Also we make sugar free Jello and pudding for snacks/dessert along with buying fruits(this week cantaloupeand blueberries were on sale at meijer). You could also make french toast(I use the Walmart brand fake eggs as I call them) as for bread I use the 35 calorie potato bread for me and my husband(it's low cal and still…

We are a family of four and on a tight budget as well. I use boneless skinless chicken to make a variety of dishes, like pot pies, fajitas, white chili, etc. I also buy a boneless pork loin and cut into 4oz servings. I also like to mix it up with burger also. We also make tortilla pizzas with lavash bread from Walmart, we…

one cup is 8 ounces, when they say 1 cup they mean 1 measuring cup, not coffee cup. hope this helps.

I quit smoking 6 months ago and gained the 30 pounds back that I previously lost, on top of that I started working full time and sit on my butt in an office all day. So back to fitness pal I come.

op I just have a question about how you got 2 sandwiches to equal 130 calories when the regular graham crackers are 130 calories alone. and when I add in 4 tbs cool whip free it comes to 160 calories for the 2 sandwiches. (I assume you would need about 2 tablespoons per sandwich) . not that the extra 30 calories really…

no 1200 will be the lowest that mfp sets. as you lose weight you will just start losing less pounds per week.

recumbent bike, I have bad knees too and that is what I use

do you use instant rice in this or not? going shopping for the ingredients today and need to know

thanks

the package will say how many ounces total. then you count how many wings are in the package. then you divide the total number of ounces by how many pieces and that will tell you approximately how many ounces each piece is. ex: 16oz total in package. 16 pieces in package. would be 1oz per wing. 16/16=1

what is the lean ground beef you use % wise? is it 90/10 or something else?

I don't mind at all I found 2 healthy treats for Christmas because people posted recipes. they were amazing!!! however when I share it I share it to me only so that others don't have to see it.

I actually did have this and my doctor said that it is probably a nerve getting pinched and not to worry about it as long as it goes away. it takes a couple days of not working out for it to go away for me.

thanks

ok. I am wondering if someone can simplify this for me. what is he saying? my doctor told me to cut down on carbs, exercise and lose weight. he also gave me meds because I had done all of those before(lost 70lbs, kept it off for 4 years then got sick/bedridden and gained 40 back) and it did not lower my cholesterol. My dad…

I always have cravings before my period. I go buy a bag of chips take out a couple servings and give the rest to my son to eat or throw away. I HAVE to have it or I will continue to crave it for days. for me I just eat it and I know an extra serving or two of my cravings a month are not going to hurt me. so just eat what…

I love splenda.

I also have arthritis in my knees and bought an elliptical. it hurt so bad I sold it and bought a recumbent bike. it doesn't give as good of a workout as elliptical or even walking but it is definitely better than nothing and once the weight comes off you can add walking or elliptical.

if you go to food there is a button that says recipe click that and you can add your own recipes and how many servings. also I know there was a thread about how to share your recipes with your SO but I don't remember how to do it. try using the search bar for that maybe you can find that thread.

I have this problem also, what I do is 1. I eat dinner later which helps. 2. drink water 3. save most of my calories for the evening when I know I have cravings 4. play internet games for distraction. Hope this helps.

sending prayers for your husband and you...

congrats
