I always want a sweet snack at night. Many of my new favorite nighttime snacks involve bananas, often briefly frozen and combined with something else. I do a lot of PB2 and banana combos or sometimes throw in some unsweetened cocoa powder as well. You can make a "pudding" out of it or just kind of use it as a dip. If you…

I second delicious_croc. 1200 calories and then eating back any exercise calories would be the bare minimum a female should eat. If you don't eat back exercise calories on top of a 1200 target a day, you're actually more apt to see your weight loss stall quickly as your body conserves those calories in starvation mode. Eat…

Hi everyone. I'm 22 years old. I started at 214 lbs and 5'8". Aiming to get to 160lbs (which would be -54lbs) but may re-evaluate that goal weight once I get closer. During the first two and a half weeks, meeting calorie goals hasn't been too tough for me. I find that I've enjoyed cooking more and also try to shake it up…

What an awesome amount of accomplishment in roughly three months!

From what I've read on here so far, it depends a lot on your goal too. If you have MFP set to -2lbs/week but are okay being between -1.5lbs/week and -2lbs/week, you'll still be on target to lose weight in the in-between even if you go over by 300 calories 2 to 3 times in one-week. In some cases, this appears to actually be…

I think planning at least my meals the night before can be helpful. I know that I tend to want a snack at night after days I have work and class, so I purposefully stick those in there. I also feel that it keeps me more accountable to exercise if I am planning in a specific amount of exercise calories to eat back.

I was horrified about Starbucks nonfat pumpkin spiced lattes! Even nonfat and without whip, it's 260 calories for a grande and 48g of sugar. While I didn't think they'd be great for you, I underestimated how bad they were. I think I drank them like four or five times a week last fall without considering calories at all.…

In a class I took two years ago, I had to write a brief story about where I'd be five years from then. Last month, I re-read it to see how my goals lined up so far at almost the midway point. I realized that I was on track with almost everything except for the fact that I had aspired that I'd get to my goal weight before…

I grew up in a household where lots of snacks and junk food was pretty much the norm. I saw no problem with nibbling on some Reese's peanut butter cups in a candy dish on the table, eating whatever chips we had in the cabinet, going out for an ice cream with friends, and eating bagels for breakfast. Basically, I took a lot…
