  • If only they tasted as good as the cardboard they are packaged in! JUST KIDDING! I keep a few in the freezer at work for those times when I have to unexpectedly work after hours. I work in computer systems support and sometimes we have to work well into the night. Having these on hand removes the temptation to run down to…

  • Don't take this as being "snotty" or smart alecky, but this program is based on tracking calories in vs out, so it would be kinda pointless if meals are not recorded. With that said, I do miss recording meals a few times on weekends, but am "religious" about it during the weekdays. I have consistently lost a pound or so a…

  • Pan fried Rabbit (marinated overnight in buttermilk, cayenne, paprika), brussels sprouts, baked sweet potato w/butter, brown sugar, and honey. Portions controlled, resulting in about 750 calories. Don't eat like this often, but the Wascally Wabbit followed me home and got what he deserved!

  • I used Nicorette gum for the first month or two which really helped fight the nicotine craving (which seemed much like food craving to me at the time). It was easier for me to cut back on the gum, than to cut back on smoking. I gradually reduced the gum until I no longer had tobacco cravings. During that period, I learned…

  • These "burgers" are quite tasty. My wife and I make them often, but we do not make sandwiches out of them. Instead, we serve them on a bed of lettuce. I put mandarin orange slices around the burger, and dress them with a few tablespoons of Ken's Asian Sesame with Ginger & Soy. I will sometimes top with a few La Choy Chow…

  • I'm 65 and been sitting behind a keyboard since Zilog processors were the hottest on the block. Was at 280+ lbs not quite 2 years ago. I was using Calorie King until I came to MFP. CK is very similar to MFP, but cost is $85/yr. The good old calorie in - out thing works good for me to point, and that point seems to be I…

  • OK, not a female, but am married to one. She's 60 and had lost around 100 in the past few years. I'm 65 and lost 60 during 2011 - mid 2012, then gained back 20 by end of 2012. Started MFP a few weeks ago, and lost 6 lbs so far - so NO, it's not too late for someone in their 40's!

  • "Slow and steady wins the race!" You seem to have lost 6 lbs in just 2 weeks. I have lost 6 in 2 weeks too, but I expect that to slow down based on my previous experience. It seems that it is easy to lose faster initially. Don't be too concerned when/if your loss drops to a pound a week. That's really where you want to be…
