  • Love egg nog (minus the rum. never had the alcohol version). Anywho, it's really the only time of year you can buy it. I say buy one small personal size bottle (8-12oz) to enjoy and that's it. Don't buy the large containers, otherwise you'll be tempted to over do it.
  • I'm already addicted to this site and new as well. Feel free to add me (as long as your ok with multiple updates! lol)
  • Hello and Welcome. I've only been using MFP online for a couple of days and have already found an amazing amount of support. THIS website is the place to be :)
  • You MUST buy the Ninja Blender! I have the Ninja Blender/Food Processor and it's FAN-TASTIC. I use it mostly for smoothies (and ok, frozen alcoholic drinks too) but it beats the heck out of the hamilton blender I had. That thing couldn't even crush ice for me. http://www.blenderexpert.com/ninja-blender.html
  • I think dog food would be better. lol
  • What brought me to MFP? Well I downloaded to the app on my phone in early October, simply to see how many calories I ate. But it wasn't until this past week when I felt like it was finally time to start REALLY using MFP for what it was intended for.
  • You know, there's really no food that I feel like I *HAVE* to have. If it's not in the house, it's not an issue for me. But when there are baked goods, like cupcakes, brownies, cookies, ect in the house, I find myself having more than I should.
  • Sometimes though it's so hard to drink water, especially when you're not thirsty. I think that's the worst, having to force yourself to drink. I find myself having to do that often.
  • Don't stress. Learn from it, remember it in morning, and make better choices tomorrow. That's all you can do :)
  • I believe prisons give out "bars" that have all the nutrients needed. I'm pretty sure it was prisons, or something like it.
  • Have fun, it's a vacation after all! I've never been on vacation while dieting, but every vacation I've been on involved a TON of walking and sight seeing, so while you indulge a little, you'll probably burn a good chunk of those calories anyway.
  • You know, I don't know if anything can motivate a person until they're really ready. I've done different diets and have tired to change the way I eat many times over the years, but nothing ever stuck. I started using MFP on my phone early October, as a way to see how many calories I was eating (not really dieting), and…
  • *picks face up from floor* Looking at your pictures give me hope.
  • I'd say get your own scale to use at home if you can. I use theTaylor Biggest Loser Scale (I believe it's $40) and found it works really well. I only use that scale to weigh in, don't trust other scales because they can be off.
  • Oh yeah, I could eat 1/2 a donut IF I cut it in half BEFORE eating it. lol
  • Although this is all still very new to me, I don't plan on denying myself something if I really want it. If I really want something, I'll just eat less of it. Eat a small cheeseburger instead of a Big Mac, eat half the donut instead of the whole, eat 5-10 chips, instead of 1/2 a bag.
  • You know, I didn't even think about sodium. I double checked and it was 820 in sodium. Which sounds pretty high, although I'm being told I should have 2,500. Even so, I'll just be extra careful the rest of the day.
  • The 270 calories includes the dressing. They don't give you much ranch, probably 1 tablespoon I'm guessing. Which I found to be great for portion control because I'm use to free pouring dressing and coating my salads. Connivence is a huge issue for me, and the pre-made salad once in awhile makes it easy when I need to grab…
  • Most fast food restaurants, anything with a drive-thru. It's the connivence of it that kills me. Even more so if I am busy or out on the road going someplace. It's too easy to grab something at a drive-thru than cook.
