Not immediately recognizing myself in a photo, LOL!!!

I agree with tuna pouches, if you eat fish. Also, trail mix, protein/granola bars (Pinterest has some great recipes if you want to make your own ahead of time), salmon jerky, moon cheese. I know you said "no cook" but if you will be able to heat water (there are some great super-light backpacking "stoves" out there), you…

OP, you mentioned that you have trouble not over-eating specifically at home after drinking. I like to keep those 100-calorie mini bags of popcorn handy. It takes a while to eat so I'm less likely to be raiding the fridge/pantry for one snack after another, and it makes me feel like I ate more than I actually did.

I use half & half, or heavy cream- a tiny bit of heavy cream goes a long way and as someone else mentioned, low-fat/fat-free dairy tends to have more sugar. If you're looking to replace sugar itself as a sweetener, Stevia is a popular alternative since it's plant-based. Personally I hate the bitter aftertaste of Stevia so…

I'm doing keto and have maybe 1 oz of cheese per day (in a salad, or on top of meat or veggies, or a slice as a snack with a slice of deli meat), and I use bacon sparingly in my cooking. Here are some lighter things that I make: * Tuna salad * Egg salad * Salad with all sorts of veggies, diced deli meat, and a sliced…

I think the most difficult thing about losing weight is the patience it requires. If you can accept that there will be gains, and stalls, and days you don't make great choices...the whole process will be easier and less stressful. It's okay to feel frustrated of course, but try not to feel defeated, and don't beat yourself…

It might help to think of anything you're missing out on, or not enjoying fully, that losing weight and/or getting fit would help with. For example, I love hiking but rarely do it anymore because I'm so out of shape and have so much extra weight on me. It's hard to get truly motivated about just hitting a number or a pant…

I think any white fish would work :) Swai is cheap but I'd love to try it with halibut or tilapia sometime.

I make crustless quiche a lot. The base I do is 5 eggs, 1 cup of whole milk (or 1/2 cup any milk + 1/2 cup half and half), whisked together with salt and pepper. I put that in a glass pie plate greased with Pam spray. Then I add whatever toppings I feel like that day. My favorites are: Bacon & swiss, and Ham & swiss &…

It's been way too long since I've been on here. I had lost 30 lbs, was eating healthy and going to the gym, and then totally went off the rails from late September through, well, the beginning of this month, and gained it alllll back. I could list all the reasons why but the thing is, regardless of what's going on in my…

Me: 3 B: 0 DBF: 3 Thanks guys! Hope everyone has a happy weekend!

Not sure exactly when I last binged but I'm re-starting the count today because I've been MIA for months. I've missed you guys! And congrats @brittdee88 - I see you've been kicking butt! Me: 1 B: 0 DBF: 1

It's hard for me to be active on MFP lately because my workplace moved my desk and my screen is now visible to the world. But I wanted to hop on this group today (and try to get back to being here daily) because I'm seriously considering going to AA (I've been going anyway by court order...yeahhh, I got a DUI last April)…

Me: 24 Binge: 0 DBF: 24

Me: 23 Binge: 0 DBF: 23 Totally been MIA since it's very rare for me to be able to get on MFP at work anymore. Without that focus I've been totally off-track which is depressing because until the past week, eating well was the only goal of mine I was succeeding at. Haven't had a chance to catch up on all the posts but I…

I let pool league get the best of me and I had 3 drinks. I guess that's better than the 4-5 I would usually have on a pool league night though, seeing as we're at a bar for 4+ hours. But why is this so hard??? The longest I've gone this month is only 2 days! I've stuck with my eating goals at least, and have been losing…

I've always been the same way. But then I think- well, I can't succeed if I give up! Following the group might be a great start though! There are a few challenges and groups I checked out several times before I decided to join. Some I decided just weren't for me, others I've given a shot. In any case, I'm sure everyone…

Me: 11 Binge: 0 DBF: 11 Congrats @brittdee88 ! You're doing incredible! I'm also really excited because for four days I had the house to myself while dealing with an extremely stressful situation. The only time I left the house or even just interacted with people was when I had to deal with lawyers because of "the…

Totally blew it last night...like, really bad. But today is a new day and I'm going to try to go the rest of the month without any alcohol, except maybe on my husband's birthday. Hearing the stories of how great everyone feels without alcohol is very motivating though. I hope I'll be experiencing that soon!

Tuesday-Thursday * Log all food and stay under goal :) * Laundry :) * Dishes :) * Tidy the house :) * Meal prep :) Goals for Friday-Sunday * Log all food and stay under goal * No Alcohol * Start putting away Christmas decorations * Clean bedroom * Clean out fridge * Gather trash for trash day * Meeting

Starting weight: 211 lbs Goal weight: 135 lbs Current weight: 200.6 lbs Total weight lost: 10.4 lbs This week's successes: Didn't binge even though I had the house to myself all week! Stayed under my calorie goals and logged everything. I also hit my weight loss goal for January (6 lbs) but I'll only really consider it a…

Monday 1/8 * Log all food and stay under goal :) * Grocery shopping for the week :) * CVS :) * Buy dog food :) * Send card :( * Meeting :) Having an extremely stressful and upsetting week. I'm trying to take it easy for the sake of my sanity so I'm putting my goals for today-Thursday all together so I can just work on them…

I've been drinking but MUCH less. Somehow I've been managing to stick to 2 glasses of wine each night, mostly because my eating has been on track and I refuse to go over my calorie allotment! It's been an insanely stressful and upsetting week though, so I'm trying to be easy on myself and just be happy that I've managed…
