Macaroni and cheese. I just cannot pass it up. I would be sad if I had to cut that out completely.

I am not an only child but wouldn't mind being one. I can't really recommend having more than one. The only real benefit to it I can see is you always have family around no matter what.

Try some fruit. Maybe with some yogurt. That will usually help with my sweet cravings.

2 large over easy eggs cooked with pam and a piece of dry toast.

I eat 2 large eggs fried with pam and a piece of dry toast for breakfast. I feel like I have had a real breakfast like I like and it's only 210 calories. I am usually good until lunch and not hungry in between. Occasionally I will make a breakfast burrito with eggs cheese and 98% fat free fajita shell. Not real high on…

Have you tried Leslie Sansone walking videos. I love those. I have done her 1 mile video and it burns about 150 calories. It's pretty easy to do, and it's about 20 minutes long.

Don't get discouraged. You mentioned sugar and yes, that can be part of the problem. Weighing food is highly important. Guessing will get you in trouble. Drinking plenty of water will also help and I have found that when I drink unsweetened green tea that seems to make a difference as it helps with any water retention you…

I believe it's true. Our bodies were made for motion, not sitting all the time. That said, I just do my exercises and then what ever cleaning around the house I need to do and do my yard work and what not. While I am all about getting healthy, I am not fanatical about it. Life is too short. Slow or fast the weight will…

You might not be quite ready yet. Sometimes it takes something big to get you serious about it. Mine was a picture of myself. I had no idea I looked that bad until that picture was taken. I cried, and then I got mad at myself for letting things get so bad. I put that pic up so I had to look at it every single day to remind…

I personally don't care how anyone else does what they do. If it works for you and you are happy with what you are doing, the kudos and awesome job! I too do things that work for me and make me happy. There is nothing wrong with either way as long as it is something you can stick to. I wouldn't be able to do it and stick…

I use to hate the weekends until I figured out that I am not letting it stop me from doing what I got to do. I eat what I want but I still watch what I am doing. I don't want to pay for it later. I put in too much work to screw up what I have done just for something that tastes good for 5 minutes. I have cheat days now and…

I don't like exercising until I get up and do it anyway. The getting started part is the worst part but, I push past that because you can't lose weight and get in shape sitting on your rump. It is a necessary part of improving your health in more ways than one. Once I get off my butt and stop procrastinating, I am always…

I use ounces for myself. I am not trying to complicate my life anymore than I have to and I am not good with anything else other than oz.

I have only had one person say something and it was my guy's dad. I don't think he even would have said anything if he hadn't been told I was losing anything. People always tell you they can see it in your face. I am not trying lose weight in my face lol. But that is one of the first places people seem to notice it most.

When my youngest was about 5, she use to run her hand down her face and either tell me I need to put make up on or I would never find a boyfriend looking like that. Another time I was teasing her and she ran her hand down her face all exasperated and said we need to find you a boyfriend, you have too much time on your…

For me, I would say step ups. I love those.

The only fats I pay any attention to is saturated and trans fats. Other than that I am not overly worried about it. I am more concerned with sodium being an issue than anything, other than my calorie intake that is.

Garlic. I love garlic on everything. I would freak out if we ever ran out of it.

I weigh around 7 give or take after I go to the bathroom. Seems the best time to do it.

I have only had this happen once. I woke up just starving to death around that time. I tried to ignore it and go back to sleep but I never went back to sleep. When breakfast time rolled around, I never tasted eggs that tasted that awesome before. Now, I try to make sure I have some kind of a snack before bed and I don't…

I am glad you posted this. I wondering this myself. I kind of assumed that was the problem. I have still been exercising and drinking unsweetened green tea and water and not going over my calories. I am not gaining but not losing either and figured this was why so now it's confirmed.

No, I don't eat mine back. I don't work outside the home so I am not as active as most people except for the exercise I do. That is only 2 miles of walking and maybe some step ups for about 15 minutes. I don't count normal daily activities in my calories burned either. I found if I eat mine back, which I did in the…

We are adults and know the difference between right and wrong. There is no need to put blame on anyone else. Learning to stop blaming everybody else for your own personal choices is when you start getting things done.

For fast food in a hurry (at least suppose to be a hurry) we stop at McDonald's and I get a grilled onion cheddar burger at 310 calories and a small fry that is maybe 120 I think.

Try SkinnyMom.com. They have a ton of low cal foods.

Chester's fried chicken. I love it but I look at it now and think of all the fat and sodium and how much work I have to do to get rid of it. I may occasionally have a piece but, only rarely.

I am always on MFP. Here every day. Feel free to add if you like :). The more the merrier.

My wake up call was a picture. I was asked to take a picture with my guy on the back of a Harley. I really didn't want to do it but it was Father's day so I went with it. His daughter took the picture and showed it to me and I just about fell on the ground because of how bad it looked. I thought I looked pretty decent for…

I cook all my meals at home. I eat things like spaghetti, chicken cordon bleu, steak. all kinds of things. I just watch my portions and I am trying to watch my sodium and fat intake but not ocd about it. I personally like peanutbutter sandwiches for lunch or a yogurt and at breakfast I always have some sort of egg with…

You are more than welcome to add me to your list. I know what you mean about being lazy and unmotivated. I was getting so sick of catching myself sitting on my bum as much as I was and got tired of being tired and hurting in places I shouldn't be hurting. I tried going on diets before and failed but instead of looking at…
