Welcome! I think you will really like it here! Feel free to add me!

I don't add sugar or splenda, if I want to add something to my food I add Stevia.

Black with a touch of Almond Milk and a packet of Stevia!

I also feel that it is too low. When I eat tuna (which I love) it almost always sends me into the red and it is one meal! Even eating a piece of lean chicken tends to send me into the red. I just ignore it and move on, I would rather have the protein in the red then sugar or carbs...

I just bought the Jennie-O turkey burgers and made them for my boyfriend and I. He used to eat beef burgers like every day so I was worried he wouldn't like them. I seasoned them with pepper, onion powder, and some chili powder and served them on top of salad with mixed vegetables. He absolutely LOVED them! As long as you…

I have never intentionally tried eating every three hours in order to lose weight but when I lost weight on Weight Watchers, I was literally eating all the time, definitely every three hours and I lost 20 pounds in about 6 or 8 weeks. So I believe that it can work, depending on what it is you are eating. You obviously…

I will add you! Welcome!

Vitatops and Vitabrownies, popcorn, skinny cow ice cream, WW ice cream, Chocolate Almond Milk, Special K Chocolatey Delight cereal- I can't remember the exact calorie count on this without looking but one serving with 35 calorie almond milk is delicious!

I don't think you are shallow, this is a very valid feeling. A relationship can not only be based off of attraction. If you really like him, try going out with him for a little while and see how it feels. If you really start connecting, maybe it will wake him up to wanting to better himself to be with you. If after a while…

That is realy tough! I couldn't do it. The way I avoid junk food when I am presented with it is I make sure I eat a filling breakfast or whatever meal is before it and then I am full and can say "Oh, I am too full to eat any more". Sometimes when I go to somebody's house and they have pizza or something I will eat before I…

It sounds like you are both very serious about each other and love each other very much, If he has not proposed, it has nothing to do with you. He would not be buying a house with you if he did not feel the same way. Some people do not believe in marraige or like to take it slow when it comes to the subject. Maybe he is…

I'm 22 and need more support as well!

I usually eat fruits and veggies as snacks. You can also get snack bags of popcorn that are portioned well for a snack. If you crave something chocolate, I usually have a vitatop which is a low calorie muffin top that has vitamins and fiber. http://www.vitalicious.com/ They have a lot of different items but I enjoy the…

I was on WW points plus and the leader always said that the extra points were so that you do not feel deprived. You do not need to use them and most people do not use them every week. They make you fully aware that the extra points are treats and you shouldn't expect to lose much by over eating every week. They just don't…

I know how you feel! I always get sexy things to wear for my boyfriend and when I put them on I am like, "Oh no, I look like a sausage". But he ALWAYS finds it sexy because I pretend like I don't notice the bad spots. I think that Valentine's Day is a great goal but remember, even if you don't think you look perfect in it…

You should probably talk to your doctor about what is best for your body. Nobody here really knows your body more than you do. Every person is different. Some people need to eat more to lose weight and others won't lose anything if they eat more. When it comes to the nutrient conundrum, I have to say that there are tons of…

You can definitely find them in most underwear sections. Each store will have a different brand but they are essentially the same thing.

I have been happy with 300 every day until now... After reading this thread I think I have been slacking... I never eat them back. On days I attend spin class I burn 600 or more but that is normally only once a week...

I have surprised myself this Christmas and turned down a lot of bad food! Everyone has been giving me cookies and chocolate and I keep passing them on. I even had a small plate at christmas and did not get seconds. I treated myself to a small slice of pie but still stayed within my calorie count. Way to go!

Do you like tuna? They have seasoned tuna that is really good, I always get the lemon and pepper. Whenever I am tired of chicken, the seasoned tuna adds so much flavor to almost anything you put it on. I eat it on brown rice, with whole wheat pasta, with veggies, or even by itself. The seasoning makes it soo good.

I know I am not thin by conventional standards but my boyfriend is twice my size and well over 300 pounds. He is the nicest man I have ever met and I would never trade him. I always find him attractive but when a guy is bigger, I do worry about his health. I think most people would agree they don't want their partner to…

I also have done Weight Watchers and I lost 20 pounds on it earlier this year within a couple months. To be honest, like others said, it is the exact same thing as you find here. Literally, the site is almost exactly the same only you are using the points system instead of calories. The major thing I can tell you that I…

I love spinning class! It is very intensive but you have control over your resistance so you can do more or less at your discretion. My instructor tells us when we should turn up the resistance and how much (like one turn or half turn) but you decide how much to really turn it. I would recommend stretching before and after…

The amount of points you can eat depends on your height and weight. On the points plus system, you need the calculator to calculate the points for each food. The points are constructed by inputing the fat, carbs, fiber, and protein. The premise is that the more fiber and protein you eat, the fuller you will feel.…

My boyfriend start MFP with me recently and I could not be happier. I gained 20 pounds when I started dating him because I was happy to be with him and we were going out all the time. Now I am seriuous about losing it again and more! I definitely think I could not do it without him so I am happy you have his support!

Hi! I am also new and looking for support. I am 22 as well but I need to lose at least 60 pounds. How do you like the program so far?

I am unable to drink milk but I love Almond Milk and you can get it for only 35 calories a glass! So even if I could drink regular milk, I would choose 35 calories any day.

Hi! I am new as well but am also just starting back on diet and exercise. Its great you have so much support! I lost 20 pounds about a year ago as well. I gained it all back when I started dating somebody who liked to eat high fat items and, well, I could not resist. But now we joined together so support is everything!…

I wanted to get this game but I just got the Kinect for xbox 360 and wonder if I should wait until February... Also, I live in a third floor apartment with creaky floors, do you think playing this game would disturb neighbors too much? I would love to play it!
