Whooo hoooo - how long has it been?

Can we talk boots?? I took a before picture of me trying to zip up a really cute pair of boots. Once my legs are slimmer I'm hoping there will be an "after" pick of my legs, where I can zip the boots up, hehehe.

So what are you going to do differently this time that you did not do before? Consider getting a seperate wellness coach or friends in the physical world also - vice virtual to help keep you accountable.

Feedback on this process: Just to let you know, I found the instructions quite complicated - I pressed the join button, but could not follow the instructions that followed after that, so I left the group. Where to post my information was complicated....there were posts from quite a long time ago, and I didnt' see where to…

Thanks! I imagine regular weigh ins will be key, and if any movement beyond 5 pounds, to jump back on the train.

Hi Carlo, perhaps we are all sleep deprived, so you are not alone. I don't understand the weight measures as I'm on the other side of the pond. What I can say is that logging all your food and coming up with a plan allows you to control what you are eating for a positive result and to stick to it. Start by setting up your…

Just found that a can of artichokes in water is 50 cals for the can. I bought four.

It’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle change log everything and continue your journey, we all have days that go over, but some that go under our calorie goals.

Fantastic - congratulations!! Way to go!! How long were you dedicated to doing it. Did you use MFP regularly for logging? Any tips for success?

Wow.....what was the hardest part and what kept you focused.

I’m curious - what is it you must eat. I’m envisioning like eyeball fish soup or something. At work when people heat up fish the smell gets to me.

I made a mistake not realizing the bag was 9 cups, not three - wishful thinking - ha, I have now corrected my logging as of last week. Explains some.

Sounds like she just didn’t have the interest, I don’t think her response was aimed at you, more her lack of desire.

I hope you are joking, instead you might say that you consistently have to work at it and it’s outside your calorie range.

I bought some turkey bacon, have not tried it yet. Maybe do potatoes with turkey bacon and chives with jalapeños

Do you mean like bacon bits?

Is there a certain brand of dressing you use?

The cranberries are very high in sugar. But I think that yes....the snacking adds to extra weight if it’s like extra snack g on top of what you should be eating. By tracking I realize I’ve been consuming at least twice my portion size. hence why I started I was 236 when I should be 150. Snacks matter if they are the excess…

Well welcome back to the band wagon. Let’s do it! Again.

I was wondering same, I have extra skin there and quite a few more to go.

Eat with new friends :)

I'll check it out

I think if you track 6 months would do it at a steady pace. I’m at 20 right now, hoping for 16 by end of feb.

Fantastic, how many weeks have you been at it

Oh you might need to be more specific on your goal for type of snack.

So I just made these today. I had a lot of fruit pairs that we're going to go into fruit baskets but wouldn't last long as they were too ripe when delivered this past weekend. So today I peeled and cooked them down. Added lime juice/zest, Cinnamon, little pumpkin spice, and a few natural cherries and 2 Splenda brown sugar…

Awesome!! That's a great idea. My whole milk yogurt, I only use now as a topping since it was 160 cals for a small container 1/2 cup I think - that did surprise me. I cook fresh beats and cube them, so maybe don't eat so much of them that they add up much. Oysters and Crab wow....hmm I'll have to look that up.

I’m only eating it once a week now. Hard for me to control those portions. 2 oz is a tease :)

yep, I’ve probably been doing similar 2500-3000 (previously). I’m almost hitting 40 days tracking , and 11 lbs down,

That sounds like you had a rough year, glad you are here on mfp!
