I know all of you are being nice but as much as I hate to say it college age kids can be very cruel. I remember when I was in college a girl in the group had a baby. I was not close to her but several of the boys were making very rude comments about her being one giant stretch mark. They called her names all the time I…

Well I think weighing before I cook will be the way to go because I don't like putting hot food on the scale. I usually just put foil or plastic wrap on the scale to protect it so the heat could damage it. For the girl about weighing pasta the weights are on the wrapper are dry weights. Though I guess some things will…

When I started dieting I knew I was going to have to give up Diet Coke. It will stall my diet and I won't lose any weight. I have one every now and then but not very often. It was very difficult I was a 2-3 x a day 44ouncer. I am so glad I stopped. I will drink diet ginger ale or diet rootbeer but no where near as much.…

I have been doing this for about 65 days give or take a few day. I have lost 23 pounds and I think I'm doing great. I eat close to my suggested calories and under some days but always try to keep it above 1200. MFP started out by giving me nearly 1800 and something calories and in the beginning I ate them and I lost…

I eat clean and don't eat bread very often so there is not much of a need for me to go gluetin free. I don't get much because I don't eat out and eat whole foods. I say try it out and see how it works for you. It seems like the results are different for everyone. So test it for yourself. I think it is a expensive exchange…

Also if you enter all your ingredients in the my recipes section and then (10 thighs) show the whole thing as being 10 servings. It will give you the calories. The 146 calories for 3 thighs is a bad entry and you should not use that. Sometimes people enter things wrong and that is definitely a mistake.

A half a cup is about 4 ounces of meat (it is slightly under on most meats). Before I got my scale that is how I measured things with measuring cups.

If she threw it all away everyone in the office would hate her and it would probably end up with her being fired. That is a very selfish thing to do to your coworkers. I think I would explain that I was watching my weight and politely ask if it could be moved. People need to realize the world does not revolve around you…

I disagree that carbs are more important than calories. I am one of those people who can cut their carbs drastically and have no benefit whatsoever. But I will drop pounds rather quickly controlling my calories. I am disabled and have to restrict my exercise. I do what I can and count that even though what I count most…

My doctor told me a person normal weight will fluctuate from 4-6 pounds through out a day. So you should always weight first thing in the morning to get an accurate weigh in.

It is funny that everyone is talking about the size how much bigger or smaller than they guess. What I took away from this is that it said I had the perfect hour glass figure. Something I never would have guessed. :)

There are bad foods. Over processed food is very bad for your body causing a plethora of diseases. Even in moderation you can cause serious damage to your body eating over processed food. You can eat with this all food is healthy mentality if you want to but you are only making excuses for not feeding your body. You need…

Someone tell me what is wrong with Sardines other than they are packed in oil? Unhealthy oil probably. Is that it? I don't eat them but I have thought about it. If that is the case I suppose smoked oysters are unhealthy too. I need some feedback on this.

I don't have a scale at home. I do go to the doctors office at least once a month and sometimes much more often. So I weigh when I go to the doctors. I also take my measurements. If I need to see progress on my weight loss and I don't have a scale I will take my measurements. I do this at different times than when I weight…

It is better to be safe than sorry. I'd do sedentary and eat back exercise calories. I'd hate to gain because I wasn't being accurate. That way if you miss your bike rides due to weather you don't have to worry or make a big adjustment.

that's a lot of work for some cauliflower :)

GMO's = Genetically Modified Organisms.

NO GMO's. People really need to start looking at the food they are eating. The US better wake up and understand that this food will kill you. It is not OK. It also affects the organic crops and once exposed alters the DNA of those crops also. When you food source is so contaminated you can not eat it anymore you start…

To the vegans being pushy and abusive to the people who eat meat. Your way is not the only way. You are making yourself look foolish.

I have tried this diet and that diet most of my life with varying success, none of which was sustained. When I found MFP I decided I was going to improve my diet and eat healthy for life. I started researching Superfoods and incorporating them into my diet. Yes I eat Ribeye's and all kinds of beef, fish, turkey pork etc. I…

Great job!!! Very inspirational.

I am only buying a few things. Will wait till I am at goal to buy a whole new wardrobe. Besides I still have some of my skinny clothes :) Motivation to wear them again.

Have you never heard the fact that muscle weighs more than fat. If you are building muscle you are shrinking and this is a good thing. Get a tape measure you will see inches dropping off your body and this is great progress. It is a wonderful thing to turn fat into muscle. If you were not staying on your diet it would be…

1. A hard working man, it helps if he is well built. A farmer would be great :) 2. Einstein 3. My Dad even though he's passed away. I'd have him.

I hate photos of me as well. But I took this pic and posted it because I felt like I needed to face how fat I was in order to make the life long change I was after. Just because I didn't like how I looked I didn't want to hide it I wanted to change it. I'm a work in progress :) The first step was taking this pic and…

You look wonderful and amazing I am so happy for you.
