It wasn't showing mine, so I unsynced, but will re-sync and retry. Thanks.

Thank you all my spicy soul sistahs & brothers for the excellent advice. Anyone else have anything?

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!…

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…

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…

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…

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…
