Homemade chicken ramen (fresh noodles, not the dry packet stuff) topped with soy sauce egg, shredded chicken breast, mushrooms, and green onions. Yum!

I LOVED FlexPoints. I lost a lot of weight. Then it went to Winning Points or something and things fell apart for me. MFP is so much better. I just need to be more consistent about logging, and that is on me.

Lower Calorie Alfredo Sauce - Serves 4 @177 cals per serving 1 tablespoon Kerrygold butter 1/3 cup Heavy Whipping Cream 2/3 cup 2% Milk 1 teaspoon cornstarch Pinch fresh grated nutmeg 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste In a small sauce pan over medium heat melt the butter.…

I would trust th recipe builder before I trusted a result someone else entered. I have found a lot of errors, or just plain screwy, results in the database. Good luck!

I have had to seriously limit my alcohol intake because when I drink I snack. And, I underreport those snacks and I gain weight. Nasty cycle for me. I think if you can have a drink and stay in your calories you are fine. I know that after a second drink I will start to make bad food choices, so I limit myself to two on the…

You could enter this as a recipe and see what result you get. That way you can see for sure what is correct. I know that is a PITA, but better safe than sorry.

A quick update - I made these again this week, but this time divided the batter into a muffin pan (I used 9 of the cups) and they baked to gooey perfection in about 6.5 minutes. This was PERFECT for me since they were portioned out and I could freeze some for later snacking. So good with a little scoop of salted caramel…

**Gets popcorn ready**

The woman who does my nails looked at me last time I was in and said, "Ok, how much have you lost? Your face is getting thinner!" I lit up inside. :D

We go to a place that serves REAL Chinese food, not Western Chinese food, so the food is very different from what most people expect. I prefer it, as the flavors are better and there is not as much battered and deep fried food. What do I usually get? Steamed dumplings with chicken or shrimp and vegetables. Those are…

She seems like the kind of gal that will never be satisfied unless she is getting constant attention. Like she is getting from these threads. She LOVES the people who are supporting, and REALLY LOVES the haters because then she can play the victim! Fun.

So, OP is upset that people on the internet are mean to her?

So glad you were able to navigate the situation! Good on you!! :D

1. All my favorite shirts for work make me look boxy because they are too big. Time to go shopping. 2. Friend at dance class said, "Are you getting smaller?" 3. Recent trip on an air plane found the seat comfortable, not a tight squeeze. 4. Had to buy new bras 5. I was able, for the first time in 5 years, to buy clothes in…

OP is AWESOME!!

Ok, I made them and they came out NOTHING like the photos. They were chewy, in a rubbery way, and not sweet. I followed the recipe exactly as written except I omitted nuts and subbed chocolate chips. Complete waste of ingredients. I can't recommend.

I entered the ingredients, subbing 2% milk for skim and 2 tablespoons of extra dark chips for nuts. Worked out to 87 cals per brownie. Trying them tonight. I will report back with my results.

It is just one day ... if you take it one day at a time it is a lot easier. It has been for me. Are all my days perfect? Hell no! But, I always get back on the wagon the next day. What is done is done, and I refuse to let one day of caloric excess wreck my progress. Also, I do have one F-it day per month. It is a day where…

My go-to snack is usually popcorn, but I also like tortilla chips with salsa bean dip (1 tablespoons hot salsa mixed into 1/4 cup vegetarian refried beans), hummus and carrots, low-fat string cheese sticks with 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce, and hard boiled eggs with sriracha. ETA - I keep all these in a lunch bag in my…

My strategy for days like this: 1. Get a work out in so I have a little wiggle room. Take a walk at lunch, work out in the morning. Move. 2. Plan a filling breakfast (under 300 cals) and lunch (under 400 cals) with lean protein and fiber, and lots of veggies. (I eat 1740 per day, so your breakdown may vary) 3. Eat a snack…

F - They taste like cardboard cat turds, they are not terribly filling, and they are loaded with sodium. Nothing about that is good, IMHO.

I started MFP at 1350 and stalled after two months. Switched to TDEE-20% and now eat about 1850 per day. Losing weight like a champ now! Also, feel better, more energy, and less grumpy. Do it. You will not regret it! ETA - I lose about 3.5 to 4 pounds per month. I am set up to lose about 1 pound per week, and I do once I…

I have the Fitbit and I love it! It tells me exactly what I want to know -how active I am. Some folks may like the 500 data points (or whatever) that the armband tracks, but I just wanted a simple way to track my activity level. I think the calories burned is fairly accurate, but I never eat back all my Fitbit adjusted…

I just read what it is ... kind of sounds gross. Not sure I could swish oil in my mouth for 15 minutes.

I have been on TDEE -20% for almost 2 months and I am down (as of 2 weeks ago) 6.5 pounds I have lost an inch each off my neck, chest, and waist. I am down 1/2-inch on my hips. I can't recommend it enough! I started MFP eating 1340 a day. I lost at first, then like others I stalled. I got a metabolic test done and showed I…

Awesome! :) It is a GREAT feeling! The first person to say something to me was the woman who does my nails. Now every time I go to see her she asks how much more I have lost. :D Keep up the good work!

fruitloop2 - Congrats on your loss, too! :) So happy for you!

Thanks! I doing a happy dance in my new jeans! :D
