Leftovers I make more dinner than the two of us can eat and freeze them or eat them the next day.

I use chocolate almond milk or chocolate syrup & regular almond milk. I make myself an iced coffee every morning and it is about 50-80 cals. To make the iced coffee part 1 1/2C coffee grounds 4C Water let sit for 12 hours strain the grounds out and you have concentrated coffee I use about 1/4 C of the coffee and 1/2…

Well I never knew about this thing and now that I have lost weight I have them. I was wondering what it was all about I used to have a full hip area. Now I know ... and knowledge is power!

I used it for a bit, but I could not do it as two meal replacements I was very hungry. I also bought a different protein powder because I don't like soy based I wanted a whey protein, and what I bought was cheaper and bigger. I would say forget it, focus on CICO and you will succeed.

Why not try the CICO eat what you like within your daily calories IT Works!

Eat what you want in your deficit and you will lose weight. Do you like smoothies? You can add fruit and veg with yogurt and chocolate milk to cover up the taste. For stir fry you could blend those with the soy and make a sauce for the vegetable and meat you do like.

Know that this is going to be a process you will not lose 10lbs in week that is not how this works 1-2lbs a week is great.

Yes every woman does wait till it is over to weigh yourself

My cat was so fat she looked like a furry meatball with tiny arms legs and face. I put her on diet cat food that was ... less calories and she lost the weight. After she had a sad pouch of skin that wiggled when she walked. I thought it was adorable. I miss her. As to OP question don't worry about sugar unless you have…

Cheese and A1 sauce

I guess it is more 4 meals but over 4 days we make side items to fill it out. I eat 1/2 good part (all meat no fat) other 1/2 goes for a lunch SO eats the outside fatty parts so two lunches two dinners for me. All the meaty fat pars for SO. You should see how we stretch a whole chicken SO loves the innards.

So if someone on food stamps buys a steak people get all up in arms and if they buy pop that is unacceptable too? So buy good nutritious food but not something that is considered fancy no steak or shrimp just bagged chicken and carrots? When I was on SNAP I would buy steaks and 2 8oz steaks would feed us for 4 days.

I was on food stamps and I had a full time job that paid *kitten*. I used all the money I made on bills. When you are poor AF it's nice to be able to buy a treat once in a while. Pop is what $4-5 for a 12pack who cares if they buy that it's does not take all the money.

So what next no juice it is just as calorific and sugary as soda

I am assuming since you are on MFP you have put your stats in and know at what caloric deficit you should eat at to lose weight. The next part is easy eat what you want within your calories and you will lose. The rate will be 1-2lbs a week. The long process is what is hard but the great thing is you don't need supplements,…

I have the same problem as @TeacupsAndToning I get a deodorant works about a month and then fails so I have to switch a lot.

@storyjorie don't we all wish there was a magic pill unfortunately we have to rely on ourselves and some times we fail :smiley: :neutral:

If he does not eat what you make he can make his own food and as another poster said you have lunch for the next day. It is not a big deal he is not on this journey you are. You are both adults.

Tomorrow is another day

I like Jen Hilman and PsycheTruth they both do a good job instructing beginners on youtube

Do not go 5 nights a week to midnight pizza and ice cream. In realty try to eat at maintenance calories you will have to estimate unless dining halls now give you calorie information.

@storyjorie No it does not

I eat gluten free and I am poor AF. I look for deals on meat (make sure the meat you buy is not fortified with broth), lots of vegetables and fruits, but with part of your colon gone it may be hard to digest those things. Have you spoken to a nutritionist about what you can and can not eat?

I have found that deep cleaning helps me out in those times. Scrubbing walls, corners of floors, reorganizing closets the bathtub whatever to keep my mind and body busy.

The key to weight loss is not starving yourself on fish and water or working out until you drop. The key to weight loss is Calories in Calories out or CICO. MFP has tools to give you an estimate on how many calories you can eat per day in a deficit and lose wight. Do not think that weight loss is a quick thing the best way…

Cheese sticks 80cal low carb.

I have been getting cross contaminated by gluten lately and I was thinking of trying this for a week or two. I don't think I could do it for 30 days I do love my sweets. I agree with above posters it is for food sensitivity not really for losing weight.

I have never used it in cooking, but I have and do use it for my skin. It is supposed to reduce stretch marks I don't know if it works but why not try. I have sensitive skin and I can only use it once a week for deep moisturizing or it clogs my pours. I also use it between my thighs when wearing dresses or skirts and it…

@janejellyroll that sounds delicious i will try it

The camp punishment was very funny
