I'm doing a ketogenic diet so I set my own macros. I figured my macros by using a calculator on www.ruled.me I just use MFP to track and be sure I stay under calories, fat, carbs and get enough protein. I log exercise (walking) but I don't eat back those calories. I rarely come within 100-200 calories of my limit b/c I try…

I weigh daily to keep myself on track. Each morning on empty stomach/bladder. I currently average about half pound loss daily. In 19 days, I've lost 8 pounds. It's really whatever works for each individual. This works for me.

If you're eating a lot of carbs then that might be why your're hungry. Be sure you're getting enough protein and healthy fats (avocados are a great source of fat and fiber too). Fats help you feel fuller longer as well. I don't eat grains and I'm trying my best to cut sugar out too. I eat under 1300 calories and I'm never…

Wow, that is confusing. I think I've always look at the unpopped by mistake and count that as the serving, meaning I would think it's 540 calories but it's not if you use the "popped" calories which is 35/cup, 12 cups in the whole bag so it comes to 420 calories like you said. I skip all this mess and by the 100 calorie…

Hi there. I'm almost 46. I hit my highest about 2 years ago...209 lbs. I vowed to lose 50 pounds, lost 25 in about 3 1/2 months then nothing. I ended up gaining back 15 of that. I am now back down 11 pounds and counting. I'm 187, looking at 150 as my goal so I have about 37 left to go. Friend me if you want to. I'm always…

Some people just don't get that it's not just about the weight and how you look. I feel so much better when I'm eating healthy foods. My body reacts differently, no heart burn, more energy...not to mention my mood is better and I have a more positive outlook generally. People who don't want to change their lives will…

Hey there. I'm not from NY but Texas. At least we're in the same country :) I have a cousin who lives in NYC, upper west side. I love NYC...not ventured through NY state though :)

I struggle every day with food too! It is constant battle against what I crave and what I should eat. However, I find that if I continue to eat lean proteins, whole grains and lots of veggies, I don't crave the bad stuff quite so often. Also, you can have treats, you just have to be sure they are within your calorie range.…

I read someone's reply about making "Mason Jar Salads" and I made some up on Sunday for this week's lunches...even made four smaller ones for my husband and I to split as side salads for dinner. I did a basic salad, vinigrette dressing, grape tomatoes, sweet peppers, cucumber, carrots, deli turkey meat and baby greens. So…

I eat salads every day for lunch. I'm all about shortcuts so I start with the pre-packaged organic sweet leafy greens from Central Market (I live in Central Texas so HEB and Central Market both carry this). It's a huge container and lasts me the entire week, even with using for some dinners as well. Each morning, I slice 1…

Well I am on the slow and steady route myself...goal of 1 pound per week. Trying to lose 2 pounds a week for me was just setting myself up for failure b/c I'd have to take in 1200 cal per day and work out 5-6 times per week. I may get there at some point, but I want to succeed so I set the bar a bit lower...I started out…

I too am impatient and want to see the weight come off instantly, but I have to realize that slow and steady wins the race...so slow and steady I go. I started about a month ago with just counting calories and eating lost of lean meat and fruits and vegetables. I eat tuna on salads for lunch at least 3 times a week for the…

Congratulations! You look great!!
