  • I am a carboholic. I started MFP about Jan 1st this year and had a difficult time keeping my calories under the goal. When I heard about low carbs being the way to go on one of Dr. Oz's shows I gave it a try, but was simply unable to keep it under 50 gms a day. I was so very tired on 50 gms a day I decided to step it up.…

  • Low fat string cheese is a healthy before bedtime snack and I have been told somewhere along the line that it can help clean and protect your teeth from tooth decay while you sleep.

  • I really liked reading your post and I am soooo glad you like MFP as much as I do. I like laying my whole anticipated foods for the day out in the journal and then making choices based on how the calories, carbs and fiber total out. It gives me a sense of control over the calorie goal. It's so easy to delete something on…

  • I don't log tea, stevia, spices or vitamins. I guess my idea of journaling the foods and caloric drinks is to keep me accountable for my choices that were responsible for my weight gain. So I try to keep the entries to just caloric foods and drinks. I only drink water, tea and coffee anyway. Does Advil have calories...not…

  • I too was about to rejoin WW. Several years back I did manage to attend the meetings but I was working full time and I had difficulty attending the meetings. I sometimes felt the meetings were more about selling their new products than having a support group. I have only been on this site for a few weeks but it seems very…

  • I fear a visiting house guest will throw me off track. Before starting this program 6 days ago I did a major clean-up of my kitchen cupboards which left me nothing in the way of goodies to offer guests. With Christmas just next week and overnight guests expected I went shopping yesterday and ended up buying a bag of…
