Feel Free to add me:happy:

Well I may be wrong but with MFP calculations you can eat your excercise calories back..takes that into account..where the other way you where describing...20% you don't eat them back. As far as whether the amount is right...hard to say don't know what your current weight is.

Well for me it is BREADS or anything flour based...sigh and too much sodium!!

I use truvia...love it ice tea...haven't baked with it tho and for some reason not a big fan of putting it in my coffee. I did just try some Blue Sky soda sweetened with truvia and it is good..tried cherry vanilla cream:drinker:

My husband and I try to eat foods that don't spike your bloodsugar ....low glycemic load foods. It has helped lower my husbands blood sugar numbers and seems to help with cravings and energy.We still eat carbs like fruit..veges..stay away from processed carbs.

Well, I usually grill different kinds of meat with enough leftovers for lunch, add some veges with it. If you have time to cook over the weekends or at night..I use low carb crock pot recipes. Cottage cheese..little fruit, I go to Trader Joes and buy their premade salads when I know I won't have a lot of time during my…

I am sorry you are having a hard time. PUPPIES are a hand full lol..my daughter has a three month old german shepard and she is like having to watch a two year old. Do you have a good support system? That helps a lot! Feel Free to add me as a friend:flowerforyou: Break ups suck..but keep focusing on yourself!! You don't…

Totally with you!

I am currently a BBW...will not be staying this way. But for now it is what I am and will love myself while I continue on my healthy lifestyle journey. Thank you OP for reaching out to others that may be at a similar place in their journey. Sometimes it is helpful to have friends who are at the same place as you in this…

No kidding..she is just trying to find gals that can relate...feel free to add me:-) Oh holy cow people! If you don't like the topic of the thread, just don't comment!! Good Grief!!!!!!!!!!! I think the OP just ment for this to be fun. Not to get her head bit off. Get over yourselves! [/quote]

First of all LOL..but COME ON YOU GUYS!! I'm at the other end of the other end of the rainbow..you GUYS did IT!! You should be so proud of yourself!

Ditto on previous post..maybe try to do some low impact every other day and weights in between. Good Luck!

Thanks! Appreciate the input!

Life it too short to eat cardboard..go for the good stuff but log log log oh yea and move move move:drinker:

I love that cereal! I don't have a sweet tooth but have you tried Fiber One Chocolate Cereal? 80 cals [/quote]

Feel free to add me:-)

No Kidding...what a jerk. What business is it to him.:noway:

Have the oreos if you really want them:happy: but any snack with protien will stay with you longer:drinker:

That's the ticket lol!

Your not alone! You have come to the right place for support. THE FIRST thing you need to do is stop feeling guilty and beating yourself up.As you can see I have a lot of weight to lose. It is overwhelming I know...baby steps. I have a modo...I don't eat food I don't like...BUT I log log log. it really helps you to see…

Thanks guys for your input:flowerforyou:

Thank you, what are macros?

I started 4 weeks ago...all I can say is this has to happen for me. I take one day at a time. The support and people on mfp are awsome.You are not alone...We can do this!!! Set small goals and don't get overwhelmed by the big picture:flowerforyou:

Sounds like water weight to me...how is your sodium intake...hot temps def have an effect on retaining water...time of the month???

WELCOME!! I joined MFP about a month ago and it has been great tool and support system. Plus it is FREE unlike WW!

Stabilize bars from Costco..sold in the nutrition/ beauty area. The come in mint chocolate or peanut butter...doesn't have a lot of crap in them. The mint chocolate chip taste like a girl scout cookie to me.

Well the good news is that you can count those hours on your feet at the Bistro!! and don't be so hard on yourself. If you are working late and eat what is available make sure you LOG your food and be aware of portion sixe and where you are at with your calorie intake. Good Luck:flowerforyou:

I believe if your sugars are coming from fruits and you are eating PROTIEN then no...there will be very little spike in your blood sugar. If you where eating white sugars daily and going over then that isn't so great, which your not so YIPPEE eat those strawberries.:drinker:

Well you have come to the right place..great people and lots of support:flowerforyou: Please feel free to add me as a friend.

I know!!! I was trying to figure out a lunch from fast food place (boo I know but was working) and I was horrified to see how much sodium is in these foods...sigh
