.

Wait.. So you don't milk almonds? (Kidding) haha

Alright, here it goes! For burritos, especially the microwave kind, I have to eat the middle part first and then eat the tortilla. I hate mayo, because I feel like it tastes like rotten milk, and the texture coats my mouth. Foods shouldn't touch at all, and if it does then I won't eat the contaminated bits. For pizza I…

Helloo! My food diary is open, and I'm looking to loose 50 lbs more. I'm 20, and a new mom.

I have a (almost) 6 month old baby girl, and I'm focusing on loosing all this weight. For most of my pregnancy I was at home, and I really gained a lot of weight. Right before I gave birth I was 190lbs at 5'3". A little after I came home my weight was 180 and I was there for a long time. After having some difficult weeks,…

Name: Jessica Age: 20 Height: 5ft 3in Current Weight: 180.0 lbs Challenge Goal Weight: 155 lbs (1.5 lb/week) Ultimate Goal Weight: 125 lbs Goals: In June I'm doing the Nike+ Training the 4 week plan. My Motivation: I want to be healthy for my daughter and my husband!

I would definitely have to wean myself off of the sugar! My husband puts a couple ice cubes in and chugs it black. I can't do it! I like to sip and enjoy my creamy coffee.

If only I liked coconut

I feel the same way! Most days coffee is my "breakfast" and then I wait and eat lunch later. Otherwise, I feel like I'm hungrier and then I end up overeating by the end of the day. That's really not bad, 30 calories!

Might be just easier to make room in the budget. Will it inhibit my weight loss if I don't choose a healthier option?
