Well, it could be food poisoning... ... Or your body is probably just not used to such fatty/sweet food anymore. I can't eat beef or anything fried anymore without having stomach issues soon after. However, depending on your amount of pain, I'd check with a Doctor!

If you have a local Farmer's Market you'll likely pay a lot less for produce, deli and milk than you will at a regular grocery store. If you have an Aldi's Grocery store nearby, check it out! They have a nice variety of healthy items, a triple money back guarentee if you don't like anything you buy, and their food is…

I would err on the safe side and go for moderation and making smarter choices, ie buying/making healthier versions of the things you like. For instance I used to eat 2 bagels with way too much cream cheese for breakfast; now I'll have 1 whole wheat english muffin + 2 tblspon light cream cheese and maybe a banana and cup of…

I usually go for a small handful of nuts (1/2 serving), 1 cup of 2% milk if I haven't had any that day already, or wheat wafers + garlic cheese wedge. If I have it, I've found that watermelon is super filling - guessing because of the water content?

If I'm going to just be drinking milk by itself, I stick with 2% cow milk for sure. I'm not a big fan of the taste of almond milk. HOWEVER, almond milk tastes great in cereal - can't really tell a difference between that and cow milk!

I like to cut them into 4 sections (down the middle, then horizontally). I then load them with some peanut butter - usually less than 2 tablespoon per entire banana. Sandwich them together, bag 'em, and freeze 'em. They're a great snack and the texture is almost exactly like ice cream! ps - what works for me is to keep…

If you're eating all fat-free dairies like I was, I would at least switch to the low-fat variety. I was drinking almond and soy milk for a while and went back to 2% milk - not only do I actually ENJOY 2% milk, it doesn't come anywhere close to putting me too high in sugars, calories etc for the day. Also don't be afraid to…

I have never made a crepe in my life. I just wanted to post that when I read the title of this post, I thought it said "Creeps".... LOL

I agree with the OP. Before I started eating better, I would almost never feel hungry because I was eating all the time. Now I actually do feel hunger once or twice a day and I actually enjoy it, because it's a nice reminder that no I have not been stuffing my face all day like I used to! Also agree with the water. I've…

Over 100 lbs. I've only been eating right and working out for ~2 months so far.

If your heart rate isn't increasing while you're cleaning, then I doubt you're burning off too many extra calories (ie beyond what your body naturally burns throughout the day). I usually only log cleaning if I've done a lot of vacuuming and sweeping, and I adjust what MFP tells me down by a lot.

Shoprite Brand Fat Free Mayo. GROSS! Also, Silk Lite Soy Milk (please don't hate me soy milk lovers!) Ooh and I forgot plain greek yogurt. The only time I tried it plain was Fage, but wow did it leave a bitter aftertaste.

Mrs Dash No Salt is great! Also, you'd be surprised what a little black pepper, garlic powder or lemon juice can do.

^ This. I'm at 53g of sugar today and all of it is from dairy and fruit!

I usually have a greek yogurt, cup of almond milk and either oatmeal or some scrambled egg whites with mushroom... but lately I've been kinda bad and eating a light english muffin with lite cream cheese... so delicious!

I would just try to limit at as there are studies out there linking aspartame and high fructose corn syrup to all kinds of bad things. I tend to stick to splenda-sweetened soda when I do get it, but who knows, Splenda is probably bad for you too. Like everything else, I'd say it's all about moderation.

Although the small popcorn at some theater's are reasonable, I would check first. My local Regal Cinemas has a small popcorn with 29g of fat even without butter! Try raisins, berries, almonds/nuts, apples, granola bars and/or celery + peanut butter (get the to-go packs or just put in a small tupperware). I love being able…

I put it in under "Create an exercise" and used the equation that I found on livestrong.com and also elsewhere in MFP forums... to multiply your weight by 1.11 Of course a more accurate way to know your calories burned is to buy a heartrate monitor, but the weight x 1.11 seems to be the best estimation otherwise.

Here are some fun exercises for you: Frisbee Badminton Rollerskating Biking Walking/Hiking Tennis Workout videos from youtube (Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home is very easy for beginners, but still burns ~100 cal per mile)

There are lots of good workouts on YouTube. Right now I am doing Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home series (1 mile, 2 mile, 3 mile and 5 mile videos). Soon I'm going to start JM's 30 Day Shred. If you have a Five & Below near you, they have a nice little variety of weights from 1-5lb + ankle/wrist and hand weights... plus other…

Try green leaf lettuce or baby spring mix. I hated salads for most of my life and just recently realized it's just iceberg lettuce that I hate with a passion. I make salads with green leaf lettuce almost every day now and love them - I add almonds & chicken so that they're a little higher in calories too.

Exactly. This is why I made mine public as well

The bff and I started doing Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home series and are planning on starting the 30 day shred soon. We do this in the comfort of our living room. I will probably still go to the small gym in our apartment complex on occasion (free) but the cardio workouts on YouTube are much more fun than just doing cardio…

I did Leslie Sansone's 1 Mile Walk followed by her 2 mile walk today, it was great! I'm planning on doing her walks everyday for a week or so before trying JM's 30 Day Shred. BUMP for more ideas/suggestions for other cardio-machine haters out there

I think some of the best advice I've gotten so far is that if I feel hungry, try drinking some water first. Often you'll mistake thirst for hunger. If I'm still hungry, I'll go for carrots or a string cheese and usually that satisfies me. If all else fails, I'll get up and do some sort of activity (load of dishes, etc) and…

Egg whites (and the occasional yolk) Chicken Tuna Salads (green leaf lettuce = win) Cheese (usually laughing cow stuff or lite string cheese) Greek yogurt Carrots Almonds Bananas Oatmeal

I like oatmeal but I don't eat it every day. Often I'll just have a banana and greek yogurt if I'm running late, but otherwise I love to do scrambled eggs with salsa and/or mushrooms, plus turkey bacon on the side.

I'm right there with ya. I'm tired of feeling like I have to stay on one machine for 30 minutes or more to get any results. Youtube workout videos seems to be the way to go!

Thanks all! I just did the Leslie Sansone 1 Mile Walk at Home ... that was great!
