  • If you can return the favor I'd be eternally grateful! Please, everyone, add me! This is my second start, the first one failed due to a lack of support - I don't think I can do it alone.
  • Thanks everyone! I'll increase my intake of chickpeas, especially now that I found a recipe for roasted chickpeas for snack. And I probably just need to kick my lazy butt and make my own protein shakes once in a while.

  • I want to hug every one of you who wrote so far. :flowerforyou: I'm there too, eating when I'm bored, anxious, frustrated. I think it's because I don't know how to use words to express myself. I also found out that when I'm eating, I'm busy so I have a good excuse not to be doing something unpleasant like cleaning dishes.…
  • Same story on my end! OK, I'm not so new to MFP or to the group, but I could use some encouragement anyway. I guarantee to return the favor!
  • Ouch, I never thought of soda this way! Quite an eye opener.
  • Hey Glitchen! (Sounds better than calling you Slow...!) Is it possible your daily target to low and almost impossible to meet? I find it easier for me to log in several times during the day so I know how many calories I can still afford. Are you *really* hungry? I eat whenever I get anxious which is probably 5 times a day…
  • I'm in Atlanta, GA since 2007, but I'm from Montreal. Does it count? ;-)
  • I agree with Loves, you might be targeting a bit too low. I used to deprive myself and got slim sure enough but also tired all the time and cranky. My goal was too drastic and I would end up sabotaging myself. I started to keep track of what I eat on regular days, and wait until the evening to add all the calories. I used…
  • Here we go: Age: 35 Currently 140lbs Shooting for 125lbs Would really like to get back to 108lbs! But it might be unrealistic. I run as often as I can (I have a few 5K under my belt), do yoga (I love hot yoga!) and hike. I just had sinus surgery and I can't wait to get the surgeon's ok to get back on track. For now I check…
  • Definitely the raccoon, especially if you intend to eat the animal whole.
  • Hi there! I try to cram in a few exercises here and there throughout the day because like you I don't have the luxury of time. I do lunges when I'm cooking, I squat a few reps each time I get up from my chair at work and I do 5 jumping jacks on each trip to the restroom (inside the bathroom, preferably!). I also try to go…
  • Hi Nev, Whenever I have a craving, it usually because I am bored and not truly hungry (and it usually happens at work). I brush my teeth or take a stroll down the hall and the urge goes away. As for weightless recipes, I go for veggie Indian curries without coconut milk or Mexican dishes - I find spicy and flavorful foods…
  • Done. In the office!
