  • I took "sugar" off of my main diary and replaced it with fiber. Also, the reason why WW started saying fruits and veggies are zero points was to encourage people to eat more of those things. Ten years ago, a banana was 2 points. And an Orange was 1 point.
  • We went on a cruise in February, and I had purchased some shorts that were a little too big on purpose. Because it was a cruise. And I knew I'd be bloated. About 2 Months later I put on those same shorts and they were too tight. That was the day I started eating healthy again. I didn't even "wait for tomorrow". I just…
  • That's awesome!
  • Hahah I did.

  • Okay first thing's first: if someone is saying that to you or to a group of people.....it's just his/her opinion. We're all entitled to one. Second thing is, I personally see nothing wrong with weighing every morning. However, I don't get depressed when the scale says I gained a pound from yesterday when I KNOW I ate…

  • I won't weigh myself in the morning unless I can poo first. Otherwise I just save it for the weekend.

  • Oh, I see. OP just doesn't know when to stop caring. Nevermind, forget I asked. This all makes sense.
  • Joined in too late on this one, now the first thread is gone =[. What was she wrong about to begin with?
  • My boss does this to me all the time. He's had a lot of weight problems the last 5 years or so and he always tries to take the easy way out. He's constantly spending hundreds on crazy cleanses and fad diets, and then he never sticks with it. I honestly think him bugging me is a jealousy thing. The comments I get from the…
  • Brace yourselves.
  • I do amazing until I see something baked. Cupcakes Cake Pie Cookies omg. Even if I say no and eat something healthy instead--i'm miserable and wanting that cupcake for the rest of the day.
  • 1.) Don't ever refrigerate your avocados. 2.) If all of the avocados at the store are really firm to the touch, take it home and put it in a brown paper bag. Leave it in kitchen at room temp. Usually it will ripen in about a week. 3.) Avocados (when they are perfect) should be soft to the touch, but NOT mushy. The skin…
  • 5'1. Started at 225, my goal is 140. Once I get to 140 I will re-evaluate.
  • Yeah i'd go with the 93% lean ground beef. That's what I buy for the whole household-even though i'm the only one dieting. No one has seemed to notice. Ha ha! Besides-Ground turkey just doesn't TASTE the same. lol.
  • If you want to add some grains and fiber put a 1/4 cup fiber one original bran cereal on top. Gives it some crunch too. I like having 6oz plain fat free greek yogurt with 6 oz blackberries, 15 grams of almonds and 1/4 cup cereal.
  • I drink a lot of water and tea, eat a light lunch at work and save my calories for a glass of red wine and some dark chocolate. I then enjoy both of those while taking a bath.
  • The last few days i've made a chicken and rice soup for my lunch. It's super thick though, almost wouldn't call it a soup. 6 oz Chicken 1 Cup Onion 1 Cup White rice 1 Cup Chicken broth. Tapatio Sauce & Paprika Whatever fresh herbs I have around (basil, cilantro, parsley)
  • What else is on the sandwich?

  • All of my co-workers know that i'm counting my calories and eating healthy, drinking lots of water etc. This way, when i'm tempted, I have about 20 people keeping me accountable. Personally I think I would be less likely to stick with it if no one knew I was on a diet. I agree with everyone else though, people who see you…
  • If you're craving a meat and cheese pizza, don't make yourself a spinach and feta one. That's lame. Either make a healthy meat and cheese pizza on your whole wheat crust, or buy a lean cuisine personal sized pizza. I think they are around 350 cals.
  • THIS! Breathe Easy is fantastic.
  • Honestly though, if you're looking to "mix things up" just eat what you're in the mood to eat. I do it all of the time. I wanted a big fat juicy burger the other day. So I made one. 100 calorie thin sandwich bun, 4 oz lean ground beef, 1 tbs ketchup, and one slice of reduced fat colby jack cheese from sargento. Plus…
  • My lunch was a little more than 400 cals today. 6 oz chicken, 1 cup chicken broth, 1 cup rice, 1 cup onions. Made a pretty big soup.
  • I live in Washington State, everyone asked me about pot being legal...here's the deal. Yeah, it's legal in the state of washington. Meaning if a state trooper pulled you over and found it in your car, under a certain amount he's not going to do anything. HOWEVER-You can still be arrested/charged/whatever by anyone in…
  • Amazing! Thank you!
  • Yep. Getting married September 2015 so I have plenty of time but I'm totally stressing over it. It's my main motivator right now.
  • "Just not that into food"... That is what I like to call something a skinny b**** would say. LOL just kidding. No but really I love food omg I have a co-worker who is the same way as your friend. Totally not a foodie. Her idea of a "huge" lunch is eating a bowl of cherry tomatoes. I just don't get it. I made everyone in…
  • Yeah I actually tend to eat less when I am at home for some reason. I know what you mean though, last time I was on MFP I lost 39 lbs then one day just stopped and 8 months later I had to start from the beginning. Here's my best advice: If you need a day off, hell, a week off--take it. But NEVER stop weighing in. There's…
  • My fiance is a tall skinny guy who can eat 3,000 cals a day and not gain an ounce, so I end up making him his own food. Leftovers for lunch are pretty much out of the question. He literally ate a 1600 calorie lunch yesterday. Yeah...no thanks. I usually bring two small lunches instead of a big one, keeps me occupied/full.…
  • Skinny Cow Heavenly Crisp Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar. It. Is. So. Divine. And I'm obsessed with peanut butter too. I just don't keep any in the house. If my fiance wants a PB & J, he can figure something else out. I just refuse to sabatoge myself.
