I've been using a fitbit for 2 months to maintain my weight. I love it. It has a display that you can see calories burned, steps, and a flower that grows and shrinks with activity. There is a 'start/stop' button to time stamp any activity you do (sleep included) so that when you sync it will be time stamped- though you…

Costco has the deep chocolate vitatops 12 for $9.99 which is a really good price if you look at how much they cost elsewhere. You can also sign up on their website and get coupons for ordering off there and they send 'buy one get one' type offers. their website will direct you to the stores closest to you that carry their…

Sodium Ascorbate Powder Vegetarian 8oz by NOW Foods Sodium Selenite 250 MCG 100 Caps by TwinLabs are the two I found doing a google search. I suppose there are more out there or you could work an energy drink into your diet- that usually replenishes electrolytes including sodium.

Current: 0-1 Goal size: 1-5 Fantasy size: I don't know. I guess to just love the way I am =)

I'm on maintenance (after using MFP for weight gain so I guess not exactly the same) I use both MFP and a fitbit to calculate what I need for maintenance and MFP is usually low so I think your safe with what MFP calculates for you as long as you're honest. =) I dropped weight using just MFP as it put me too low when I…

You don't have to log your exercises- the fitbit will do this for you without you doing anything unless you WANT to see it in your activity log, then you do have to hit the 'start/stop' button at the beginning and end of activity. It will then show up when you sync (again you don't have to manually log anything) Fitbit…

I've had the fitbit for abt 2 months now and I love it. You can set your stride and it can tell the difference between running/walking. You can hit 'start/stop' when you do and activity (like running/walking/elliptical/ea active, etc) and it will register on your activities page...you can monitor your food vs. calories…

we use the Pita Break Whole Wheat Whole Grain 100 Calorie OneBun They are delicious in the MultiGrain too (also 100 Calorie) *Edited to add link: http://us.ozerybakeryinc.com/products/onebun100cal/

I'm on here for maintenance of my weight after using it to gain weight =) MFP was helpful to gain though I didn't really use the calorie portion- I used it to track what I was eating and to make sure I was getting the proper amounts of food at each meal and nutrients for the day. That's how I'm still doing it only now to…

At Costco they're $9.99 for a box of 12 deep chocolate vitatops. I heat one 35 seconds and eat it with a fork. 100 cal delish =)

I noticed a lot of the foods don't have potassium noted in them-- it's listed as NA or 0 when really they DO indeed have potassium content. The baby carrots I just ate by brand, listed NA under potassium when baby carrots have approx 78mg potassium for 10med baby carrots (on average). This is just one example, but it has…

uh- public board my bad =) I don't think it makes you gain. just hungry.

Hey good luck =) Maybe drink some tea before going if that calms you (It will also help you pee in a cup-- which they will ask you to do) I hope it goes well and you feel better after talking/seeing the Dr.

You do know that's a load of bullocks right? You don't get to 'pick' what your body burns. (carb, protein, fat) it chooses what is efficient and what it needs now- usually that will be carb first, then protein, then fat...but believe it or not it doesn't always work that way. And sugar does not stop you from burning fat.…

I've never gotten a recipe off any of the sites (including skinnytaste, 400caloriesorless, hungrygirl, etc) to match even when I use exactly as they say and portion properly. The calories are always higher when you calculate it out-- usually the fat content is higher too. I tend to use calculate by hand and then put it…

Here you go: http://www.morningstarfarms.com/products_meal-starters-grillers-recipe-crumbles.aspx You can get them at Target, Cub, Rainbow, Whole Foods, Lunds, pretty much any grocer in the freezer area where the 'healthy food/vegetarian is located. Ask if you can't find it. We like it in Taco's the best so far but have…

You can get them in boxes of 15 on drugstore.com and amazon.com for much cheaper than getting them at the grocery stores. I check between the two to see who has them on sale and who has free shipping. Usually you can get them for about $14.50 for the box of 15 delivered. At the grocery store (at least mine) they run…

Most Targets, Lunds, Whole Foods, Rainbows and Cubs also carry them but the price is a little steeper and you get less (the costco deal is really really good!) At those places just look wherever they have the 'organic/healthy' food freezer part and you'll find the vitatops, vitamuffins, sometimes the vitacake, and we found…

Here is a store locator for the chips (otherwise they sell them on Amazon in bulk--which is believe it or not MORE expensive than buying it at the store grrrr) http://www.mediterraneansnackfoods.com/store-locator/ When I used the locator it didn't have Kowalski's which carries the chips for some reason but it had Costco…

Deep Chocolate Vitatops instead of a brownie (100 cal and 9g of fiber!) very filling and SO YUMMY/Chocolaty! Mediterranean Snacks Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper Baked Lentil Chips instead of potato chips/crisps (110 cals for 22 and they have 4g protein) Mini Babybel Light cheese instead of string cheese/etc cheese - 50 cals for…

Chocolate Peppermint Luna Bar... I have one every morning w/out fail. Tastes like a candy bar so I can't have it late in the day or it will turn into a binge of like 10 lol Also red delicious apples. yum. every day.

OMG I loooooove Applebee's Cajun Lime Tilapia!!! It clocks in at 310 calories and tastes like sheer heaven. It comes w/ a side of veggies has a black bean/corn salsa on top and is on a bed of rice pilaf. It even has 9g of fiber (I keep track of my fiber so that's a bonus!) There are other options also that are awesome at…

I like the Chinese Chop Salad (small) at Noodles and Company. 150 cals and it tastes good! you can add chicken breast and it only goes up to 280 cals --- sooooooo good!

I <3 the Chocolate Peppermint Luna's, unfortunately they are a binge food for me so I only have one at breakfast time and then it's hands off or I will eat 10 lol.

Have you tried Vitalicious products? like vitatops, vitamuffins, vitacake etc. they all have 50% required iron and are soooooooooo yummy (I like the deep chocolate vitatops...costco has them right now for $9.99 for a 48 pack) here is their website: http://www.vitalicious.com/ also foods rich in iron: * Red meat * Egg yolks…

You need to see a nutritionist for help. You, with a past ED, shouldn't begin a diet without prof. help and guidance. Instead of counting calories (which can be a trigger to relapse), you should be using exchanges. A nutritionist can help you with that. The healthy weight loss will naturally follow without you having to do…
