Yes, celery is the only one I have heard of. Basically it is water and some green fiber that is not able to be absorbed (hence effectively 0 cals) take that away from your body processing it and you get a negative cal food.

But I DO like really thin girls ... I also like larger girls. It is not their size that matters, both can be very attractive IMHO. Your motivation needs to be yours, not what others think should be yours. My motivation happens to be vanity, there is no reason yours cannot be as well :)

I think this is a great question, how do you determine what your goal is. I am 177.5 cm and started here weighing in at 80Kg. My goal is 74Kg, selected because I managed to get to 72Kg a long time ago but collapsed while working out. So my breaking point is 72Kg, I figured a couple of Kg over that would be a "safe" goal.…

I use MFP to add foods available and then pick the one with the healthiest options (and delete the others).

My wife usually is the one who sits and watches me eat junk. She has amazing will power. What I hate is when she "thoughtfully" brings back chocolates from switzerland .... just could not say no. I find I cannot say no without being nasty and she is the only one I just cannot bring myself to being like that to. Other…

Welcome from another newbie :) You are in the right place to get support from people you "friend" as well as a few random responses like this offering support. What I have found, if I need a little extra help, put the idea out there in your news or here in the forum and the replies will come and give you that boost you are…

sorry to hijack on this but it may be relevant. If you are weight training remember that muscle weighs more than fat, so you will increase weight. What you need to monitor is % body fat to see if you are making progress.

I have the same problem, been exercising lots / little and have nothing happen. Last month I got back into it and added watching what I eat and nothing. 1 Week here and it all started to move. Be patient you can reach your goals (set realistic ones .. have not looked at your profile). You may need to make some adjustments…

Not a wise idea to have an electronic device telling you to put more effort in.

What is one persons loss can be the others gain !

Hi there, a long time ago I tried Camomile and Honey (no need to add anything) and while I loved the taste I had issues with the smell. Suppose to be great for colds if I remember correctly. Now however I have a normal twinings with a dash of milk after dinner.

I count everything for the day starting when I wake up to when I go to sleep. My day finishes at 01:00 - 02:00 so I have to remember to put this in the previous day. It really does not matter, just be consistent.

RE: My last post. If you are hitting the gym to lift weights do not plan on losing weight. Muscle > Fat and if you are working out hard and losing weight you will end up collapsing like I did. You should see your Fat levels drop (if you can measure them) just steer clear of carbs and you should be pleased with the results.

Hi kingkong, been doing lots of different workouts with varying results over the past 20 years or so. I too hate the days I miss out, but I really need to MAKE myself miss at least 2 days a week. In my prime I was hitting the gym 9 times a week (not to gain or loose weight) I was just obsessed. You need to make sure you…

Hi Gilly, I am fairly new here as well (only 1 week at mfp). You are right to get over your issues and get back into it. Anyway you can. This place has helped me in just that way and I hope the members her can get you motivated too. I feel your pain around knee injuries, last year I was told I needed a new hip (which…

I hate the H2O quandary. I see this whole debate as water being the stuff that comes out of the tap (or a bottle with nothing added to it). Even the "Vitamin Water" is not really water. Sorry if you take this literally like me, as this will make your water intake look terribly low (like mine) Either way I still do not take…

Please monitor me :) 175.3 pounds (needed to convert from 79.7Kg) Would it be too much trouble to show pounds and Kilograms ? Not to worry if it is.

I find myself the opposite. When I exercise I usually eat well (salads or just meal replacement protein shakes) with no cravings for anything else. If I do not exercise I find I want more fatty foods like Maccas (is that a 4 letter word here?). Where I go wrong is when I get tired and eat to stay awake or when I am…

Weather has been a little wild lately to say the least, thankfully here in Sydney we seem to have missed the excitement so far. Thanks to all for the warm welcome, this seems to be just what I need.
