As long as it's a true Hunger for food then by all means Eat food. If it's just a desire to eat out of emotions, boredom, anything besides physical hunger, then by all means ignore it. I am dealing with that same issue today, kicked booty after work yesterday (hour long workout) I woke up this morning to a growling stomach…

I know exactly where you are because I was there not too long ago. I had to determine that what I wanted was more important to me than the comfort of what had always been. I had always been the fat girl, the "cute face", and the attention became uncomfortable because now people were noticing my weight loss. I began to be…

He does not know the number, I'm not sure he cares very much. He has said a number of times that he doesn't think I need to lose any more weight, but he is supportive of my fitness goals and likes it when I eat.

Take a quick stroll to get out of the stressful situation. Pitch a hissy fit and cry, scream, yell, stomp your foot, and get all the toxic emotions out. Call someone that supports and loves you. Do something that makes you feel better than food. reading, sex, laughing, shopping, exercising Meditate

GENIUS!! I will try this tonight!

Yeah I checked out the group a bit. So much information that I'm not really wrapping my head around just yet. Lots of different topics, etc. I've increase my calories a bit again and will try eating at least BMR and see how that goes for a while. I am just tired of being so hungry all the time. UGH!

I love clothing NSV, I can always tell by my clothing the real deal.

I love Gingers, my favorite co-worker is a ginger...and like/love to see people with freckles on thier noses. Don't know why but I do.

Macronutrients, Protien, Carbs, Fat

Happy Shopping! Gap body has some nice undies...this is not an advertisement. I just bought a dozen pair from there and I love them all, lol!

^^^ this but I would have to have so much self control to not eat the entire bag.

Didn't change when I lost weight...tall, husky, football type guys

A Tbsp of Peanut butter and around 6-8 saltine crackers really fills me up and gives me energy for my workouts. Add a piece of fruit and you are rockin'!

Congrats and continue. I LOVE clothing NSV's.

Try adding a fat source also, almonds, walnuts, avocados. Keeps me satiated longer.

This^^ I was doing lots of squats, lunges, and running so much my knees were taking a beating. I got an awesome workout in the pool yesterday, it will give your joints a break.

I've had turkey bacon before years ago, no need for me to even consider it because real bacon gets the job done for me.

I don't do one exclusive of the other. I have found though when my 'diet' includes good fats I lose weight, I have more energy, and feel good overall. I eat Avocados, walnuts, peanut butter, olive oil, and chocolate everyday. All in moderation and counting calories.

Great insight from you both. I had never thought of it that way arserine, but it certainly makes sense.

Some sort of chocolate...EVERYDAY!

A variety of those for me Pre-planned luch out with co-workers I will look up the food/emnu and decide what I will eat. My leftovers from last night's dinner, I will log that in from the day before using MFP easy meal copy option, or delete it if I have a change of plans or tastes for that day. Throwing a meal together…

I don't have any childrenbut I think that kids who play sports and run are okay and my niece started soccer when she was five. You may have to make it interesting by racing him ( to the next stop sign, tree, mailbox) to keep it interesting. Maybe he can ride his bike while you run.

I sometimes try creating a recipe under my recipes and 'create' the dish I am going to eat. Can't factor in everything but it would get you close.

If you have an off day, or two, you didn't fail! The only failure is giving up. Start back on track the very next moment and make that choice a good one.

On those you can set it for however many grams you want to consume ( do research) and customize your goals with that number and MFP will help you track it. Now...because some of the foods in the database are added by individuals you may or may not be getting an accurate count of the grams you are consuming.

I don't deprive. When I was obese, and still today that is when I get on a tear and binge if I deprive and make it so I CAN'T have a thing.

I was actually sad that I no longer fit Lane Bryant bras, they are my fav place to buy bras that are beautiful and fit larger breasts sizes.

LOL my underpants and workout pants were fallling down yesterday while I was exercising. I think this is a good NSV, but I love buying new smaller clothes.

I use greek yogurt in place of sour cream because of the tartness, but I use regular mayo for my tuna salad and chicken salads. The taste will not be the same if that is what you are expecting. Your idea to substitute half with greek yogurt is a good idea to start until you have an idea of what it will taste like. Best of…

Agree with the consensus here, hate I missed an episode of EMWE last night. Such uplifting stories and real life scenarios, temptations, and struggles that we all have to deal with and go through in our lives. No 'ranch' and removal from everyday cares and concerns. Biggest Loser was so about drama this past season I was…
