When I cook @ home I use the recipe builder and then I have to approximate the serving size. I am sure its not exact but its close. Good luck!

La Croix!!! I switched and now Diet Coke seems so sweet to me. I love the bubbles and would drink a whole box of La Croix a day so I alternate between finishing my water bottle and a can of La Croix. The only other thing I drink is coffee (okay lots of coffee!) in the mornings and in the summer I really like an ice coffee…

Processed foods tastes so salty to me now. I always have loved salt and still do but i guess not in the amounts I used too. I had a half of chick fil a sandwich yesterday and it was so salty I threw the rest away.

Love your method - very funny.

I agree with so many on here. WW didnt teach me anything - I have lost and gained more then I care to admit on WW. MFP is common sense and I feel like I am really learning how to eat better. Also, I feel so much less restricted. I think I can be on MFP forever but by this point in WW I had enough. I hated not losing bc I…

Needless to say- If its needless then dont say it!! When people say they will call you back at their convenience- so rude - means i will call you back when i feel like it.

*** I went on a "carrot diet" it was actually weight watchers long ago and carrots were a free food. I ate at least a pound a carrots a day and my skin turned orange. It was so ugly and strange.

I love Curves. I feel so comfortable there and everyone is so nice. I have been going for 6 months. I still want a treadmill though.

I am close to 30 gone and I needed something to wear. It also is getting hot here so my I need some more summery work out clothes. My skirts are all elastic waist ( a fat girls best friend!) so they are fine. I went to Target over the weekend and bought a few things - the best purchase was a new bra. I feel so much better.

Totally love this!!

You were one of the huge successes I saw and made me feel like this was the right place for me! I continue to be amazed by you! Thank you for sharing and happy year anniversary!

I have cases in my house - I am the cookie mom this year. I have been pretty good but i have indulged. Just remember you can buy cookies to support our troops. None of the guilt or calories.

I love hard boiled eggs. I make 10 on Sunday night and throw 2 in my bag every morning. The protein keeps me full until lunch.

MFP does work. I have been here every day for 90 days and have made huge lifestyle change. Some days are better then other but its a journey and I refuse to go through life without good food. Welcome and feel free to add me.

I used it for the first two weeks of MFP . I loved the energy it gave me and it helped me make a major cut in calories. My doctor would not prescribe more and I really didnt need it. I do get the B12 shots. I lose weight very slowly and i am not sure what kind of difference the shots make. I have very low energy and l like…

I eat the same for breakfast everyday. Its easy and I dont think well in the mornings but everything else is up in the air. I dont even know what i am having for dinner. I eat 2 hard boiled eggs and coffee every morning and have an apple mid morning.

One of my goals is to be able to take off my wedding ring. Then my husband better be careful :). I really dont want to cut it off and its starting to fit better but i have a ways to go. I have even taken pics of my fingers to see the progress.

I use melatonin and self hypnosis (apps I downloaded on my phone) My kids doctor recommend melatonin for my kids so its safe. My problem is winding down though. I was told there is a time release melatonin which should help you stay asleep.

protein does it for me - hard boiled eggs, nuts.

Thats me with a scale. I weigh at a doctors office once a week. I broke my own rule and weighed when I exercised today. Bad move. It put me in a bad mood all day.

I use beach towels now as my bath towels. I cant wait to get back to a normal size. This is such a funny post. I can relate to a lot of these, I have to laugh bc otherwise i would cry.

Yep!!!

We are having a three course fondue feast - cheese, court bouillon and chocolate. Back on track tomorrow morning but yum for tonight,

That's how I gave up my 6-10 diet coke a day habit. I still drink coffee (black) so I have caffeine in the morning but I love La Croix for the change of pace from water. I drink about 3 cans of La Croix a day. If you want to give up caffeine all the way, the best way to do it is gradually. You wait until you have the dull…

Awww- I have had moments like that. It makes me teary. I am working really hard to be the way my amazing daughter sees me. For me it was a ton of reasons- health, self loathing , scale kept going higher and higher..

Great moment!

I always save enough calories for a spoon of peanut butter and an apple at the end of the day. Yum.

I read that and automatically sucked in my gut! I will try to be conscious of it when I walk. Thats a great idea. I try to sneak in fitness whenever I can!

My now 11 yo used to do that! So gross. He's outgrown it now. :)

Great motivation. You can use the cash to buy new clothes!
