I think something a lot of people don't realize is that "low fat" is NOT the same as "low calorie". I think people assume that if something is "low fat" then it is a healthier option when that is not always the case.

I've lost 13 pounds as of today and just took my second round of measurements. Even though I haven't noticed any changes like my clothes fitting different or anything I have lost 3 inches in both my waist and hips. I think the changes are just subtle and therefore not easily seen with the naked eye...but I definitely…

Thank you everyone!!! =)

Good Idea! Thank you!! :happy: Now why couldn't I have thought of that...lol.

I saw that page. It is also just for an individual side, not a large order. But thank you anyway =)

I do but I looked on the bottom to see if it had the volume listed (cause some do) but no luck =(

LOVE IT!!! :happy:

I've never tried it but I know they make a "spray in" waterless shampoo...perhaps that might be an option. Or perhaps baby shampoo? Maybe it will be gentler.

That's awesome!!!!

I had trouble with some abbreviations to so I asked/suggested...here's a link to that post: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/290710-mfp-terms-dictionary

I actually lol'd on this one :laugh:

So I'm not the only one! I always look at the box in the store and my inner monologue is as follows: "OOOHHH!!! Captain Crunch! I haven't had that in so long! But...wait...do I really feel like having a sore mouth until the box is gone? No...I don't. Dammit. I guess I'll get Cheerios again" You'd think after all these…

I had homemade food that someone else made a couple weekends ago and so I totally understand the problem now. I didn't wanna ask "so how exactly did you make these? think you could give me the recipe so I know exactly hoe unhealthy this is for me?" lol. If ever I have something like that that I can't find a comparable item…

If you made them yourself you could just use the recipe tool/calculator to come up with an approx number

I do eat cereal although not usually for breakfast. I don't have the time to sit down and eat so I take my breakfast on the go. Cereal as a desert however is absolutely amazing!!! I often crave something cold and sweet at night and I used to satisfy that with ice cream. Now however I eat cereal. Since I'm not eating it as…

I also have the app for my phone. I order what I want but will see if it can be done as a half size. I also will usually order one of my side dishes as a salad (not additional, but as one of the sides) so that it's a healthier option for a side and has some filling effects prior to the main portion of the meal. And lastly,…

Actually there are some effects. For example, when I first stopped drinking Mountain Dew (I drank at least an entire liter bottle a day) I had a headache for about a week from the caffeine withdraw. No, not every food is going to give you withdraw symptoms but some can. And as far as if I feel it is a legitimate addiction?…

I have a polar ft4 and it works well for me. I know it doesn't monitor the calories I burn 24 hours a day but here is how I see it....the calories I burn on an everyday basis i was burning before i started this and i'll burn long after i reach my goal. If I were to count the calories I burn while at work as well as while…

Good Luck! =)

I am a complete lover of Wii Zumba Fitness...I absolutely love it and its fun =)

OMG! That is just ridiculous.

I got a Polar FT4 from Sport's Authority and it was $89.99. Just used it for the first time too =)

One of my favorite finds is the Walmart brand fudgecicles (and possibily other ones too, I just usually buy the walmart ones cause of price). The satisfy my late-night-i-want-something-cold-and-chocolate cravings for only 65 calories!

I had several smaller moments that lead up to mine. I have always been on the heavy side. My entire family is on the heavy side. We all know that we need to do something about it but no one seems to actually get up and do it. I joined MFP a while ago and I'd log my food for a week or so and then I'd have a bad day and give…

My boyfriend asked me once "Why do all these people nowadays sing about Sharlene? Who is she and what makes her so special?" I wasn't sure what he meant so he clarified "You know, like in that song...Sharlene's like a melody in my head" I about died when I realized what he meant.

this morning i cut back on the whole milk and equal, using less than i usually do. but i also added just a smidge of hershey's cocoa powder, the natural unsweetened stuff, about a teaspoon for estimates sake. and it's really good! tastes like something from a coffee shop!

how do i add my morning coffee to my diary? do i just add each item separate? and slightly off topic but i didn't see the need for starting a whole new thread....coffee tends to give me heartburn (i know not good but i just can't help myself...i love the stuff. but i usually only have half a mug full anyway), so, that…
