Try upping your calories to 1500. It sounds counter productive but so many times it does work. You are doing a lot everyday. Your body just may need more fuel. Also make sure you are drinking enough. It'll happen. : )

2500 mgs of salt is about 2/3 of a teaspoon. It's the recommended daily upper limit. If your diary was open someone could help you figure out what happened. Perhaps the friends who told you about MFP. : )

What do you do after dinner? Maybe you could look into keeping busy somehow. Or getting out to do something? I know it helps me to be otherwise occupied. A hobby? Cont-ed courses? In what way does food make you happy? Is something else missing in your life? These are the kinds of things i ended up taking a look at. We're…

Just for today: I will remember that this is where tomorrow begins.

You can do it with a regular blender. Using frozen fruit and just enough milk to allow the blades to mix it up. It saves the price of another appliance and the space one takes up as well.

YaY! You! Super NSV! I too (sigh) binge fairly regularly. My way of attempting to beat it is to tell myself I only have to do it for one day. One day is not difficult. Then tomorrow I tell myself the same thing. And tomorrow and tomorrow..... Each night I give myself a pat on the back. Each day I gain an NSV! Super job on…

A lot of people do this. Some after two or three days of being "good" You, for whatever reason, feel you deserve a 'reward' for all your hard work. I could give you a thousand instances of why you might be doing this But you're the only one who can really figure out the answers. If you think about it you might already…

Credence Clearwater Revival ; Bad moon rising. (I think) I thought it was: There's a bathroom on the right. It is ... There's a bad moon on the rise. I still sing it that way!

Also the dentists Named : Payne, Pullar and Yanks!

I once saw a T-Shirt that read: Save a cow. Eat a vegetarian! Hit him with that one. Maybe that would shut him up. His comments really have nothing to do with cheese or jelly beans or food at all. His comments directly attest to his being an ..... (insert your own description here) And yes he's very very insecure.

YES!!! THIS!!! If people would look at actual research. And not only go by what they 'hear' The Water Only Counts' myth would go away. It was de-bunked almost as soon as it became a 'thing' A cup of coffee in = a cup of coffee out. As is true for Any ingested liquid. Or food that is mostly liquid.

I can get those groceries for about $12. Still more filling and healthier than the 'frozen box' food. That being said I shop carefully and eat very well on $40 a week.

The list is way out of whack. If it showed my most used, it would Not list the three it has at the top. I think the whole list should show up as one. There's no real point of having one page listed as Favourites. Especially if it isn't correct. :tongue:

Canada here. We use mostly cups. Generally cups interchageably for liquid and dry measure. Measuring spoons for smaller amounts. It always works. A cup is an eight ounce measure. Tablespoon is 15 mls. Teaspoon is 5. Don't know what that is in grams. My scale doesn't register that low. Other food I use a scale for. Things…

It's so cold teenage boys are pulling up their pants.

Pulling the 'discrimination' card. Some people would complain if they won a gazzillion dollars and it came in a regular envelope.

It's colder than a referee's heart.

If you are working out regularly. Doing things you weren't doing before. Using muscles you weren't using before. Those muscles are getting stronger. You have, I'm guessing changed some of your eating habits. Thereby decreasing calorie consumption. You will gain muscle at the same time you lose weight. Lots of people will…

Eat what MFP suggests. It is almost impossible to get proper nutrition eating below 1200.

When I drink anything I always look into the bottom of the glass. I get laughed at for it, people say it makes my eyes cross.

The same reason people buy cheap goods and are surprised when they don't last. Same reason people fall for 'guaranteed' financial investments. People fall for 'Celebrity endorsed whatevers, Would a Celebrity lie? For financial gain? Looking for the 'magic' bullet. Looking for the quick fix. How many people are sane and…

Lucky You. Lucky Wife, Smiling all over :smile: :smile:

One box of all his snacks in the bottom of a closet somewhere. Only one carton of anything frozen at a time. If he's any kind of real man he should be willing to do this for you. If not... at least you'll know.

If all, or any of the things Dr. Oz recommends worked. He would only ever have to tout ONE He touts ONE almost Every show. One Brand NEW weight loss discovery EVERY DAY? I'm more interested in paying attention to simple things I've heard, years ago. Things he purports to know NOTHING about. And always comes across as SO…

I agree with the previous postings. Also as much as possible ensure that your calories contain as much food value as possible. That's one point I have noticed that a lot of people miss. At 1200 (or whatever) calories MFP sets for you, if too many of them are non-nutritious there may likely be a metabolic slowdown. Your…

Jessica Seinfeld has a cook book. Deceptively Delicious. She shows lots of ways to 'hide' vegetables in food so you don't even know they're there. She developed these to get her kids eating vegetables. I use her book all the time. I'm eating a lot more veggies this way.:smile:

Sounds like maybe he needs some playmates. Day camps? Play dates? Mum's days out? Meeting a group in a park so the kids can play? He needs to hang around with others. Not always just you. Sounds like he needs someone to play With. :smile:
