I would probably agree that if they are from a bakery, they will all be pretty close in calories. They might range a small amount of 20-40 calories difference between flavors. So just go with your favorite and think about the spread. PB is high but if you can make it work for the rest of the day, no harm. If you can't, go…

Oh another one I make a lot is egg stuffed baked potato....bake the potato (or go lazy-man and microwave it, which is why I do) then scoop out the insides,crack an egg inside it, top with cheese and hot sauce (or whatever you like) and then bake until the whites are done, must have the yolk runny! Trust me. Soooo good. I…

I just made pita bread pizzas for lunch. I got mini wheat pitas, 150 calories for two. And added pizza sauce and cheese. Very tasty. I also made baked eggplant parm yesterday which was so satisfying. I've been on a salad kick lately, but GOOD salads not just a bowl of lettuce. I have a Trader Joe's nearby and I eat their…

Bulldogs! Bleed blue! My college mascot was some type of blue furry cat, no one knew what it was. Then it changed it a clock. Yup. A clock.

Eggs, beans, rice, potatoes. And whatever green veggie that is on sale, just not lettuce. I too am on a very tight budget (no job, living off savings and getting down to nothing). Eggs and potatoes are a very common go-to meal for me. You can prepare them so many different ways.

Amazing job. I hope I will be in your same shoes a year from now.

I love Starbucks. I miss Dunkin Donuts. I would get just plain coffee with nonfat milk there. No sugar, no syrups. But Starbucks I hardly ever just order coffee. I love that they offer soy milk, too. I don't like whip cream on my drinks, so, I always avoid that, too. I love a nonfat caramel macchiato. Or a soy toffee nut…

I love to eat bananas. I don't care what anyone says, a 80-120 calorie banana is not what makes you fat. That is just silly.

Old Navy sells plus size online. Also, Athelta is another one. And if you order online with Old Navy and Athleta, they are a "sister company" so they are all one shopping bag (along with a few other stores). I've never tried athelta because I find them to be pricey but my friend orders from them and seems to be happy with…

bumpity bump.

Just going to bump this since I posted it during a slow time of night....

80s music. I listen to the 80s cardio radio on pandora when I'm going for a jog.

Good idea! I hope you get more replies than you expected :)

I'm almost at 20 pounds loss but want to lose a total of at least 75. Once I get to that I will re-evaluate. If you have an open diary (to friends, doesn't have to be open to public), feel free to add me :)

No one can ALWAYS make the perfect choice when it comes to eating. I'm not going to jump down your throat and ask you if you should have eaten that. If you log it and admit to it, you are only helping yourself learn what is good and what is bad. Sometimes I don't realize something is so loaded in calories or sodium or…

That is FANTASTIC! Congratulations!

Nachos with ALL the toppings with some beer to drink. Or, Sushi. And lots of it. Of course, beer to drink.

I agree! I really try not to be critical, that doesn't work with me, either.

I often use MFP as facebook, too. I should say too that I don't typically eat back my exercise calories. I mostly use them as a safety net, if I am hungry, I will eat them, but I'm not going to eat them if I'm not hungry.

When I was in 3rd grade we did weigh ins in the beginning of the year and at the end. I remember it horrifying me. I was never a fat child but I WAS about a foot taller than everyone else. I don't remember how tall I was but I remember I weighed 78 pounds, I lied and said the scale said 63 pounds. I figured I had to weigh…

Or anything "fancy" I worked at a bank near Wal-Mart and would run in there to get a snack or lunch on my breaks. I would be stopped ALL THE TIME asking for help. I was dressed in semi-business clothes. When I said I didn't work here, they would point to my name tag and I would say yeah, but it also says "Such and such…

I don't see pit, but I do see boxer. And beagle. I thought beagle right away. So cute. I have been dying to know what my pup is. I hear everything lol. From chihuahua to pit bull.

Oh and also, from experience, Target is always the most organized. They really know how to make it work. Best Buy, not so much. Wal-Mart, not so much.

I did not read the thread, just want to offer my advice. Have a plan. Know what you want to get at each store prior to going. If you MUST HAVE something at one store, make that your first stop. Get in and get out. Don't linger around and browse. That is not a day to do that. Plan what store you will go to and in what…

What is the ap you all use? I have an android phone.

I will be eating and drinking (beer) all I want. I will have a little bit of every food. And I will enjoy a piece of pie. I'm spending Thanksgiving at a friends house since I live 3,000 plus miles away from my family. She is also watching what she is eating and it will just be her family of 5 plus me, so we won't have that…

This has happened to me more times than I can count. The first major holiday that I went veggie, my family (extended family) put bacon in EVERYTHING. I was going in thinking, I could have a piece of bread with cheese, mashed potatoes, veggies. Nope, everything had bacon. Then another time a cousin gave me a bowl of veggie…

I wish I was around meat eaters the past five years of my life that thought the way you do. I don't care what others eat, but I just simply do not enjoy eating meat. I now eat vegetarian most of the time (from strict veggie for 5 years), but I will have a meal with meat maybe once a week. Which of course doesn't go well…

I am going to go for a 4 mile walk in the morning, then eat what I want during the day. It is one day a year. The days coming up to it and after it, I will eat at my normal calorie intake.

I ran a mile without stopping in more than half the time it used to take me to walk a mile 60 days ago.
