  • I read that a while ago. My first thought was "500 calories a day? OF COURSE they gained the weight back!" I don't see how this is a valid study if it's not based on healthy weight loss to begin with.

  • During my last bout of PMS, I was ravenously hungry, too. Almonds are usually my go-to food for taking the edge off of hunger. But after I thought I would kill for a can of Pringles, I searched these forums for snack ideas. One that jumped out at me was PopChips. So, I've bought a couple of bags of those for when I need to…

  • I eat 1 cup of Special K with Red Berries with 1/2 cup of 1% milk for breakfast, coffee with half and half and raw sugar. Then a couple of hours later I eat Chobani greek yogurt. I was eating all of it for breakfast but found I didn't have time in the morning, so I moved the yogurt to an early morning snack at work…

  • No, I don't log the gum either. And I don't log the coffee/iced tea, although I do log what I put in my coffee. I do log the other healthy stuff like celery because it helps me feel proud of myself for choosing such a healthy option. Plus it helps me see just how many servings of fruits/veggies I'm managing to get into a…

  • Opportunity cost and logging everything I eat helps me say no! As I've told my husband, nothing is off limits to me. Sure, I can eat that muffin or 210 calorie Krispy Kreme doughnut but 1) I won't be able to eat a 2nd or 3rd and I'll REALLY want to so why torture myself, and 2) I'll probably be hungry by wasting so many…

  • This is my problem this week! I am eating 1500-1600 calories/day and I'm eating well. It's not like they're empty calories. But I am STARVING hungry and have had such a headache. I never have that ravenously hungry feeling like I have this week, which I guess should tell me something. But I had two cheat days this weekend…

  • When I first plugged in all my data into MFP, it put me on 1300 also (for 1lb loss/wk). After doing some reading on these forums and elsewhere about BMR vs TDEE, I decided to adjust my calorie intake up to 1600, and I've successfully lost a pound a week so far. It's early still but so far so good. I don't profess to…

  • Oh I found that recipe in the newspaper a few weeks ago and my 8yo daughter loves them. I use dried cherries for her but didn't think about trying fat-free condensed milk. I did add an 1/8 c. of peanut butter in the last batch and it made them super moist and tasting like a peanut butter cookie. She said they were…
