That's an interesting approach, Im not picky and familiar with electrical; I could skip everything and go directly to a switch for the motor!!

My wife is on WW, eggs and fruit are free. She makes delicious pancakes with ... Eggs, mashed banana, and cinnamon! She's been having a few eggs a day since Jan 1 and shes doing great! (weight loss)

Great discussion. A few years ago, before I had kids, I did a weight loss program here.. I stayed within my calories... but I also drank a lot of beer, I tracked it, I went way over. Beer was the only thing that I'd go way over on... I still lost lots of weight.

SwissHausfrau I agree! One thing I like about dieting is reading labels and being aware of what I am consuming. Our bodies, gut, and mind will be happier with more natural ingredients and less preservatives and other chemicals. Things like Doritos Cool Ranch (my weakness), ketchup, chocolate bars etc are yummy and a well…

The sugar addiction/cravings get better after a week, and even better after 2 weeks... then they are subtle. . I still treat my self after every dinner with a small treat, and have you tried dark chocolate? It's very satisfying for the few squares you eat. You are right it's easier to quit smoking vs quit sugar/happy…

I generally eat 2 fruit a day that I don't count. And I like to yo-yo, I love food and I love eating! I'll lose the weight and then eat normal for a while and then lose it again and I'm okay with that! I like pizza and chocolate and chips :) But yes 1200 yesterday was low, the previous day my wife and I ate like pigs so I…

I do not eat them back... sometime I'll use a few of them for a treat.

Do not lose your motivation

Hand's down. It's the best thin bread my wife and I have found (better than Weight Watchers, Dempsters and other thin breads. Look at my diary and you will see I eat it everyday, toasted and non-toasted!

That is me!!! My legs would cramp up and I would be out of breath after 5 minutes. All I wanted to do was run. I would literally dream about running. I got a trainer and she just said "if you can run then don't" she was terrible. I bought a used treadmill. Got a MP3 player and loaded my favourite songs. It took about 3…

These delicious things. Luckily they aren't very popular/around.

I sit at a desk all day and don't do much at home, but I do exercise 3 times a week for 30 minutes. I eat way less than what is "recommended". Currently I take 1450 - 1550 calories per day and do not eat calories I earn by exercise. (I also limit my carbs to no more than 170g per day) After a couple months I have to up my…

Nuts are evil calorie/point hogs. Using MFP shed light on how a simple palm of nuts equals soooo many calories. I'd thought a cup and a half of nuts or peanuts wasn't that bad. Now I know. Evil.

My wife and I eat one almost everyday after dinner (see my diary)! Very satisfying for the amount of cals/carbs it is!! Sold at most grocery stores and drug stores. About $4 for 6 bars. 'Slim-Fast: Peanut Butter Crunch Time' 100 cals 16 carbs 4 fat 1 protein

I hit a month long plateau after about 25lbs. I added an additional 200 more calories per week and I started losing again. Like you, I ran a few times a week and ate about 1500 cals, then upped to 1700 after a couple months.
-
I eat 1400-1700 cals per day; and I eat 130g-170g of carb per day. It has worked for me in the past and it is working again now!
-
LoL - I got married and gained it all back! So starting over!!!!
-
It's possible! Two months might be hard though. Here's my proof it can be done in 3 months! Give it %100 and you can do it! In 2013 I lost 30 pounds in 3 months using MyFitnessPal. I didn't break my back doing it, and I still had thin crust pizza and beer weekly! - Jogged/Ran for 20 minutes, 3-4 times a week - Did light…

I have to diet and exercise to move the scale, diet alone is toooooo slow for me. Mind you I sit at a desk all day long for work.

Welcome to MFP! My wife uses WW P+ and she wishes she could do MFP. One thing you will love is the database and using your phone to scan barcodes, easily add almost any food into your diary! I match what my wife eats, but I lose out because I cannot bank exercise and I cannot use weekly points so when I do "cheat" it looks…

I'm on a low carb diet (120g per day) so I find that an apple and banana chew up too many carbs (no room for fun); but we need fruit for nutrients and vitamins. So I stopped counting (1) fruit a day whether it be an apple or banana. I then count any other fruits I eat. I'm still losing weight! So I encourage (1) free fruit…

Me too! Please feel free to add me as well! Support, encourage and share some ideas! Goal is to lose 25lbs over the next few months (lose it again)....
-
Way to go! So many people give up or choose not to "do it". You did it!! Not an easy task!! But it's kinda fun to lose it all, eh?
-
Me too! Looking for a few friends to keep the feed interesting and motivation! I share my diary! So feel free to add me! 33/Male - Goal to lose 30lbs (Again) - Diet and exercise.

If you are doing intense spin classes you may want more calories on that day. I consume about 1400 cals per day, I do 20 min jogs 3 times a week and I lose the weight but after a month and a half I was running 5 times a week and I hit a 2-3 week wall where I wasn't losing weight, I upped intake to 1500-1600 cals and…

Maybe you would have more success on weight watchers (points system), my fiancee switched to that and it is working wonders for her... MFP works for me.

I just broke a 4 week plateau. It SUCKS. Scale didn't budge. MFP says for me to eat at least 1600 cals a day but I was eating 1100 - 1200.... After reading so many articles I gave in ... I ate more calories (1600 & 1800 on days I work out), I kept working out, gained a pound within 2 days... I kept at it then a week later…
-
I JUST got over a plateau and want to help anyone because it was killing me... I was still running/exercising and eating well. But only eating 1100 - 1300 cals per day (31 Male stuck at 209 lbs after losing 20 lbs) I said screw it... I'll keep working out but add 5 more minutes on the tread mill and I started eating way…

Slim Fast makes snack bars... one is called "Peanut butter Crunch Time" ; 100 cals... VERY TASTY and only found in the health section. Hidden Gem. Taste like a butter finger or crispy crunch... very satisfying.
-
The Cals in / Cals out thing .... I always wondered... "ok, instead of burning 200-300 calories running on a tredmill for half an hour... how about I just don't eat this apple and granola bar today. Simple! Not that simple :(
