Yea I too try and stay away from processed foods because of the sodium. I have to watch my sodium intake because I'm very likely to retain fluid if I don't. Everyone is different when it comes to sodium intake so do what you feel is best for you. I alway like the Lean Cuisines the best when I did eat them.

good information....bump for later......:)

I drink 2% because I think anything lower taste like water and is to thin. I have drank 2% so long whole milk to me is to thick. I use to be a big milk drinker untill I started watching my calories. I miss it sometimes:( (especially with oreo cookies...LOL)

I agree...good post!

I had this same question and researched it. It looks like this is one of those hot topics where you have people on both side of the fence. I love fruits and especially in the warmer months. So since I have been back I have went over on my surgar intake only due to my fruit intake. A few people I have talked with says the…

Sounds like you want it and think about it but you really don't have your mind made up to do it. Weight lose to me is the hardest thing. It really is a lifestyle you have to be ready to do. You need to stop the purging and eat what you want just in moderation. So refocus stop purging and live healthy. You can do this with…

I was born in October and after all this weight is gone I'm going to be a babe :bigsmile:

I boil in chicken broth instead of water. It gives rice a little bit of flavor and is quick and easy.

Its according to how educated you are in that area. I have learned alot and have read very good information in the fitness magazine.

sugar free chocolate pudding only 60 calories and you can add whipped cream on top for 25 calories. Total is 85 calories for a yummy chocolate snack. It helps me :happy:

I'm going out of town for a long weekend with hubby. I am so looking forward to it. We haven't had good solid alone time in a while with no interuption. :heart: and :love: and some :smooched: with some :wink: :bigsmile: and some :laugh:

Where is everyone? How is everyone doing? I'm working hard this week. I even ran alittle this week. I would like to get to my 10 lb. mark by valentines day. I'm going out of town with DH and want to feel good that I have made a mile stone.

Nothing taste as good as skinny feels!! Keep it in the back of you mind. Ask yourself how bad you really want it. If you want it that bad then eat one. For me usually when I go that far it just doesn't taste as good as I remembered and you can move on. It really is about portions and choosing to make healthier choices.…

I do because sometimes thats the only way I can finish up my water intake for the day too.

hello everyone You girls are doing so well and I have hit a brick wall and it isn't moving. :mad: I have tried everything. Right now I have decided to not get on scales but once a month because it is stressing me out so bad I want to give up.:cry: So I have them put up and my next weigh in and measurements is 1st part of…

I joined MFP in Nov 08 and lost 2 lbs then gained 3 lbs over the holidays. I have lost 1 of the 3 but still not enough for my ticker to move. :mad: It is very hard and fustrating. :grumble: I do try to only eat the calories I'm suppose to each day and I think thats why Im not moving the scale. I'm just maintaining what I…

punka274 - i will have to try that. I will try anything. I know I need to get the water in and more probably. I can usually get in 4 to 6 - 8oz but after that it gets hard. Im with you on the hubby thing. My husband lost his job at the end of the year as well and it is very hard to make it without that income. But we all…

Yea salad bars are a tough one for me too. Our local supermarket has a great SB and I go alot for lunch. I do what coronalime suggested. I know what I put on my salad which is close to a chef salad so I guesstimate with what is already in the database. Alot of people have been nice enough to figure up calories and servings…

Water has become a struggle for me. I'm not a big drinker so to even to get 8-8's has now become a problem. I have tried the favor water and still having the same problem. I have tried different types of containers. Right now I use a 20 oz water bottle. Help....does anyone have ideas or had the same problem?

Hello Everyone I gained 3 pounds over the holidays which I'm not depressed about cause I normally do worse. I am having a problem on the weekends with logging my calories. M-F I do so good but come the weekend I try to do it in my head so needless to say I need to fix that problem. I am trying to mix up my workouts so my…

I completely understand your pain and alot of MFP's have that problem. I have the same addiction but one of my new year promises is to measure and weigh once a month. I measured yesterday and weigh in today so I can't get on the scales till the 1st of Feb. Alot of people say to put the scale in an inconvenient place or…

Pam - maybe a stupid question but do you mean the ready to eat individual servings or is there something new out on the market I dont know about?

Hello Everyone!! Yea Im ready for Christmas too. Im also ready for things to get back to normal. All this food is very stressful for me. I have gained and lost the same 5 lbs. like twice since Thanksgiving. I know it could be worse but Im ready to lose and keep losing. Hey since it is Christmas week and we will be around…

Im in the same boat with you all. I have been fighting the same 5 lbs for about 2 months now. I got to a spot and couldnt lose anymore then finally lost 5 lbs down and ever since Thanksgiving have gained and lost that same 5 lbs I think twice. I try everyday to be good and then something happens that messes it up. I am so…

Yeah for you Allenhm!!! I have done good the past two nights not eating after 8:30. Isn't it funny the habits we get into and dont even know we have them. I too get hungry about an hour before bed and didnt realize it till now. My goal for basicly the whole week is to watch my portions and not go back for seconds. Stay…

I do the same thing. I focus on total calories. It would drive me crazy and i would probably give up if I had to watch it all. I usually have carbs left over and sometimes fat and go over on protein, fiber and sugar. I will admit the past couple of weeks I am attempting to watch my sugar and not go over. I had good results…

My favorite would have to be A Christmas Story. DH and I watch it every year. I also like the Santa Clause movies with Tim Allen. I guess the first one would be the best for me.

LOL :laugh: That brightened my afternoon.

Good afternoon Ladies!!!! I hope everyones day is going good. Been to busy today to post. I try and get in bed by 10:30 or 11:00 so...... no food after 8:30 for me. Thats a great challenge for me. Haven't thought about resolutions for 2009. Quickly thinking about it would be 1. drink more water and switch from regular Dr…

Good Morning and ITS FRIDAY!!!!!!! I try to control myself and only get on scales 2 or 3 times a week. I would like to stop doing it at all. Someone mentioned only weight in once a month and that is what Im trying to shoot for. Weight in and messuring once a month. But those scales are very addictive!!! I hope everyone has…
