The canker sores are from the acid, not the sugar. Canker sores are basically the same thing as stomach ulcers.

I eat grilled cheese (no butter, just a spray of Pam on the pan, but you can butter if you want) or turkey sandwiches with a serving of fruit for breakfast on the regular. I almost never eat "breakfast" foods. Apples and peanut butter are good too.

I have woken up every night since I got mine between 10 and 14 times, but I still average over 90% efficient. I'm not really sure how that works, but the efficiency score really doesn't mean you're getting good sleep for me. I still feel like crap in the morning and fall asleep on the couch almost every night before I…

I am the OP of this topic. I decided to go ahead and buy one yesterday. Amazon does have the plum ones for $88 and change. I reasoned that I decided to try MFP before signing back up for Weight Watchers where I had not been so successful lately. WW is over $40 a month, so I've already half paid for the Fitbit since joining…

I lost 53lbs in the past and barely changed at all. At my heaviest, I wore a C most of the time and sometimes a D. I lost about 2" in the band size and went to a regular C.

This was just on Dr. Oz a few days ago. I have issues with sugar and carbs too. The doc on TV said to start by trying to replace your usual starches like rice with cruciferous veggies like broccoli and cauliflower. She also suggested taking chromium picolate because it helps metabolize sugars and reduce cravings and also…

You can find it on some other activity calculators. You are probably not burning as much as you think though. Here's one that accounts for foreplay and intercourse. http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc I just put in 20 min of foreplay and 20 min of intercourse and it's only 148 calories for me.

Thanks everyone for the responses. It was really helpful. I'm thinking things like a glass of chocolate milk (I'm bad a getting dairy in), peanut butter and a banana, avocado (I didn't think of this. I love them, but they are high fat, although it's good fat), or a granola/protein bar would be good choices for me, although…

Do you think it is better to have a deficit than fill the rest of the calories with junk?

I lost 53.5lbs with Weight Watchers, one lb from my goal weight in 2005. I have gained back slowly about 35lbs. I went back on WW in when I got engaged using the Points Plus. It took me a year to lose 15lbs when I lost almost 54 in about 8 months before. I just started MFP and like how black and white it is. The points…

Ditto on the sugar. I go over an average of about 20 grams of protein a day, but I'm also usually under on carbs, which is fine by me. I'd rather fill up on chicken breast than granola bars because carbs and sugar are a problem for me. Good luck!

Depending on how you feel about them, almost all Lean Cuisine or other calorie conscious frozen meals would fall into that range. Pair it with a salad and/or a piece of fruit. Also, any lean protein (chicken breast, lean pork, well trimmed steak) with a small (1/2 cup or so) or rice or potatoes plus some veggies should be…

I've been overweight since 1st grade (25 years). I lost 52.5lbs with Weight Watchers in 2006 and came within 1lb of my goal weight. I went from 194.5 to 142. I felt really weird in the 140's. I had always been the fat kid and now, I weighed less than my mom or either of my sisters. So everyone joined Weight Watchers, lost…

I did Weight Watchers in the past and my leader was a nurse. She said that if you don't eat enough, your body thinks it's starving and holds on to everything because it doesn't know when it's going to get food again. There's a balance between too much and too little. Also, you could get your thyroid checked if you haven't…

I am new to My Fitness Pal and just looking for somewhere for support and encouragement. I am trying to lose 30lbs (180 down to 150) by the end of the year. Add me? (I don't know how this all works!)
