  • Salads are usually great at mexican restaurants. Be aware of tortilla strips, cheese, sour cream. I usually use salsa instead of dressing. Grilled fish or chicken tacos are great options. Guacamole is a great choice instead of sour cream. I have trouble staying out of the chips. And my teenage boys always want to order…

  • I've been on WW more times than I care to admit since 2005. I would lose weight, maintain, sometimes gain a little back, sometimes gain a lot back. The thing I like about MFP is that it shows calories. Often times, on WW, if I was over by a few points on the week or day, I'd think, 'to heck with it, I've blown it. Where's…

  • You can also throw some foods into your diet that are naturally high in water content. Watermelon and cucumber are a couple that come to mind. Some kinds of herbal teas are also natural diuretics. Dandelion root is one that comes to mind. Sometimes I brew that, and add a splash of natural cranberry juice in the evening.…

  • Sorry that post was so long winded. It didn't seem to be when I was thinking about it and typing it out! Not new to MFP, but new to the message boards. Looking forward to the discussions!

  • I agree with looking up the NI for your restaurant of choice before you go. Decide in advance what you'll eat and drink and stick to it. Wave away the bread basket or tortilla chips if you can't keep out of them. Lots of healthy options available, you just have to be mindful about looking for them! Remember, this is a…

  • I think this is such an interesting discussion. I feel like we're talking about more than one thing.. 1 - Loving yourself despite (or maybe because of) all of your glorious imperfections. This is saying, 'hey, I might have a problem with my [insert issue here], but I'm a pretty freaking great person. Yay me!' 2 - Physical…

    in What was your highest weight and your height? Comment by shell_mc September 2013
  • I don't consider it 'self love gone too far'. I think there are many women (myself included) that measure self worth based on what they see in the mirror. Loving yourself shouldn't be conditional on what the scale says. Ever. I think what bothers me about this 'movement' is that it justifies an unhealthy lifestyle. 'I love…

  • I always recommend that people have a few basic wardrobe staples in their current size. There's no quicker way to feeling great about yourself than to have clothes that fit you and that you feel good in! This time of year, you can probably find short sleeved tops on clearance racks at department stores. Check out stores…
