Thanks :) I noticed that I was working out to earn extra calories and then stuffed myself with chedder and other cheesy treats. But because they are so high in sodium and fat I was thinking it wasnt very smart of me, and I havent lost any weight during the time I did this, eventhough I always stayed under my calorie goal.

Oooo these will be tried, next weekend maybe? ;)

Thanks for the recipe, it sounds great!

I see your on the 30 day shred programme, how is that working out for you? I started it but gave up because I had to many social things going on, really just bad timing, but I want to start up again.

Try adding less milk/water next time

I wanted to get the polar ft7, but they are way out of my budget for now. I found a cheap one on Amazon but they dont ship to New Zealand for some weird reason :(

Aaarrggg Amazon wont ship to New Zealand!!! And I dont have a spare $200 to buy it in the stores here :(

Thanks, I will check that out! :)

I made myself a lovely sandwich for lunch, packed with lettuce!

Thanks :)

I agree, I dont see anything wrong with sugars from fruits and vegetables. I make lots of fruit smooties to help with my fruit and veggie intake, and I dont worry about their sugar contents because I know its just fruit and icecubes. I recommend you do the same, keep an eye on any sugar that does not come from natural…

It was a bit more complicated then that... A lot of things that should stay in the past were dragged up and they just messed me up. I lost all motivation, was very depressed and well lets just say I wasnt feelng very full of life. But yes I know I can be an emotional eater. I find that finding distraction by watching a…

Check what it says: does it say per serving or per 100 grams? Then look on the packet if it tells you how many servings are in that packet.

Thanks for your feedback smcs1222!

I log as much as I can but I should probebly stop using the database stuff and just put in some extra time to scan everything and enter my own recipes in, because I think they are way off. Thanks for all your feedback!

For some weird reason I managed to lose heaps of weight while I was travelling! I was eating junk because it was cheap and easy and like you said you cant carry your food with you in manhy of you places travellers will stay.... to be honest I wasnt happy with my eating habbits during my travelling and I rather be a bit…

I have been on here for a long time, but had to take a break due to family issues :(

When I put my info into the calculaters here, this is what came out as a result so thats just what I have tried to follow, but I will definitly try and make some adjustments!

I had no idea MFP had the ratio's like that, I will try and change that! Thank you so much!

Will give that a try for sure, thanks :)

I know the feeling, though I was in a diferent situation, I have been there. What I tried to do was to simply have no money on me, dont take your creditcard with you to college, dont have cash in your wallet, nothing. Except maybe your busfare ofcourse. Also when you are at home make sure there is nothing but healthy…

I am currently doing the Jillian Micheals 30 Day Shred programme :) This is a all over work out of 20 minutes a day (I do this 5 days a week). And I try to add extra sit ups and weight lifting when I have the energy for it.

Thanks :) I do indeed love the scanner option! I just calculated what my dinner for tonight would be and I used the scanner, I was shocked at the amount of sodium that is in the sauce that I use, next time I will have to make a different sauce with less sodium in it!

She was right though, I was drinking way to much! I just had a bad period I guess haha. Portion control is something that I'm pretty good at during the day, until dinner comes along, need to work on that!

Definitly agree with you here. Problem is the food that is available at work is not that varied. I know I could bring in food from home, but the pay is terrible and the one benefit is having free lunch. How ever I do often try and have a salad wrap instead of the ham and cheese toasty, it just depends on what is available…

True, this is because I just use whatever is in the database that resembles what I have had. I often log things on my phone so I did not see that what I log has not included these stats, I will watch out for this next time! Thanks for noticing!

Interestting, I'm way off there haha. Will definitly work on this! Thanks!

Thanks for understanding! I was worried people thought I was being a pain by 'talking back' but like I mentioned before I think people that post here deserve an explanation. And I like discussions more then just a one off comment. I have some back problems (slipped disc in my spine) which is sore 24/7. This prevents me…

What do you mean with 40/30/30 spread?

Lol, yes I like replying to as many people as possible personally, as they have taken the time and effort to post here so I feel they deserve a reply. It is indeed suprising how much sodium is in some of the things I eat, I thought I was making some good changes but maybe I should reconsider some of the things I have been…
