  • I had to stop too for the same reason.... I hate it! Yoga and pilates are definitely helping me keep my muscle tone, but I miss pole, especially since I don't have one at home. Hopefully we'll all be able to get back soon.

  • Oh gosh. Don't feel bad; it really is overwhelming at first. I'm sure more people will be able to help you out with specific details, but let me just reassure you you'll figure it out. First of all, whatever anyone says, you have to do what works for YOU. MFP sets you up with a calorie goal based on your weight loss goals.…

  • Carrot sticks with hummus, salsa, or tabbouleh. The grocery store I go to, Publix, has waffle-cut carrots, so you can dip them like chips. Love it. Another favorite is plain, fat free Greek yogurt (6 oz= 100 cals, but I usually eat about 4 oz) with fresh berries-- strawberries are 27 cals for 1/2 cup sliced. Raspberries…

  • Middle school teacher here, trying to lose weight too! I've done the yo-yo thing for far too log, and this is one of the first things that I can be consistent with. Welcome!

  • Thanks! I will definitely open up my diary, and add more friends! As an aside, I've been taking pole fitness classes as my workout, and whoo boy, talk about killer! Tons of variety too. A ridiculous amount of core work and upper body work, and we're always learning new moves/ combos so it's never the same thing twice. I…

  • You're more than welcome to add me too! I agree with the previous poster: If you force yourself to be super disciplined about logging at first, after a few weeks you reach for your phone/computer automatically to do it. Another tip that I have found works well for me: log your food before you eat it, and then you can see…

  • Just a quick tip for anything with a creamy base: I use non-fat plain Greek yogurt as a replacement for lots of things, including sour cream or heavy cream in savory dishes, which is great for both Indian and Mexican food. It's much lower in calories and fat (130 cals/ 0 g fat vs. 290 cals/ and 40[!] g fat in 8 oz) than…
