Jello makes a great pseudo-cheesecake that you might be able to find in the refrigerator aisle of the supermarket where the sugar free puddings and jello cups live. They come in packs of 4. It's a cheesecake pudding base with a cherry topping that's about 130 calories. It tastes something like cheesecake and might help to…

I find that MFP is not very friendly towards those kinds of restrictive diets. You might find better support elsewhere. That said, I'm glad that it's working for you so far. Like any calorie restrictive plan, stick with it and you will get results. Unless you plan on living on shakes for the rest of your life, hopefully…

I was hoping for maybe a stone by Christmas. Have to get through Halloween first, lol.

Fast Food Nation Salt, Sugar, Fat

I don't -hate- salad, but I do have to fill it full of unhealthy things to make it palatable. Like... the salad that's good for you, I don't like. But the unhealthy fast food salad that's worse than a big mac, I love.

I bought a digital scale at wal-mart for about $25. For me, Digital is better because with spring-loaded ones you have to eyeball and estimate, whereas digital will give you the exact number. Plus you can use the digital scale for cooking/baking. Well, well worth the investment.

I would follow a doctor's advice on this one, but if you don't already have a cholesterol problem, I wouldn't worry too much. I have been eating on average around 6-7 eggs a week, yolks and all, for the past year, and on my last bloodwork my 'bad' cholesterol actually went down. I will typically have eggs boiled (2) with…

It's been said that this channel was not in fact, closed by youtube but just made private by the owner, who is claiming that it was taken down for the publicity. Boogie posted screen shots to twitter showing the difference between how her channel comes up, versus a channel that really was banned and the two are not the…

I found this post because someone posted it on Reddit. Amazing transformation, and not weight related, but love the purple chucks in your last photo. That's something that motivates me... I want to be able to express myself with what I wear like normal people do. A lot of things just don't look cute on a big body like…

My diary is open, have a look at yesterday. I ate less than 1610, but not by a whole lot.

I can find something to fit into my limit pretty much anywhere I go. This weekend I had a mcdouble and a small fries. Not the healthiest option but I made it work. Back in my pre-MFP days this would have been two mcdoubles with a jr chicken on the side, & a medium fries. So the choice I made is still progress, to me. I…

As far as fast food goes, Wendy's is usually my #1 choice. They have excellent options for people watching their calories. I typically go for chilli and the grilled chicken sandwich. I understand if you have to cut yourself off from it though, sometimes you have to go cold-turkey to get out of the habit of always choosing…

I would be interested to join and see what it's all about. However, I do have a fundamental problem with Anonymous groups in general because you have to admit you're powerless, which I don't think is true.

They're scared because people are waking up to the fact that soda is worthless empty calories and they can't sell as much overpriced sugar water to everyone. They're going to say anything they legally can to make people consume more.

Because we know that fat contains nearly twice the calories per gram that carbs do, I would imagine cutting fat is an easier way to cut calories than trying to cut carbs.

This stuff is awesome. A crunchy snack with zero carbs. For me, a bit on the expensive side to have every day, but great for once in a while snacking. (It's between $4.50 and $5 a bag where I live)

I have lost 128 lbs in the past year and a half. I can't see how I can regain the weight as long as I don't go back to my old ways.

You might lose a pound a day at first if you're starting off very heavy and drastically changing your diet. If you go from eating lots of sodium to very little, you might pee off a pound of water a day for a few days. Fat loss takes more time. I lost my first 100 in a little over a year. Concentrate more on changing the…

Some bakeries you can buy a single 'gourmet' cupcake. You could go for that with a single candle.

You must eat a minimum of 18 points. You don't have to eat exercise or weekly flex points, but you can if you're hungry.

All times is carb times! I seriously don't think it matters in the least, because calories are calories.

Frozen breakfast sandwich (egg white, turkey sausage, cheese, on English muffin) from Costco, large banana. Coffee, 2 timbits (Americans might know these as doughnut holes)

GNC in Newfoundland has them, and I've also seen them at Dominion (Which is Loblaws in Ontario), but it depends on the store. At Loblaws look for them down near the pharmacy with the nutrition supplements, and not up where the organic food is. Both sections have nutrition bars in them.

I'm addicted to Masterchef Australia right now, they seem to prepare dishes that are a bit healthier than your standard cooking show fare.

My co-workers cackling like hens.

Replaced: Coffee with 2 cream and 2 sugar with Coffee with 2 milk McDonald's Bacon & Egg Bagel/Sausage Mcgriddle (4-500 calories) with Costco frozen egg white/turkey sausage breakfast sammiches (200 calories) I've eliminated like... 95% of the fast food/junk food I used to eat. This includes potato chips, chocolate, candy,…

How does this keep in the fridge? Do you just put it in a plastic container and take out a slice every morning?

They do this in College a lot. Everyone in the thread line up! Look to your left, and look to your right. Chances are, neither of these people will be on MFP in a month. Didn't like that? Prove me wrong.

This morning I had a fat free yogurt, a packet of instant oatmeal, and a hard boiled egg. Pretty easy to throw in the lunch bag the night before.

When I began to change my diet and cut calories, I lost hair. It wasn't enough that I was balding, but enough to make me notice a lot coming out say... in the shower. And my hair is pretty thin to begin with. It's slowed as my weight loss has slowed. I'm told that eating more protein can help. If it's a lot though, see a…
