While this article appealed to my "inner bean-counter" I fully agreed that counting calories and choosing wisely is an effective tool to losing and maintaining. :smile:

Certainly makes one wonder about other foods, avocados for example.

Truly amazing! Congratulations!

Great work!

I'm feeling cold as well. Even after reaching my goal weight and returning to eating a weight sustaining 2,200 calories per day I'm still cold. Despite the inconvenience of layering up with clothes I'd rather do that than return to my previous insulation. Good luck and congratulations on the weight loss.

Nothing to add. Just marking this for future reference. Great ideas. Thanks!

You can do it! The tools and the support you will need are right here. Keep the food diary even if you go over your calorie goal. It may help to make your diary visible so that your MFP friends can offer suggestions. As you have personal success share your experiences and victories with others and encourage others. Ask for…

Bump - I want to be able to find this again. Thanks for the question and the answers.

Great ideas! I'm gonna write this down! Thanks!

Sometimes the cosmos conspires to bring you a day filled with pleasant surprises. Glad you had a good one. Hang in there. Good luck with your studies.

Yes, it is good information. Thanks for the replies.

Very sensible and doable goals. You can do it. There's a ton (pardon the expression) of help available here. Good luck!

Great progress! Congratulations!

I'm reminded of a phrase from Mary Chapin Carpenter's song "I Feel Lucky" that goes: "The moral of this story, it's simple but it's true Hey the stars might lie, but the numbers never do As they say "Do the math"

I prefer to weigh my food and bought a digital scale for that purpose. However if you search MFP's food database many if not most foods are listed in multiple serving quantities including volume measurements (cups, tablespoons, etc.) that you can use without a scale.

Great quote! Thanks!

Glad Hanna34 asked the question. I was wondering the same thing. Thanks for the explanations.

Fantastic! Amazing! Looking Great!

I use "Old Fashioned Oats" instead of "Quick Oats" and add either blueberries or golden raisins. I haven't seen a difference between Quaker and the house brands. Weight and cholesterol were both down for my last doctor visit. This is my breakfast every morning.

Amazing story. Thanks for the post.

Inspiring indeed. Congratulations.
