I do this every day, i just log it. I eat anything and everything if i really want it...It's fine if you stay within your calories. It really depends on you, though. If you only have a modest deficit to begin with and then don't log anything for an entire day, you could easily wipe out your weekly deficit without knowing.…

I make my own hot chocolate with ghirardelli baking cocoa powder, a tablespoon of sugar, and a cup of almond milk (i'm lactose intolerant). Tastes great and comes out to around 100 calories, satisfies my sweet craving at night, and takes quite awhile to drink, so I'm busy with it for awhile. Outshine frozen fruit bars are…

I actually forgot i used to suffer from this when i was at a normal weight (before i got fat, lol) This is also a possibility

I actually quit soda cold turkey and just dealt with the cravings for a few days. Now i have one when i want one, but caffeine and my body really don't get along well anymore, so i really don't drink them often. I just started drinking filtered tap water all the time because i didn't feel like wasting money on other drinks…

Also, mfp doesn't differentiate between added sugars and naturally occurring ones, while many recommendations are to limit added sugar. That could be the disparity you see. I won't even get into the discussion of whether or not added sugar is different from sugar in fruits; just throwing a possibility out there for the…

I don't have any medical issues, so i just don't track sugar, lol. If you have medical issues, you should see your doctor for guidance on setting a goal (diabetic, insulin resistant, etc). Without a medical condition, you can eat what you want as long as you're under your calorie goal and still lose weight. For the best…

I started out at just under 220 lbs and my calorie goal started at 1450. It sounds like your calorie goal may just be too low. Try setting the weight loss goal to a pound per week (not sure of the equivalent in kg) and seeing how that works. Often, people don't accurately assess their activity level correctly either, so…

What did they call Victoria? Posh Spice? I forget. Too many spices, haha

I completely forgot it's called Wannabe, lol! So here's a story from A to Z, you wanna get with me you gotta listen carefully, We got Em in the place who likes it in your face, we got G like MC who likes it on an _ Easy..., V doesn't come for free, she's a real lady, and as for me you'll see, Slam your body down and wind…

Wtf happened to this thread? Spice Girls' song Tell Me What U Want, according to i think it was the producer, is about how they each like sex. I sure wasn't interested in knowing that, lol

Having said that, someone else is correct...there is no spice proven to stimulate or suppress appetite. Pepper MIGHT make you want to eat less, same as sriracha or hot sauce...i know if my food is spicy, i can't eat more than a few bites. Sorry, there's no quick and easy weight loss aide. You just have to put in the work…

That's wrong....Abraham Lincoln said that, and that's his picture on there, sooooo....

If my kids left cookies, one of our cats would eat them. My kids are too old to believe and couldn't care less, so i just eat all the cookies i want when i want, lolololololol

There are no laws regarding breaks here in the US, although some states have some laws. Mine doesn't, and i often work 10 or 11 hours without a break. I manage by eating a huge breakfast (eggs, cereal or peanut butter and jelly on toast, Greek yogurt), then i stash one or two protein bars or granola bars in my pocket and…

Started gaining weight due to some medical issues, then had absolutely no idea how to get it off again until i stumbled across this app and solved most of the medical problems. It's sad to think i could have prevented gaining weight or at least gaining as much if I'd had any education at all in why people get overweight.…

I work at McDonald's. Food is free, so yup, i eat there every day. I pick lower-calorie options (i only work during breakfast)...the biggest things i miss from my diet if i eat NOTHING but McDonald's are fruits, veggies, and protein (because i don't get a lot of protein when i eat the breakfast stuff). I'm still losing…

I'll just say that adderall would be my absolute last option due to the side effects, both short and long-term. My son is on concerta and ritalin, and they do wonders for him. He went from being a violent, obsessive uncontrollable kid who was flunking school to a kid who is pleasant to be around and gets mostly As (as well…

i've used Ken's low-calorie sun dried tomato salad dressing, can't remember exactly what it's called but it's 40 cals for 2T and tastes great on chicken and other things. i also make my own ranch dip with my own spices. you could also do some kind of chutney for the meat, it might go over well on the veggies or might not.…

this describes me, although i don't bother making the attempt to smile more...yeah. haha

if you're losing at the rate you want to, i'd say that's about all that matters.

i had to buy running shoes. and a year later, i got myself a fitbit for my birthday. i do love the fitbit. at first, i thought it would be mostly a glorified pedometer, but it's a bit more than that, and i do like it. i also bought some dumbbells, but that came even before the running shoes. oh, i guess i did get a food…

oh wow, your doctor is ..... something. find a new one, lol. 17 lbs in less than 2 months is quite a lot. good job!

i only count infused water if i eat the fruit or whatever that i have infused it with. and eat the calories recommended by mfp, be careful if you log exercise using mfp method because it is often way over your actual burn. most people eat 50-75% of exercise calories back. if you're starving one day and not hungry the next,…

Also, OP, .5 lbs a week is my goal at the moment...so i'd say you're doing well. Keep at it!

+1, i would have been this thorough before but i am on painkillers. Also, i just KNEW that all the "starvation mode" links were going to be about adaptive thermogenesis. But none of us are smart enough to comprehend, let alone actually take a correct guess as to what will happen next :D

I haven't been able to read her profile and don't know her stats (although someone mentioned she didn't have much to lose), but height doesn't so much as everything put together. Mfp will bottom out for anyone. I had an app on my phone that did not bottom out, but i can't remember what it was now...but it was funny putting…

i'm 35 so i'm certainly not a teenager, but i have known what troll meant since it was only a certain type of lawyer, and i knew what it meant as soon as it started referring to people like you....lol. i lowered my overall cholesterol and raised my hdl both into good levels simply by losing weight....i had no other plan or…

time for me to go ahunting.....

............am i the only person on earth who really doesn't like pizza? i get that feeling. lol

check out different options?
