Feel Free to add me..Im right there with you:bigsmile:

Hello, I am joined MFP 85 days ago. Even though I am not seeing results I want I am determined to stick with it!! Great people on here that give great support! Feel free to add me as a friend if you need extra support:flowerforyou:

WOO HOO AWSOME!!!

Thanks everyone for your input:bigsmile:

Right there with you. I find that moving in an activity that you enjoy is the key...for example I like tennis, walking and swimming. For the times where you are doing traditional exercise having an IPOD with music that makes you MOVE is essential in my book!!!

That is a hard one. I know there are groups on here that address BINGE eating, not sure if that is what you mean. I know that when I cut out sugars for awhile ALOT of my cravings and impulses went away. It is hard and the key is to plan ahead and made sure that I had snacks and desserts on hand that I made with splenda…

Feel free to add me!!

I agree, I try to stick with what MFP recommends for calories..knowing that if I am extra hungry that day they are there. I also think MFP is a little too generous on how many calories burned during exercise...I need to get a HR monitor and compare to...so for now I cut in half what MFP says I burn:smile:

I hear you!!! I try to track the best I can and plan exercise's to work some of it off. Also even though I don't eat back my exercise calories (not sure why I don't since MFP says you can) I use them as a cushion for the weekend it I need to.

That is frustrating. Can you bring food with you while you work in the lab? If not you can only do the best you can do..eat what is nearby but still track it. This to shall pass:bigsmile:

SIGH..why don't POPTARTS taste the same as when I was a kid:sad: Love the attitude!

WOW..I haven't had time to check this post but THANKS guys for keeping it up. I hope everyone is having a great week! I have been dealing with hot weather and my body is not liking it at all..no energy..major water retention YUCK! Not sure why I am having this issue all of the sudden hopefully I will adjust soon. I have…

I don't like stevia in my coffee or baking..bitter taste..wish I did so I use splenda for coffee and baking.

SIGH...such a controversial topic...I would love to say that eating organic sugars and honey etc is the way to go and maybe it is for a lot of people.BUT for me the calories add up too fast. I use TRUVIA in my ice tea and BLUE SKY makes some pretty good sodas with TRUVIA...I also use splenda in my coffee and for baking. I…

:laugh: RIGHT??? Doesn't make any sense!!

For me finding MFP was a life saver and so easy to log your food! Also having a good support system. Feel Free to add me as a friend:happy:

Great weekend so far!! Hope everyone is doing well!

UUUGGHHH, I understand where your coming from. I try to plan ahead for chain restaurants, but the sodium is ridiculous. I also go to one of my favorite stores..trader joes and they have a lot of already premade meals..so if it is in the fridge we just grab that:drinker:

WONDERFUL PACIFIC NORTHWEST...COEUR D ALENE, ID

IM WITH YOU ON THAT ONE! Love Napoleon Dynamite. Just about any line from Napoleon Dynamite. That movie is so stupid but oh so funny! [/quote]

WOW there are so many "KEEP THE CHANGE YOU FILTHY ANIMAL" Home Alone "IS RUSTY STILL IN THE NAVY?" Christmas Vacation

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend:flowerforyou:

I find that if I put crushed ice in my cup, it is easier to drink more:happy:

Thanks for the info...so how much water where you drinking a day to do this?

Hope everyone is having a good week! One thing I need to work on is my sodium intake! I can't believe how much sodium is in Restaraunt Foods!! Anyone have any good tips to flush out too much sodium?

Absolutely INSPIRING...:happy:

ME too!! MFP has been a life saver!!

I would think if you entered those numbers then that should be correct amount to start from and if you aren't seeing results make some adjustments. Feel Free to add me as a friend..support is very important :flowerforyou: 340 LBs, 5'8 and I work out 3 times a week. I'm also a server so I work a job where I'm constantly on…

Well for me all I can say is DONT diet...My plan is to follow MFP calorie guidelines and MOVE:bigsmile: So far I don't feel deprived..if I want something I eat it and COUNT it. I do try to watch sodium, bread and sugar intake for other health reasons. Good Luck!
