Also make sure to be careful when you look at a package that you are only consuming one serving size. I had Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup for lunch today and noticed that the container is actually two servings so I had to put two servings into my diary. Not going to have that too often way too much sodium if I have two…

4 11 and 3/4 (but I say 5) :) Down 40 lbs by counting calories, eating what I want as long as it fits into my calories trying to have lower carbs and lower sodium and a bit higher protein. I walk about 45 mins a day sometimes more, sometimes less. My ultimate goal is to lose another 50 lbs. MFP put me at 1200 calories, I…

I wouldn't worry about the sugar just count calories. I've lost 40 lbs just by walking and counting calories. Good luck!

Looking at some of these comments I think I could make a pretty long list but: fish and lima beans

I don't take days off but I try to earn additional calories on the weekend and if I know what I am having for dinner, I usually enter those calories first and then figure out breakfast and lunch.

Its really the same thing. I am eating the same foods I ate with weight watchers and logging it like I did with weight watchers. Same thing without the cost. Some people need the meetings and accountability of weight watchers.

I like the idea of lower carbs, higher proteins but I did atkins and had success but it was just too restrictive and I didn't like feeling guilty if I had an apple!

I walk and use a cellphone app called runkeeper to track my time, calories burned and distance

I am not as concerned with Halloween and Thanksgiving as I am about Christmas because that's just not one day, its a whole darn season. So busy....shopping, wrapping, cooking, lots of quick convenience eating or eating out, not as much time for exercise, parties and more parties, then there are the cookies. It just means…

I hear ya! I just made a decision this time to plan better. I track before I eat and try to stick with what I logged (of course I don't always and just go in and adjust my diary). It is almost impossible to go out to dinner and find something that fits into the calorie budget even if it is a salad so I eat lightly my other…

I weigh most days too. The daily changes don't upset me but it makes me feel in control knowing I am going to check my weight everyday. Whatever the scale says on Thursday morning is the weight I enter into MFP.

I am finding counting calories much easier than counting points.

Looks great, congrats on your success!

Yes, its a good habit to get into to log everything. Some days I could have 300 calories worth of fruit and veggies.

Ive done both I find counting calories easier!

I have an open diary and log in everyday, I sent you a request!

Salted Caramel Pretzel Candy Bar with Low Fat Vanilla Ice Cream (Skinny Cow)

Although I love bacon, I eat cheese more often, have to say goodbye to the bacon!

I use it to walk. I set a goal of walking 60 miles for September, I'm at 49 now!!:happy:

Feel free to add me. I've lost 33. I slacked a bit over the summer but kept up the walking and kept logging in so I coasted but back to losing again!

Really great job, way to go!

Congrats to you, well done!

You look amazing, awesome job!

Awesome job and great advice!

I used it tonight. I was going out to dinner so beforehand I went to the restaurant's website and took down the calories of what I planned to eat, it was easier to just do a quick add of the calories but my nutrient numbers were off so that was a bummer.

Amazing, good for you!

Amazing good for you!!

They just look gross to me. I mostly use fresh if its a side dish but if being used in a recipe I will use frozen.

Runkeeper to track my walks!

I found counting calories much easier than figuring out points and the data base is great you will really like it.
