Simple Truth Organic Instant Oatmeal original flavored with 1 packet of splenda. today i topped with fresh mixed berries (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, 5 pieces each all blueberry sized) i have put in each separately: apple banana honey (hated it) almonds pecans brown sugar yum yum

I think thats tons of sugar! I read Jorge Cruise's Belly Fat Cure and he states that too much sugar is bad and increases your insulin which makes more fat. Fruits are def better than candy and sweets but I've been trying to find fruits that have less sugar like blueberries and raspberries. When choosing foods, i keep an…

I could watch this alllll day!!! Go team Damon!!!

i enjoy snacks during the day but i make healthy choices like raw almonds or blackberries. i set an amount for myself, ex 20 almonds, and dont eat over that. maybe you can try that? set apart a certain number of the item so you're not overindulging. and if i wanna avoid more snacks, i drink water bc i read that a lot of…

water, flavored water, sparkling water, flavored sparkling water mmm

started at 1200 upped to 1300, then 1400, then 1800 recently and have lost what i gained during the upping :)

I came back to MFP on 1/8/13 and started at the 1200 calories a day and lost 12 lbs in 6 weeks. I think the sudden drop shocked my body but it got used to the low intake so I hit a plateau for 2 weeks. I am 5ft and started at 220lbs, now mtn bike 4x a week don't eat back exercise cals bc i am not sure how much I burned…

I can understand how the op and the others here feel as I grew up in a similar situation. I am 24 and have been out of my mothers house for 3 years. My mother is very narcissistic and put myself and my 3 sisters down constantly while we were growing up. I think I had taken the emotional abuse the worst bc I am very…

You don't have to be super competitive to LOVE strava....I love it and enjoy tracking my own progress

i enjoy simple truth instant oatmeal orginial flavor with 1 packet of splenda. i keep the packets at my desk at work so i dont have to worry about making any meals at home. while everyone else is filling up with coffee and tea, i fill up with oatmeal that has no sugar, 2g fat, and only 110 calories per packet. i have raw…

I feel the same way. Some days I will have an apple AND a banana (both organic) which is about 14g of sugar each! That is def better than what Hadabetter mentioned about sweets. I hate going over my sugar limit and love Jorge Cruise's Belly Fat Cure. There are other fruits with less sugar Blueberries cranberries…

i worry about my "kangaroo pouch" and my "muffin top" all the time! they are like the best friends that you hate and annoy you but you're still friends with O_O i'm working hard to get rid of mine and will not miss them when they're gone. i think i do a pretty good job hiding my kangaroo pouch with the clothes i wear; i…

great job! i'm proud of you! it takes lots of work and i'm glad to see you through your beginning steps like myself. i'm 5 ft tall and 208 lbs, lost 12 lbs since 1/8/13.

i'm 5ft tall and 208 lbs at my current weight, highest weight was 220 lbs and i never want to be there again though i can't tell much of a difference with 12 lbs gone so far. my ultimate goal is 110 lbs though i'd be happy with 120 lbs. i have always been chubby but decided i don't want to be FAT anymore, i want to be thin…

great thread. i started MFP again on 1/8/13 at 1200 calories and have lost 12 lbs so far though few days i felt starving! i'm 5ft, now 208 lbs, TDEE 2679, BMR 1729. The 1200 calories was working for me and some days i found it difficult to even reach 1200 bc of my food choices and i rarely ate back exercise calories. After…

i got a Nishiki Pueblo 24 instead of replacing the tires on the Roadmaster. The Nishiki has 24 x 2.10 ties on them and they look so fat compared to the 24 x 2 that were on the Roadmaster. I'm hoping this Nishiki will last me for a while bc i plan on getting a road bike next year but we'll see :) thanks for looking

Got a Nishiki Pueblo 24 this afternoon, traded in my Roadmaster. I love the Nishiki, esp the front suspension and the wide tires! the gears change smoothly and BMB did a great job!

a looove having whole wheat Sandwich Slims with hummus, spring mix/spinach combo...sometimes avocado, a slice of turkey and a slice of cheese. They are so low in calories and very light that i can usually have 1 and feel full or 2 when i'm really hungry but still feel like i didn't over eat cause they're so healthy!
