If I knew the nutritional information, it would definately change the way I order. I wish that all restaurants did this. I usually try to check the nutritional info online before I go or use the MFP app on my phone but its not always in the database. For this reason, I dont eat out as mush as I used to because I HAVE to…

I'm so sorry for the loss of your babies. My first daughter was stillborn and although I have two healthy daughters now, I still have an empty hole in my heart 6 years later. Its a traumatic experience and will hurt for a long time and probably will never completely heal. Just hold them in your heart and surround yourself…

I've had the Kashi frozen pizzas before and they were pretty good

I'm in the same boat as you with height/weight and eating 1200 calories / 165 carbs. Even though I never exceeded my calorie limitations, I never lost weight until I reduced my carbs. What works for me is 100-120 max carbs per day.

I add different things like Truvia, vanilla extract, sugar free choc syrup, cinnamon, juice from blueberries, or 1/4 cup coconut milk. It just depends on what I have on hand, just try different things and find something that works for you.

I love edamame, hard boiled eggs, apple w/ PB, almonds, frozen fruit, sugar free jello or pudding

Thank you for posting this. It looks like a treat I used to love back when I was a kid. I had been trying to find a receipe for it but was only coming up with the chocolate "buckeye" versions

I eat almonds everyday but limit myself to only 1 oz. You could measure them out in snack size baggies. The baggies that most nuts come packaged in are way more than what you should be consuming in one serving.

Excellent work!

You look great! Keep up the awesome work

I used to go over on my carbs a bit but felt it was ok at the time since I was at 1200 calories and wasn't going over on calories. The carbs I was eating were from fruits and veggies, not sugar or pasta. However, I was also not losing weight. I decided to change it up a bit, cut down the carbs, eat some lean protein and…

I'm in the 140s now too :) It feels good!

I love iced coffee. I make it with Truvia, vanilla extract, and just 1/4 cup of almond milk, runs me about 25 calories and keeps me from snacking on something with a much higher calorie count

I'm the same way, I weigh myself last thing at night (to calculate what the number should be in the am) I wake up and can't wait to weigh myself. If I want an extra snack, I weigh myself which changes my mind about the snack or forces me to make a healthier choice.The day the battery died, I went through "withdrawals"…

Cutting carbs has definately allowed me to lose weight. Even though I stayed within 1300 calories, I wasn't able to lose weight because I had a carb heavy diet. I used to think that it didn't matter much what I ate, as long as I stayed within my calorie limits. For myself, I learned that I needed to watch my carbs/sugars…

I say buy the dress as a graduation gift to yourself, you've earned it. Hang it up in a place where you can see it everyday and it will great for motivation.

So sorry for your loss, but its an incredible story, thank you for sharing it with us

Popsicles, ice cream, etc on a stick. Its something about my teeth potentially touching wood that freaks me out.

Most cereals will be higher in carbs but 43g carbs wouldn't be desireable for me either. My Kashi Go Lean Cereal runs about 34 carbs but I don't have it everyday. I figure if you go higher carb, then morning is the best time to do it. I loved Raisin Bran though. Cascadian Farms Organic Raisin Bran doesn't have the sugar…

Q: Where does a General put his armies? A: Through his sleevies!

I will try changing the values then. MFP allowed me 45 of protein and I was getting nervous to see that my intake was twice that

I was doing this with sugar free choc syrup, will try the vanilla extract

Did you do the next step after you finish your equation which is to subtract 500 calories from that? That gives you 3500 calories subtracted for the week giving you a 1 pound loss per week.

A relative was doing it under doctors orders to lose weight before surgery so I decided to do it with him. This was many years ago so I don't remember the specifics only that I was incredibly dissappointed with my weight loss despite following the diet perfectly. I did lose a few pounds but it wasnt much and may have been…

Hello World by Lady Antebellum. I've noticed since I have started really losing weight that I'm starting to come out of this cocoon that I built around myself.

For a store bought cake mix, I substitute oil/butter with either applesauce or canned pumpkin. For frosting, I use 1 8oz tub of cool whip, 1 pkg jello pudding mix 3.4 oz, and 1 cup of skim milk (fat free and/or sugar free versions of all the ingredients) Mix all ingredients and chill in fridge for 15 min before frosting…

Can already see a big difference, keep up the great work!
