Metamucil chocolate wafers are 100 calories a pack - one pack is two wafers. Now....you have to drink a ton of water with them and I only eat one a day b/c it's too much fiber for me to eat two (at least right now) but the one wafer makes a great treat each day. Seriously, drink at least a full glass of water per wafer. I…

What about soups? They are my go to when I am out of ideas. That or some sort of egg bake. It's amazing how awesome eggs taste when mixed w/ a little cheese and broccoli or topped w/ salsa. If you have a Carrabbas in your area and are ever in a bind for a meal, get a bowl of their minestrone. It's A-MAZING!!

A slice of deli meat wrapped around a slice of cheese is a go to for me. That or peanut butter on a graham cracker.

5'0" here and I have two pictures uploaded to my profile. One at the start (but from a flattering angle - I generally didn't keep many pictures of myself b/c I just was never happy w/ how I looked) and one from a week ago. It's AMAZING how much difference just 10lbs makes on a shortie :) I will try to grab a shot at each…

I second the air popped popcorn. It's got that good crunch to it that lets you much away.

I cut out wine and replaced it w/ a TON of iced tea or hot tea (just depending on my mood). I like my tea plain so basically I replaced wine w/ flavored water, LOL. Once I get to my goal weight I will bring the wine back but in moderation to meet my maintenance calorie goals for the day.

I am really rather odd about eggs, my ideal choices are: I will eat the whole egg if it's: Scrambled Omlette Quiche Deviled I will eat just the white (although just a smidge of yolk is fine) if it's: Fried Poached Boiled It's just personal preference. I really don't care for the yolk when the yolk is very seperate from the…

Tortilla chips - good ones. I can eat mexican and make it work for me health and calorie wise, but it's the chips that get me. If I am going to splurge I will go crazy on tortilla chips (assuming there is really good salsa, guacamole or queso dip to eat ON the chips, LOL).

Oh, another good one and a favorite of mine for dinner at times. Chili and eggs. Scramble some eggs and top w/ a lean chili. I like to sprinkle some very sharp cheese on top but it's totally optional. Also - cook some non-fat canned refried beans (you can add your own favorite fat in for flavor or just stay plain) and put…

I was just using up leftover broccoli once and found how good it paired w/ eggs. Make little "egg muffins" and drop broccoli and a smidge of bacon or sausage in and top w/ a sprinkle of your favorite cheese. It's really, really good! Better than I had thought it would be. Also, this weekend, my daughter requested chicken,…

I LOVE these cookies. I grew up calling them Forgotten Cookies (b/c of the cooking method) and adding chocolate chips. I have never thought of trying them w/ no cal sweetener. Thanks for the GREAT idea!

I have only tried the cookies n cream and cookie dough version. The cookie dough was suprisingly good. Everyone keeps talking about heating them so I ate 1/2 out of the package and saved the other 1/2 and heated it. I liked it better cold. Today I tried the cookies n cream. Again ate the 1st 1/2 in the AM cold and then…

While at work I drink between 4 to 8 20 oz glasses each day. When I get bored w/ it I will make the occasional quick ice tea (make cup of hot tea and pour on ice and top off w/ water). At home I drink about the same. I really drink the majority after 7pm as it helps me to have something to sip on to NOT get the bored…

I'll vouch for Justin's too and like the other poster, I buy in the little packets as I trust myself to not sneak "just one more taste" when it 's prepackaged like that. Nutella really is yummy though. Like a nice jar of icing.......

I either do a half container of greek yogurt or drink half an Atkins Dark Chocolate Royale or eat half a Quest Bar if I have on hand. If not I make a peanut butter foldover on the Nature's Own 50 calorie 100% whole wheat bread. Sometimes before eating if I kind of went crazy on calories during the day I will try out a cup…

I have been drinking 1/2 of an Atkins Advantage Chocolate Royale in the evenings after dinner if I get the munchies. Since it's been such a pretty spring, I have been doing stuff in the garden after work or playing w/ my daughter outside prior to dinner. Helps keep my mind from the fridge and also helps me chug down some…

I am 5 ft and am 149 and am fitting perfectly into a 10P. I have found that every 10-12lbs usually equates to a size down (or up - boo!!) for me.

I used to use MyNetDiary and LOVED it. But I have a good friend who I am supporting (she asked me to join MFP) here and I have grown to really like MFP. If you have a friend who doesn't like MFP I would highly recomment MyNetDiary - but don't know much about other apps/websites.

Me too! I am really shooting for the 115-120 range but know I will probably end up about 130. I have done it before and I am happy there - it's just not as great as the 115-120 range where I can wear just about ANYTHING I want and it hangs perfectly ;) Good

Five foot even here! My starting weight was 155 and right now I am at 150. I can actually tell a difference in my jeans. It's amazing how much 5lbs is when you are SHORT!! Feel free to add me :)

This is exactly my weak point too. Every time I have lost weight, it has been when I eat correctly and cut out the wine. Heck, even when I was pregnant I lost weight just from the good diet and cutting alcohol (starting weight when pregnant: 150, weight as I left the hospital w/ the baby: 139 - it was awesome). I just…

In general, 1400 calories is pretty easy for me when I actively am watching my diet and really trying. I am not sure how MFP comes up w/ 1200. When I use another tracking app I was always in the 1350-1400 range depending on my activity level.

Oh my gosh! Those look SO good. I love baked oatmeal and my go to is always the same, oats, banana, blueberries, and almond milk. It's good but getting a little old. I can not WAIT to try your version. YUM!

I totally understand lennyfitz77. Up to now I have used MyNetDiary and it's great. I joined here b/c a friend asked me. When I use a tracking system I am all over the weight loss and management. When I don't, I ALWAYS gain back. ALWAYS!! Sometimes it takes a year to do but it never fails.

Hi - I am new. My dear friend has jumped into weight loss and asked me to join MFP to cheer her on. Well I too need to lose about 40-45 lbs so here I am :) SW: 160 CW: 153 GW: 115 I'm closing in on 43 and stand at just 5'0". Today is my 2nd day on MFP but about 3 weeks into my weight loss journey. I don't have any amazing…
