  • Ask for advice on something very specific and then read all of the replies that don't address your specific question. Made me a little mean.....might help you also.

  • Thanks Len, not sure what Chili-O is but I'm gonna look for it! I always forget about scrambled eggs with hot sauce, but I love them. I'm making a list. Anyone else have ideas?

  • 2knowme, that's kind of what I ate 3 days a week before I started gaining it back. By the time I started gaining, I was very sick of that meal, and also it tastes icky when my sinuses act up. (Hence, the spicy part.) Thanks anyway. Anyone else?

  • I hear ya'! I live in Oregon and I love our microbrews a lot (which are way higher in calories and carbs than other beers.) I tried switching to "a glass of red wine in the evening" but that glass is usually at least 2 and sometimes 3-4. I'm going to have to cut back all the alcohols. Maybe have wine on weekends and beer…

  • Grind brown rice in a blender or food processer until it is a fine powder. Cook in the rice cooker or steamer with twice as much water as you would for rice *or* cook on stove top as you would usual rice but with twice as much water as the recipe calls for. I also, have given up most rice due to carb/calorie counts, but I…

  • Do you have a computer at work? I have the SmartPhone app, but mostly use it at restaurants and dinner parties. At work, I log everything on a sticky note that I stick to my monitor. Then, after I clock out for the day, I quick log everything in the computer at work. That way, I know what's left in my allowance for evening…

  • I don't know about the UK, but I just don't eat cereal. If I want a carb type snack or breakfast, I usually combine it with a protein: High fiber bread with tuna or egg salad or peanut butter Pretzel thins with hummus or peanut butter or Laughing Cow cheese Occasionally I will eat popcorn but it is very rare. If I really…

  • I also have not given up anything completely. Limited: Pizza: Down to once or twice a month, thin crust only, smaller portions. White bread: Don't buy it at all but will eat a good french bread at special occasions. Fast Food: Down to once every month or two - better than skipping breakfast, and I *love* jalapeno poppers!…
    in Which food(s) have you given up completely? Comment by Crissthetealcat August 2012
  • I'm another defector from Spark People. I found that many of the foods I ate were not in their database, and that when I did a Google search for nutritional data, 99% of the time it was on MFP that I found it. When I saw that MFP also had a mobile app, I switched and never went back. I still get the articles from SP…

  • Thank you SO Much!!!! This is very helpful.

  • When I first started I did not try to change my eating except to limit fast food and boxed meals from 15 a week to about 5. All I tried to do was track foods, eat more veggies and get active. After I tracked foods for a few weeks, I began to see which foods predominately put me over, so I started to limit those foods one…
    in Starting Over and desperate to save my life from Obesity Comment by Crissthetealcat July 2012
  • I'm 5'2. First goal is 130 and then see from there how I look and feel. Last time I felt my healthiest was age 23 at 126 lbs and size 5. Start weight was 200 and I'm now at 165ish, so I'd say I'm halfway to my first goal.

  • I cook it on the George Foreman with a little olive oil, or roast it, or put it into or under pasta sauce. I like it with sliced mushrooms in pasta sauce.

  • How many lbs did you tell it you wanted to lose per week? I started with 1 lb and adjusted to 1/2 lb which made my number much easier to meet (1420.) The last few days (after doing this for 6 months) I am able to now meet a number such as 1300 without being hungry. Make slow changes that will be habits for a lifetime and…
    in Does 1300 calories a day sound right? Comment by Crissthetealcat July 2012
  • Leaner proteins. For instance, I just recently traded up my Jennie O Turkey Burgers for the Jennie O Extra Lean Turkey Burgers. I'm at 1420, and as long as I walk 50 minutes a day, I can get an extra 210 cals on top of that. I can easily do it without getting hungry as long as I am getting over 50 (preferably 70) Grams of…
