If you've got calories left, go ahead and have a snack. It doesn't matter when you eat your calories. You could also just plan on having a snack and budget your calories to allow it.

I think I have to make this for Easter this year. Also thank you, I didn't even know about that group until this thread.

98,000 though that doesn't take into account the couple times I've regained a few and then lost them again

405 edit handyrunner got in right as I did. I should be 404

If you just ordered them you can probably cancel the order before they're shipped. Or if it's too late for that see if you can return them. You'd probably have to pay for the shipping back but that's better than taking a dangerous product.

I've pretty much taken February off food tracking and running. I've gained a few lbs back but it's not too bad and I'm determined to get back to the routine on Sunday

I normally only eat about half my exercise calories back to help cover any inaccuracies in my food logging or the inaccurate MFP exercise calories. If I have to run on a treadmill I'll compare the treadmill's estimated calorie burn with the MFP database and take the lower number. It's all up to you on what you want to do.…

A month ago I had to buy a new pair of suit pants for an interview because the pants I had were too big. Yesterday I went to a viewing for an old co-worker who had passed away. I had to have that pair of suit pants pinned in the back because they were loose.

I love cheesecake. I love making cheesecakes and sharing them. Kudos to you OP for regaining your resolve before actually eating any. The only thing I object to is that the slice of cheesecake was thrown away. Why not find another co worker who might want it or take it back with a note that you took it but realized it…

I'm down in central Ohio so we've had a bit milder winter than up near the lake (I'm guessing that's where you are). You've already said that you're a bit far from a gym and a good treadmill is expensive. I would suggest just walking when there's snow on the ground. It still gets you outside and depending on how deep the…

This is from a couple days ago but I wanted to share. I realized that if I were to put on my wedding dress from two years ago (because I love that dress and would love to put it on again) it would be too big. It's all preserved and boxed up and I don't remember what size it is but I know I'm smaller now than I was when I…

It's better to buy a dress that fits you now and have it taken in. As long as you at least maintain your current weight you're fine. If you're able to lose some weight then, all the better! Congratulations on your engagement and happy planning!

That is a brilliant idea! Thank you!

The best way to manage your calories in is to get a food scale. All nutrition labels have a weight (usually in grams) for what is considered a serving. Weigh all your solid foods and measure your liquids. I've found the USDA website to be very helpful. Log everything.

What if you offer to cook with her? Show her some healthy recipes you enjoy. If you pose it as a shared/bonding experience rather than taking over the kitchen maybe she'll react better. Otherwise you'll just have to control your portions. Good Luck!

I don't remember what it was but I scanned something and the MFP data was still wrong. I ended up creating a new entry

I use whichever is the lower number and only eat back about half the calories.

Happy Birthday and congratulations on staying within your goals. I pause my calorie counting for my birthday and wedding anniversary. I don't go hog wild but I enjoy myself and don't worry too much about calories

If you're sick you get whatever calories into you that you can. Try some dry toast, ginger ale, decarbonated cola. I hope you feel better

I suddenly have a job interview tomorrow morning and found that my suit pants don't fit anymore, they're too big. I had to run out and get some new suit pants. The blouses and jackets look okay (actually better) at least.

I've heard of baking it in a water bath but haven't had much luck with that. I usually will turn the oven off at the end of baking time (and when the outer 1-1.5 inches don't wiggle when you shake it) and just crack the oven door. Let it cool like that for an hour then pull it out and run a knife around the inside of the…

All of this. I'm also going to echo several other people on here. Don't worry about how fast you're going. That will come later. One other thing. Get fitted for some running shoes, especially if you're planning on running outside when the weather gets better. A good pair of shoes can help prevent injury. Go to a running…

I get craving leading up to my period but since I track when it starts and for how long I have a pretty good idea of when its going to be. I just budget my calories for those days to allow a sweet treat if needed.

This! This so much! Just give me some kind of idea of the nutrition. I get that not every chicken breast weighs the same but if you're getting them from the same supplier it's probably averaged out somehow. Also people who say you have to eat breakfast/jump start your metabolism/keep the metabolic fire stoked. Why should I…

Lose 30lbs Improve 5K time run a half marathon start lifting to gain lean muscle and lose BF

Glad I'm not the only one who thought of Adipose lol

Definitely counts! Would you have been able to fit into them 23lbs ago? Probably not. They fit tightly, but they still fit. Way to Go!

Hello everyone! I'm originally from Springfield but live in Gahanna now. I've been on MFP for several years but just now found the Ohio group.

I have a couple. 1) When I started C25K I had a friend running with me. In the early weeks she was having to really encourage me and cheer me on. As the weather got colder she had to stop running with me b/c she didn't have any cold weather running gear. On days that get to at least 40F she can run. We finished C25k a week…

Mine is getting looser, but I've attributed that to losing weight. I have the back clasp at the middle hook where it used to be at the loosest. Every once in a while I have to tighten up the shoulder straps again but I'm so used to having to do that with regular bras that I don't even think about it. The one I have now is…
