Today I made a 270 calorie breakfast that kept me full for a while. Thomas Light Multi-grain English Muffin, 1 egg, 1 turkey sausage patty and 1 slice of pepper jack cheese. Most of the time I will have oatmeal or farina with fruit.

I had an apple at my desk at work. ;)

Non-fat misto or a non-fat flat white :) I used to only drink caramel macchiatos but MFP also inspired me to change. If you are craving something sweet I would say the Skinny Vanilla latte or skinny cinnamon dolce latte would be my picks.

Add me! I tend to only add friends who have open diaries. It keeps me motivated.

I hate seafood too. I know you said you are not a fan of oatmeal, but if you add some juicy fruit on it like raspberries, or even some peanut butter and banana it will taste great. Other alternatives for breakfast is avocado toast, a simple egg, GREEK YOGURT with fruit on it. Salads are boring for me too, but I change out…

Ooh I might be interested, Ditto to the dead link.

Consensus is personal preference i guess. Maybe one day i'll be able to eyeball measurements.:ohwell:

Bah I hate logging pizza. I live in NY and we have lots of specialty ones. I tend to count on the high end.

Someone on this forum once suggested these: 1 small apple, 12 almonds + ice water with lemon 1 cup baby carrots + 1/4 cup hummus 1 cup strawberries + low fat/fat free greek yogurt 1/2 cup nonfat cottage cheese + 1/2 cup fresh mandarin oranges Hard-boiled egg, sliced, on 1 slice whole-wheat toast with 2 tsp. Dijon mustard

Feel free to add me I'm 27 =) Also having an open food diary will also make you feel more accountable.. since we can all see! =)

Me!!! I'm also the same age. 180 is my mini-goal!! If you decide to make a group please add =)

Ugh. I'm never ever hungry during breakfast hours.. my breakfast merged into my am snack/lunch.

Books are good! I have to bookmark and write all this stuff down. Thank you.

$25 bucks on Amazon not bad at all. This actually seems appealing to me. It looks like each DVD is 30 minutes. THANKS for the suggestion!!!

Oh.. so not a morning person! But you're right I can train myself to be. I think i'd rather workout at midnight..:wink:

Hhm.. where do I begin?? 5lb weights? :laugh: Any program suggestion other than stronglifts 5x5

Never heard of the C25k or Stronglifts!! thanks for the suggestions its much appreciated. =)

LOVE this ^^^

Oh boy same here. I will be good all day except for after dinner. When you get home from work around 5:00pm.. don't eat dinner until 7:00pm or so. The more time I have to think and encourage myself not to binge eat or eat something I shouldn't the better.

I hear a lot of little comments here and there with my family as well. You just have to focus on yourself and try to keep the negativity away. Many MFP people I'm sure will agree that you can eat a little bit of chocolate and loose weight. Keep going strong!!!!

For 1 serving size for a tiny bit of hamburger helper you could have a lot more food and even more nutritious. Try to have some real food.. like a baked potato instead of the instant potato stuff. I would add more fruits and veggies and maybe instead of eating 3x a day add in snacks staying within your calorie range. I…

If I have a jar of nutella I would eat nutella for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's basically chocolate in a jar. I'm really interested in the PB2 peanut butter.. they also have a chocolate version although I've never tried it before.

I would!!! =)

^^ This and hello!!! =) New MFP group in the works?

Hi fellow long islander! I'm going to predict what most people are going to say.. that is your diary is closed so we can't help you examine your food choices. =)

Anything from a chain restaurant. I always prepare myself now before I go. Appetizers, a drink and those entrees add up! Also STARBUCKS!!!

^ This!!

This happens to me as well. The one big thing I noticed is that if i don't have anything planned it all goes out the window when I come home from work. Also put it in your diary before you eat it, so you are less inclined to go over and you stick with what you plan on eating.
