I will agree that there are a lot of people on this site who like to criticize others for "stupid questions". I remember having a wonderful teacher in school who said "There are no stupid questions, but only stupid answers". Some new people here need a little extra clarification--myself included and this is normal and…

Sorry still kind of new to this site and the quotes. @ da bears: pardon my post at at this moment, hormones are raging and I'm a little emotional... The help I sought by asking others how they deal with a sweet craving was exactly that: help. Sometimes, when I'm having a hard time dealing with something on my own, its nice…

-2 tbsp of Skinny B cereal on Greek yogurt with Blueberries (lots of protein and fiber) -Steel Cut Oats with 1 tbsp of coconut oil, shredded Unsweetened Coconut and berries ( I love anything coconut!) -Special K Fruit wafer bar (lots of sugar in these, though) -2 slices of Turkey bacon and 2 poached eggs on toast -Hangover…

Thanks, I checked out that thread. Looks helpful, but I'm going to need some help with all the math. All those numbers made my head spin, so I'll have to come back to it later. Any idea why the numbers are so far off?

I think it all depends what you like. I don't cut bread out, but I prefer to use my calories for extra veggies. Better fiber in veggies and I can eat more throughout the day. My doctor did agree that wheat causes the same reaction in the body as opiate drugs such as heroin. Not to the same extent, but it has been proven.…

I want to suggest quinoa, but it seems like you may be watching our carb intake and quinoa does have a lot. However, it is a great source of complete protein.

Toronto. I lost a lot of weight years ago by low carbing. I've tried it again many times in the past few years with very minimal success. Not enough to keep with it. Drinking and low carbing don't mix for the first month or so because there are so many carbs in mixes and wine. Vodka soda would be ok in theory, but your…

Hi Jess! I know how a change in lifestyle can pack the pounds on. It's not easy to get into the groove of eating healthy foods most of the time, but when you're forced to look at your calories and evaluate which ones give you energy and which ones just sap it, it becomes easier. Congrats for joining here and if you need…

Maryelca, I know how hard it can be sometimes. I try to look at every bit of exercise I get as an investment is the calories I'm allowed to have that day. I hate days without exercise as it's no fun having to keep under 1400 calories. Luckily my favourite snack food is popcorn and I have it air popped with coconut oil and…

Thanks, I have been factoring in alcohol since I began on MFP. When I did an internet search I read a few posts from people who said they didn't, but had lost anyway. In the past I have worked out, and changed my eating habits without omitting alcohol and still lost a significant amount of weight. So I was curious what…

"Like this question even needs to be asked? Why do count food then ignore alcohol? yawn See this is why people fail at weight loss. They don't count the empty calories of alcohol and sugary beverages. Its actually quite simple.....if you put something in your mouth (that contains calories), add in the calories." Okay. I'm…
