I can't stand avocado on anything, but guac? o.m.g. I love it!

I season them and bake them in the oven.

My co-worker, who sits four feet away from me, eats all day long. She'll buy a box of Cheez-Its and eat the whole thing, or a bag of Dove chocolates and eat the whole thing - both of these are in ONE day. She has an annoyingly high metabolism, but it's catching up with her. She says she'll just have lipo (again) when she…

It's not bad enough that my office has free bagels and donuts every Friday, oh no, both of our snack machines are $.35 for EVERYTHING! PopTarts, Grandma's cookies, full-size candy bars. Every Friday I (temporarily) log in a donut and bagel to convince myself it's not worth it, then I go into the kitchen and make my little…

Right now, Talk Dirty to Me by Jason Derulo

LOVE profile pic!!

I log everything I can remember, including sugar-free Werthers Originals, but sometimes I think it's weird that I know how many calories there are in Tums.

Any time between 8:00 p.m. - 1:00 a.m., depends on how long it takes to talk myself into it. Sometimes the convincing can take a while. :ohwell:

Chocolate Malto-Meal. They didn't sell it in New Hampshire, so my great Aunt and Uncle would bring boxes of it every summer when they visited.

I lost 35 lbs. and kept it off for 3 years (then I was laid off and everything went south). I love meat and cheese, so it was a good fit.

This is so true! I won't give up diet soda and I save a LOT of my calories for dinner and evening snacks. Both things I've read here are TERRIBLE! I eat dinner late (8 p.m.) and I snack while I watch t.v. That's never going to change, so I adjust my diary to fit in with my lifstyle. Such wonderful advice!!!

I did the same thing. I lost 10 pounds, then gained 4 back in ONE weekend!! I've lost the 4 back now, but I was so mad at myself. The old me would have given up, but this place keeps me motivated. You can do this!

I noticed a couple of my recent foods weren't on the list this afternoon, even though they were there this morning. The experts should be here shortly to give us good tips. :smile:

They should be automatically saved under Recent and Frequent. (I think) And you can use Quick Tools to copy from other days.

My pants - when I saw how much fat and calories I was eating on Atkins.

This thread is so depressing. Here I thought I was eating clean if I had my pizza after a shower. :frown:

It worked for me, but I got tired of the carb restrictions. I have oatmeal now for breakfast every day, and it still makes me smile. (I'm sure that will wear off after a while.) I'll be honest, I do miss all the meat and cheese. Best of luck to you, I hope it works for you, too.

I eat my dinner late (8 pm) and then snack while I watch t.v That's never going to change. I pre-plan most of my daily meals, including late-night treats, so I do save up about 750 calories for evenings.

Diet Mt. Dew in the morning (I don't like coffee), Crystal Light and water in the afternoon (both free at work), Diet Sierra Mist and water in the evening.

Wow, you've done an amazing job already, congratulations! (Really hoping you meant 120, not 1200!) Getting off insulin - priceless! Entering every taste is something I really need to do myself. I just discovered how small of an amount a freaking teaspoon is!! :noway: (I'm stealing your profile pic for my collection, too,…

I haven't received any (I hardly post), but I've sure read a lot. Mostly with new people who are told to suck it up and stop making excuses. Do you know how hard it is to make that first post? I do believe in tough love, but sometimes it's unnecessarily harsh.

I add Crystal Light to my water at work (it's free). I do NOT care for water, but I try to drink 32 oz. of water a day, in addition to everything else.

A 1 a.m. friend? Awesome! Although that's about an hour too late from stopping me from the midnight snack. :smile: Welcome back!

Cheese. Always. Meat. Any kind. Sunflower seeds (in the shell). I snack on them while I watch t.v. so I won't raid the fridge. (I raid the pantry instead.) see below Kettlecorn microwave popcorn. Never had it until this year, now I'm quite hooked on it.

Welcome, Robyn! Wow, you have been through a lot in the past few years. It sounds like you have a good plan and the right attitude. You can do this!

Yes, definitely. I've lost weight before without exercising, and I didn't fit back into clothes I should have at that weight.

I love Cinnamon Life (120 calories for 3/4 cup, 6 sugars). I don't even need the milk, sometimes I eat it as a snack. It might not be the smartest choice, but it's what I like, so I allow for it.

Yes, fairly new member here. Just MFP, although I'm not eating back my exercise calories. But to be honest, it's not that much at this point.

Never! I need your inspiration!

You have 981 calories left??? I may have to remove you as a friend. : ) Eat something calorie-dense, like peanut butter with something else. Other than that, I wouldn't worry about being under for one day. A lot of those calories were earned through exercise, right? So it's not like you're starving yourself.
