In reading your post, OP, and the comments/responses, I have to say to you answered the question yourself. When you said about you ex's relationship with each woman (work. friend) his cheating had nothing to do with looks. A lot of cheating is opportunity and looking to get something from someone else that is missing in…

yay!! love when that happens. I need to get that fire back!

If this makes you feel better about it - peanuts have a lot of good things in them that are healthy for you - so maybe eating that and apples isn't so bad, if you can manage to keep it within your cal limits for the day. I too love PB but don't eat the natural kind. One thing I found that helped decrease some cals from it…

During my weigh in this morning, I had a gain. Thought I was doing better but did have a couple of days over - I guess over enough to cause a gain! And had such a good day yesterday. That started me in a funk. So I didn't pack lunch or bring breakfast, so already eaten more than half day's calories which would be fine for…

Agree with others who said "it was one day - put it aside and go on". Glad you posted your normal calorie level, because some people have said to lower your intake the next day - but you shouldn't lower your intake to less than 1200 - especially if you are more active than you admitted to the computer you are - so do not…

I know I only posted on here two days ago - but last night I really fought an urge to binge. I had been hungry all day despite eating a reasonable amount of calories already. I had less than a third of daily cals left when I came home from work. I was tired and wanted to just give in and eat only junk food until I felt…

I tracked regularly for first 3 months. That gave me a great guide to learn about portion sizes, restaurant meal calorie counts, etc. After a while I felt like you - I just wanted to focus on other things throughout my day and not constantly focus on counting calories. And it takes me much longer than 10 min a day (like…

just joining and can only remember since the weekend. Started doing better then - so since then it's: Me - 6 Binge - 0 I have resisted stopping and grabbing foods out this week due to hunger, but instead have eaten foods I had at home and restrained my portion sizes. This is great for me after not being on track for the…

You look awesome!! Congratulations!!! your hard work has paid off!
-
I do what everyone else said - add up the entire batch by item and then divide by postions. SherryTech - that is a great idea!! I need to preportion and freeze! Or keep some out just preportioned. Never thought of using baggies for something like spaghetti - that would be easier. I always do containers and that is harder…

You don't have to worry about your cheat meal - I have done low carb before and always had a cheat meal a week and successfully lost weight. My problem is that after about 3 months - I would be craving sugars and junk food so badly that I would go off of it and just go completely overboard on eating the junk food again and…

I can totally understand what you are saying Tammy - I felt that way after I went off my dieting/calorie counting for the holiday. Many things came up in my life that were causing me stress and unrest - and they just fueled the fire for eating. I got to where I was feeling like you described - wanted to eat all the time -…

Hi Everyone! As I said the other day - new to this thread - and it's a lot to try to keep up with everyone and remember everyone's names (there are the usernames, then the real names and I am bad at names in the first place! - Whew!) I am dragging today - do not like the time change and it usually takes me a week or so to…
-
I bought this too - but haven't opened or tried it yet. This week I will be away a lot so unable to start it until maybe end of the month. I'll check back in withyou and see how it's going for you and what you think of it. Good luck!!
-
Hi everyone!! I just found you all and you sound like a great group of women to connect with. My schedule doesn't always allow me to do much more than get on and log and give some support to my "friends" on my feed (I don't have a smart phone to use whereever/whenever) but some days have more time than others and would…
-
Like many people, I do it in the evening after I've eaten my last snack. If I have closed it and then eat something, you can still go back and add it - it just doesn't show up as the adjusted amount (say if you go over cals) on your feed. Regarding changing it later - I have often forgotten to log something or it got late…
-
Here are some others that I use that have not been mentioned: celery with lite laughing cow on it - or light cream cheese from Trader Joes - original Savory Thin Mini Cracker - 37 is 130 cals - you can definitely have less than that to be within a calorie limit you like - or can use them to have with a dip or cheese (they…

I started at 260 and down 30 lbs and then since holiday put a couple back on but lost a few, now only have 3 to lose to get back to 30 lost - but have a long way to go - goal weight is about 140. Please feel free to add me - I like to have friends that are close to my own size and/or age too - so that I feel like our…

I like catfish - and it's cheap! But for some people it's too "earthy" tasting. However I like it with cajun seasoning - some light breading and pan fried. I also LOVE Swai - discovered that when looking at catfish at my fish counter at the grocery store. It was cheaper than many - and I just love it. Have made it pan…

I agree with everyone's comments about how amazing you look, and your loose skin is not what one first notices due to your muscles and overall physique. I do, however, think it's important for people to realize that they may have it though. I know it's a worry in the back of my mind. And I am divorced and once I lose some…

Good for yoU!! That's what I like about MFP - if you have to get off for a while because of life's circumstances, it is always here when you want to return. Some old friends and some new friends.

wow - great weight loss halloweenie!!! Almost there already!
-
you guys are doing great!! We need to go on and post our weigh in for the 30th on week 7. Or just wait for week 8 on Nov. 6th.
-
I agree - hope people just haven't been remembering to post their weekly weights but are still in there with us! Awesome job you guys!
-
wow - caty - that is a great loss too!
-
"Gained 1.6 pounds from last week but I am able to pinpoint what happened: too much fun at Big Bear last weekend. But I am happy to say that I am back on track and I expect to see a loss next week. Have a great week everyone. [/quote]" That is the important part. Getting back on track. Life is going to happen and I know I…
-
You guys are doing great!!
-
Then you have achieved it!! These forums are to help each other out - which is admirable. Putting them down for asking for help is not!!
-
You sure don't sound like you are trying to "help" - more like badger her and try to prove you are right by any means necessary. Weight loss is journey that is different for everyone. I strongly believe in certain types of diets that have worked well for me in the past, but some other people they didn't work for. Some made…

Congrats!
