Can of vegetable beef soup and some bread. I'm so lazy, haha.

You take those two fingers and try to wrap them around your wrist. The shape.com one put me between 131 and 147, and the self.com one came up with 129.2. I kinda had to fudge my age up for one of them. And now I need to shift my goal weight up a good fifteen pounds. Nice.

You rule! :happy: I've been hunting all over for tasty foods I can cook for my mom during her low iodine diet and this works. Just curious, what kind of squash did you use?

I just grab whatever is on sale, unless it's Lipton. Just about every tea they make is horribly wimpy and steeping it longer doesn't help.

Grocery store here had the little ones on sale, two for five bucks. That's still pretty up there, but they keep me away from the Peeps. Evil little things :devil:

Here's mine... 1. Watermelon. At about 140 calories a pound, they're hard to pass up. 2. Salsas, unless they're really spicey. 3. Veggie pizzas.

Oh dear. I hope most of those are alcohol calories that boil off during cooking.

Yep, basically if they keep the fat below a certain point they can call it fat free. Makes sense for things like vegetables, not so much for itsy bitsy sprays of vegetable oil. Oh, and it's not a second size serving... it's a third of a second. I wonder how people are supposed to measure that.

Burritos from Chipotle. After my usual toppings, they usually came up somewhere between 1000 and 1300 calories.

Fat free white sauce is awesome for spuds and veggies. Not so good for toast, but nothing's perfect. http://www.fatfree.com/recipes/sauces/basic-white-sauce This is the recipe I use, when I'm not too lazy to do any serious cooking and just upend a can of cheddar cheese soup on whatever it is.

I've never seen their stuff at the grocery store here, thank goodness. Pools of grease? Eww.

I take calcium suppliments and drink whatever tea is in the house. Green tea isn't anything special, it works just as well as mint or any other kind. Plus the mint tastes better.

Well, at least they're not doing what Campbell's does. Okay, I understand the value of giving a measuring cup friendly size. But who eats half a serving of anything, aside from bagels and the so-called "medium" fries they have at McGreasy? Not sure if this is true, but I heard once that the hamburgers and whatnot in kiddie…

Salads and fat free frozen yogurt. The drop in calories doesn't even begin to justify their lousy taste.

We so need stickies around here. Bump!

I didn't do it! I've got half a dozen of the things in my freezer still, begging to be eaten every time I go digging for the Lean Cuisines. And it's sooo hard not to have one of them. I'm this close to just hucking them, just so I don't have to be tempted anymore.

I do the same thing. I think it's something done more out of a need to keep the other person from feeling bad. My boyfriend and I both have weight issues, and every time he goes on a diet he stays clear of his grandma for that reason.

Diet pills are evil. They're a money drain at best and screw with things like your heart at worst. Save what you would've spent on them for some vitamin pills.

Another chicken nugget kiddie meal from Wendy's, and a kiddie frosty. Yeah, I know. Not the healthiest thing I could be eating. But it's tons better than the delivery pizza I almost ordered. Darn all this hospital stuff.

I had a McDonald's breakfast because of Momma's surgery in the morning, went overboard on the hospital food at about four, and then my boyfriend took me out for dinner. It was bad, but not quite two days of calories in one bad.

Seafood combo from some Chinese place. Mom's going into surgery tomorrow and nobody in the house feels up for cooking. Edit: did not get past an egg roll and about a cup of the rice. Too worried.

Smart Ones Traditional Lasagna with Meat Sauce, and some bread.

I have the same problem, and ignoring it usually ends in me eating two or three other things and then the food in question on top of it. Just dole yourself out a serving of whatever it is and eat it. Seriously.

Kiddie meal from Wendys. Chicken nuggets, fries, unsweetened ice tea, and a puppy that shall be stuffed with catnip and given to my cat to play with :) And a sticky note coupon for a free kiddie frosty, which I'm ashamed to say will probably be used in the next week.

That would be Mississippi. But it goes without saying that bill isn't getting passed. Not in a state where two thirds of the people are overweight or obese. To the OP: I tested that one out, and it didn't work the way I thought it would. Instead of my body waiting patiently for its scheduled meals, it pestered and pestered…

I had some homemade chicken vegetable soup.

Welcome, and I hope you like it here :)

I just got done doing the same thing, except it was the taco place a couple blocks away from my friday dungeons and dragons group. I knew it would happen and decided to do damage control by picking out a somewhat decent meal in advance. Dunno what to do about Douglas since it's one of those little mom and pop places and…

Brownberry has a nice low carb multigrain bread. It's sixty calories and the same serving size as regular bread. The one downside... it tastes like low carb bread.

A friend passed me some of the materials she got, how to figure out points and whatnot. It lost me about ten pounds that were all gained back in short order. I suspect it was also a starvation diet or nearly so, though I no longer have the food diary to sift through. Horrible diet.
