Thanks!

if I use only the twists noodles out of the box, what option should i use for MFP food data base. Can't find anything for twists noodles.

Definitely not the same. These noodles are twists & I have no idea what brand to use.... I'm starting to just want to use what's in the box so it's easier. Usually I use noodles out of the regular mac n cheese and use a different sauce with it.

Well I'm using ONLY the noodles out of the mac n cheese box. So I'm trying to figure out how much noodles are. MFP says that 1/2 cup elbow noodles are 210 calories. So I'm wondering if that's meaning dry or cooked

Okay, I've been drinking soda like crazy since the week of Thanks Giving. I haven't had any since yesterday afternoon. I'm starting to think maybe this is a caffeine withdrawal, how do I get rid of it without having caffeine?

I have a 15 grams of sugar rule that I'm really good about, when I'm away from home I eat whatever that can be 60 grams or so... and today I'm back to my 15 grams. so this could cause it..... I've never been so stressed as I've been lately. We're trying to buy a business and the people haven't gotten back with us. They've…

Okay, this is going to sound stupid, BUT... Can water cause this? I NEVER drink water, and today I've already drank over 32oz... Or here's another change. I've been drinking diet soda like crazy lately, and I haven't drank any soda since last night. Caffine withdrawl? But no headache or anything.

The only time I ever feel like this is when I get pulled over by a cop. But I don't feel nervous or guilty. So I'm thinking it has something to do with nutrition? *shrugs* Wish i could figure this out. I sat/layed down for 30 minute doing nothing but trying to be relaxed, and it didn't help.

Woops, I read the chart wrong, it said 2 liters not 1. =P But thank you anyway. lol

I was going to go to the bathroom at Walmart and when I pulled my pants down my phone fell out of the packet into the toilet. =( I walked away to get help and the automatic flush sucked in through the piles. Never to be found again. lol

First off all, you're doing amazing =) And very inspirational! I'm in the same boat as you. I just bought a size 13 pair of jeans in juniors, and they fit my butt, thighs, legs great... But I have the muffin top. =( Stupid belly!.... I found a new toy I might buy! The ProForm Ab Glide. Suppose to help with the belly area,…

WHOA! GREAT JOB! You look awesome! I can see a huge difference *hugs* This is keeping ME motivated too now. Two thumbs up to you girl, You've do soooooo great & the work is really paying off.

Just bathrooms, offices, walmarts, taco bell, etc

I'm 5'6" & only want to get to 160lbs... I have to be 150 at the highest to be "healthy", but I think with my DD boobs I could be healthy at 160. Or maybe that's just an excuse, either way I think I'd look pretty good at 160, & if I don't then I'll go from there & decide.

yet... but your net has to be the same every day. for the most part anyway =)

you're the 2nd person I heard say that.... But that's weird, because the back of the package says "These sugar substitutes are slowly metabolized", so wouldn't that mean the opposite

You can count calories and still not lose. If you eat 1,200 of ONLY junk, brownies, sugar, candy bars, etc it's going to stick around longer than eating 1,200 of healthy natural foods.

Food-> Settings-> and then you can add sugar, fiber, etc .... you can even change the order you see them in. To me I think sugar and sodium in the more important things i had to cut back on, so i put those first

I agree, completely! I didn't mean cut it out all together. I still eat whatever I want, but in moderation too. But when we first started MFP and cut back it wasn't easy. It's the same concept. =)

gimmick? He's a nutritionist, he's not trying to sell anything to anyone. He's trying to teach people to be even healthier with food choices. Don't bash it til you've tried it.

I eat fruit, blue berries, raspberries, etc.... have half a banana instead of a whole banana.... Did you even watch the video?

Yes. But just like calories for everyone, some days we're over & some days we're under. For now I've been very strict to not go over 15. I think in the long run some days I may eat more, but never over 20. It's all about learning which foods are better for you "sugar-wise" anyway Remember when you first started MFP and cut…

I didn't say that. Definitely not what I meant. It's a trick to get you to eat healthier, nothing more. I can eat A LOT of food for only 1,200 calories now that I learned to cut the sugar down & only eat healthy. If you eat junkfood you can eat a little and already be at 1,200.

Aw thanks girl! It wasn't easy in the beginning, mainly because I needed to figure out what foods worked for it. Nuts, string cheese, sugar free bread, etc. Once you figure out what foods have no sugar, or are low in sugar, it's a breeze! =)

Under 1,200 is supposedly "starvation mode" and your body thinks it can't lose. Your net needs to be at 1,200, so if you eat 1,200 and don't work out you're fine. But if you eat 1,200 and work out 300, it puts your net at 900. .... At least that's what people say. But like everyone else said, different things work for…

Not sure, but I know that they can't have tomato sauce even, because of the seeds in it

After sleeping 12 hours straight Jeremy someone work up SUPER cranky.... He went into the kitchen & was suddenly quiet for a LOOOOOOOONG time!... Out of curiously I went to check what made him to happy & preoccupied... He found our bag of candy for the airplane & was sucking on the suckers & taffy LOL. I guess I found a…

I'll be your friend! ;-)

He's actually sitting on our lap the whole way, but I like he idea of he carseat so she's restrained hehe! Would make things MUCH easier! =)

OH NO! YOU'RE WORKING OUT ON AN EMPTY STOMACH? ..... Seriously people, this isn't what she was asking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She asked if we put off eating, or try to find things that are worth the calories! If you don't like the post then just ignore it & move on. Sheesh! Anyway to answer the question you DID ask: I'm not a…
