  • I never use food as a reward, per se. I eat whatever I want within moderation, so allowing myself a candybar doesn't help because I don't deny them to myself.... what I do reward myself with at milestones is maybe a nice dinner out (Indian food this past weekend) or a new piece of clothing that is meant to honor my healthy…

  • there is a national database of exercises... once you find them you can enter them into MFP... usually I just find the closest thing... like for instance I do aerobic weight lifting... there isn't an entry for it... so I enter aerobis light for half the time and weight training for the other half... I may have burned as…

  • where do you live?
    in new here Comment by wildkatt7 October 2011
  • alive by nature's way is a great supplement... but also eat things like almonds and sunflower seeds (pumpkin seeds etc)... they are a bit high in the calories, but have the really good fat that help you lose weight, and they have protein... I have been a vegetarian for 12 years and they do good for me... and 1200 calories…
    in What am I missing? Comment by wildkatt7 October 2011
  • flavored rice cakes are great and any nuts (I do almonds, sunflower seeds, and right now pumpkin seeds... yum yum).

  • my husband is the same with food... can eat anything - I gave up corn syrup and the junk I buy him is the crap with corn syrup so I am not even tempted... It really works for me and I feel a million percent better

  • WAY TO GO!!! I know how you feel - my wedding and engagement rings are getting to the point where they are going to fall off soon as well... thankful we got the service plan with sizing for life... I just hate being without them... but soon, very soon have to leave them for two weeks... just waiting until a particular ring…

  • I never deny my cravings, I just try to determine if they are from a physical or emotional place. the biggest mistake most people make in the weightloss journey is to deny deny deny... and then the fall of the wagon and eat what they have denied themselves. I decided in this journey to eat whatever I want, just in…

    in Corn Syrup - A No No Comment by wildkatt7 October 2011
  • I am always suspicious of these things that promise big loss fast... it isn't necessarily healthy nor is it sustainable... be safe when you do fasts and the like

  • I am not vegan, but do have several recipes that can be easily made vegan... I gave up corn syrup in January and it was the best thing I ever did... and often it means I eat gluten-free too... but not always... many of my recipes are gluten-free though.... It is tough making choices that the rest of the world just doesn't…

  • I am not sure any food surprised me, as I have always read labels due to allergies... what has shocked me as I lose weight, I can only eat so much without getting stuffed... used to be I could eat 10 times that amount and still be able to eat... buffets hated me, now they aren't worth it anymore.... but finding the balance…
    in What food has surprised you since using MFP? Comment by wildkatt7 September 2011
  • Both and clothes... I weigh weekly... measure monthly... and try clothes on that didn't fit periodically... though the last is the toughest because, well if something I love still doesn't fit I get sad... all and all it is about balance i have found....
    in Which do you use more, the scale or measuring? Comment by wildkatt7 September 2011
  • you need 8 glasses of hydration a day, but it doesn't all have to come from water... it is in food (especially veggies) and other drinks... now you got me wanting a nice cup of herbal healing tea... mmmm
    in Water or Tea?? Comment by wildkatt7 September 2011
  • In the weight loss journey there is a psychological effect... big time effect. Support is essential. And while your significant other can be a good source of that.. sometimes you need others... I have a group of friends... we help each other... and it is good for our psyches... I am 1/3 of the way to my goal, and boy to I…

    in Unhealthy foods? Comment by wildkatt7 August 2011
  • some cheese or veggies are good... but if you aren't hungry, you don't have to eat... and I try to stay under on the fat, carbs, protein, but I focus on calories first. I try never to go over carbs... fat, it depends on the fat... if I ate avacados, no worries... protein, I struggle to get enough as it is as a vegetarian,…
    in What do I eat with these numbers? Comment by wildkatt7 July 2011
  • I second that notion... most places like that encourage starvation diets and longitudenly unhealthy paths. I am not familiar with this one in particular, but very few encourage the healthy way of honoring your body with limits...

  • great job... keep it up... I had a similar wake up call when I ended up in the ER on valentine's day... 35 days later, thanks to MFP and my determination I am a fourth of my way to my goal of losing 137 pounds...
    in Wake Up Call Comment by wildkatt7 June 2011
  • your body goes through stages and sometimes you gain a few... or you may have gained muscle which has more mass than fat. Also, your old scale may have not been working right... or the new one isn't... Just keep moving forward and keep up the work!!!
