That's a great question, I've been wondering about them myself!

oh my goodness, I'm with you! I can pass up sweets with no problem, but love salty food!! I read labels ALOT and try to buy low sodium or sodium free products. I don't salt anything.I use pepper though.

I'm right there with you! I found that it helps a great deal if I look up either on MFP's food database or the restaurant's website what the nutritional info is. I usually know before I get to the restaurant what I will be ordering. A lot of times, my hubby and I will split an entree, it's not only cheaper, but healthier…

That sounds yummy! I do the same thing with boneless, skinless chicken breast, a light cooking oil, and taco seasoning. Although, I like the sound of yours, MMMMMM!

Hi and welcome! I usually make extra of my dinner so that I can take it to work the next day as lunch. I use my crockpot like crazy and start my dinners in the morning before going in to work. Usually skinless chicken breast with a low fat marinade. Or olive oil with a mcCormick's seasoning pack with any meat. I also use…

My advice is first of all to stop beating yourself up about "pole vaulting off of the wagon" (very funny way to put it, by the way), it just makes you miserable and you eat more. You are human and will have slip ups, let it go. Start again to eat healthier. Second of all, don't keep any or a minimal amount of bad food in…

The wii fit PLUS is well worth your time and money. As you play more, you open up new levels and games. I sweat and really enjoy myself.

This was a problem for me at first. It worked for me to have a glass of low fat milk and some apple slices around 8pm. I found that diet cranberry juice is good to have after that if I was still hungry. I had to learn to figure out whether I was actually hungry or out of habit wanting to eat. Find fruit/veggies and prepare…

Yes! My boss at my last job, whom I respected greatly, yelled at me about something I had done, but had gotten twisted when it was communicated back to her. She called me a "*****" and really yelled at me without even taking a moment to ask me what had happened or give me a chance to explain. I was distraught and…

good for you! I only step on the scale once a week (every Friday morning) otherwise I drive myself crazy with it! LOL! Good Luck! You can request me as a friend if you want. :)

I found this site several months ago, but started back up with it about 2 weeks ago. I've already had success with it and my favorite part is the calorie counter and food database. Before I make a meal or eat out, I check the calories and make an educated decision regarding what I intend to eat. I overate last Saturday,…

Hi! I'm the same way, I weigh as much now as when I was pregnant with my 1st child! I discovered this site many months ago and I had a lot of success with it, but got lazy and "too busy" and whatever other reasons I can come up with. LOL! I've been back for a couple of weeks and have already lost weight! The key for me is…

Hi! I gave up soda a couple of years ago. And I was addicted!! I loved it!!! Now, I drink iced tea with splenda. I put 8 tea bags (not green tea) in a container of water in the microwave for 6 minutes. I put 1/3 cup of splenda in it and keep it in the fridge. Yesterday, I added 1/3 cup of lemon juice for a change and it…

Hi! I have had the most success from this site. It really helps me to plan my meals when I can check the calories before hand. I really do plan my meals using this site! Sometimes it's the motivation I need to not add cheese or too much of it to the food I am eating. I've learned a lot about choices. I have 2 children who…
