Nope, my gym is closed so I planned for this to be a rest day. :) Back to it tomorrow!

I don't drink a lot of coffee but when I do, I don't make it myself - I got to Starbucks and get a tall skinny vanilla latte - 100 calories.

I'm a popcorn-holic and one of the best I've found is Pop Secret Homestyle - according to MFP one regular bag has 140 calories.

I get cold more easily because I'm losing my insulation!

I try to stick with the "low cal" section of the menu - I don't eat out a lot though. One thing I've heard of people doing is asking for a to-go box right off the bat and boxing up half the meal before eating to take home.

No regrets, but I ate two almonds that I didn't log because I like to live dangerously...

Wow - way to go! You look great! :)

I'm more shocked to see Dunkaroos in the lunch - I thought they stopped making those YEARS ago!

I'm a major chocolate lover too - what I do is allow myself a little bit every day - like a fun size candy bar or a couple of Hershey Kisses. It satisfies my craving enough that I don't binge. But don't beat yourself up - just pick up and move on and continue healthy eating. We've all had those binge moments.

I think you just have to wait the headache out - unfortunately that's a type of withdrawal. I had a slight headache for a few days after I quit. Excedrin helped (I use the tension headache one).

Skinny Cow makes pretty good chocolate bars (I like the peanut butter ones) and ice cream treats at between 90-150 calories each, so it easily fits into your calorie goal. :)

I love kitties - they're so cute and cuddly and I want to pet them and hold them all day long and I wish I had one...however...I am also HORRIBLY allergic!! So no kitties for me. :( But I do like all the cute pictures I'm seeing on this thread. I mean, why couldn't I be like allergic to...buffalo? I don't want a buffalo as…

So...story time. There was this lady at the YMCA I go to that I'd always look at and say to myself "I wish my body could look like that" - never did talk to her but always noticed her around - then one day they put up some new of their "My Y Story" series and one of them was hers. She used to be big, had health problems…

Amazing job !! :) You look fantastic!

I can easily gain 5 or so pounds of water weight and feel bloated beyond belief...but it goes away after Aunt Flo leaves town...

I took the 1200 times 7 which gave me 8400, then took my average of 500 exercise calories x6 (6 exercise days, 1 day of rest) to get 3000 - added them together for 11400 then divided again by 7 which gives me a daily total of about 1600 calories to enjoy, so on my "1200 calorie day" I actually eat slightly over and all…

Well, I'm a dental assistant so I'm incredibly picky especially about front teeth - not only would he have to have teeth but he'd have to take care of them and I don't think I could deal with like, yellow, jacked up teeth. I might not care if he had one or two missing in the back and still had a nice smile up front but he…

If it fits in your calories, then go for it. Yes, cheese has fat but it also has protein, calcium and vitamins, so I think a little bit every day is not bad.

I can easily gain 5 pounds of water weight during that time but it's gone within a week.

Yeah, I can't do 1200 - in fact I added up 1200 a day plus a typical week's worth of exercise calories and divided it by 7 - I usually eat an average of about 1700-1750 a day and that works for me.

I think Summer is easier for me because all the yummy, healthy fruits and veggies are in season and therefore easier to afford.

I've seriously considered it. I've always loved animation and in particular Disney so I'd like to get Tinkerbell on my shoulder blade area - there's this picture I've seen of her with her arms crossed and she's doing this cute little pout and I'm like "That's so me!"

I know exactly what you mean - at my gym in the weight lifting section there's mirrors everywhere and I do not look like all the ultra fit women who use the weights next to me, but it makes me want to look better so I keep at it. Plus, the people at the Y have been pretty nice - I've even gotten help from some of the guys…

People are probably going to hate me for this but Les Miserables. I've never seen the play, so I can't talk on what the differences are, but the movie itself was just so hyped like a year before it came out so I go in like "This is gonna be the best movie ever!" and come out like "What the heck did I just watch...two hours…

As long as it fits within your calories, go for it - I drink 1-2 glasses a day myself. Milk does have fat, but it also has protein, calcium and other vitamins that are good for you. And 2% milk isn't really that bad as far as fat goes (and tastes WAY better than fat-free).

Woo - since December I've lost a mid-size microwave (I started on MFP in January).

If you love to eat, learn to love exercise - that's what I had to do because there is NO WAY I can do 1200 a day.

You're doing well - I can see it. Don't worry - I couldn't see in myself until just recently (I've lost 35 lbs since December) when I saw a recent picture of myself compared to one taken Oct 2012 and I said to myself "Hey, I'm not looking too bad!" (Still have a ways to go). Even if you don't see it, keep it up - it will…

Vegetable curry with basmati rice from my favorite Indian place and an ice cold Dr. Pepper...mmm...

The food I eat most is popcorn - behind chocolate it's my favorite food in the world. Found out my favorite microwave popcorn only has 140 calories a bag - I make it fit almost daily into my calories. ;) Chocolate, I have a little bit, but there's really no low calorie option there (though I do try to reach for dark…
