All nice ! But the biggest difference was Lemon surprise! You must love looking at yourself! What a makeover! Wow!

I went from 205 lbs to with in 2 lbs if my goal weight of 175 lbs ! This happened only when I started to track my calories on MFP! I’m NEVER going to EVER stop tracking!! It’s not that hard and actually kind of fun. I get to eat whatever I want and not care of its so called “fattening” also my son lost 20 lbs once he…

15 percent of my calories are for deserts everyday. That’s about 350 of my calories, and with that I’ve lost 15 lbs from October till today. I am only wanting to loose another 4 lbs then I’ll go into maintenance, and continue always to make sure I treat myself to something sweet and yummy everyday! You don’t need to…

I think most people just eat. They don’t even consider calories or if it’s “good for you” or if it’s “ fattening “ or whatever. That’s why we see so many overweight people. If anything their hearing kittens from their doctor or family members or a commercial is telling them they should pay attention to what to eat. I see…

Same here! Working again

Just remember that if you don’t finish your salad that their are “starving children in China”

I was brought up on mayonnaise sandwiches. Two peaces of wonder bread with nothing but mayo inside.

I eat a starch based diet because that’s the food I grew up on. My family’s from the Middle East so we eat lots of bulger weat and white rice. And lots of unleavened bread. You know it as pita bread. It works for me because I watch my calories. My brothers and sisters eat it and their fat because they eat to much if it. So…

Theirs a donut shop near me that have four dollar donuts. Now I had to try one and now I’ll never go anywhere else for donuts. And they have vegan donuts also. I’m getting a vegan maple donut this Sunday. I’ll eat less Saturday and bank the calories for the donut Sunday!

Remember the movie Cool Hand Luke with Paul Newman? Their was a famous quote “their are some people you just can’t reach “

Back in the 70’s nobody was going to the gym and everyone was slim. Now everyone is running, lifting, and aerobics! Spinning class. And obsessed with exercise. And overweight. Why? I’m guessing that all that exercise is making people think that they can eat more.

I’ve been vegan for 45 years, and only gained weight once when I started to drink beer, since I’ve quit drinking about 10 years ago, I’ve never had a weight problem. I do track my macros and keep my fat very low, which probably helped me keep my calories down. I’m never hungry cause I eat till satiety. Lots of fiber. I…

What’s a “diet food” ?

Water is boring! I can’t drink water. Maybe a couple of sips and I’m done. And I’d rather drink regular coke and fit that into my calories then nast diet sodas.

I’ve kept my weight the same now for ten years by watching my calories. If everyone did this their would be far fewer overweight people. And I don’t find it hard, because I always include treats in my plan. Anyone overweight did not track their calories!! Or they were not aware of how many they were eating. Who knew that…

The first place that you’ll notice is from your face. You’ll look different and people will notice

Just logged 30 days, stayed in my calorie allotment. Ate so called healthy vegan foods. Hardly any snacks . Actually lost 1 and 1/2 pound. I’m only trying to maintain my weight so that was good. Now for the next 30 days I’m going to eat unhealthy foods lots of snacks and sugary food. But I’m going to stay within my caloric…

Someone should author a book titled “clean eating diet “ sell a million copies. On the last page put a paragraph saying don’t forget not to eat to much!

Fitness begins with being leaner. So many people complain that they don’t understand why they can’t loose weight or why their overweight, when they say they eat healthy. I guess they probably mean they don’t eat lots of sugary snacks or snacks filled with lots of oils. Deductive reasonings would lead me to believe then…

At least your only thinking about food all the time. Just got back from vacation in Florida and all I saw were passengers eating all the time. I don’t know what it is about a three hour flight that makes people freak out about having enough food

I treat calories like money. I wouldn’t want to spend that many calories on a muffin.

What he said

Have you tried eating pizza without the cheese but just the sauce and lots of vegetables?

I’ve been on MFP now for 3 weeks, to track my macros on my vegan lifestyle to make sure I’m getting them right. I posted that I didn’t believe in CICO and all that mattered was eating healthy. I’ve now had a 180 degree reversal in my thinking. After much more research and my personal tracking of my calories and nutrition…

Hi everyone! Steve here! I’m 63 and have been vegan for about 10 years and vegetarian since the 70s ! That was when we thought we had to eat rice and beans together to get a complete protein. Does anyone else remember those days?

That felt good.

Hey Jerome!!!!!

Beans and rice

That was protein at 1/2 lb per body weight. Sorry
