You folks who don't like it...are you talking about yellow grapefruit? or Red? or Pink?

I've made microwave "scrambled eggs" at work before. Just lightly grease the inside of a mug with butter, scramble an egg in it and microwave for 2 mins.

Omelets are not acceptable? Add some nice veggies. Yum!

Doesn't ANYTHING you do more physically demanding than sleeping count as an activity? Personally, I don't log any activities; adding calorie room will just tempt me to think I can eat more. ETA: I see "standing" is listed as an exercise activity. So is "cleaning, moderate effort"

Yes, I will log my meals through Christmas. If I go over on calories, so be it. It looks like only a handful of days I've gone over my limit in the past 6 months. I'm not sweating it. I usually log my stuff in at night, after eating/snacking is done. It won't cut into my enjoying/visiting/etc. during the holidays.

Mince pies are called mincemeat pies here, and I stayed away from them before because I thought they were sweetened real meat pies and I thought that would be gross. Apparently there is no meat in them. Hahaha. I kind of like them now. As for seasonal treats I've had, I bought a tray of cherry icebox cookies. Mmmmmmm....

Calculate the calories for 2oz of chicken. Subtract that from the soup calories.

That looks like a Cubano.

Throw away the flavor packet, add in your own spices, onions, mushrooms, some beef/pork and a beaten egg. Awesome, fast meal.

This. ^ Also read that microwaved zuchini strings with sauce and meatballs is good.

Mine sounds like me, but is creuler, nastier. Like (sarcastically) "Way to go, Fat Boy!" or "Was it worth it, Fatso?" or "Boy, You really f**ed up this time, didn't you?" LOL. I also hear Drill Sgt Hartman's voice too "..Because you are a disgusting fatbody!" / "You owe me for one jelly doughnut!"

New Brunswick in the house!

Yes, you should see your doctor for any arrhythmias or tachycardias.

Maybe try substituting good snacks for the bad ones? Carrot sticks, celery stick, green peppers and a little ranch dip? I think we're allowed unlimited vegetables. A big plate of it is only like 10-20 calories. I know they're not the same, but they do have that crunch. Cottage cheese, oatmeal.

At work today. I have a roast chicken leg quarter, 1/2 c potato salad, 1/2 c cherry tomatoes. Asian pear and water for dessert.

Yes, a good weight training program combined with a healthy diet will change your body composition by losing fat and building muscle. That will result in your desired inches lost but weight staying stable. You probably WILL lose a bit or weight too unless you gain muscle easily.

I used to think I wasn't a comfort eater, but now I know I am a stress eater which is essentially the same thing. Some days I'll have my healthy (intended) lunch already entered into MFP and the numbers look so good, and then I'll have a crappy mid-morning/afternoon and all my planning will go out the window. I'll be in…

I think for me it is the carbonation that I like. I'm going to try switching to Perrier. I like Sanpellegrino too, but Perrier has no calories.

For those who said sex is a basic need that must be met, I pose this question: Say you are sentenced to prison. For a long time. What are you gonna do then? You still going to "meet your needs"? For the postrer who said "sleeping, eating, sh*tting and f***ing are pretty much the basics in life..." If you don't sleep,…

I think if the person you are with can live with their number, then it's all good. An extreme in either direction is not desirable. I think most people wouldn't want someone like, say, Wilt Chamberlain (who claims 20,000 partners lifetime) or Xaviera Hollander (The Happy Hooker) I'm old school but for today's lifestyles,…

Hello from New Brunswick!

There is a MFP app in the iTunes App Store. It's free, works pretty much like this website does but with a little less detail. I have it on my iphone.

I agree with you. A "diet" implies something temporary that will end when the goal is reached. A lifestyle change is for life. All day, every day.

Guys, it's not the end of the world. It is "The end of the world as we know it". That could be a good thing. Or a bad thing. A friend of mine has told me of Planet X or Star Wormwood or Nebiru. I don't know if that's spelled right. Supposedly it is an object that has a 3600 year orbit around our galaxy. He said the last…

Chew up a bite of banana but don't swallow it yet. Chuck the vitamin into the banana mush in your mouth and then swallow. It goes down with the banana. This is better than liquid or water. Try it.

I thought if you think about it in terms of distance, you will get the same benefits from walking as from running. Say we were setting a goal of 5 miles. If you ran, say, 5 mph you would complete the 5 miles in one hour. If you walked a leisurely 1.5 mph it would take you 3+ hours to do the 5 miles. I guess I'm saying 3…

I've seen recipes online where you can make your own "copycat" frozen beverage. I can't look it up now but probably Nutella, Almond Milk , ice, maybe some dark chocolate chips, protein powder.

Back in my athletic days, I ate huge amounts of food without gaining weight. I kept up the (bad) eating habits after that lifestyle and gained and gained. Post-college, got a car, got married, worked a desk job. Fast forward thirty years and here I am. You always seem to look in the mirror and say "It's not THAT bad." then…

Mine is Pepsi. I have switched to Diet Pepsi but am not enjoying it. People tell me after a while I will not notice the difference. My other craving is bakery goods. Damn....
