These are really good. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/667708-very-blueberry-muffins-110-cal-of-pure-deliciousness?hl=blueberry+muffins

Have you been using the Garnier product for long? I find it leaves a film on my skin. For acne DD uses Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer (or the drugstore analog) daily and Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque a few times a week. A little dab of the masque left on overnight really takes down a bad breakout. All of these are dirt…

Macronutrients - carbs/protein/fats. Setting your macros is one of the challenges we all face and there are many ways to calculate them.

Check the box. The barcode scanner is a great convenience but isn't always accurate.

Yes, you're doing it right. Yes, you can succeed. You've already lost 4 pounds!! Check out the success story posts and you will see many people who have lost as much or more than your goal. Exercise is only included in MFP if you included it in your activity level. Otherwise the calories are a bonus. Eat them or not, it's…

I'm not one for renting dvd's but I have found a surprising amount on line, including the full 30DS at YouTube, trial Walk at Home "mile" on their site, and many others. Also, OnDemand has a good assortment that changes regularly. This thread has enough recommendations to keep you busy for a while.…

Absolutely not!!!!! Humans enjoy eating for the same reason we enjoy sex - it's necessary for our survival. Anyone who considers dieting to be a punishment will not be successful in the long term. That's why I'm not "on a diet". I have to eat this way for my health and well being. Strict diets are usually chosen for the…

We can all "eat less and survive" but why would you want to? You need good nutrition, especially protein and healthy fats, to support your body. Eat at or near your limit and be sure to balance your meals well. Even if you're not especially hungry at meal time eat anyway; it will save you from binging later.

Bacon, definitely. I think 45cals a slice is a bargain. And real butter; I don't use enough to cause a serious issue and it adds so much flavor. Oh, and real mayonnaise.

It's the Adipose. Does the alarm go off when he leaves through the cat door? (Sorry - Dr. Who humor - couldn't resist)

Without GPS a smartphone app won't be able to pinpoint your location well enough to be accurate. You could try www.runningmaps.com. It works very well, but expects you to travel in straight lines. There isn't a straight line in my neighborhood so I have lots of points in the route but I drove it to verify the mileage and…

I would want to be called out, but I appreciate the no-nonsense approach. HumAlong has the right idea - a private message that expresses concern. If we all waited until live settled down we'd never make progress.

Check the stats on the coleslaw - more calories, carbs and fat than the potatoes and gravy (which I prefer anyway). I'm getting On The Border ads for all you can eat tacos. Now if it came with bottomless margaritas I'd be interested......

Many people who are overweight don't recognize hunger. It's as if their body has turned off this mechanism because it's not needed. At your age, and as a male, it's important to be eating much more than than you are. As another has noted, eat real food. Just less of it than you used to. Eat at specific times even if you're…

I use it as a substitute for sour cream or buttermilk, in cooking and baking. One of my favorite snacks is greek yogurt topped with salsa, with celery sticks for dipping. Brands do count; IMO Chaboni and Fage are the best. You can add it to a sauce or gravy without curdling. Stir in a tablespoon of flour per cup and temper…

I just started week 1 for a second time. The first days out I was only able to run half of the intervals but I DID run them. It was actually funny because I realized that I had forgotten how to run! Before starting spend a week or so perfecting your brisk walk for at least 30 minutes (about 1.5 miles). I've gleaned a lot…

This was just posted yesterday on SkinnyTastic. I would leave out the pickles, mostly because I don't like them on my burgers. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2013/03/cheeseburger-casserole.html#more Or how about meatballs? Finely chop carrots, onions and celery and mix into the meat to lighten up the dish and get some veggies…

So glad I saw these! Just picked up two pints at the grocery (BOGO) and was wondering what to do with them.

At least you didn't go out for junk fries afterward. Drinking always makes me hungry!

Zucchini, eggplant, and portobellas are naturals, cut and roasted like a steak or in large chunks. I love zucchini meatball "sandwiches". DD mixes pasta with veggie strips. Use a peeler on carrots, zucchini, and squash to make a colorful pile of strips and put in the collandar before you drain the spaghetti (or dip briefly…

I received my blood work yesterday, borderline high cholesterol. My doctor said to keep fat at 30% of calories and saturated fats below 10% of calories, and to lose weight and exercise. Way ahead of you doc! Don't wait until your next visit to speak to the doctor. Call or email for directions. You may find that you are on…

www.skinnytaste.com seems to be the most recommended site here. There's a ton of choices. Find a dish there or in one of your cookbooks that you've had before so you know you'll like it. DD puts post-it flags in all her cookbooks (at 18 she has about 20) to mark the recipes she wants to try. Start with soups or pasta.…

I hate to be a buzz-kill, but this much water could be dangerous, especially if anyone decides to chug it down at day's end. Water intoxication can occur with as little as a quart of water in a one-hour period.

This chart should help. Some cookbooks also have this information. http://livelovelaughlearn.wordpress.com/2009/03/18/pasta-amount-uncooked-yields-amount-cooked/ Weighing is convenient but not always practical. The nutritional label on the past will tell you how many servings are in the box. If you make, for example, half…

Perhaps you confused potassium with sodium. Sweets are a good source of potassium and other nutrients. I love them baked with a little butter and cummin.

If this has been going on for a while consider seeing a doctor. It may be seasonal depression (SAD) from insufficient sunlight. Try to get out as much as possible and get some exercise. If you crave carbs when you're depressed have canned fruit (no sugar) and maybe oatmeal. It will provide the comfort you're looking for…

Bulls-Eye brand, made by Kraft. The original flavor is the only one in my fridge but I remember they removed the HFCS a few months back.

And go ahead and eat 1.5, 2, or more servings if it fits. Freeze the excess and you have an easy lunch.

Borrow the recipe and plug it into the Recipe module on the Food tab. I wouldn't go by the completed dishes in MFP unless you know what exactly is in them.

Salsa and plain Greek yogurt, sometimes with veggies and sometimes with a spoon.
