I climbed trees and played outside for hours just like my sisters and my friends but I was the fat one. I had a great uncle that would tell me in front of a crowd that I must run my sisters away from the table to get so fat. I found out years later he was a freakin pervert. Glad I was fat! There are many more but…

Good for you. When they are really old and call you because they need someone to change their diapers, call up the local nursing home and have them pick the two of them up. Sorry but it just makes me so mad that your mother didn't come to your rescue. I hope you have a wonderful life!

Different people have different goals and make different choices. A nutritionist told me a calorie is a calorie but obviously some calories are way better for you than other calories. There is no memo telling people what works best for them. Each person makes their own decision. People trying to lose 5 pounds and going on…

Like every one else, I don't have the answer. The only thing that saves me when I am on the highway is to keep some good choices of food in my truck. I also keep a few things in my hand bag. Otherwise, I would be pulling in to a fast food place or convenient store and going nuts. Good Luck

Planning ahead and entering my food in the diary before I eat it helps me stay on track, especially if I have a little splurge and need to tweak calories from something else. Good Luck - I love this site!

I feel your pain. I have been on a chocolate binge the last couple of days. So far I have stayed within my guidelines but it sure does cut into the amount of food I can eat. Tomorrow is a new and better day for you.

Ha Ha - You have come to the right place. Lots of winners here! Good Luck

I have read on other post that some folks here give themselves a cheat day now and again to keep from getting burned out. This info is coming from folks who have done this a long time and lost a lot of weight. Maybe you could try something like this to get back on track. You can search cheat day and find some of the post.…

Just my two cents. I have had much better results with MFP guidelines than doctor guidelines. I set my activity at sendentary and goal to lose 1 pound a week. MFP allows me 1480 calories a day which is very doable. I just wonder if you are getting enough calories compared to what I get. I would try setting my activity to…

I love this site. I think you will too. I have learned so much about food and calories. People post great healthy recipes and there is a lot of support here if you need it. I do enter my food before I eat it. It helps me stay on track. I am going for the steady 1 pound a week loss so I get enough daily calories that I…

I love this site! I have health problems and had done nothing but gain weight the last 5 years no matter what I did. I was considering the Lap Band Surgery and then someone told me about this site. Glad they did - it is working for me so no more thoughts of surgery. I have learned so much here about food and nutrition.…

I don't crate my babies. Never have.

I love this site and you will too! After dieting for forty years, this is the first time I actually know what I am doing. It is wonderful! Good Luck

If you go under Tools and calculate your BMR, it all makes sense then to eat back your exercise calories. The BMR shows a close estimate to how many calories your body burns just to breath, keep your heart beating etc if you did nothing but lay in bed all day.

There was a similar question a couple of weeks ago. I was interested in the answers because I have health issues and there is a limit on what I can do. Anyway, one poster stated that they lost their first 50 pounds with no exercise and others made similar statements. Once you lose more weight, you may feel more like…

You will love this site. It is amazing in so many ways. Good Luck

Thanks for posting. I love stories like yours. It keeps me going. You look like a different person! Thanks

Sounds like you have done all you can do. Most likely, your sister will only do those things when she decides she wants to. The Gastric Bypass is extreme. Wonder if she would consider the Lap Band instead? Based on what I have read, the Lap Band can be undone. It would be great if she would try MFP. I was considering the…

I had no idea what the Paleo Diet was so I googled it. The info says the Paleo Diet has been around since the 1970's. Considering I have tried every thing in the last 40 years, not sure how I missed the Paleo. It is not a diet I would be able to do because I am not a big meat eater. I like the slow and steady MFP approach…

So glad you ask. I had no idea you could do all of these things with cottage cheese. Thanks for helping the rest of us. As for me, I get the Dole Peach Fruit cups and mix half (peaches and syrup) in with a half a cup of Cottage Cheese. I do plan on trying a lot of the suggestions here because I love cottage cheese. Good to…

Ha Ha - I had a Great Aunt that was that way. It is very annoying. If you didn't do it her way, she cut you out of her will. I wasn't in the will!

If he wants something different, do the fry with olive oil and add Cream of Mushroom Low or No Fat Soup with some water and makes a good gravy. Put it right in the pan with the chops once they are fried. You can eat with some rice and string beans. Makes a great meal and not bad on calories. I guess the carbs are a little…

Congratulations! You are now officially in charge of your own destiny and it is a wonderful feeling.
-
Thank you - I could not agree more with what you are saying. I guess some people just like to be rude.

If this bothers you, why did you take the time to read it and post? No need to beat up a new user just because they haven't learned the ins and outs of MFP yet. Give them time.

If old topics being asked by new users bother you, why did you take the time to read the post and comment?

I have never been a big fruit and veggie eater but I don't have a total dislike of these things. Anyway, if you put a couple of frozen bananas in a blender and blend, it blends up like soft serve banana ice cream so you feel like you are eating ice cream. Sometimes I add a little chocolate syrup to really make it like ice…

I grew up on Grits with Red Eye Gravy! So good but I haven't eaten any like this since my mother passed away. She served it with home made biscuits, eggs, country ham, cheese and jelly. So good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha Ha - I am an old lady so I know those days r over!

I don't log it myself but some of the folks on my friends list do. I think if I were you I would log it as light to moderate so you don't over estimate how many calories burned. Just my thoughts.
