i recently started buying greek yogurt because I was also hearing from so many people how great it is...plus great for you. I was worried that because it was PLAIN yogurt that it would be gross...but because I am a total sour cream addict....it is awesome! I use it to replace where I would normally eat sour cream (taco…

im in the same boat as you are. food, calories, etc. ive been at stand still for about a year....gets me mad as heck.....up cals for a period of time, then start over, thats the advice i keep getting, so think i will try it out! :)

i was a "breakfast skipper" until i ended up in the emergency room at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN..... finding out i was hypoglycemic, and was told by multiple physicians, "SKIPPING THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY (BREAKFAST) CAN LEAD TO DIABETES, EITHER START EATING BREAKFAST FROM THIS DAY ON, OR I WILL MORE THAN…

I started at 530am and work til 2pm....im bored outta my mind...BUT in my occupation, that is a VERY good thing! :) Hope youre all having a wonderful day! im counting down the hours (3 hr 44 min) til i get out, then its off to the gym! :)

sounds great!

please add me.....:) i need some support...and im not talking just in my bra! :blushing:

awesome read!!! i go through the same crap at work and at home, with family and friends. noticed lately, since im down to the last few pounds i want to lose that people can be such jealous jerks! "oh, is eating that tomato gonna make u gain weight" "have a donut, it wont kill you" "youre getting so thin, are you anorexic,…

thanks for your comments everyone..... starting monday i think im going to switch to veggies for snacks instead of fruit and see if it helps. fruit is always my choice for snack, because of the "sweet" its much better than a Snickers :)

the only fruits i usually have are apples or bananas. i like to chose fruits instead of junk on my breaks...but like you stated, im almost beter off, with my weight, to have a cookie instead! its frustrating!

i started using this site, weighing in at 151lbs, now i am 128. i weigh every day and every night before bed...some may call this obsessive...i call it staying on track. it helps me figure out what foods cause "water weight", how my "cheat day" effects weight..etc. i think whatever works for you if what is best. i myself…

cant wait to try this i could eat a whole jar of p.b. with a spoon......love it! thanks for sharing

i agree since ive been drinking more water and actually keepind track of how much, along with drinking out of a straw, ive noticed im not as hungry and snacking on things i shouldnt or eating when im not really hungry.... good luck to you

looks like i can have my "birthday cheesecake" after all....going to get the ingredients for these in the morning :) thanks for sharing :)

my husband wont even think about cutting calories, working out at the gym (but he did when i first met him...once!) he has such high triglycerides the lab cant get a number, his cholesterol is high, blood pressure is high, always has headaches, lives on fast food and energy drinks, and doesnt drink enough water..........…

i woul love to see/have more recipes...seems like im always looking for healthy, low cal, low fat..or something in that order while im on-line, but so many recipes have ingredients that are either very expensive, ive never heard of, or i cant find in the store... so, yes, please post, or send me some..i would greatly…

have you made these??? are they as good as they sound??? yummm....i could eat pizza everyday...(as i once did in my "bigger body" life).... i think these are gonna be for supper! thanks for sharing..

hopefully your local grocery store or wal=mart will carry these, they are my new favorite thing.... eight grain or whole wheat pocket breads- i think they are around 100-110 calories, i fill them with fresh spinach, mustard, and ground turkey or chicken breast for lunch or supper. breakfast i make scrambled egg whites, add…

if you can find it where you live.... cookie-dough flavored vodka and diet cream soda cake flavored vodka and LIGHT cranberry juice or diet 7up or diet coke there are recently a bunch of different flavored vodka's out...my sister likes the "gummy vodka"..personally im not a huge fan of anything too sweet, as this one…

i was finding myself upset also, because i love fruits, and along with fruit comes the dreaded sugar! i was trying to keep track of sodium, sugar, carbs, calories, fat.... this week i have finally came to conclusion, trying to count all those numbers and worrying about seeing the negative red at the end of the day was…

i recently purchased zumba 2, i have used it twice in the past month.... it can be fun, but having a small living room to Zumba in.... doesnt work out so well! i know alot of people love it, i just get frustrated with it, because i sometimes cant figure out exactly what steps they are doing, i find myself making up my own…

i stay away from creamer ever since a doctor told me "that's powdered cancer youre adding to your coffee"...this was a physician at the Mayo clinic i worked with.... try adding skim milk if you need "creamer" and maybe try splenda instead of sugar. im trying to cut coffee out of my daily routine, i drink atleast 2+ POTS of…

Whipped vodka (tastes like whipped cream) or try the "cake" flavored vodka, i usually mix with diet 7up, light cranberry juice, or diet coke Budweiser beer the 55 calorie (tastes kinda watery though) As previously mentioned though, most beers (ex: michelob golden light and coors) both have 100+ calories, try to stay away…

i cut in half, scoop out seeds, place face down on cookie sheet, bake about an hour or until you can pierce the "skin" with fork. I add small amount (maybe a tablespoon) of butter, then sprinkle on parmesan cheese... spaghetti squash has a "different" taste, i have found in my family of 6, either you like it or hate it..2…

i did the same thing (fyi: alcohol makes you crave food..usually junk) Anyhow, i try to stay away from alcohol, just because it makes me angry the next morning due to "munching" while drinking.... i would suggest today drinking lots of water, grilled cheese is also my favorite, but the sodium will move the numbers on the…

awesome!!! i also know that feeling....its like you have to step on a few additional times to make sure its reading the right number!!! Congrats to you....maybe a shopping trip to reward yourself is required :) Keep up the awesome work!

sounds like a good thing to me.... i probably started at 1500 also....i was always under though, so changed it.... most important thing is to do what works for you...i'd try the 1500 for a while and shoot from there..

im also 5'7 1/2"..when i started on here i was 150lb, ive always been at 1200cal/day, fluctuate between 1-1.5 loss per week as a goal.... i've kinda gone with what it sets me at, as far as calories...just watch sodium levels, make sure youre drinking enough water, and dont go under calories thinking you'll drop weight…

before i joined MFP i also felt the same (somewhat)...after friends on here gave me pointers, i starting doing better....here's a few tips: 1) eat breakfast! 2) drink water, lots of it 3) STOP wearing those lounge pants, put jeans on, or tighter pants to "remind" you of your weight 4) small portions, more meals (eat every…

thanks for the idea... think i'll watch mine a bit more.... i have noticed, it doesnt matter what you eat...things are loaded with sodium. even the foods you think dont have much in them!

what is a "normal" sodium intake/daily? i guess MFP set mine to 2400 and i try to stay under that the best i can... i check sodium in everything now, and try to stay away from it...
