You passed!

I saw someone else here who had the same issue and ended up making one small cupboard for hubby's snacks only, so there was no reason for her to open it. But if this won't help you, I agree with @snowflake954. If you can't get rid of the cookie jar, you'll have to find sweet alternatives that's easy for you to grab. Fresh…

I completely, 100 % agree with this. A person has to find the motivation inside themselves to make this a lifestyle. And when you slip a day/week/month or longer, "you" are the one who has the ultimate control. We can inspire, support, suggest and help each other up when we fall, but at the end of every day, if I can't…

Lol...too funny. Made my day!

Maybe angel food with a light cool whip type of frosting?

I've always made chex mix with plain cheerios. My grandmother always did it that way. Homemade is so much better than the premade bagged chex mix.

Saw this article today in my news feed, quite interesting.

Produce, chicken, crystal light and coffee!

It may sound silly, but reading the MFP forums for a few minutes also helps me stay on track mentally.

Never forgetting my 'why'.

Any dolphin lover is a friend of mine! Welcome to MFP!

A cup of hot tea or sugar free jello does the trick for me.

75 hard lost me with the requirement for a daily 5 minute cold shower. :#

Yes, I joined because, why not? They can be fun. However, this challenge had no direct impact on making me log. I'm a daily logger regardless of challenges.

Your DETERMINATION has to trump your motivation. Every. Single.Day! You can do this, welcome to MFP.

Are you using a food scale to weigh your food portions? Have you done the MFP set up to get a daily caloric goal?

Fat loss is about consuming fewer calories than you burn. I'd suggest you read all the stickied posts in Getting Started. This is about maintaining a calorie deficit no matter your food choices or preferred eating style. Welcome to MFP!

It's easy peasy once your food list is built...and its FREE! I've been quite successful using it and met some awesome people!

I use them over the holidays for Peanut butter balls or rum balls. Perfect to hold one ball...or cut fudge.

K-cups taste plasticy go me. Fresh ground coffee is soo much better. I had to wean myself down over about a 3 month time period, but can now drink it with 1 splenda and half TBSP of a Skinny syrup. Less than 10 calories for my mug!

I play Animal Crossing NH to take my mind off it!

What an amazing start! Welcome to MFP!

Yes, I've had several.

Welcome to MFP!

This one may sound silly, but I've stopped asking my kids or husband to "run upstairs and bring down XYZ for me", or "will you please bring me a tea?" I'm finally getting off my butt and doing it myself just for a couple extra burn calories.

Awesome work!

Don't wait to get it back, just reach out and TAKE it! 😋 Welcome back to MFP!

For me personally, it's been more effective to do it the 'right way' off the bat. Baby steps are fine when Im beginning and learning, but those baby steps need to be accurate so I can learn better habits in a correct, healthy way to achieve long term and lasting goals and habits. But then, I have never been a person who…

If it fits within your daily calorie allotment, have 2 cups.

I do chicken in the crockpot with onions, peppers, canned tomatoes, garlic, italian seasoning and a bit of white cooking wine. Serve over rice for my husband, plain for me. If it cooks long enough it shreds so might take your shredded and add those things to it.
