Me too! I don't log my calories any more and I only weigh myself maybe once a month... I've been able to maintain a 118 pound weight loss! I am so glad I stopped logging every bite that I would take, it got too extreme

I experienced this as well... I had to stop counting my calories and weighing my food. I stopped using MFP to count calories in March, and it was one of the things that helped me to overcome my anxiety with eating. The thought of going back to weighing everything before it goes into my mouth gives me anxiety, and I am so…

I love fruit, so I eat lots of it! If you like fruit, eat it. Simple as that, we don't need to complicate things :)

Don't feel bad - Enjoy them!

There's plenty that are not 1000 calories... find one... eat it... Enjoy... Done!

You're restricting too much - either mentally (by saying that you cannot/must not have certain foods) or physically (by not eating enough calories). Your body is trying to revolt against you, because you are denying it.

I do not want to be complimented on my weight loss!!! There's more interesting things to talk about than my weight. :laugh:

Pork Roast, roasted veggies, and homemade pork gravy... MmmmmmmMmmmm

Thanks for sharing, I think it was definitely worth sharing!! I loved reading this and hearing your story... great job with your progress :flowerforyou: I agree with you that weighing food and adding up every single calorie is not something I want to do for the rest of my life. I have been seriously considering switching…

What about making a salsa? Salsas with fruit in it (such as mango or peach) are a big hit and are a little bit of a twist compared to regular salsa. Plus salsa tends to be low cal!

I've never concerned myself with the carbs in cereal, mainly because I don't look at carbs in general... but I've been eating cereal throughout my entire weight loss and I love it! Cereal is awesome! Lately I have been loving chocolate cheerios, multi-grain cheerios... However I usually like to go for cereals with high…

I cut out carbonated drinks for a couple months and didn't notice anything noticeable in regards to weight loss... when I started drinking them again and didn't notice any undesirable effects either.. :drinker:

I've gone through a week of holidays in Florida.. and another week of family festivities... These two combined have shown a 9.5lb increase on the scale. Am I worried? No. I got back into routine today.. and I remember that most of that increase is because of water. And I smile because I know I enjoyed all the delicious…

Costco has some great exercise pants. And honestly, danskin brand from wal-mart are great too! I own a couple pairs of lululemon pants, but I usually just wear them to sleep in, or wear them to class. For some reason I cringe at the thought of drenching a $100+ pair of pants in sweat :laugh:

Mmmmm sounds delicious!! I love dipping graham crackers into my oikos vanilla greek yogurt and it tastes just like a dessert to me too :)

Whipped short bread cookies, family, homemade stuffing, and some sort of spa package for two so I can bring my momma :heart:

YUM :love:

Powerful!

From the moment I wake up to the time I go to sleep, I log it all under the same day, even if it is 4 am when I go to sleep.

I eat when I get hungry... might be right when I wake up, 30 min later, or even 3 hours later!

If I want a diet pop, I'll have one!! I probably have 4-6 a week The only time I won't drink it, is if I'm going to bed soon after, because that damn caffeine keeps me up :laugh:

Onion rings... Reeses pieces Sonic blast... anything peanut butter... pull n peels... lemon square with shortbread bottom Oh!! And the huge costco froyo!! YUM! Now I am hungry :laugh:

The last time I was at a Chinese buffet was in February and I can say I got my money's worth from Chinese donuts alone!!! hahaha, I went to a pizza buffet in August and definitely got my fair share of food. It was oh so bad but oh so delicious :love: I try not to go to buffets often, but once and awhile is fine by me

For me, this sounds like trouble!! 650 cals Monday-Thursday would set me up for a bad binge weekend because I would be depriving myself for four days. Don't rush weight loss, and don't make yourself miserable by only eating 650 cals a day!!!! Stick to the 1250 everyday, rather then doing low calorie days like that. 1250…

It takes me about an hour after a workout for me to feel hungry! Completely normal :wink:

In college here too! I love granola bars, especially the Nature Valley crunchy ones. Do you at least have access to a fridge? Get some greek yogurt, I LOVE it... get the vanilla greek yogurt, some graham crackers, and dip the graham crackers into the yogurt!! So satisfying. Or even just get any flavor greek yogurt in an…

Just shows you that people make comments when you are bigger AND when you are smaller... People just like to hear themselves talk sometimes, just leave it at that. :laugh:

Scrambled egg whites with bacon and onion, with a drizzle of ketchup made into a burrito with a garlic flat out and maybe some cheddar cheese... All with a side of red grapes and baby carrots. :love:

Their lean burgers are good... and they have a Parmesan sauce that is great!! Salad dressings are good. Their turkey meat balls are really good too... I wasn't a big fan of their stuffed chicken or the chicken meatballs though. Overall they carry a lot of great blue menu items that taste good. :smile:
