  • Lara Bars----healthy & yummy
  • Nestle is a very unethical, corrupt company! Just google "boycott nestle" and you'll learn more why....
  • Ideally we should all eat real unprocessed food, I realize this! I am trying to sort of do "Jenny Craig" on my own, am on a mission to lose 5+ lbs by the end of the month. I need something quick/easy and just want to try something new, don't usually eat these things. I don't expect to eat these on a long term basis, just…
  • I love making a layered dip in a small tupperware: fat free refried beans, lett, tom, salsa, fat free sour cream, chives. I also like smoothies made from fat free plain greek yogurt, frozen fruit, and a truvia packet. Also hard boiled eggs! Hope that helps....
  • Sherry, my husband is NOT at all interested in working out and that's fine. We both have our separate interests (he likes to hunt; I will NEVER go hunting with him!), as do all couples. What we do makes us "us" and that is why your partner loves us! Not to say that he is completely unhealthy/inactive---his job as a…
  • I would suggest "Body for Life for Women", she discusses the effect of aging/menopause on women and it may provide some helpful insight. You are doing amazing, don't stop! You're doing your body good no matter what the scale says.

  • Progresso Vegetable with Barely soup, the whole can is 160 calories, VERY filling and yummy!
  • Replace any processed carbs (bread) with whole grains, like brown rice, quinoa, or barley. I like to add 1/2 cup of grains to my salads, makes them a lot more filling.
  • Thank you so much for sharing, I can't wait to try this!!!
  • Some days I HAVE to exercise in order to eat more because I am hungry! Like today for example, I only have 421 calories left for the day, so I will workout to eat a snack and dinner and still be within my allotted calories for the day. This is whats so great about MFP! Some days I am not as "hungry", regardless of whether…
  • I struggle with my motivation too; I think this website is great for tracking and "seeing" how I'm doing throughout the day. Many times I will exercise just so I can eat a bit more, lol. Still though, having a hard time sticking to calorie goals for more than a few days in a row. I was looking at some pictures from a few…
  • I LOVE to make breakfast sandwich's using light whole wheat english muffin, 1 scrambled egg (or eggwhite), and laughing cow cheese wedge. Yummy!
  • You wont know calories unless you know portion size; you can use your the "deck of cards" trick to estimate 4 oz ( a piece of meat the size of a deck of cards equals about 4 oz). Also, I would totally use just a pat of butter or something for the potatoe! Unless you wanted to put some of that zero calorie "butter spray" (I…
  • So lucky you all are that one day it clicked "just like that"! Wow, I'm jealous! I have my good and bad days/weeks and keep thinking that eventually the good will outweigh the bad simply become a habit long enough for me to stick to my calorie goals. Awesome for you, keep it up :)
