  • My favorite go-to lunch is a huge salad made of greens, grilled chicken, chickpeas, carrots, tomatoes, broccoli, cucumbers and bacon bits. Newman's Own light French salad dressing packets. Yum!!

  • Last night I closed out my diary entry for the day and then proceeded to eat a store-baked red velvet cookie the size of my head. Didn't log it. I spend WAY too much time reading MFP forums at work when I should be working....and my boss sits 20 feet from me so I have to "pretend" I am doing something important. I hate to…

  • Hi! My diary is open to Friends so feel free to add me! Super Bowl Sunday was a bit of a hiccup but I wanted to allow myself some treats to help motivate me moving forward! I don't spend a lot of money on specialty foods, protein powders, organic, etc. so most of my meals are just regular-ole grocery store ingredients. I…

  • Feel free to add me as well! I am looking to lose 20 pounds overall. I have been using MFP for a month to track calories and haven't weighed myself, just trying to get into good habits. Next step for me is to squeeze time for exercise into my crazy busy day! Good luck and let's help motivate each other!!

  • I'm back for the second time as well. Last year I joined MFP and didn't keep it up successfully. This year so far I've logged in 8 days in a row! I'm hoping to lose about 20 pounds or so but fitting exercise into my day is the biggest challenge. So I'm trying to eat my calorie goal each day and log food so it becomes a…

    in Starting again Comment by DiChic74 January 2015
  • I am exactly like you! Just starting tracking calories 2 days ago mainly in an effort to see if I can make it on the recommended calorie limit and to help me be more aware of the food choices I am making so I can eat healthier. I have a 5 year old and work full-time so right now finding the time to exercise is challenging.…
