  • I think I need to join this thread. I don't have first of the month weigh-in consistency. But I can post whatever entries I have from MFP. How are you calculating averages?
  • I find the same problem when logging certain kinds of exercises (pole dance fitness, for example) which simply aren't listed in the database. My solution has been to log an exercise I feel has similar exertion. For instance, I use the elliptical trainer at work, but it has no arm component and therefore burns fewer…
  • Mine is in between the 2 year old and the amount of cheese an average American eats in a year. What, no one lost a Welsh Pony yet? ;)
  • I'm cutting out sugar temporarily, and have been having massive cravings for it. When I do allow myself something sweet (I gave in to a 100 calorie cookie bar the other day) it isn't really satisfying, and just makes me crave more carbs.

  • Welcome! You're taking a great step towards better health--this is a wonderful, helpful site if you really use it. I've been at this for about 2 months, so I'll offer whatever tips I can :)
  • Just remember, you are strong, and you are absolutely worth the effort. Mind over matter (or over food, in this case).
  • I like cajun seasoning or lemon (or lemon pepper) on mine. I also sometimes serve it with lemon dill sauce: mix plain yogurt with lemon juice and a small amount of dried dill (or a larger amount of fresh dill), and spoon over cooked fish like tartar sauce. In this case I like to sprinkle some lemon juice and dill on the…
