Wow, a lot,of fancy salad eaters here. I love salad as my go to staple every day because I keep it simple. A mix of iceberg.....yes the dreaded iceberg lettuce along with some fancy lettuces you buy in a bag. I just mix some in with the iceberg to get a nice blend. Adds a lot of bulk and is filling with minimal calories.…

All great reasons to drop a few pounds and all very positive. Don't sweat the gym membership, just watching your calories and sticking to your chosen 1200 each day will allow you to drop the extra pounds before they open. I dislike the exercise part ...until I get going doing it, then I'm glad I did it. So it's strictly a…

Take a deep breath and try to remember that if you don't take care of yourself first you will not be able to help others or Relieve your own stresses. You must put yourself and your health first and foremost and that means watching what you are ingesting.

If you desire to lose, you will have to learn to log. It's just that simple C'mon these days everyone has smart phones and the free MFP makes it easy to log. You can do it while your chewing. There is no excuse unless,you're trying to justify not counting as a reason to keep overeating. I rationalized my way into a 40 lb…

Coffee and cocoa Krispies. A truly healthy breakfast.

Congrats....but remember it's not a diet it's a change in lifestyle and choices.

With nicer weather in Ohio I hope to add some milage to my walking. Both my scale and dogs will appreciate the extra effort. I want to start running a bit more but when I take the dogs with me they mess it up since they have to stop and sniff things every 29 feet.

Very few people have said much to me and I'm glad of that since I'm very bad at taking compliments. I think folks at my office are aware since they see me at lunch everyday with them and it's always salad or soup. They all remember me going thru this ritual a few years ago, and may be apprehensive about commenting since I…

They can influence you but they can't force you to eat/drink something your willpower can overcome. My wife eats a lb. of chocolate ,drinks 2 liters of soda and smokes a pack of cigarettes day but I don't follow that lifestyle anymore. You just need to be stronger and don't make excuses for giving in.

Great deals on e bay too.

Cleveland ( Lorain county) here. But I work in the Akron area a few days each month.

Not always...but I will round up my calorie intake on that meal to cover the taste test items. I am guilty of "testing" noodles a bit more than necessary.

I prefer when people say nothing, my drop of 35 lbs makes me happy and I did it for me. Answering questions and comments from others just makes me uncomfortable. While I don't mind a person saying they notice and I look much better, I much prefer to fly under the radar.

I'm officially kicking myself in the buttt for not trying the chocolate Tried it yesterday and found this flavor to be really good Well worth the money. I think it's my new go to flavor.

1 & 2. Seem like logical choices to me.

Never heard of it Now,if you said Dunkin Diet I might get on board

I couldn't resist

Fried matzo might not be a bad option. Since a piece (30grams) of plain matzo is only about 110 calories. It's less than bread As kids we used to soak matzo with a scrambled egg mixture and fry it up with some cinnamon it was pretty tasty and would not be a strain on your daily calorie count at all. Just remind yourself…

This shirt is my nemesis, I haven't fit into it for 10 years. It hangs where I can see it every time I open the closet. The day I can button it up...comfortably is the day I switch from losing mode to maintenance mode.

The only thing I like cottage cheese in.......is in the trash can. Can't stand the stuff, the texture and taste just creep me out. But I applaud everyone that likes it and finds palatable uses for it.

Like I mentioned in a different thread, it's not bad for the low calories it contains and in my opinion it's better than nothing. I have to add a tablespoon of Hershey's syrup to it to make it seem like REAL ice cream. No harm I just take a little smaller serving and the added syrup is surprisingly low in calories

Not terribly impressed with the two flavor I tried S'mores and chocolate almond were mediocre. Nothing that a few squirts of Hershey's syrup can't fix. I'll take a bit less ice cream and add the syrup.

I like iceberg lettuce it adds lots of filler to a salad is relatively inexpensive and holds my salad dressing in place. I grew up eating iceberg and always use it still. These days I do mix it with some spring mix type stuff And throw in lots of carrots, red cabbage, onion to dress up the salad. It's a great way to fill…

One full pot of coffee. Late night yesterday that ended at 2:00 am with egg, cheese and bacon on a biscuit so that will count as today's breakfast.

I'm a clothes *kitten* for expensive shirts. I like nice dress shirts for work.

Getting rid of the old too big stuff is by far one of the best non scale victories you can accomplish. Great going !

It's sporadic on my end too.
