  • normally, I don't do a full day - I do a cheat meal. However, as I am going into surgery this week and will be in the hospital for several days, I had a cheat weekend - lol I am back on track today...but I did pamper myself this weekend. Very bad.

  • I can understand cutting out the refined carbs, but so many veggies and fruits are high in carbs - like a cup of green grapes - 27 carbs. I cannot imagine cutting out the healthy carbs "just because". I keep my carbs under 200 - usually they are between 150-195 daily and I have lost 14 pounds since I joined here in mid…

  • I know when I had to go on a low residue diet to prep for surgery, that does reduce the amount of poo in one's diet. You may wish to look at what you are eating and if you are, by accident, following a low residue diet. You can be eating healthy foods on such a diet, btw. However, you shouldn't be on a low residue diet…

  • I am in the same type of office setting as you are and I also am right across from the vending machine! lol What I do is look at the tempting bit of food and think - how much exercise do I have to do today to burn that off if I eat it? And that usually decides it for me - I will walk away. I have a weakness for bagels,…

  • I am barely 5'4" and I am 47 years old. I am striving for 130 pounds. If I can get down to 120-125, that would be a bonus, but I would love to be 130 pounds again!

  • I love to add some lime in my water. I buy those squeeze bottles of lime juice (not sweetened) and add a squirt or two into my water. I drink 4 16 ounce bottles a day, but I would like to increase it. I also drink several cups of herbal tea, so I guess that counts as well

  • ^^^ this yes, he isn't on a diet, but man, the OP just started and he knows it. What is one of the reasons for so many people falling off the wagon with healthy lifestyle changes? Temptation. He knows she is trying to change her food habits and while she isn't asking him to forgo his snacks, junk food, etc - just be a BIT…

  • a tip from my nutritionist (I have one because of my upcoming surgery...) - if you really CRAVE that chocolate bar, walk for it. Don't keep it in the house. Walk to your corner drugstore or to your grocery store and buy ONE candy bar. Then walk back. It will make you think twice about eating it and if you really want it,…
    in MFP LIED.......HELP! Comment by biancardi February 2012
  • Just from viewing your diary - you do need to add more fresh fruits and veggies to your diet and cut out fast food/cookie/chocolate snacks. I have a HUGE sweet tooth myself, and I understand the need for it, but MFP didn't lie - you aren't eating enough of good calories and eating too many empty calories. I have found this…

  • I love butter, but because I need to get more of the good cholesterol and lower my bad cholesterol, I am now sworn off of it. I am using an olive oil spread, which is surprisingly good. the plastic thing - not true! 16. Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC-Fiction! We found no support for this. Perhaps…

  • I weight myself once a week and if I am feeling antsy about my poundage, twice a week. but no more than that. Daily would just discourage me.

  • I've been on MFP since 2/15 and this has been a really great tool for me to use. I need to lose weight for an upcoming surgery - I had 2 surgeries last year and the last surgery caused a huge hernia :( So, I will be going again under the knife, but my doctor would like me to lose some weight, which is fine by me. I am…

  • are you working out? You should reclaim those calories burned by exercise and eat. Try to keep at 1200 calories if you aren't exercising, but if you are exercising, you should eat those calories. I don't know if it is "wrong" for you to be at 1200 calories. Eventually, you will hit a plateau if you aren't exercising, in my…
