I'm going to say I'm in. I hate pinpointing specific pounds since weight can fluctuate based on different things, but ok ok, I can sure give it a shot! :)

I've read numerous times that eating right and enough all day will help divert wanting to snack at night. I still find myself wanting snacks at night too. Last night for example... I knew I was over my calories for the day (damn Starbucks pumpkin lattes!) and still gave in and had a fiber one 90 calorie brownie. So, I…

I made a good banana bread a few weeks ago that satisifies wanting the full fat version. At least for me. And I did bring to work for coworkers to share so they could see eating healthy isn't so bad, and so I wouldn't continue to snack on it at home. From Denise Austin's website: Banana Bread Ingredients 2 cups whole-grain…

CG don't get depressed! Probably is water weight fluctuation and what not. Don't let it get you too down =) Anyway, I have my goal set for 1200 - 1500 per day and I usually end up closer to 1200. Add me if you'd like

Ever try vegetarian burgers like those by morning star or boca? I'm not a huge fan of the ones that try to taste like burgers or chicken, but the ones made with beans are pretty tasty.

I also learned over the years not to let the scale dictate too much. Measuring is important also, how you feel, and generally how you feel overall...

I'm 5'8 and when I was younger I was always between 155 - 165 without doing much to try. Even when I exercise and count calories, and am at the lower weights, I never look really skinny. Have had a big chest since I was 14-15 and a bubble butt since I was a kid (used to get called bubble butt even! haha). Anyway, when I…

I have been in abusive relationships, physical and emotional, and have worked for divorce attorneys too. There is no easy way out of these things, but once your out and go through the initial get back on track phase, you'll can't believe you ever stayed in the bad relationship for so long. Things only get worse. Life is…

I was shocked yesterday when I put my elliptical trainer exercise into MFP and it pretty much doubled what my machine told me I burned.

Hi, Corrie. I'm in the same boat as you really. Lost 52 pounds and have put most of it back on also. I was going through an "I'll start this Monday" phase for a few months and think during that time I got even fatter because I kept saying oh I better eat this before I start counting again... said enough is enough the other…

Maybe do a wing nite and drinks at home every now and then with your friends some nite, that way you can control the food and ingredients (and save some $$ perhaps along the way). I love to cook too and have stumbled on some seemingly good low fat alternatives to deep fried wings and such. Also, there's a good amount of…

I have used this site off and on since 2012 and have been an off and onner as well. So, I agree with everyone saying log log log, but for me I end up giving up on that after a while. Although I did use my very own that I handwrote into a cookie monster tablet for the 6-8 months in 2013 when I lost 52 pounds (and now have…

I'm not sure how much I have to lose since I haven't been brave enough to get on the scale yet. I know it's probably about 40 pounds though, so not sure what everyone considers a lot or a little... add me tho if you'd like.

Well you should avoid eating saturated fats in excess if you don't want clogged arteries, so you don't contribute to developing a medical condition. Also should avoid transfat. Unsaturated fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated) in moderation can help reduce the risk of clogged arteries. Omega 3's are also good for you.…

Same here. Seems like a lot of good people though and a good place to come to for help to stay on track.
