I wish that would work for me. I can never stop at one bite. It's just too delicious! The best I've managed is to make a batch of cookies or brownies, eat one serving, set one aside for later and take the rest to work to foist off on my skinny co-workers. Maybe if I can fatten them up while I slim down we can meet in the…

This is the first group I've actively participated in, does that count? ;) Welcome, k_nicole87 and hello to everyone! I haven't ever had someone try to coach me, I think I kind of have the opposite problem feeling like I'm all alone sometimes. There's something to be said for self-sufficiency, but a little encouragement…

Laziness. I used to wonder if I'm fat because I'm lazy or lazy because I'm fat. Kind of a chicken/egg dilemma. ;)

I'm with oboeing! I do so well during the week and it tends to fall apart on the weekend when I spend so much time at home with readily available snacks. Then again, sometimes I also have the problem of doing well for breakfast/lunch and then things unravel from dinner onward, when I'm tired, don't feel like cooking, etc.…

I like turkey burgers (season well with salt/pepper and a dash of worchestershire) and make taco-seasoned turkey meat for tacos, burritos and taco salads. If you have a slow cooker you can use it to cook chicken breasts for shredding, which is good for all sorts of things. You can also sometimes find chicken sausage at…

Leftovers. :) With that said, I second the breakfast suggestions. It doesn't take much effort to fry or scramble an egg and make toast. Sometimes I graze. An apple, some reduced fat cheese, some nuts, maybe some raw veggies. Hummus with veggies/pretzels, whatever I have on hand. It helps to have it pre-measured in the…

Almond butter? Cashew butter? Any nut butter would probably work. Unless you're allergic to all nuts, in which case... I've got nothing.

My favorite breakfast right now is an apple, sliced in half with the seeds scooped out and the hollow filled with peanut butter (1 Tbsp each half) and granola (1 Tbsp each half). It's fast, filling, and tasty! Not too hard to eat on the go either.

Very informative post, but it just makes me wonder all the more why my MFP daily sugar goal is 37, when my daily calorie goal is 1870. I haven't been paying a whole lot of attention to it as long as my carbs are under control. (I'm diabetic, so I keep an eye on them.) I try to eat 2-3 servings of (whole) fruit per day,…

I find that when I'm drinking an adequate amount of water, I don't have the capacity to add much on top of it. Get a water bottle and keep it with you during the day. Know how much is in it and how many times you have to empty it to get your 8 cups. It's not too difficult if you can manage 2 cups with breakfast, lunch and…
