Taco Tuesday here too. Also with 99% lean turkey and minus the taco seasoning on my portion(too much sodium) Small flour tortilla, meat, onion and cheese pressed in the panini maker for easy quesadillas.

Ricotta and Spinach Stuffed Shells.

Slower cooker- pork loin and apples and oven roasted acorn squash with butter and brown sugar.

Parchment-Baked Trout with Corn and Snap Pea Saute

I menu plan so I can usually tell you what I'm having for dinner about a month out. Tonight is Cheesy Black Bean Burritos with Pico de Gallo and Guacamole.

I log them because I need them to hit my fiber goal. Also some veggies have sodium, I'm looking at you celery, that I need to be aware of.

WSU Go Cougs!

I feel better when my dinner is lighter, but it doesn't always work out that way and it doesn't seem to have any impact(yep couldn't decide on effect or affect) on weight loss.

I'm 5'8" started at 248, currently 208.5 and I've gone down 2 sizes.

I keep looking for this bread in my area, I didn't know to look in the freezer section though. You've given me new hope that I may find it.

I have looked at looked for lower sodium bread and have not been successful. It's extremely frustrating. The lowest I can find in my area is a nine grain bread and has 115 mg per slice. I've pretty much resigned myself to having to try my hand at making my own bread.

I don't do a lot of snacking but my road trip foods include freeze dried fruit and the Cherry Pie Larabar as snacks since they are sweet with no sodium. The freeze dried pineapple was nice to have the last time we were out of town and decided to go to the movies. As an emergency meal replacement I have the Double Chocolate…

I'm working on losing 100+ pounds if you want to add me.

I eat a good amount of fruit and still come in well under MFP sugar goal for the day. My personal aim is 60g, MFP gives me 95g. For example a high fruit day for me was 2 small bananas, .5 cup blackberries, .5 cup raspberries, and a small orange. I was still under 60g for the day. IF you want to watch your sugar intake you…

I love my store brand Diet Grapefruit. I bought it grudgingly when my store did not have Diet Squirt and I found I liked it better. It's more grapefruity than the Squirt.

September 6th, kids start September 7th. I finally looked at the calendar this morning.

What about monthly themes for food pictures? August- Vacation Food- either healthy choices, or indulgences with how you balanced the rest of your day. September- School Lunches October- Weeknight Dinners November- Breakfast December- Holiday Meals- again either healthy choices or how you balance your day with higher…

The fact that I have to specify unsweetened for any of the drinks doe irritate me. Not enough to stop me from going to Starbucks, but I do find it annoying. My go to drinks right now are a tall Americano or a venti unsweetened iced Green Tea.

45 and 55-70 more pounds to lose, adding everyone on the thread so far.

Sometime the end of August, I think kids come back after Labor Day. I should probably look up the exact day.

Just met my roommate for the next 3 days and I already forgot her name.

My understanding is that it takes time to rebuild iron levels. Three weeks just may not have been long enough? Is his doctor periodically checking his iron levels to make sure they are rising? I've never been severely anemic, but even with mild(?) anemia it took at least a month if not longer for me to start feeling better…

We are going out to dinner and it's not a chain restaurant so I can't find the menu on line to be able to pre-track my dinner.

I take pictures and snapchat my food all the time. I love food pictures so a meal picture thread would be great.

I just did this and was shocked at how much my calorie goal changed. It dropped by 200 calories. I thought that MFP automatically did this as you logged your weight change, but obviously not. Of course since I was still losing weight at the higher calorie per day, I bumped it back up to that.

I've noticed that my Fitbit doesn't recognize when I delete things off of my MFP entries- I pre-log so this can be a problem sometimes. On July 4th I ate around 1,200 calories, but had to make many changes, it was an air travel day and things I had pre-logged were not available, Fitbit just kept adding all the calories,…

I also felt the "switch flip" in May and have been logging my food faithfully and trying to hit my macros along the way, since then. I walk a lot!

Name (first only): Michelle State you live in: Washington State What grade you teach: Middle School 6th-8th Subjects you teach: I'm a paraeducator so I'm in multiple classrooms through out the day. How long you have been a teacher: This will be my 13th year. Something fun and interesting: I'm a brand new empty nester. I…

Yes, all the time. I do know it is not real and something I'm making up in my own head, but I still feel that way when eating in public.

I like to bulk up my meals with veggies, partly to get more fiber, partly so I can eat more food. Scrambled eggs- add in a couple handfuls of baby spinach, pasta- add in chopped up cauliflower or broccoli slaw(steam slightly to get it a little softer) salad- a couple different kinds of lettuce to keep the flavor…
