Greek yogurt with fruit, cottage cheese with fruit, or (yes I Know, it's processed) one of the Jimmy Dean breakfast sammiches.

The only reason I'm not going to do something at lunch is I'm not super thrilled at the possibility of twisting an ankle in ballet flats. Bring on casual Friday! Also excited to get my bike tomorrow. It's my birthday and my mom and dad are getting it for me! I've got some health issues going on that make running (which I…

I think this is exactly what I needed to hear... I've gotten so caught up in the OHHH SHINY that I've lost track of what I really need.

Following because I was getting ready to post the same question!!

I'm here because I need the same answers... Bad day at work? Eat. Mad at family? Snack. Upset? Food. Depressed? Nom nom. I'm trying the count to 10 thing before I eat something that isn't a pre-planned meal or snack. Count to 10 and ask myself, am I really hungry, is this a craving, or is this something deeper that I'm…

You are definitely an inspiration!! Keep it up!! I can't wait to wear a 16, and I'm only at an 18 now...

I think it may have hit the wall behind him...

I haven't... I usually just nod and listen. My problem is that all of her information is supposedly research based. Some of her arguments are solid. I'm struggling to figure out which are actual research based and which are just fear mongering. Her primary source of information is the movie "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead."…

Will a cleanse rid me of all my dirty thoughts?? There's another reason for me to never cleanse :wink:

I just giggled and gagged at the same time...

What exactly are you cleansing from your body that you don't get rid of when you visit the toilet?

Greek Yogurt Cottage Cheese Turkey Chicken Breast I asked similar questions last week. I was eating WAAAAY too much fat and not enough protein. I got a TON of great advice here :)

Thank you everyone!!! I've got to stock up on my salty/crunchy... I have raw almonds, but there's no salt... So they do ZERO for my salt cravings. I don't have any issues with my blood pressure, so there's no real reason that I need to keep a super strict eye on my sodium intake. Those 8 packs of Pringles sound like music…

Baked chicken, grapes and string cheese... Much better than the veggie chips or Sonic crap I used to eat!!

I'm so glad I revisited this topic today! I had baked chicken for breakfast. I have to admit, It was REALLY WEIRD!! But holy moly did it taste heavenly. And I didn't really start getting hungry until it was time for my lunch break. I should have grabbed another baggie of chicken for lunch, because here I am, 2 hours later…

Yes... This... I am on a medicine for overactive bladder, and it has definitely helped. But I was waking up (still am) and I did leak. I would give your body a week and see... But if it doesn't resolve itself. please talk to your doctor. There is something that can be done to help.

The watermelon stuff is a supplement that helps my energy levels. Recently I've been having a lot of medical issues and my fatigue is through the roof. I've cleared it with my doctor, and it's better than soda.

I am in LOVE with my food scale. I my mind, a decent meal will have a little bit of everything in it. Some complex carbs, lean protein and good fats. Oh and veggies. I know I don't eat enough veggies.

Food should be an adventure!! I think I may have to order some of this stuff! It sounds so interesting :happy: I will definitely be messaging you for some recipe ideas. I also looked at skinnytaste.com. I am hijacking the kitchen tonight and making jalepeno popper chicken. Leftovers will be lunch next week! Om nom nom!

Thank you everyone... Seriously. I will definitely start planning some things out instead of throwing a bunch of stuff in my lunch box and calling it a meal. I feel pretty ignorant when it comes to the foods I'm eating. I feel like I know NOTHING. I know it's a learning process, but I can't help but feel like a moron. Is…

I work about an hour away from home. In order for me to be able to eat at a decent hour I need to as soon as I get off work, so that I can make the hour drive home and not eat right before I go to bed. Going to bed on a full stomach gives me really weird nightmares. I am leaving my current job in June and looking for…

What's better? Baked chicken or grilled chicken? I will definitely start making some changes to my intake. I work as a teacher with an hour commute, and quite often I'm running late. I usually have to resort to eating breakfast in my car. Can any recommend some behind the wheel friendly foods? Or should I bite the bullet…

I usually weigh myself at home, completely naked, after my morning potty trip. The doctor's scale is always different because I'm wearing clothes, shoes, and I've eaten at least a meal. The trends are the important part :) As far as the thyroid, I would go by what your scale at home says. That will be the most true measure…

No point in lying about it... It really does me no good...

Do you think that MFP is accurate when it comes to logging calorie burns?

When I say I'm being supportive, I'm encouraging the right food.. Definitely not ragging on him for making the wrong choices. Ultimately it's him and his decision, I'm just along to be a sounding board :)

Nope... He's actually the one that suggested we start using MFP again. I used it last year with success, but I fell back on logging and gained some of the weight back. I think I will just let his go and do his own thing. He will come around, or he won't. I will just keep doing me and let him do him. If and when he's ready,…

Is starvation mode even a real thing? He has a MFP account and he logs, but I'm not 100% sure it's accurate and he's not consistent with it. I know that I have to eat. I love food and refuse to starve myself. I know it's not good for me, so I just started modifying what I eat. Cutting out the Sonic breakfast helped a ton.…

I supplement, but I don't use it as an entire meal... I like to chew my fiber :)
