  • I forgot to tell you about TheGroceryGame.... check out www.thegrocerygame.com....great way to get lots for a little. I spend $135 a week for a family of 4 (two teens included) and we have about 3 months of food in our store room, so if you work it, you really can feed two on $200 a month, you may not store back as much as…

  • Try Aldi food store if there is one nearby...they have great produce and canned goods way cheaper than even Wal Mart sometimes. I like the garden idea from cee2sea, I started one last year and again this year...lots of food cheap...just takes a little time and lots of work, but hey, the work burns the calories...I call…

  • Welcome to MFP! Sounds like you are off to a great start...and yes, you are probably iritated more right now because you are adjusting....once you get used to a lower calorie intake, hopefully that will subside.

  • I would say it depends on your idea of eating right and what your current weight is. I have been at this for 46 days...I' ve lost eight pounds...and I have been pretty good, most of the time eating-wise. I would suggest making sure you drink LOTS of water and watch your sodium intake, so you aren't carrying a lot of water…

  • If your pants are not as tight, then I'd have to say that it probably is muscle weight...who doesn't want muscle weight? I'd start measuring in. or cm. if you really want to keep good track.:wink:

    in hi im new Comment by rharvey75495 April 2011
  • I agree with those who say "start today", even if today is half over....just do it now. Also, use this site as a tool to "play" with what your day COULD be like...that is what I did the first few days I was on this site. I put in some possible combinations for meals for a day as well as some exercises that I might do and…

  • I see oatmeal suggested by lots of people...you may think that it sounds a little bland...try it this way: -Cut up a half an apple and heat in the water as it boils -then add some apple pie spice, to taste -then add a VERY small amount of artificial butter flavoring (I use about an 1/8th of a tsp.) -once the apple is as…
