Fat free Greek Yogurt beats out fat free sour cream in almost every category, including: calories, cholesterol, protein, fiber, etc. The only thing that sour cream gets better numbers in is carbs. But the other benefits of Greek Yogurt far outweigh that. Greek Yogurt also has probiotics, which is good for digestion. If…

That is very brave of you to reach out to others in a time of frustration. A lot of times we want to put on a brave face that nothing is wrong and I'm happy that not only have you turned to others for help, but that there has been such an outpouring of love and support from others on this site (I'm fairly new here). There…

Not to sound negative, but I tried the 30 day shred and couldn't get through it after trying for several days. Mind you, I seem to be more out of shape than some of the posters here. My plan has been to lose about another 10 pounds (I've lost a little over 20 so far) and then try it again. Probably after the new year. If…

I have to agree with you. The only thing I really like from Olive Garden is the Ravioli di Portobello. Even in Orlando there are some REALLY good Italian restaurants that are the same price as Olive Garden and the food is amazing. I've been trying hard to move away from chain restaurants in general and find great local…

Great list! :)

To my super-wonderful husband, I love you terribly. You're a great friend, confidante, companion and soul mate. You work very hard to take care of our family and our home and you are a great daddy to our toddler. That being said....please, please, please do something to sweep me off my feet again. A surprise date night, a…

Good one! :)

YUM!

Well spoken!

Ok, the first thing I want to say is that I am not a medical expert, so please take that into account when reading this post. What you're describing is often called water intoxication (the big, fancy word for it is hyponatremia). It comes down to the amounts of sodium (salt) you have in your body. if you drink too little…

The suggestions that everyone else has made are all great ways to help curb you stay under calories. Exercising, drinking more water (did you know that your body can actually confuse dehydration with hunger?), eat more protein and veggies. One other thought that I had is that you may be cutting your calories too much. I…

Way to go....I too am having a harder time eating "junky" food. :)

Hey there...just take the total number of servings in the box...multiply by the calories/fat/whatever in each serving and then divide by 48...i like that you're doing it this way...you can have 2 or three mini-cupcakes and feel like your eating more. :) Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Weight Loss Tools

That is so great! Congratulations. That's the only thing that I don't really like about losing weight so far. It draws attention. I'm not a shy person by any stretch of the imagination, but it just feels strange. As you said, though...it's totally worth it! Thanks for sharing. :) Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Weight…

I just joined myself. Thanks for this thread and to everyone who shared their before and after pics. I started WW several months ago and switched to MFP earlier this week. So far I like MFP better (although WW was great, too). So far I've lost 24 pounds total although only 1.5 of those pounds have been on MFP. I still have…
