I got, as a gift, this wonderful little foamer thing, it heats and foams on one setting and then just foams for cold beverages on the other setting, I think it is a little pricy because not only does it foam from the rotating thingy at the bottom it does the heating thing and so it has an electric base, the actual foamer…

have chickens and too many eggs, this is perfect, love the serving method, thank you very much :drinker:

when I started to eat healthier I chose apples, from costco and counted 1 apple, then I got a digital scale and my 1 apple was the equal to 2 apples, so my one or two apples per day, I am a volume eater, was really a 2-4 apples, still it was healthy but my calorie count was off, not so very bad, but I started weighing…

YES IT DOES GET EASIER drink something calorie free, promise to check with yourself in one hour, tell your fat starving self that you will talk to her later, take a bath, long and bubbly, then after your next meal, when you are not starving look very hard at the list of vegetables that you like, when I really saw that I…

sure would like to hear from anyone who actually made this, just how do you get the cheese to blend through the mixture, just 2 lumps of cheese????

nutrition and forever eating are important for me, I have switched to Knutsen Lowfat, Low sodium cottage cheese, but wait, not just plain, I weigh out 200 g of berries, raspberries or blueberries and sprinkle several pkts of splenda, chill a bit, then pile on the cottage cheese, a container of 2 cups is 320 calories,…

Curves weighs and measures me once a month At home I am currently weighing myself almost hourly. I am currently just interested in how much the scale fluxuates(sp) during the day. I have a good digital scale and yet I can weigh a difference on a whole pound in one hour, and without any bathroom trips or wardrobe changes,…

ALWAYS, anything prepared, I check sodium and sugar, and basic ingredients

I actually wonder what pb2 stuff with my low sodium cottage cheese, lowfat, would be like, sorry the pickles do not interest me, too much sodium, I am having a tomato sandwich with a piece of faux cheese this weekend, my first sandwich in 3 months, I eat my lowfat lowsodium cottage cheese with berries with lots of splenda…

I am old, past cycling, but have recently started weighing myself several times a day on a digital scale that even gives tenths of pounds, my weight can fluctuate 5 pounds in the course of a day, my hormones are more stable than you little girls, you have my sympathy, it is bad enough that your tissue retains water, but…

sorry, old, not computer savy enough, tried, cannot understand how this works, went to ticker factory, made thing, unclear how to paste on to mfp and what is this about tracking on spreadsheet, would love to do this and to track inches etc, sure wish mfp would let us track other things, perhaps a premium membership, I like…

I HATE WEEKENDS TOO I so agree that preplanning is critical, for me there is an element of need to reward myself for the sacrifices of the week, you know I deserve this ..... so for me this is my plan, come friday I am going to rejoin this thread and if necessary report in hourly and really squeeze some control out of…

well, its ramadan and I do not eat breakfast usually, so with the timing I get to eat at 7:45pm and need to get to bed by 9:15pm because I have to be up at 3:30am to at least get a cup of coffee or tea in order to begin the fast again at 4:45am today is about day 8 with about 20 more to go, so far: starving hungry early…

so my whining: getting up at about 4 am to eat or not to eat, to drink perhaps, pray then go exercise, 3.2 mi walk and curves circuit training(about 2 hours) home, shower, activities of the day, magrib (sunset about 7-8 pm for the nonmuslim readers), eat my planned healthy meal, and drink liquid --at least 6 cups, 8-10…

we have been told that moderation in everything, except that which is forbidden like pork, and so for muslims in very northern or southern areas that choosing a reasonable timeframe is a good way, I am a muslim convert and not connected to any party hardy crowd, for our family it is a time of real reflection on the hunger…

I feed mine to my chickens, who have just started to lay their own eggs, true recycling, before that I also threw them away, like fat off meat, skin, bones, orange peels, I have given myself the permission not to eat as well as permission to buy and eat better food.

"trainguy" you must be french, I keep reading about all their yummy food and small waistlines and I just think they eat very few forkfuls not like my volume eating, it must be all that french speaking that keeps their lips busy :sad:

I love, love, love this site's list: http://www.eattodefeatcancer.org/ I also try not to cook, cooking makes dirty dishes, it has nothing to do with the raw food thing, but I am lazy, first eat, then sleep, then move, give yourself kisses for each bite, each dream and each step

sleep is so important, especially for women, all that hormone chemistry stuff, carbs, salt and sugar are the big 3 addictions, see if you can tweek your menus so that you can eat some higher protein things for dinner, or later snacks, cravings are worse when blood sugar deeply cycles, try to up protein in general, but…

Dr. Oz actually advises it, I certainly find that it helps, then I can be more creative at dinner, but then I plan to eat, not just log what I ate

no, after each pound I lose I do a custom goal change, I tweek the numbers until I just cross the 2.1 per week level and then add one calorie at a time until this brings me to the 2 pound per week level, this is arbitrary though, since I do not believe in starvation mode, at least not for real fatties like me, I am still…

one thing that has made this time different for me was my personal commitment to myself that this was the last diet I would be on, the vow that I would be mindful of my choices going forward, now thats not to say I have been perfect, far from it, last year I lost 75 pounds and then went to rome, egypt and for 6 months to…

you will not if you do not try, the closer you are to your target the harder it will be, keep up your water and maximize nutrition, it is summer, well here in california it is, that means tomatoes and berries, both nutritional powerhouses, try to create your easiest, tastiest, lowest calorie menu and food list, then open…

I throw the yolks away, treat yolks like the fat they are, I am an adult, I choose to eat egg whites

give yourself a kiss, the first few days and weeks are the worst, you are on a new road, I spent months eating apples, oh I loved the crunch, certainly better than the candy bars before, but I counted an apple is an apple, wrong, my costco apples were more than twice the size if the average apple on the list, now I weigh…

imho this is one craving you must address, read The End of Overeating by Kessler, a major nutrition scientist, the unhealthy triad: SALT/SUGAR/FAT while we are reprogrammed to love those things, the modern processed food industry is addicting us to greater levels of these non nutritive things, this is the rest of your…

another thing that helped me was the book The End of Overeating by Kessler, a very big real scientist, lots of science here, his conclusion: there is an insidious triad: SALT/SUGAR/FAT that we are somewhat predisposed to favor, but lately programmed to crave, think back. you eat something salty and then for some reason…

as a semi-scientist I do believe it is a matter of calories in and calories out, I do not 'believe' in the starvation thingy, having that said there are factors, like scrupulous record keeping, at one time I measured an apple as an apple until one day I weighed my costco apple and found it was more than twice the weight as…

when I fail to plan my menu it is harder to meet my nutritional goals. too much sodium, too much fat, and then I must skimp on the calories I am eating to stay with range, so I eat the same breakfast each day, packed with protein, egg whites, fiber-fiber one cereal, blueberries and almond milk, I eat the same lunch,…

also it is VERY important we learn to eat for the rest of our lives, we need to learn to make new lifestyle choices, find your good foods
