I had an issue with cheating when I was young (teens/early 20s). It first happened when I was 18. For awhile there I thought I was broken. I'm 33 now, and in retrospect, it's easy to see the reasons that factored into it. I acted out because of prior abuse (that occurred at 13/14 years old), I confused lust with love…

I started with MFP in 2013 at 309 lbs. I understand how shocking it is to see a number that high on the scale. In my first year, I lost 75 lbs. By November 2015, I had lost more than half my body weight and reached my goal of 150 lbs. YOU CAN DO THIS! There are so many wonderful supportive people here, some who are on the…

I don't dislike it, but I like spinach a lot more so that's what I choose to buy/prepare at home.

I have a glass of wine a few nights a week and occasionally have a beer or two, and like anything else if you keep track of the calories as others have stated, you will lose weight just fine. I've been in maintenance for 3 years and lost over 150 lbs before hitting my goal.

Yuck Dark chocolate

Daily, first thing in the AM after using the bathroom. I'm in maintenance, and it gives me peace of mind that I'm still on track. Or, if I do notice an upward trend, to reign it back in.

<-- bisexual who has lost over 160lbs with MFP Any fellow LGBT+ people are welcome to add me, as well as anyone else who just needs support <3

I am still maintaining! I've been staying between 140-145 lbs :)

Thank you everyone yet again. I'm still trucking along and have now lost a total of 168 lbs, and weigh 141. Lifestyle, not a diet! If I can do it, anyone can :)

If she wants more disposable income, is there a reason SHE can't make more money?

I love my morning coffee, I always look forward to it when I wake up. I usually also have an extra cup in the afternoon on work days.

This is exactly how I feel about it. It's important to know your own limits. For me, having a family size bag of bbq chips in my house has a stronger effect on my resolve than indulging while on vacation.

Yes you should. I think allowing yourself breaks for things like vacation are part of having a sustainable diet. I allow myself to indulge pretty much as much as I want for vacations and occasionally at family get togethers, and I've lost 162 lbs. If you are dedicated 90% of the time, the 10% doesn't matter. Edit: I will…

SW: 309, size 24 CW: 148, size 8 Started losing weight in Feb 2013 and I have been maintaining between 145-150lbs for 7 months.

They are fine and really do help stay on track of calorie intake (especially as a quick lunch vs. getting some fast food). The Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers are my go-to frozen meals, but I still get Lean Cuisine regularly too because they are usually less expensive. The higher sodium is easy to balance out if you are just…

Any cop that ever pulls you over any time would have that same info. Why does him giving you his number make you feel like that elevates his...threat level? If he was giving off some bad/uncomfortable vibes beyond that however, I could understand your paranoia. Asking for more details about his strong reaction is not…

Being pulled over is nerve-wracking, that's for sure. And I don't disagree that leaving his number was unprofessional, but calling it traumatic? I feel like you must have never experienced an actual trauma to call something like this traumatic. As for me wondering about the homosexuality factoring in, it's simply because I…

The idea of reporting him seems over the top to me. If he had acted unprofessional beyond leaving his number then I might see cause to do so, but it sounds like he was polite. I'd hardly call anything about this encounter "sexual harassment" like another poster did. I'm curious why OP had such a strong reaction to this?…

Since when is there a curfew for getting mail and jogging? I often get home from work after 10pm, is that too late for me to get my mail or did I make the cut? Back on point though, this thread is baffling. At first I thought the OP was just being patently absurd but then it occurred to me that maybe her paranoia is coming…

I use a teaspoon of sugar and a tablespoon of creamer, so one cup is between 30-60 calories. Used to use Stevia or Splenda instead of sugar but stopped doing that about 6 months ago.

Yum Pistachios

Never had an issue with Walmart avocados. I usually get the bags of Hass avocados and they've always been great and exactly the same in flavor as what I've gotten at Publix and Trader Joe's

Greek yogurt, there are so many tasty varieties in the 80-100 calorie range
