I don't eat back my calories....if I am super hungry after a workout or at night I may have something healthy...but I do not make it a goal to eat them back.

Every morning I have my iced coffee and log it. I make it from scratch....full cup of ice, coffee and I measures 1/4 cup of French Vanilla non fat creamer. The first 3 or 4 sips make my day...it also doesn't set me into crazy sweets mode. Make it yourself, log it and enjoy it!

I spent 30+ years in south county (now I live in Florida) and I know exactly what you are talking about. SoCal is in its own realm. (I lived in Silverado/Lake Forest/Laguna) and when I initially was losing a lot of weight I felt very intimidated....but like others have said, its really just us being paranoid. When I see…

I am no where near short shorts but I tell my daughter.....low cut shirt goes with jeans....short shorts go with a more conservative top. Maybe its just too much for him to take all at once :)

I am 41 and am going on my fourth week logging....I would love to have more active and supportive friends so if anyone would like to add me, please do. :)

I think we are basically in the same boat....feel free to add me as a friend. I posted yesterday that I was really discouraged, and through the encouragement of my MFP friends I pushed on through. I think you need to calculate your TDEE and BMR. I was doing 1200 like MFP told me but I should actually be around 1350. Its a…

Anyone can feel free to add me. I am day 22 of logging and I track my food everyday. The more motivation the better! I am 41, married with a 15 year old girl in the US. :)

I actually use the Oikos Greek Yogurt Dip (instead of mayo)....only 25 calories for 2 tablespoons and its super tasty compared to plain Greek yogurt :)

I have a bad knee as well....I may need to check these videos out. :smile:

I personally love it. I have logged in for 15 days now and lost nearly 5 pounds. I am trying to learn from others.....and learn a healthy way of losing weight. I am viewing this as a lifestyle change, not a quick fix. If you would like some additional support please feel free to add me. :smile:

I am 41 and have logged in for 12 days now...so I basically just started! Feel free to add me as well. The more encouragement the better! :)

Its 204 calories for 1 1/4 cups and then I add 3/4 of a cup of brown rice which is 150 calories...so roughly 350 for a huge pile of food :)

Try that chicken chili taco recipe I posted. It seriously makes enough for probably 10 meals if you break them up. I had it for dinner and lunch and today it was actually better. I also buy a big huge pack of boneless skinless chicken breasts and bake them all on Sunday. I dice them up and stick them all in the fridge.…

I will try with you! I live in Florida so I understand the "heating up"! Friend request sent :)

Hi I am Vicki and I joined a few days ago...feel free to add me too! I have about 30 to 40 I am in the process of losing! The support has been great so far :)

I am on day 9...I will send you a request! There are some great people on here...you got this!

My hubby works out of town all week and I have a 15 year old daughter who is the pickiest person alive so I basically cook for myself all week. The main thing I have started to do is buy a large pack of fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts and bake them on Sunday night. I season the heck out of them with salt free…

Awesome! I will that to my recipes! :)

I am on day nine.....am sending you a request! Happy Friday :)

I agree...stop weighing yourself. Take the battery out and give it to your husband or friend or something. That's what I need to do. I am not sure how old you are but I have noticed its harder for me now that I am in my early 40's. Weight literally used to fall off me...I would loose five pounds the first week and it would…

For me... French vanilla non fat coffee creamer (if I do not have that first thing in the morning I am useless!) Greek yogurt Cut up boneless skinless chicken (I bake the entire pack on Sunday and chop it up) Crystal light Cottage cheese 100 calorie popcorn

Could you possibly show her your MFP tracker....show her the types of foods you are eating so she gets off your back a bit? I actually downloaded the app for my mom to check out. Now she has a better idea about portion control and the calorie content in foods....Also, I saw you mentioned onion dip.....I just discovered…

I am nearly 42 and have about 30 to 40 to lose....I just signed up yesterday so I would also love the encouragement and help! It definitely is a lot harder as we get older (at least for me!). If anyone would like to add me, feel free :)

My daughter is now 15 and is a varsity swimmer and cheerleader at her high school. She was a very heavy child and at the age of about 12 - 13 she just grew like a beanstalk. She grew 7" in nine months and finally grew into her weight. In all honesty....she was overweight because I was lazy (key word I was lazy, I am NOT…

I just started online today....and my goal weight is 155 so I am on board with you! :)

Thank you! It seems to be getting harder as I get older......NOT okay! HA! I am hoping this sites helps keep me motivated :happy:

Would love to be your friend! Love your honesty as well. I just joined today....I am a bit older but I feel the same way. I just got married and he loves and accepts me, but I have never felt comfortable in my own skin....its time to get healthy and stop saying "I will do it tomorrow".....today IS tomorrow. We got this!…

Hi, I am Vicki....41 and newly married (first time). I would love to lose at least 30 pounds...and ever since I hit 40 it seems to be so much harder. Looking for support and motivation...more friends the better! Add me if you would like. Looking forward to this new journey :flowerforyou:

Feel free to add me too :) today is my first day logged in and I don't know how to add anyone yet! :) Motivation is what I am looking for too. :happy:
