As a waitress at a family restaurant that did not serve alcohol there was nothing more than the annoying customers who wanted to crack jokes. They were all the same. "ill have a bud light" "goat herders special please" (a glass of milk and a bit of ewe...) " I can't find anything I want on the menu, could you stand on it?"…

Are you using turkey bacon? The pork bacon I find always has like 70 calories per slice so that would really up the calories! These do look great though! The meat dept at hyvee has the same thing stuffed with cheddar and we bbq them and they are delicious but your look even better!!

I started mfp at 163 and am around 155 in 40 days, I had lost about 11 lbs before that as well, so down 19 total, but it does seem slow. I have it set for 2lbs a week, but never lose that much, wondering about changing it to 1lb a week for awhile, but with my wedding being in May, I don't want to take any chances. I do not…

Personally I do not think you need to do it every day consecutively to be effective. I did the first level in 11 days, but level two has taken me around two weeks and I am still getting great results. I know some people do it in 30 days, but I just want to complete 30 days of it, 10 of each level, no matter how long it…

If its been two years and you are still at the same point as day 1 (FWB) then I would say that it will never be more than that. Sounds like a *kitten* who is using you for a piece when he is horny and will never view you as anything more. Move on and don't let yourself waste another 2 years on this guy. Seriously I have…

Going to have to third that. Jerk move.

My sister in law is definitely skinny fat. She has never weighed more than 105 lbs and she does not exercise and I do not think I have ever seen her drink anything but Mt. Dew and have never seen her eat anything but McDonalds and Taco bell. I am not joking! They do not come over for dinner because she does not eat regular…

I also know that state guidelines for schools tell them to weigh meat raw, so if they are required to offer a certain amount of oz for meat at school, that is the raw oz, not the cooked. And the calories would stay the same as well.

Before. If you have 4 oz of chicken before cooking it, and it is 3 oz after it is still the same amount of calories. It loses water when cooking, but the calories remain the same. I always used to weigh it cooked and couldn't figure out why I was not losing weight, and I think that had something to do with it. Especially…

I am in! Getting married on the 19th and would love to lose another 15 first!

5'7, 157lbs and wearing a size 9, some 11s still fit, but mostly 9s. Size med tops :)

My fiance and I are getting married May 19th this year! Its getting so close! I wanted to lose about 35 lbs total, and have lost 17 so far, (11 before I started MFP) and have 17 to go! Ideally I would like to lose another 22 total, but will be happy to hit 140 for the wedding! Good luck! you can do this!

Well you can't technically spot reduce, and I too have huge issues with losing weight in my waist and thighs after 4 children. Always before when I would diet or exercise the weight just would not come off there, BUT I am doing 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels and for some crazy reason, most of my inches lost have been on…

The first thing I notice is that you are over almost every day on your sodium. Sodium is going to make you retain water weight. You might try cutting it down considerably. Also do you have your goals set to sedentary on the activity level? If not you should not eat your exercise calories back. MFP is already accounting for…

Hope you have someone to help you down onto the toilet and back up off it! I have a wall by mine to hold on to ease myself down, but I know that first couple days I could barely stand and sit without help!

bass, crappie, bluegill. Of course I do not know if you can buy these but we fish a lot in the summer and they are all very fresh tasting, and have minimal "fish taste". I do not like the fishy taste either!

Okay so that may be part of my problem, I have been weighing and logging for the weight after cooking and think I am putting too few calories for what I am eating. Definitely something to change! Thanks for the help!

Well I read in another spot that the weights should refer to raw meat, because most of what is cooked out is water, and that does not lower calories in the meat itself, just reduces the water in it. I am soooo confused!

Having red hair, I seem to only get complimented on my hair. It's kind of annoying sometimes. I remember one time someone told me I had pretty eyes, and said nothing about my hair and I was just ecstatic! I always tell my friends that if my hair was blonde or brown, I would never get complimented at all!

Well with some meats it seems to weigh almost the same, I just could not believe that "Lean" pork loin weighed less than half its original weight. Wondering if I am underestimating calories by weighing things cooked and that might be why I have not had the greatest success since starting here. I just wondered how everyone…

I take one can of tuna and mix it with one cup of low fat cottage cheese and dice one tomato to add to it. You can still add boiled egg as well if you would like. This tastes great on salad or plain and lasts me two to three meals. P.s. I load it up with tons of pepper, but I love pepper!

I refuse to buy rolls of hamburger. I bought a roll of the 93/7 because it was on sale and found literally like 5 long black hairs twisted in and out of the whole roll. They had to have been 8 inches each. Someone almost had to do that on purpose... Bleh just thinking about it grosses me out!

I too love to party, and until I became serious about my health, I was drinking at the bars around 2-3 times per week and having anywhere between 10-15 beers, which was an insane amount of calories, especially with Budweiser. When I first started trying to cut back and lose some weight, I switched to Bud Select 55, which…

5'7 158lbs and wearing between a 9 and 11, some 9s are too tight, some 11s are too big, used to be a size 4, but would like to get back to a size 6 at the smallest. 4 is too small on my frame.

Thats awesome! It's always nice for someone else to notice!!

Yep really wanting to see her get the boot, my fiance and I both can not STAND her!

We have the same wedding day! I would love to get to 140 by then, but its not looking likely!

I'll give it a shot! CW-160 GW by 4/1-150

I hate water too, but have found I now crave it! I just use TONS of ice cubes and make it really really cold, and I love it that way! So refreshing!
