  • I had troubles with IBS in my early twenties. I went to the doctor and he suggested a diet plan for me. I mostly avoid a lot of dairy products and make sure to eat tons of soluble fiber. I know everyone is different though and there are different kinds of IBS symptoms, so I'd make sure to talk it over with your doctor and…

  • I'm one of those people that has to have breakfast or my day is total crap. Nine times out of ten I go with oatmeal. It takes 2 and a half minutes in the microwave and I'm ready to go! Very filling and I can put different stuff in it each day for variety. I usually go with some kind of berry, chopped nuts, and a little…

  • Snap peas are my current addiction. Blackberries, grapes, other tasty fruits. Homemade hummus on crackers, veggies, or pitas. I like to toast 50 calorie flax pita with a little spray "i can't believe it's not butter" and garlic powder. Tastes like garlic bread! :D

  • I like this. It kind of proves that there is no "normal weight" for a size 18. I'm currently an 18 and I'm around 195 at 5'3". It all depends on height, where you carry your weight, and what brand's vanity sizing you're putting on. There's just so many variables in women's sizing that it's almost pointless to compare…

  • Awesome! I'm 5'3" and sitting around 196 at the moment and you look SO MUCH fitter than I do. It's ridiculous! You're doing a sick job! I started out at 268 back in 2008 and started losing because of a heart condition as well. I just have a ventricular tachycardia, so it's nothing major but it was still enough to scare me!…

  • I mistakenly bought two 4 packs of regular Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup instead of the low sodium version I usually get. I don't really care about sodium, but it makes me a little anxious to be almost 2,000 over what MFP suggests for me. I drink a TON of water though, so hopefully it'll all work out? It's 150 calories a…

  • Oh man.. I'm making pumpkin sufganiyot with cranberry filling for the crazy thanksgiving/chanukah this year. I'm pretty sure I can gain a pound just by looking at them!

  • Yes! I have a "Booze" category on my page as well. I thought I was the only one. I just make sure I measure the booze that goes into my drinks and fit them into my daily calorie limit. I'm just not ready to give up my night caps! :D

  • No candy for me this year! I live out in the boondocks and we haven't had a trick or treater show up in years, so I stopped buying those big ol' candy sacks... But I also had cake for breakfast yesterday, so it's not like I'm sweet deprived! :D

  • I used to be a huge potato chip eater, so now I do those Special K cracker chips instead. Yummy with some Laughing Cow cheese. Only 125 calories for the cheese/chips. I used to eat a whole bag of Utz Kettle Chips in a day which was like 1200 calories. *facepalm* Other than that, I do baby carrots and celery, berries n'…
