Christmas Eve I will eat light all day and then that night we go to my cousins and I will be probably consuming alot of calories in alcohol but since I don't drink often I'm going to enjoy... Christmas day shouldn't be too bad but I will be having our traditional Chinese take out... New years Eve I will eat light again all…

As other's have said I would do one of Subway's salad... the double chicken salad with whatever veggies you want and then dressing on the side so you can control how much... I think when I had this the other day with minimal dressing it ran me about 400 cal and was very filling

We have an odd tradition in our family. We always seemed to travel on Christmas day going to this person's house and that persons house when I was younger and by the time we were heading back home it was usually around 4 or 5 in the afternoon and we were all hungry with nothing waiting for us at home. Only place open on…

bumping for that recipe

it's more the type of carbs... I know for myself if I eat too many starches or any food that is very high in carbs (other than fruits and vegetables) it usually leads to cravings for more of the same and it sends my intake out of control... makes me feel hungry even if I'm not... I am trying now to find the right balance…

On Thanksgiving Day I will eat what I want but in moderation. I do plan to log just out of curiosity. I am not going to shoot myself for that day. As for the other events that surround Thanksgiving and Christmas... those I plan to also attack in moderation. I will have at least a taste of everything I want but not go…

My boobs are now bigger than my belly! Looked down today and said "omg I have boobs! Where did my stomach go!" I'm so glad the weight I have lost is going from the tummy first!

Size 22 pants that I couldn't button just a few weeks ago fit comfortably now!

For those asking what an "attack" feels like... accute attacks feel like the worst stomach ache you've ever felt... had my first two attacks when I was pregnant and the dr's just attributed it to pregnancy indigestion... they were awful... the pain was so instense I had to stand up and pace and threw up a few times... and…

I don't think subway is horrible. I enjoy a sub from there from time to time. As an every day occurrence it wouldn't work for me though. That intake of carbs is way too high for me. As a diabetic and a woman with PCOS I know for my own health and ability to lose weight I need to lower my carb intake or at least my…

I used to hate exercising... hated it... all of the years I have tried to lose weight I never added that to the mix. For the first time in my life I joined a gym this month and I found that I love it... I still hate exercising but it is a way for me to get "me" time. There are so many people that rely on me or need me for…

I log my excersize but don't often eat back those calories. If I'm eating well, meaning fruits, veggies and protein, I find myself full anyway and just do my best to eat 1200 at the minimum and I push for more than that because MFP has me with alot more allowed.
-
I agree it's not always possible to log accurately when you aren't controlling what is being offered... but there are so many things in the database that I try to find something even close to what I ate. It may not be entirely accurate but at least on those days I am getting a general idea of what I may have consumed in…

What an inspiration! Great job!

I don't agree with this at all. I try to eat 6 meals a day and I do my best to even them out (approx 200-400 cal per). Mainly because I am diabetic and this is the best way to keep my blood sugars at an even level. The "snacks" I eat for the most part are similar to my meals and not "treats". I also know that when I eat…
-
I log everything I eat as much as I can. I need to be accountable and I need to see how bad things are in black and white so I can learn to make better choices in the future. The entire thing is a learning process and even mini set backs are something to learn from, not only the sucesses.

I count water as water. I stopped drinking crystal lite because even though it is "sugar free" I noticed that it was having an affect on my blood sugars. However when I did drink it, I didn't count it because it has calories as minimal as they may be.
-
Most everyone has said alot of the things I use to munch on already... the biggest thing for me though is that I've found if I'm eating enough vegetables and protein through the day I'm not really hungry when night time hits. After dinner always used to be my witching hour where I would snack like crazy... the last two…

I agree with the poster that said it could depend on the manufacturer and how long ago you had bought your other pants. Every few years it seems to me (even with discrepancies between manufacturers for women's clothing) that the standards there are change slightly... I've been a pretty steady 22-24 the last few years but i…

congratulations!

Ok thought I was the only one that color sorted the mmies... it's like a compulsion when I eat them! :laugh: I am a carboholic... bread and butter a definite weakness... chocolate... yep... pizza... pasta... you get the idea :laugh:

Great job! You can really see the difference and I agree your smile in the last picture says it all... be happy and be proud with what you've done so far! Congratulations!

Love this analogy! :happy:

I log whatever my weight is on my normal weigh in day (Monday evenings right now). I don't log any other times I get on the scale (trying to curb my obsession with it) I just don't get upset over a small gain if it happens. I need the consistency and if I find an excuse not to log weight, food, whatever I know it will…
