Do you like tomatoes? I have been buying cherry tomatoes to eat as a snack because I'm a muncher and I like to eat something that I can continuously have without having to portion control (unlike, say, peanuts).

I love their cherry tomatoes. I can eat almost the whole container in one sitting (but I don't). Any of their produce that's on sale is wonderful - though check the expiration/best by date because some of them are a bit older. The only thing I haven't liked is their Greek yogurt - I like Dannon Oikos and Aldi's just isn't…

Not ordering soda! I didn't really drink it at home, but when I went out to eat, I would usually get a coke. Now I only order water (if I want a drink of soda I steal a sip from my husband).

Depends on the day... If I have homemade (whole wheat) bread, I'll have a slice of that with fresh ground peanut butter and some honey drizzled on top (so good, so filling)... If I have plain yogurt, I'll eat that with (thawed) frozen fruit and a little honey mixed in... If I'm in a hurry I'll usually have a hard boiled…

I put my calorie goal lower than it needs to be because I know I'm not weighing everything or measuring as accurately as I should.

I'm at day 381 - I was super excited to hit one year, but I'm going out of town in August and I won't be logging on then.

I usually try for a subway when I'm traveling and get the apple slices as well - it works because I don't really like their chips! I agree that grocery stores will often have a decent selection of prepared foods. When eating out, I try to plan ahead and check out the menu before I leave the house (or on my phone!). Knowing…

Awesome! I just started c25k yesterday, so I hope to get to a full mile one day soon!

I'm about to download the app... However, I really hate running/ jogging. I did a 5k in just over 45 min a couple of years ago (no training, oops) and I hated it, but I really need to work on my cardio... So here I am (assuming I don't chicken out)

There are tons of workout videos online for free (eg., youtube) - you can look for "no equipment needed" videos specifically. Find one (or several) that you think will be motivating for you and make a schedule! I find I won't work out if I don't plan for it or if it's one of those videos where they yell at you or encourage…

I so agree with this - Cereal, packaged sweets (most of the time), soda... I used to drink a bottle of coke every day, now I have a few sips maybe once a week? Fast food (even the "healthier" kinds) makes me feel terrible now! I definitely still have pasta though... but I try to go whole grain, so at least I'm getting some…

Thanks, I'll check youtube!

I will say it's been rather depressing recently, realizing that I actually should be eating at a lower cal than I had previously set - I got to the top of my +/- 5 lbs after Christmas, and realized that I had been eating at a lower cal rate and constantly being "under" my goal, but during Christmas time, I ate to the top…

Carrots! Not as low cal as some, but I can munch on them easily!

Baby carrots!! I could eat those all day - and I'm a muncher so it's super helpful when I just want to eat ANYTHING

Not ordering soda at restaurants. I never really have any at my house, but I used to drink soda every time I ate out. Now I almost exclusively order water. When I do crave soda, I end up only drinking about half of it and not wanting the rest. Usually, I'll steal a sip of my husband's soda if I want any and that's enough…

Chicken gnocchi soup from Olive Garden - so good! Worth the extra sodium

I usually eat over, but try not to make it too much - usually I just eat more chocolate or chips of some kind... This time it was ice cream!

Cinnabon was a heartbreaker :'( Peanut butter (I think I still lie to myself about portion size there) Nutella... It actually surprised me how few calories marshmallows have! Seeing as they're basically just puffed up sugar, I can have one or two and be satisfied (as opposed to other sweets where I'll eat the whole bag)

OMG The first time I looked up a Cheesecake Factory slice, I almost DIED. Their anniversary cheesecake was over 2000 for one slice!

Thanks for the help!

5th year teacher here in middle school. Some days I can walk right past the snacks in work room... other days I'm giving out candy in my class and sneak a few (handfuls) for myself... Feel free to add me! I'm logging every day.

Cinnamon raisin English muffin and coffee with hazelnut creamer - pretty much what I have every day give or take

I've been here a while and plan on sticking around! Add me if you want ☺

CHEESE. Tacos (with or without a shell/tortilla - but always with cheese) Sweets (mostly chocolate in various forms)

If you have the Bible app, you can search for a reading plan called "12 Days of Healthy Christmas" that might motivate you! You can set a reminder to read it each day. Feel free to add me if you'd like :)

I had a cookie for breakfast because someone brought them into work... Christmas season is the worst!

The best plan I've found is to plan ahead. I preload anything I know I'll be eating (I shop for the week, so I know what I'm eating for each meal) and then I can use up my extra calories without feeling like I'll have to skip dinner!

Nutella... Goldfish... Homemade baked goods (because it's only hubs and me and otherwise they'll go bad, of course)...

I had this problem after Halloween - we had so much leftover candy! It was horrible, and I had to work it into my calories until it was all gone. It does help to have it out of sight (not sitting in a bowl on the table), but I just can't have it in my house at all if I don't want to eat it.
