The best thing to do is to call the store and ask to speak to the manager. If they don't provide nutritionals, ask them to. Write letters, be pesky. lol Also, I would check calorieking.com. You can also buy their books which are pocket size. I carry one in my purse so I always have it with me. Even if the restaurant isn't…

I'd say eat at least half of them back. It doesn't have to be junk food either. You can eat a lot of healthy food for 850 calories. Enjoy, you worked hard! :drinker:

Hey! Another Kansas lady here!!! Would love to join you on your journey. We need all the friends we can get! :flowerforyou:

When I just got to have a soda, I go for Coke Zero! Cannot stand Pepsi Max. blecchhh! I drink one to two Coke Zeroes per week. (no more than 2!) The rest of the time, it's water, tea, the occassional coffee, maybe a diet lemonade. Mostly water though. :wink:

I find it to be pretty accurate if I stick to my daily calories. I make a little note in the notes section at the bottom and type what it said. Then, I can go back 5 weeks previously and compare. Most of the time it was fairly accurate. :flowerforyou:

Oh wait. He is flirting and calling other women?????? DO NOT do what I did and put up with that crap for 14 years! You and your kids deserve to be treated better than this. Stand tall. Call legal aid (every county has one) and talk to them. It was a rough road for me, but I made it. I had 4 children with my ex husband…

:flowerforyou: Sorry you guys are having a rough time. Since his pay has dramtically declined, you may qualify for help with daycare so you can look for a job or even go back to school which they can also help with. Contact your local SRS and see what you can do. In the meantime, he is obviously frustrated about his hours…

Not funny. I am incredibly insulted! I am always and forever a Danny girl and NEVER thought he was ugly. There are plenty of Danny girls out there...and besides, have you seen him lately??? Google his image and you will be freaking surprised!!! They are ALL incredibly sexy 40ish men now. He is one of the nicest, sweetest…

Yes, I agree with the numbers the others provided. Add fiber to your tracking is the first step. Of course you can get it in fruits and veggies, but the Kelloggs Fiber Plus and Fiber One bars add 9 grams of fiber at a time! Also, they are sooooooo good! You can get fiber from nuts as well. Just be aware, that when you…

"Bumpity bump bump!"

So sorry you are having to live with this pain. I agree with dragomom. Get in the water. Swimming, water aerobics, anything like that. That can take the pressure off and be very therapeutic for you. Look into classes at a pool near you. Almost all towns/cities have them. Best wishes to you! :flowerforyou:

How about some more animated movie lines???? Beast: "Well, YOU shouldn't have been in the west wing!" Belle: "Well, YOU should learn to control your temper!" Sebastian: "Teenagers, you give them an inch..they swim all over you." Buzz: "To inifinity and beyond!" Give us some more! :tongue:

Excellent!! One of my favorite scenes from HP!

I have sooo many favorites...most have been listed on here already..but what about.. I...HAVE HAD...ENOUGH OF...YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~~Captain Kirk, Star Trek III The Search for Spock or this.... "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." ~~Harry Potter (which he learned from Fred and George Weasley who somehow learned…

bump :smile:

I also am at a desk all day. I have started walking during lunch breaks (after I eat) and every hour or so, I get up and stretttcchhh! When you go to the restroom, choose one far away from you if you can. Do small shoulder and head rolls periodically as well. If you have an office where no one can see you try doing a fast…

:smile: :smile: :smile: Of course it is! Take it from someone who has even more weight than you to lose. That is how I have done it so far. You may want to incorporate some different moves in your walking however. Try the Leslie Sansone walk at home dvds. You can get them on Netflix (not instant) or see some on youtube.…

Those are my favorites! Luckily, Kelloggs makes a bar that tastes just like them and is much much better for you. They are called caramel coconut fudge and they have 130 calories with 9 grams of fiber! I love love them. :smile: But for now, stick the cookies in the freezer and be strong enough to only have two at a time…

*BUMP* :)

Well, my name is Kaprelle and my middle name is Blu. My mom has called me kappyblu for as long as I can remember. So I use it quite often. Btw, she also called me Pretzel because of a little boy in our neighborhood that had trouble pronouncing my name, and called me Pretzel. I like Kappyblu better. :smile: Other family…

What's ironic is, my oldest daughter (she's 7) is a social butterfly. She's a lot like her dad (my ex-husband). She always wants to invite people over to our house. I always find some excuse to avoid this. I can't keep avoiding this forever. I don't want to confine her, but find it so difficult to have anyone other than…

bumpity bump! :tongue:

I'm in just about the same position as you. I started MFP last year (Aug. 10) and it has certainly been a bumpy ride. Please feel free to add me. Best wishes hon. :flowerforyou:

Try not to stress about this. It all depends on the time of day you weighed, what you were wearing, had you already eaten/drank that day yet? It is always best to weigh on the same scale, in the same spot, at the same time, on the same day. I find it best to weigh on Saturday morning, nude, before eating or drinking and…

The best suggestion I have is to drink even more water. Your body may be holding onto the water because it feels it doesn't have enough. Drink an extra liter and see what happens. Also, a magnesium supplement taken daily can help with water retention. It worked for me. Hang in there! :smile:

*bump* Thanks for sharing!

Try the sugar-free flavors if you can find them in a flavor you like and use measuring spoons to measure it into your coffee. Try to stick to just two tbsp per cup. I love the creamers, too. The La Creme ones are sooooo sinful. Good luck!

It's probably because MFP gave you calories to burn that come from daily activity and then subtracted the amount of calories that would help you to lose the weight you want per week. Check your settings and goals. Look at the calorie breakdown. That may help. :smile:

Welcome back!!! I understand the struggle. I have been struggling as of late, myself. Best wishes to you and hang in there!!

Oh honey. :flowerforyou: Do not let yourself think that he left because of your weight. You are a beautiful lady and have an adorable son. He was just not mature enough to be the father your baby needs. 5 years ago, my husband left me when I was pregnant with our fourth child. I was a miserable wreck. Slowly, however, I…
