The system has already adjusted your goal calories to include weight loss. If you eat more than it "tells you to," then your loss may not be as quick as you would like. I go over at least twice every week and have still managed to lose. I never go under as 1200 is the lowest an adult body needs to sustain a healthy body( I…

I work out on an elliptical 5 days/week. I find I become hungrier doing this, so I eat the burned off calories. The calculator has already reduced your calories for weight loss, and exercising builds muscles, which burn more fat and faster, so you're not putting yourself behind by eating them.

I also have this problem. Maybe I think I need a reward for making it through the day, or something! Anyways, I try to substitute something else for the chocolate and wine. Decaf tea is my usual go-to (strawberry is quite delicious!), but I have also gotten into a small amount of homemade salsa on a few whole wheat…

I SO hear you with this. My closet is full of clothes that I haven't been able to wear for a couple years, so just looking forward to getting into them a piece at a time are my mini goals. Free is good!

When my kids were small, they liked it when I made their school sandwiches out of Tortillas or a half pita instead of regular sliced bread.

I eat it with a single portion (100g) of fruit yogurt - different flavour every day, and maybe a Tbsp. of sliced almonds to up the protein. Holds me for 4 hours and is only about 150 calories!

Have you checked out beans and legumes? A half cup of Kidney beans is 8 grams of protein, 7 grams of fibre and only 100 calories. Refried beans are similar.They work to fill you up so you're not battling cravings, too!

Sure, but don't use a lot of it; or just completely omit it. Recipes are made for playing with.
