I'm going to a BBQ tonight and plan to do the above - estimate the best I can based on similar foods in the database.

My goal is to cut back, not cut out sugar. I enjoy my sweets!

If you allow yourself a 400 calorie dinner, cut back 50 calories a day for the next 4 days (or eat 600 and cut back 100 calories a day for the next 4 days), and then you're back on track. :)

I'd like to get back to 140 lbs. (I'm 5'6), so 10 lbs. I'm set at losing .5 lb a week: 1,650 calories a day. I can't go any lower than that, as I love food! Lol

1/2 cup cottage cheese 1 scoop chocolate protein powder 2 tbsp PB2 1 banana 1 tbsp sugar free chocolate pudding mix 2 packets Stevia 1/2-3/4 cup water Handful of ice cubes Blend and enjoy! Soooooo good! :)

I don't pay any attention to that.

No, I don't have that on my phone (I have an android). :( Thank you anyway....I appreciate you taking the time to help me!

Thanks for trying to help. I've looked and looked everywhere and cannot find it. I can't find it on my phone either. :-/

Amazing! Great job...you look fantastic!

Wow! You look great!! :)

Absolutely amazing!!! You look great!

Amy's frozen meals are pretty good, and a lot healthier than the other stuff you see at the store. Kind of pricey though.

Yes, I enjoy seeing how I did at the end of the day. I'm keeping a special watch on my sugar intake, as I have a huge sweet tooth that I want to get rid of!

I would think that as soon as you start eating solid food again, the weight would come right back. It also sounds miserable. Liquids don't fill me. If I had just shakes for lunch and dinner, I would be one irritable you know what. :-O

Thank you so much! How do I set the day for the beginning of my week? :)

I agree! I am on thyroid meds and a few others. They haven't caused me to gain weight. I gained weight because I let it happen.

Yes, I do believe that. I am 5'6 and look and feel good at 140. That is a number that I can maintain fairly easy. I was 130-135 until I hit 40, but it was a struggle to maintain.

I'm 915 under (I started tracking Tuesday). This is the MFP app for phones/the tracker. If you go to "nutrition" and then "weekly", it will show a bar graph and show a number: net calories under weekly goal. This is the part I don't understand. ???

I really like the Life Choice protein bars (I get them at Wal-Mart). The peanut butter are yummy, and the fudge graham are often dessert for me....soooo good!

3, unless I wake up late on the weekend. Then I just have an early lunch (so 2).

I love food, and ate too much of it for too long without even thinking about it. :-O

My husband dropped 20 lbs. in 4 months just by cutting (way) down on carbs. He never counts calories. Me? There is no way I can live without my carbs, lol ETA: Congratulations on your weight loss. That is a tremendous accomplishment!!!

yes!

Dinner, yes. Breakfast and lunch...usually outside when the weather is nice (like now). :)

I would love to have some more friends here too! Please feel free to add me. :)

I know that when I tried Weight Watchers out, a 3 Musketeers bar was one of the lowest point chocolate bars I could find in their database.

Ice cream!

I don't like anything heavy in the morning. I usually have some yogurt or toast...maybe a protein shake.

I can't eat them because of the high fiber content. My stomach is really sensitive to fiber. :-/ My daughter loves them however (although she did say you have to acquire a taste for them).

My husband has dropped 20 lbs. in 4 months just by knocking out carbs..no counting calories. He has taken it to the extreme though, and hasn't had a piece of fruit since March. :-/ I personally cannot give up carbs. I'm just watching my calories.
