A staple for me is a meal of 2% cottage cheese, rotisserie or grilled chicken breast, and a Kale Superfood salad from Costco. It comes in at 450-600 calories depending on portion size, is easy, and makes me feel full for a long time.

Cottage cheese as a dip for Doritos. I also like cottage cheese and Doritos in a lunchmeat sandwich. Cole slaw on a chicken sandwich. Hm, I just realized I need to find some more adventurous food combos.

What I do about pizza is go out to the pizza buffet once a week. I have a salad and then gorge myself on as much pizza as I want. The slices are small, about 250-300 calories each. I started out at 8 slices, and now usually 5-6. It's great! You don't take home any leftovers, you eat all the pizza you want, and depending on…

I don't know if this is common or not, but I disliked exercise long before I became overweight. If you're not at all into being ambitious or competitive, it's hard to get the motivation to push yourself to do it. I got the motivation because I needed to lose a lot of weight, but being heavy just made it a lot more…

150, my goal weight, and no longer overweight by the BMI chart--13 pounds to go! If I can make it through Thanksgiving, I can make it all the way. Best of luck to everyone!

I use a fit & fresh container that has a large bin and two one-cup containers with an ice block in between. I alternate superfood salad with cole slaw or kale salad in the lower bin, and in the upper ones alternate cottage cheese, mushrooms, Greek yogurt, rotisserie chicken, deli lunch meat, nuts, granola. I keep this in a…

I don't know about the OP, but I am ready to don a bikini after reading FitCanuckChick's story. Great story! Thank you for sharing.

70 calorie creamsicles. Not that that helps you tonight : ) You can have a big spoonful of honey or a square of dark chocolate.

I LOVE my One! I would highly recommend the One over the Flex as it counts stairs and gives you detailed stats on the go (time, steps, calories burned, miles walked). I use it as a watch and stopwatch often, and I love the silent alarm. It's the first alarm clock that's ever worked for me. I think the Flex also has the…

I struggle with hunger so much! I feel your pain. One thing that has helped me a lot is fasting until 12:00 noon every day I can manage it. I find that if food is just not an option, I can put it out of my mind and quit thinking about it. Eating a little makes me want a lot more, so I start my eating with something as…

a five-gallon bottle of water or average human leg, plus a guinea pig! ew!

I am curious about this too. Here's what I think, but I am still a little confused about the activity levels: If you set your daily activity to active based on the commute but then also log the commute, you'll overeat I think. So you're saying that you'll burn 2100 a day, for example, when sedentary would only be 1700, and…

I am not blessed with a big butt--wish I was. I noticed when I accidentally tried the curvy fit Eddie Bauer jeans, they actually sagged in the hip area because I didn't have enough butt to pull them out. They would probably look hot on you.

I plan to lose 55-70 pounds total (depending on how I look and feel at the 55 pound mark) and have lost 37 so far, beginning in mid-March. I have definitely had ups and downs--days when I ate just the nutrient rich foods to fit my macros and exercised for two or more hours being the high points, and days when I went to a…

If you don't mind the chemicals of artificial sweeteners and just don't happen to like the taste or aftertaste, try wyler's or another brand of lite lemonade. I can't taste any difference between it and regular lemonade. I've given it to guests who could not tell it was a diet drink. Also, it's very cheap. Regular coffee,…

A lot of people on MFP have had success with videos like 30 day shred and Ripped in 30. They take minimal time.

Overall I would say ri30 is more advanced, and I'm glad I did 30ds first. I finished 30ds on schedule and started ri30 a couple of weeks later. I thought the beginning stages of 30ds were more intense than the beginning stages of ri30. In fact, when I started ri30, I remarked that it was easy. However, when I got to week 3…

#2 seems more flattering, especially from behind, and is plainer. #1 looks a little futuristic to me.

I couldn't tell if all of those who are against 1200 were against it if it was the total or if it was the net. I have been trying to net 1200 but eat back all exercise calories and have been exercising for a minimum of 30 minutes and usually more like 50 each day, with some days even more, so the total intake varies from…

Wedges are a lot more comfortable and I think more appropriate for a summer wedding. You don't want to sink into grass! Land's end has some really cute wedge espadrilles, and I want to mention I have never gotten more compliments on a pair of shoes than the hush puppies renown floral wedges--good if you have a solid color…

Try it if you want to! I grew up vegetarian and still eat mostly vegetarian meals, though I include all types of meat in my diet when the mood hits me. If you're trying to ease yourself into it, a good Indian cookbook would be a good investment because most of the foods are tasty and hearty but meat-free. You might even…

Bacon, mushroom, and gouda is my favorite. Sometimes I add a hot pepper cheese in the mix.

I don't know if the one day posted is representative of what you usually eat, but it looks like my first days on MFP. You went over by 350 calories, nearly all of which you could account for with the honey, coffee sweetener, sweetener in the yogurt, and frozen sweetened yogurt. I have a sweet tooth too! I had to…
