  • I had a similar issue. I strated off great. In my mind I said if I can lose 50 lbs I will be happy enough. So I lost the 50lbs and stoped. One day I decided to get on the scale and noticed I gained back 14 lbs and decided that wasn't going to cut it so I kicked myself back into high gear. It helps me to have my families…

  • As a vegetarian hummus is a staple in my diet but it doesn't have enough protein to replace meat. I like hummus with pita or veggies as a snack rather than a meal. I also replace mayo/mustard (your condiment of choice) on my sandwiches with a little hummus... Good Luck and Happy Losing!

  • My office mates love to leave little snacks/goodies on the tables too! It drives me a little crazy but once I explained to them what I was doing they are all very supportive and no longer offer me the goodies. Now granted my office is a LOT smaller.

  • MFP recommends I eat 1800 calories a day but I make it a personal goal to net 1200. So far I have had pretty good success.

  • I have the same issue. I place mine on a hard surface. The carpet will really mess with the reading. Then I weigh myself until I get the same number 3 times. (And yes it is frustrating and can take several trys) Once I get the same weight 3 times that is what I go by! I figured out that the more frustrated I became the…

  • I don't add anything to my green tea and I don't count it as water.
