@AmigaMaria001 Your post made me think of this....lol

I guess it would be time to get inventive.....

There's always fish....

I started keto about a week ago. I have an under-active thyroid - I take synthroid so that helps. When I eat carbs I want more.....and more....and more..... >:) I love keto because my cravings are gone. I actually feel a sense of calm now. :D I don't find myself dreaming about food or the next meal. :p After I lose 10-15…

I've been doing this for about a week. The pros of this diet: You aren't hungry between meals and I like the meals that are low carb (pinterest has a lot of ideas). I don't need to lose much weight, but I have lost 5 pounds in this amount of time (probably water weight - no need to buy a pinata yet). The cons: I used to…

Cans of tuna, sardines (stinky), and chicken. Cottage cheese, string cheese, eggs, and greek yogurt.

Vodka is better than egg nog fo sho :o

Jog.....lots of jogging. B)

Omg totally! If I reach for something, say a piece of cake or chocolate that fits into my calories, and someone says, I thought you were on a diet? Big pet peeve. I just ran 5 miles *kitten*!!!

When I make scrambled eggs, I put about 1/4 cup of cottage cheese in. It makes the eggs fluffy!

I have a thyroid condition. I have to really watch my food intake. If I don't, I get fat. I take my medication like I am supposed to and exercise. I try to even forget I have it, so I don't use it as an excuse. I know that the right foods and staying active will make me feel better. I have to just stay consistent.

I work in an elementary school, so there is never any shortage of sweets, cakes, and treats. I tell people that too much sugar gives me a headache. I even tell the kids that when they are sweet and offer me sweets. (So now they bring me apples from the cafeteria - so cute). Plus if it helps, imagine someone picking boogers…

Ok - I know Oatmeal is wonderful for most people, but for me (and it seems like you) Oatmeal makes me HUNGRY! I have to start my day with protein . I eat eggs with cottage cheese cooked in, grape nuts (10 grams of protein with milk), greek yogurt. When I eat protein for breakfast, it sets my entire day up for success. I am…

Ok, So, I'm a teacher for 4 days a week and for 3 days a week I'm a housewife. Is this sedentary, or lightly active????

Maybe you could buy the individual packs of those things. I think an individual pack of trail mix would be about 100-200 calories.

You should try the recipe feature. I use it all the time because I'm always cooking.

I am aware that my calorie counts may not be that accurate. I do measure my food as far as quantity (like a cup of this, a tbsp of that, ect.) but I do not weigh my food. I use the deck of cards rule. I use mfp as a cut off point. After I reach my calories for the day, I know that if I eat anything else, my numbers will…

Very inspirational! Thank your for showing that hard work and perseverance can make a difference!:wink:

I'm in a super hurry in the mornings too - I get my 5 am work out done - get ready - and off to school (i'm a teacher). Breakfast is at school so I have to pack it along with my lunch. I have a muffin tin with 6 spots. I crack an egg in each one - salt and pepper - cook it at 350 for about 20-30 mins. I take them to work…

Cottage cheese and pineapple - 160 cals greek yogurt - 150 cals apple - 80 cals orange - 60 cals 1 cup of frozen strawberries - 50 cals

Alli....you will **** yourself....true story.:mad:

! cup of black coffee plus 1/4 cup whole milk and one splenda....divine:drinker: !

Or just don't log exercise at all. I don't and I try and stick to my 1790 per day.

Just say, Awesome! I've been drinking Pilates!:drinker:

my husband snore....and someone in the next room farted.... :mad:

I'll watch the video. That was great advice. I think I mostly do it when I'm tired....

I'll accept anybody....:drinker:

Counting calories kind of gives me a cut off point. Like when I go for some cookies, I know that three is better than six. And at the end of the day I don't go rummaging around in the kitchen to eat again if I'm at my cut off.:drinker:

How do you get it.....cuz I need it....like now:cry:

Land of lakes sweet cream butter. It melts like chocolate. Remember, Oprah said that fake butter is only good to use as a hand lotion!:laugh:
