Everyone has to have to have a few light, silly books-you have to include the entire "Shopaholic" series! Extremely funny!

Although I am far from being a nutritionist or body builder- I usually handle sweet and crunchy cravings for some of the flavored rice cakes. There are flavors ranging from cheddar and nacho cheese to chocolate and blueberry. I also believe that I in particular, have to give in to my cravings sometimes to be successful at…

Many of us here at MFP are diet pros! I, too have been on many diets, many costly, some successful,- but also gained the weight all back over time. I have only been on MFP 2 months and Weight Watchers Online 6 months prior to that- but MFP is my favorite! AND its a lifestyle change, an awareness about eating healthier-NOT…

It's very difficult to handle all that we are given sometimes. If you can look at each of your stressors individually and decide how to handle them one by one, it may seem less overwhelming! Anything you can control feels good. For me, that at least means controlling my food intake! It seems sometimes that is the only…

Also drink water and track every bite that goes into your mouth! For exercise try and shake it up and do different…

Both of these can easily be packed in a backpack along with fruit and a sandwich for an all day study marathon at the library. I'm all about portability and having readily available snacks so I won't be tempted by vending…

I agree with the rest- I track everything- to hold myself accountable! I just left WW online. Although you did not have to track most fruits and vegetables- that was up to 5 servings in a day only. My weight begin to barely budge with WW tracking. When I began to use MFP- the nutritional info helped me see that my cup of…

Welcome to MFP and congrats on the upcoming nuptials! I have been married 30 years to my best friend-some hard work, but many more joyful moments! With all the things we cannot control in life (and marriage), learning to control our eating and exercise patterns can be very stress releasing and freeing! Blessings on your…

People get used to the way we look over time and that's how they identify with us, that what makes them comfortable...When we make changes, especially relatively quick ones, I think people become uncomfortable and unsure. After awhile, they will not even remember what you looked like before and will have nothing to comment…
