The time I consume my calories has no effect on my weight loss. I eat when I'm hungry but I eat healthy food and no junk. I will get up in the middle of the night occasionally have have something to eat if I'm hungry and as long as I don't go over my calories I'm good as gold.

Most mornings and I mean almost every morning. I eat Old Fashioned Oatmeal I put various types of frozen fruit in the oatmeal before I zap it for 2 minutes in the microwave. It is quick, easy, tasty and filling. Not the quick oats I hate those mushy oats. I also have one or two cups of coffee, then I'm good till lunch.

Sugar is bad for me because it kicks my appetite into overdrive. Sugar = the white powder not the sugar in fruit. If I eat things that contain sugar added then I'm starving all day long. If I get it naturally in food I"m okay.

Plastic cups, I don't own one. PBA's

Self loathing :huh:

I hate when people stop in the middle of the grocery isle and start looking at the shelves so they are blocking the whole isle. They obviously need glasses because they can't seem to be able to read anything there or see people start piling up in both directions waiting for them to move. Someone always has to say EXCUSE ME…

You stated no good excuse not to work out other than being lazy.

I don't think there is anything wrong with it especially if your doctor is on board with it. However, I do think when you reach your goal weight you should track all your food very closely and learn how to maintain you great successful weight loss. I think this is where people often fail no matter the mean of achieving the…

You talking about runners high and it can be achieved after a whole lot of work. It is addictive and makes you feel great. But you probably won't start getting runners high until you get into great physical condition. You will know when you get it. But if you have having problems with your leg and hip you might want to…

You can make an argument that there are chemicals in everything but I am not trying to do that or listen to that. Reasonable care in what you drink for achieving health. This spring I order a Stevia plant. This plant is 1000 sweeter than sugar so a few leaves in my tea or fruit flavored water sweeten it right up. I also…

I see a lot of people mess up by adding activity in their sedentary lifestyle. If you work a desk job select a sedentary lifestyle. Then only count your exercise on the day you exercise and add that to your calorie goal daily. You can double log your activity if you go above the sedentary setting. I eat back some of my…

Don't hate me. I went through menopause without ever really knowing that was what it was. I had a few hot flashes at night but attributed it to different things. I am just here to tell you it ends and then your as free as a bird. The only residual effect I have noticed is that I am way way more emotional than I was when I…

I wish I could but if I eat sugar my hunger goes through the roof and I'm hungry all day long. So I will make a shake with lowfat milk fruit and stevia to sweeten it and I'm really happy. Not every day just when I want something sweet. I don't feel deprived and I don't have that gnawing hunger sugar causes.

I had a friend who did this and reintroduced high fiber food to quickly into her system and ruptured her colon. Not a good idea! Surgery was required and she ended up with a bag attached to her stomach to potty in.

You need to stop worrying about how fast you will lose the gained weight and concentrate of eating healthy. Put the scale away while you get yourself on the correct path to healthy eating. Concentrate on portion control and what type of food you are putting into your body. Set up a menu plan with the correct calories and…

I am surprise so many people do not know the right answer to this and if you think about you will realize it is true. It is the difference between class and trash. If an older woman is wearing hip huggers and a low cut shirt she looks trashy. If she is dressed appropriately she looks classy. This is the thing comic strips…

Good for bulking up

You may not like the smell but it will help with your hair. Get an empty dish detergent bottle and fill it one third of the way full with Apple Cider Vinegar and the rest with plain tap water. The vinegar will neturalize the ph in the water and your hair will feel a lot better. Shower wash you hair, use your cream rinse…

Feed him high protein granola cookies :)

Okay I want this recipe for cauliflower crust :) All this talk of pizza yum. Don't you go a burning my pizza now.

Pose for the tattoo :)

For cutting off the head of the chick in the photo :)

If you want it to be clean make your own chocolate with coconut oil, honey and coco powder.

I find that you have to comment to get comment make sure you are giving as well as you get. There are a lot of great people on here.

I think the misunderstanding in your question comes from the fact there are people on MFP who want to gain weight as well as those who want to lose. It is not sensible to only provide part of one days calories and then ask why? You need to be eating in a calorie deficit for your body and the only way you will know if you…

That's a man?

Awesome...Congratulations .... Keep up the great work!!!

Every few years peoples taste buds change. Thing you didn't like a few years ago you may love now. So you need to try different things and then try them again after a few years.

Thank you all so much. I think I will go and reset my calories. If they are set at 1550 I usually eat about 1350 so that is where I need to set it. It is very rare that I actually eat my goal so I think this will work for me. I am going to try it and see how it goes. Thanks again!

I used to drink a lot of diet coke. Several 44oz glasses a day and it absolutely stopped my weight loss. If I drink diet coke I will not lose weight. I knew this about myself and knew in order to get the weight loss results I wanted I would have to stop drinking diet coke after more than 25 years of it daily. I was very…
