One of the things you can try is to create a loose plan of attack in the morning: oatmeal for breakfast, sandwich for lunch, pasta dish for dinner. Live your life as normal, then at the end of the day log everything you can remember. If you don't know exactly how many grams of noodles went into the pasta, guestimate. Don't…

Do you work with anyone else? How are your coworkers getting along with 6 hour shifts and no lunch breaks? I typically eat a sandwich and some veggie or fruit for lunch and I finish in about 10 minutes. I try to bring simple stuff that requires minimum heating/cutting. I find a yogurt cup, or some milk is very filling with…

In my experience you can't help someone who's unwilling to help himself. The best you can do until that day is lead by example and keep healthy options in the environment.

So mysterious! Lend me your wisdom; I am a basin, waiting to be filled with facts.

Bagel sandwich with cheese and ham homemade pizza chicken cooked in balsamic vinagrette with leek and cabbage any food I can log easily and quickly; I really like food.

Let's have a lifestyle discussion thread! Were you losing weight, I'd say leave it be and revel in extra weight loss, but gaining weight you could bump yourself to "lightly active" a couple days a week and revel in the sweet, sweet gains. If you feel like you're starving hungry those days, I would suggest logging work as…

lol. :wink: I mix my drinks or go with beer for drinking games so I can play for a little while before calling it quits. 10 minutes sounds dead on, though.

I have a manager that seriously thinks you have to eat 6 meals a day or you'll gain weight. What even is that? A diet for hobbits? How do people eat 6 meals a day and still have time for jobs or school? My manager's mom was a real health nut in the 80s and some of the cutting edge science of the day has really left a…

I would like to participate and adopt a noob! Info on me: 5'8 woman, looking to get down to 140lbs, am at 168ish now, started out over 200. I live in Michigan and I like owls.

OP hasn't made his diary public. Is he just looking for an "atta boy?" He hasn't posted any information about himself- height, weight, calories in, nothing. I think he has already made a decision regarding weightloss. *abandons thread*

Every time Oz sells something new, my elderly customers run to my store (Walgreens) and demand the new product that we don't have. Of course, they don't know what the product is called, or who makes it, and most of the time they're fuzzy on what it does or how it works, which makes it impossible to order from other stores.…

This is a good practice if you tend to overeat in the evening. But if you work erratic hours and need to eat after work, this rule doesn't make sense. Do what works for you.

And please don't log "grocery shopping," "food prep," "light cleaning" or other daily activities. Unless your grocery shopping involves carrying bushels of apples across a field, your food prep is chasing an oiled pig and slaughtering it, and your cleaning includes moving furniture up or down 2 flights of stairs, those…

If you have worn a size 00, eat 400 calories comfortably for long periods of time, and have no idea what you weigh please do not invest in a scale. I'm not an expert, but it looks like you have some disordered eating. NOT AN EATING DISORDER but something has gone amiss. Build muscles. Have real food for breakfast with a…

Your husband is literally twice your size. His calories are a little more than double yours, which means the program is functioning. Someone who is bigger needs to eat more because they are moving more mass to do daily activities. If it really bothers you, adjust your weightloss goal to .5 lbs a week. Build muscles so that…

what are visual migraine auras?

Anyone that raves about metabolism, toxins, and negative calorie foods should exit the realm of reality and go on Dr. Oz's show. One time I saw a blog about how apples don't have calories, another post about how Nutrisystem eliminates toxins, and an ad for an appetite suppressant that burns calories for you. Sometimes it's…

I always find it fascinating that a habit that costs literally nothing is so often "ineffective" but expensive miracle potions and spells are fool proof. I like tracking. I like being able to see how much I have been eating, how much is a reasonable amount for me to eat, and when to stop. I would rather track my cereal and…

*sigh* If anyone undereats to the point of starvation, they are going to experience negative consequences like self-harming thoughts, binging, intense guilt, depression, etc. If you are at a healthy weight, cut your calories by 25% for purposes outside intentional weightloss, then allow yourself to eat whatever after an…

"My day went back to zero." Idk what that means. Is myfitnesspal totalling your calories to zero? is your "logged in for X days in a row" counter coming out to zero? are you referring to the clock on your computer blinking zero? what?

I just jumped on a BMI calculator because I'm nosey, and dropping 5 pounds would put you in the underweight range. Instead of cutting calories, you may want to eat at maintenance, maintain your weight and, as previous posters have mentioned, strength train to lose inches. That way you get the best of both worlds: clothes…

I work 3 to 10:30 tonight, so I won't even get to have dinner until 11 pm. Not sustainable if you work a varied schedule or plan on going out after dark.

I love how one of the first responses is "What do you do when the cuts heal? KEEP CUTTING YOURSELF!?" People who get a band that tightens their stomachs EAT THROUGH THE BAND all the time. Then what do they do? They get it tightened or adjusted. Meal times for bariatric patients are also uncomfortable if they get their…

Read an article geared for weightloss tips. You can find these in magazines with titles relating to women, fitness, health and/or beauty. Proceed to do the opposite. Drink some of your calories. Consume a meal replacement bar/shake in addition to a meal. Lift weights. Eat in excess of your total daily calorie expenditure.…

I firmly believe that if your diet needs a website to explain its conditions and/or benefits, you probably shouldn't be following it.

The sampler box sounds like a great idea! Myself, I don't care for mint in general, and I have had chocolate tea in the past (barf) but I'll definitely try herbal teas for the zero caffeine angle.

salted caramel mocha frappucino. it's the only beverage from starbucks i consume, due to the cost. worth. every. penny. ridiculous calories, though- sometimes i have starbucks in lieu of lunch at school. i also try to stay away from regular coffee; the caffeine in their coffees is stronger than i prefer and it makes me…

Something I've heard of really helping night eaters is to "close the kitchen" after dinner. Put away the leftovers, do the dishes, wipe down the counters and do not venture back into the kitchen until morning. My grandma and aunt would do this when I was young because they hated cleaning up snack dishes and didn't believe…
