  • Mmmmmm... Sounds so good about now.
  • Yes! i can be sooo focused, and then I come in to work. Sometimes there's free food for staff and it just sticks on my mind until I have to go get some of whatever it is, and it's all junk. Pizza, cake, chips... I don't keep those things in my house because I know I have terrible will power. It's like work is sabotaging…
  • The pictures are a great idea. It's also a good idea to take several measurements- around you arms, chest, natural waist, hips, thigh and knee. Multiple measurements can show where you are losing the weight. I've been on the 30DS and I can tell by looking that my top is smaller, but not my bottom. The first week my waist…
  • I hear you guys! I've lost weight in the past, but a few years ago I noticed I was growing. I tried different things- adding exercise, eating healthy. But my size just continued to resist my attempt to halt its growth! until I joined this site- suddenly I can see everything I eat and know what I need to change. It's…
  • I'm switching up my salad my making and using new dressings. This week it's sweet onion. :) I also make a ham/cheeseburger salad - ground browned scrambled hamburger meat over lettuce, tomato, onion with ketchup, mustard and cheese on top. It's actually really good. You could always wrap your salad in a tortilla- then it…
  • Try nuts, nut butter, avocado, beans, lentils, or meat to add healthy calories. Hummus it also a great choice. :) If you told MFP that you are sedentary when you set your goals, then it did not include exercise/activity in your calorie intake. Your fitness goals of exercising 5x a week are recorded to help you keep track…
  • I don't count mustard, vinegar, or spices. Sometimes I skip my instant coffee and just count the cream I put in it. Some days it's just not worth it to log it and watch the "0" pop up. O.O
  • The e coli and listeria on vegetables usually comes from contaminated run off from large cattle farms. E coli is a part of cow digestion and listeria used to be only heard of in dairy products. Because the animal products are usually either cooked or pasteurized, it is not much of a problem. It is a very big problem for…
  • I meet that criteria! :) Feel free to add me. My food journal is open to friends. It's my first time having a food journal, and I'm finding it really helps me see what I'm eating. I'm just starting out, so I'm still working out what the kinks are. I had no idea the amount of calories in some of the things I was eating…
  • This thread is awesome! I have to agree with the others that said if I wore clothes I would blame them. =)
  • I've been there, too! I'm new and it would be great if you added me and we could support each other. It's time to break the cycle! I agree with Paleo. Food is not going to "whoop" me! :))
