I used babyfit.com as a resource. You may find the additional support and advice from the community nice if anything.

I just enjoy them sometimes and it has less fat and calories. It is my opinion. You do not have to use them. I just find them convenient sometimes. I like The new V8 or Special K ones but don't need it all the time.

I guess I was just saying for myself it is a better option.

It is better than not eating or picking up fast food. You have room for some snacks too with them.

I've tried them and found them too harsh for me. Even the daily one was stronger than I wanted.

I downloaded an app called Points Plus Diary which was $2 on my android phone. It has a database and allows me to scan or manually calculate points. I could also do the old method but prefer the PP. I admit I do go back and forth with WW and MFP program. No matter which program i follow I get comments that I look like I…

I have done this workout before and one time I did track the calories burn with a calorie counter device. There is not a lot of movement so the calories did not calculate high. Although not perfect based on the estimate I would say though that tracking it under strength training in cardio will give you a close calorie burn…

I completed the first day today. I also did Zumba today. I am just going to add NROL to the current routine I have right now. I am afraid to abandon some of my current program since it has working but it is nice to have some instructions for weight training since I sometimes am not sure what to do. The routine looked short…

I do. I usually eat the Fiber One brownies. Sometimes I eat a few Chips Ahoy or a couple of Kisses. It is not to hard to fit something like that into my daily budget and it keeps me from feeling deprived.

I read a few of those blogs after reading another thread on this subject. They tend to focus on healthy habits like nutrition and exercise without the goal being weight loss. I don't see that as a bad thing. Also, loving yourself now is important because weight loss may take a long time. I have issues with weight so it is…

My husband is in the US now. He originally was raised in Portugal.

I just taste it. I take a few small bites and put it away. I usually do not need much more than that. I track it and move on. I don't need to eat the whole serving or finish my 4 year old daughter's snack.

What a transformation!

I am losing fine while drinking them. I usually have one for breakfast and one after a workout. Often, I mix it with a banana, low fat milk and ice. I find that I am fuller when I have them so that helps with weight loss.

It depends on the protein shake. In my opinion, some taste good with just water and others have to be mixed with a few ingredients to enhance the flavor. Usually find that almond milk gives the protein powder a nice flavor but I also like bananas in them. Sometimes I throw in some peanut butter for breakfast or post…

I like EAS Myoplex the best. It is 100% whey protein. The product said improved flavor. I have only tried the Vanilla but mixing it with almond milk was really good. It has a stronger flavor than some other powders which is what I was looking for. They do have other flavors like Cookies N' Cream too but I have not found…

I like the salad dressings. I can have a big salad for hardly any calories! Most of the ingredients are seasonings and vinegar. It does also have Splenda but I don't exclude that in my diet.

I have done WW in the past. I am having better results with this site. I only did it online so I can't speak of the meetings but for tracking this works just as well. I did not like that the plan changes every year or two. I would get comfortable with one method and then the company would endorse a whole new plan. I eat a…

I have been snacking a lot on fruits and veggies throughout the day. It sounds pretty basic but even when I feel like I am constantly eating the calories goes up so slowly. I try to keep other meals and snacks low calorie too. The scale seems to be moving in the right direction by doing this. :)

I would like to know this too. I had stomach issues yesterday and over a week ago I also had problems. I did go over my calories for the day because later on I was feeling better and hungry. I probably got the food out of my system faster anyway. I read somewhere that it could eliminate as much as 500 or 600 but it is hard…

I am having trouble staying below the maximum fat level too. Things like eggs, peanut butter and Olivio bring the level way up for me. I am glad it won't hurt me. It seems better than the fat I would get from BK. I have been losing the recommended pound a week. I am also starting to feel a noticeable difference in my pants.

I did that plan for a little bit before starting this one for free. However, weight watchers would give no points for eating 2 bananas but 5 points for eating 3 chip ahoy cookies. That is the way the program keeps the calories down. I do know what you are saying though. I am getting less fruit and veggies now. If you were…

I am 40. Just had a baby two months ago.

Yes I hate wasting calories if it don.t taste good. I have gotten fussy with fruit. If it is hard or not very sweet it is a letdown and I think about if I want to spend the calories on it. In the past I would have eaten it because it was fruit.

I am 40 with two kids under 5. I started a bit late. Feel free to add me.

Thanks for posting this. I just made an Italian version of the tofu added ones but I cooked the noodles in a wok. I added a bunch of seasoning, sauce and Romano cheese to it. I think it is a great alternative. It is not the exact thing but for 40 calories a bag I could definitely use it more often.

You can track calories at Babyfit. That website is designed to help pregnant women gain in a slow and safe way. Generally, you need to eat an extra 300 calories a day. To be honest I am not sure is that is over maintenance or the calorie deficit that your body is used to. I did this for my first pregnancy but really did…

I usually only eat some of the exercise calories because some of the exercise I do like Zumba, Spinning and Kickbosing have really high calorie burn numbers according to the tracker. First, I am not sure of the accuracy of the calories. Also, if I have a day where I go a little over because I could not exercise or I ate…
