^^^^^^ ditto what they said. By planning you don't have to wonder what you're going to eat. Also, some people change their meals to being breakfast, am snack, lunch, pm snack, dinner, evening snack. They do this to spread their food out and keep their blood sugars level. FYI

I'm 5'1.5". Feel free to add me. I've been sick the past few days, so my eating has not been good but I usually eat a variety of things on my 1200, including all types of foods. Take care

Maybe your body is legitimately hungry. Your diary is closed so I can't see what you eat and I'm not sure about your height and weight and activity level. If you are eating enough, try to get some hobbies and try to focus on other things. If you think about food all the time, it's going to make you crave it even more…

My mum makes a similar one on hamburger buns with boiled eggs cut up, diced ham, celery, onion, grated cheese, mayo, etc. they were delicious when I still ate ham. Your recipe sounds yummy too, except I would need to take out the ham and bacon. Yum yum

Super attitude!!!! So true :) ~~~~ And OP, you have a super positive attitude too. You will succeed :)

Other than the fridge motor kicking in it is quiet here right now. Enjoying the peace and quiet. :)

Can you help your Mum/Dad serve up the plates and thereby prepare your own plate, so you can manage what goes on it and in what quantity? If so, try this. If they comment it is not enough, you can always indicate that you will go back for seconds if you are hungry. At some point it may be helpful to talk about your goals…

My Mum does mostly walking. She's almost 80. I'm 47 and haven't started anything yet; but intend to start walking soon. Add me if you would like :). Take care :)

I'm 5'1.5" and on a 1,200 calorie plan. I'm small framed, so my goal is the bottom number suggested by the CDC. I'm not sure if I will go that low but I have a ways to go before I need to decide ... haha. Add me if you would like :). Take care

If you only eat a bowl of cereal for your whole day, the system will definitely remind you to eat more. I think what you did was click on "complete entry" which is what you do at the end of your whole days entry. You don't have to press it when you add items through the day. You can also add to your items even if you press…

It works now when I input 1200. You must have fixed whatever wasn't working 45 minutes ago. Thanks so much!!!!!!!!

Super :). Will do :)

Is your email address the one at the link starting with JM? I can take screen shots for you and send them to you. Let me know. I did go in and input things fresh and still had the same problem.

I got #REF! And #VALUE! for some fields. Love the calculator though. Wish all the fields worked for me. When I lowered the calories each day from 1,200 to 800, the fields with #VALUE! gave me figures although two other fields still give me #REF! "It will take you" and "you would lose" are the two fields that give me #REF!

Ditto what others said before me. Also I wouldn't go with a cheat "day" as you could really blow your calories out of the water. Certainly splurge for a meal, special occasion or when watching a game with your friends, etc. try to stick with your calorie allowance or go a bit over but if you really eat many calories it…

Way to go!!! Great work and effort :). Congrats

Welcome and congrats to you for making the first step to being healthy. Five big things helped me. One, to log everything in your food diary (everything). Two - having a great group of friends on MFP (we encourage each other along the way). Three - drink WATER. It helps get rid of water retention and sodium your body is…

Congrats :)

You look great and I bet you feel great too :). Congrats :)

You can get no salt canned tomatoes. Also there are no salt mixed spices that you can get specifically for certain things; such as soup, fish, meat, etc. Check at your grocery store. If they don't have them, ask as maybe they would bring them in for you. You could also mix your own, if you can't get any. When picking…

I was diagnosed with Graves' disease (hyperthyroid) in 2001. I was given propranalol to slow down my heart as I was a walking heart attack/stroke. Once I saw the endo, I had already had all the tests done. Basically they gave me no choice with regards to rai or surgery. I wanted surgery and they refused and basically…

Well done !!! Congrats to you :)

I have a homemade version from a Mennonite cookbook and it says to add whatever vegetables you like. I usually will put carrots, broccoli and cauliflower. I usually buy the frozen vegetables and you can cook them with your pasta. It makes for an easy meal.

If you can't stay away from fast food entirely, try to find the most healthy options, even if you are looking at the deep fried things. I know for my son, I try to pick the "healthier" options. For example, in Canada, Wendy's chicken fingers are made with real unprocessed chicken. It is the same as if you cut up chicken at…

If you want, you can add me too ;)

Great success :). You must feel wonderful! Congrats
