Thanks for sharing! I love buffalo chicken dip!

Hey there! Welcome to MFP! Feel free to add me, I think we have similar weightloss goals and could be good motivation for each other :)

You look fantastic!!

If it's something you use over and over again, you can click recents and they are usually there. I know I have the same thing for breakfast every morning and when I go in to the my recents, I just click them all.

I avoid bread 95% of the time but when I have it, I go for the most nutritious peice of bread I can find.

I would try switching it up a bit. I am doing a protien diet as well, but not Atkins. It is a little more strict than Atkins. I would try being a little more strict to try to shock your body. Like the first poster said, sometimes you just have to change it up a bit when the body starts expecting the same things. On my…

Welcome! Feel free to add me.. I am in the same boat as you! Trying to lose some weight because I'd like to be healthy enough to have a baby! Among other things... :)

I sometimes get obsessive about it. I suppose it's different for everyone and different strokes for different folks. But the fluctuations would get me down until I finally realized that they often meant very little and they were simply just making me crazy. Now I try to do only once a week because the fluctuations would…

Good luck! Deciding to make a change is half the battle! I hope you get all the support you need here! It sure has helped me so far. I love that it keeps me accountable and I love the encouragement from the community!

Great list! Laughin Cow cheese keeps me sane! :) Love it!

You look so fantastic! I have a lot to lose myself. I'd love any advice you can give me!

I'm really weird about texture as well. But I really like greek yogurt. It is smooth. The Chobani pomegranate has seeds in it which really bothers me. If you don't want your yogurt to crunch, steer clear of that one! But I actually think Chobani is one of the ones that is higher in sugar so you may want to compare a couple.

I had someone say something hurtful just this weekend. My husband and I and my best friend and her boyfriend went to the movies together. There was an older lady taking the movie tickets on the way in and her name was Margaret and my friend's boyfriend who is one of those chatty people was like "do you go by Peggy?" and…

I went through this about three weeks ago. I was really on track but then super bowl came and what was to be a one day of indulgence, turned into a few weeks. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to get back on track... I put it off with excuses like "well I will finish these cookies so I don't waste them" and "I…

The best thing I did for myself was get rid of all the junk in my kitchen and never buy it again. So when I get th urge to stress eat.... it's not available and I can talk myself out of getting in the car and going for something. I did a sugar detox recently and it has really helped to. It really cut the cravings for me…

I've been doing no carbs or sugars for about 15 days now....I was a total carb and sugar junkie. The first ten days were hel. I felt so bad for my husband. I had headaches, I was grumpy and I just never felt full. I did some reading on sugar detox and things like that. I drank tea to try to ease the struggle but it was…

Welcome Asif! Uk is awesome :) I hope you get the support you need from MFP, it has been great for me!

Welcome to MFP, feel free to add me! :)

Welcome! Everyone on is so friendly... like others have said... nobody ever gives me a "hey who are you?" kind of response to a friend request! Hope you get the support you need... it sure has been wonderful for me! I added ya :)

If you are wanting to adjust which ones are being displayed on your diary... you will want to click settings and then dietary settings. Then you can choose which ones you would like to be able to see when you click into your diary.

Diet soda is def bad. It actually causes the body to think that it is getting sugar and then when it does not, it stores fat. I've been doing a lot of reading about diet soda and aside from just being bad in general, it's not a great choice for being healthy in the long run. But my mom went from 350 to 115 and drank tons…

I've always been the chubby girl in my world of skinny friends. I never received much mockery about it thankfully. There were certainly a couple times when someone may have said something. Recently I was at a club in Pittsburgh for my one friend's bachelorette party and some girl I didn't know made a rude comment. I, of…

Welcome! I hope this works for you. I've found this site to be incredibly helpful.

Hey there Coco! Welcome! I took a look at your profile and it looks like you and I have similar weight loss goals! I too have recently become incredibly motivated. Perhaps we would be a good asset to one another. Feel free to add me as a friend! Best of luck to you!

It is hard to say why she didn't mention the weight loss. She may have thought since you two were on the "offs" that it may have been rude to mention it for fear of insulting you or perhaps she just wasn't yet ready to put aside what happened over the summer. Whatever the case may be, I'd say the source of the tension is…

I was having a hard time deciding where to start as well. But it turned out that signing up for this was a great way for me to get my jump start. It is really helpful in monitoring what I eat... and it discourages me from eating things I shouldn't because I don't want to have to put it on my food diary! Best of luck to…
