Congrats! That's fantastic!

It's a fantastic story! Congrats!

I agree with Tim. Try asking him why he isn't supportive, and why he is making these negative comments. He may be insecure with himself. Of course, that is no reason to talk to you the way he does. But, it may help in order to find some sort of resolution to this problem. I do apologize for how you are being treated.…

Hello, I am not sure if there is a way to filter it, or I may not know how. But, I have read that the asterisk* means its an MFP entry, and not user added. It can be frustrating because there are so many entries, and a lot are not what you need, so I try and add as much as I can myself. I love scanning the barcode as well,…

I completely agree. Even if they put a small salad on their value menu it would be great. Their food is so unhealthy, but it's cheap and convenient. If their salads cost less or a small one added to their value menu, people would make better choices.

Try slicing the avocados onto a bed of lettuce with some other vegetables. Avocados are high in calorie, and although other veggies are low, they are still good for you. Try eating more bananas, they have at least 90 to 100 calories depending on the length. Also, maybe try various types of nuts, like almonds and cashews.…

This. Not racist.

From what I understand about how MFP works, is the calorie budget your given is calculated with the, lets say, 500 calorie deficit. So I've read in other forums that you should be eating your exercise calories back so you don't have too much of a calorie deficit. Maybe you're not eating enough, and your body needs more…

My face slimmed down My co-worker told me that before I was cute, and now I'm pretty. WTF Would you take that positively or negatively? I told her, "I'm beautiful!" End rant.

Have you written any books? Because I would read them. I was so engrossed in your story, and I can relate. Congratulations to you. You look fabulous and are an inspiration.

This. Call the health department. You should be able to feel confident in buying stuff from your store if you happen to not check the expiration date.

I will definitely try this. thank you. Bump

Weight flucuates all the time. Weigh yourself once a week. If you decide to weigh yourself everyday, weigh in generally the same time everytime. Preferrable in the morning after using the bathroom.

Add the items to the database yourself and don't use what MFP already has.

Bump! Yummy, I love cauliflower.

Being smart would be making the decision to go a different route completely. Restricting to a diet that consists of only 500 calories even short-term is unhealthy, especially if you're exercising. With exercise, you are working off those 500 calories and living off nothing. Last I knew, living off nothing leads to death.

It is extremely unhealthy and damaging to your body. Living off of only 500 calories is dangerous and this diet has lead to death. http://www.fox19.com/story/22797857/fox19-investigates-hcg-diet-blamed-for-killing-west-chester-mom what about consuming only 500 calories intrigues you? Starving yourself intrigues you?

Bump. yummy

Have a big salad. Bunch of fruits and veggies

This. steamed veggies and sauce on the side. Maybe add some shrimp if you like that. If anything, get whatever you like, portion it out and save the rest for the next day.

Exactly what I was thinking except substitute the mayo for hummus.

The best advice I can give you is to get a hrm monitor. It will help you accurately record calories burned. I have a Polar FT7 and I use it everytime I work out. I don't workout with it because I need to know exactly how many calories I burn so I know how many to consume.

Bump!
