Ok, thank you! I will keep a lookout!

Thank you NyimaR, I like the idea of soup, are you talking about the ones in the bag at the Supermarket that you make? Not sure what Fresh ones you mean? Thanks

Thanks Wolfehound22! Yes, that is what I am learning!

Thank you Kaxfenix! Apology accepted and that is more like it! Now you are talking! I agree the Popeyes isnt good for me, lunch is particularly hard. I have tried like a Lean Cuisine or something for lunch and that is just not enough food for anyone! I do work full time so I need something good to take with me to work and…

I am trying to find a good balance Lizziebeth! My first week I wasnt getting enough calories, then another week I didnt do very well at all. I am also a pretty picky eater and it is hard to find healthy foods I actually like and that don't cost an arm and a leg. Eating healthy can be expensive! Congrats on almost reaching…

Thanks Amber, I appreciate the tips! Congrats to you, looks like you have had a great weight loss!

For the record that cake eating isnt a daily thing, I am getting married and had a cake tasting with the bakery! You could also be a little nicer in the way you talk to people! You can get the point across without sounding like a jerk! I did not know you could change the metrics in MFP, I will have to look at that, I have…

Thank you so much everyone! I wish I had the time to respond to everybody! Yall are so encouraging and had some great tips and lessons learned! I appreciate each of you taking the time to respond, I wish MFP had a way to like each comment like Facebook does! Thanks again!

Thank you and you are right, that is really all I can do is make tomorrow better! I am not going to go crazy today but some days are just harder than others and I should of had a more filling breakfast!

Thanks, will do! Good luck to you and I hope all this info helps us both!

I just asked a friend of mine this question yesterday, she is a personal trainer. Her advice was for me to stay away from the complex carbs like bread and such. It sounded like if it comes from the earth then its good, kinda like hunter, gatherer foods? I know when I have lost weight in the past the smallest I ever got was…

I am having the same issue, I am trying to eat 1200 calories but then I am working out once or twice a day and burning 400 or 500 calories, then my app tells me I need to replace them or I am not getting enough calories, I know what you mean, it is easy to get those extra calories at McDonalds but I want to get healthier…

What an inspiration! Huge Congrats to you, enjoy your continued success!
