grams to mL only works with water.

If it is a bagged salad it will include a portion of all the contents. If it is a menu item it usually does NOT include the extras (dressing, croutons, etc.) so it always best to ask.

I have found large discrepancies, especially with chunky foods like blackberries, miniwheats, grape tomatoes, walnuts, olives, etc. They are also allowed to round the calories down, so I always round them back up. So I will weigh my cereal, then round up to the nearest 5.

Woot! Good for you!

I make a small portion and eat it. You could do an iced pumpkin latte with real ingredients, that way minimal sugary syrup, and you could control the type and strength of the coffee.

I'm Canadian. We love maple syrup so much we put it on our flag ; ) Birch syrup is also really yummy.

1/8 cup is 2 Tbsp. Maple syrup is about 52/Tbsp (depends somewhat on grade), so your estimate (if that is pancakes included) seems about right.

If syrup is your thing why not just use yummy natural syrups in moderation? Even a tablespoon per pancake isn't that much. I personally like defrosted (but still cold) raspberries (about 1 1/2 cups) with whipped cream (about 1/2 a cup). Whip the cream, add the berries. It's 150 Cals for 1 3/4 cups of topping (when I mix…

Water fills up your stomach. Could be why you aren't as hungry.

Just add nutrient and calorie rich foods. If you like wine, beer, cake, cookies, etc. have some as part of your meal plan, but try to add nutrient density to go with the calories. If you start eating more your body will start wanting more. Same with exercise. The more you do the more your body wants to do.

^^^^This is bull****. Most anas are hungry all the time they just fight against it. It's a second by second battle against levels of ghrelin that would send the average person into an all consuming feeding frenzy. Yes, they learn to bypass their triggers, some of which are healthier than others, but so has the vast…

Great advice here, so I will just leave hugs and love. Best wishes! Add me as a friend if you want.

Yes, registered dietitian is the way to go. If you live in Canada, didn't look at location sorry, it is covered if you go to your regional health clinic. I'd also go to your doctor about the missed period. Dollarama has lovely pregnancy tests for a preview, but there are other issues that can cause period loss and it…

It's a personal decision. I tried weight watchers a few times (different incarnations) and despised it. I hate someone else weighing me. I despise the fact they think all weight fluctuations are "real" and not water, totm bloating, ate/didn't eat, different clothes, went potty first, etc. I also hated lying to myself and…

My first 2 children the weight fell off while I was nursing, with my third (whom I nursed longer) it just stuck with me and refused to budge until I was done nursing.

I find this to be more informative http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-488236/Trinny-Susannah-reveal-12-womens-body-types--you.html I also found this http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/best-workout-for-your-body-type not sure if it is useful to you or not.

Heal first, establish your milk supply then lose weight. I'd also talk to your doctor about wearing a belly band or something like that. I used one after my first two children, but not after my third and really noticed a difference. Weight loss for me is like getting out of debt. I want to do it fast, see results, make my…

Excited to try these fruit fly traps. They are so bad this year. Feel free to add me if you'd like. Always looking for supportive friends.

I was thinking the same thing. If I can get an extra sandwich for 25 cents then I will. That's a 1/4 sandwich for myself and each of my kids, or if we all got an extra sandwich that's lunch the next day (take the tomatoes out and put them on the side to avoid the bread getting soggy). It's the same with restaurant meals. I…

Eat what you need to, and follow your hunger cues. Honestly I eat between 300-2300 kcals/day based on what I am doing that day, if I feel like eating, and what is going on health wise. My weight loss has it's ups and downs day to day and I am okay with that. I weigh everything on the scale, and diligently track everything…

Medication (which was thankfully temporary) compounded with a few other health issues. Also when I met my husband he liked to eat alot, and eat out all the time. It changed my portion perception, and lead to some weight creeping on. Got off the meds. Hubby bought me Insanity (a work out series). Calorie restriction. 180's…

Waiting for mine to finish growing. Love them with lemon and butter or some bacon.

Cheese and I are great diet pals. I know logically that it is a bad choice, but my taste buds love it, and my brain equates cheese with indulgence so I never feel deprived. I include a small portion of cheese in my daily diet and see the pounds fall off. I was at 182 (due to medication related weight gain) in March and (as…
