  • Try Trader Joe'S salt and pepper rice crisps. Hope you like them.
  • Kasha tlc dark chocolate coconut fruit and grain varsity at120 calories or a nonni's decadence chocolate biscotti at 100 calories work for me.
  • I logged onto MFP after regaining weight that I had taken off with Atkins after my first child was born and then South Beach after my second child was born. Both diets work, but the weight comes back on when you start eating carbs again. It became unrealistic for me to give them all up. I was getting ready to spend money…
  • I hear you. I am 43 and trying to get down to my prepregnancy weight and beyond before my eldest son turns 13.

  • I have been using mfp for 4 weeks. It really does work. Through a series of unfortunate family events, I was on an upward spiral for the past 4 years too, and the only thing that stopped it was MFP and becoming aware of what I was doing. I have total confidence that it will work for you as long as your are honest with your…
  • I swim 3 days a week for 45 minutes. Until I started following MFP, I did not lose weight. I suspect I may have been in starvation mode. However, I toned significantly (no saggy arms, and thinner through the hips and thighs) and did lose inches. Now, that I am also watching my calories and making sure that I eat during the…
