I binge like once a week, eating twice as much. don't even worry about just start new tomorrow :happy:

This is totally a success! Everyone slips up now and then, but it takes a truly strong and dedicated person to get back on track and move forward. Those 5 lbs will be a very distant memory in no time!!Way to go and best of health to you and your children!! :flowerforyou:

Hey guys, I'm gonna chime in because...who doesn't love a good argument?? :laugh: 1) I didn't grow up on a farm, but in a very small rural area in midwestern Ontario (Canada). In fact, our county is "Ontario's foremost beef county", at least according to our signs haha. Growing up without tonnes of money it was much more…

awww haha chocolate brownie cake is pure evil! :devil: I know you're feeling like crap, but just keep trying and remember that 2 days out of the whole month, or year, amounts to nothing. just get back on track today and try extra hard all week :flowerforyou: you can do it!! we've all been there before hehe

My number one tip for when I want a special treat is to plan ahead!! Work out extra hard that day and use the nutrition info online to decide before hand what you're going to have, and then program it into your food diary so you can make sure you don't go over (or at least not too far over). Then, make sure you stick to…

I'm in college and live alone so I have to cook for 1 (or 2 if my bf visits) all the time and sometimes it's a struggle!! I like bettycrocker.com because it tells you the nutrition info, and i like marthastewart.com because she has a classic recipe for just about anything, as well as recipes for a budget, recipes for…

Yes, I didn't have whole wheat either so I used 3 cups all purpose and it turned out great! I think the whole wheat would add a nice texture though, but it's hard to find around here :laugh:

Maybe I should clarify...I'm not eating bad foods per se, I don't keep those in the house. I'm eating healthy snacks like fruit, sugar free jello, granola bars, hummus....the problem is how much I'm eating, once I have one snack I can't seem to stop, and I end up going way over on my calories because I'm so careful to eat…

bump! where is everyone? i know it's a holiday but come on! :glasses:

actually we started a new thread for this week :)

But today is the weigh-in day for our group. So I HAD to weigh, and it just happened to be a day I was up, so that's why I was mentioning the other days I was down hehe rationalizing and all that:blushing:

I'm in midwestern Ontario and the summers seem to be getting shorter and shorter every year. I think we got one, maybe 2 days where we broke 30 (that's celsius...not sure what F would be hehe) So I feel your pain! We have two seasons around here, winter and spring :laugh: btw, winter lasts from oct-may....ugh, I am so…

yeah, until i started trying to lose weight i felt like a weirdo for not drinking very often (i do once every 3 or 4 months) now i'm happy i at least don't have THAT holding me back as well. doughnuts on the other hand....:laugh:

Thanks Banks (hey that rhymes hehe) I have tried doing some different types of excercise, like running which i never do, and cutting my calories by about 160 everyday, as well as evenly dividing my calories throughout the day, as opposed to eating as little as possible and then "saving" them for the evening when I tend to…

yikes, roommates sound dangerous! That's one reason I'm looking forward to going back to school to my little bachelor apartment all alone lol no more temptation from my boyfriend' fast food addiction, or my brothers' and dad's constant snacking :laugh: all alone, i can only buy what is good to eat...and hopefully not run…

maybe if you really cant stand it you can get a small (or baby blizzard, i know some places have those) and split it with a friend :laugh: still bad, but not assss bad lol. As for baskin robbins, I like making my own milkshakes at home, it really cuts the calories. You could get chocolate frozen yogurt, skim milk and just…

I agree with flutterby. When I first started on MFP, I only paid attention to the calories, forget fat, carbs, sodium, whatever. I quickly realized though, that if I wanted to stay within my calories and NOT be starving all day, I had to keep the majority of my food to the lean, nutritious foods most people should be…

Congrats stef! Down 1 lb in 1 week, that's what we're aiming for! And congrats to you neutral girls, at least you didn't gain weight like silly old me! :grumble: lol :flowerforyou: way to go!!

What will everyone have their activity level set to once we return to school? Sitting in class for most of the day has me leaning towards downgrading to sedentary...though i do walk to class. hmmm what do you guys think? :glasses:

I'm Kaleigh, I'm 20 and entering my third year at UWO (in London, Ontario, Canada) majoring in an honours specialization in English. My starting weight was 120, I'm now down to 116.5 and would like to get down to 110 and STAY THERE (<--the hardest part hehe). Good luck to everyone! Looking forward to helping each other…

My problem is my body doesn't feel full when I eat lots of protein. Everyone says eat protein to fill you up, well...it just doesn't work for me! I'm starting to discover that high protein with just a small portion of carbs each meal fills me up. The carbs fill me and the protein keeps me full until my next meal. What a…

hmm maybe monday mornings? I don't know about anyone else, but that would give me the extra push to not be naughty on the weekends lol as for names, i'm not sure! any ideas?

Can I join too? I'm entering my junior (? I think? third year, we don't use those terms up here lol) year at the University of Western Ontario. I don't have too much left to lose, but I could definitely use the support of a group for maintaining a healthy weight once I'm back to the temptations of school haha :flowerforyou:

Stayed at my boyfriend's last night, and I helping him grocery shop today. So...this morning is a low fat cereal bar :grumble: boring, but it does the job lol

kali, I checked out your profile really quick and I think I see where the problem might be. You're only fifteen? Your metabolism is off the charts right now, so you definitely need to be giving it more fuel for you growing body---yes it's still growing! I'm 20, going on 21, and my body is still changing too! You said in…

Thanks! Lots of good info everyone. Maybe I should clarify though, I'm only 20 years old! No years of yo-yo dieting, I've always eating pretty well, and no old fat as far as I can tell, just a bit of build up from the whole frosh-fifteen thing haha. So maybe it's not too late for my butt! :tongue: edit: I like the voodoo…

Try this one by Hungry Girl http://www.hungry-girl.com/week/weeklydetails.php?isid=864 it's great and only 70 calories for 4 tbsp! And welcome to MFP :flowerforyou:

I researched this before, and from what I read yes it is possible, but it is usually not a problem for the average person. This is something that happens to people using certain illegal drugs that affect their mind in a way that causes them to feel thirsty when they are not. They can end up over-drinking and "drowning"…

yes! thank you so much! that sounds about right :drinker:

i'm not sure how to figure it out still lol we use one bag of sugar and mix it into an entire bottle of water (like the kind you get for a water cooler)
