Thank you Shannon that's helpful I will pickup some this weekend.

I drink EIGHT cups of water each day! If I try to spread it out I find that I only manage to drink 2 cups.

Before I began tracking I wasn't eating healthy so that's totally not the direction I want to go. Before tracking most days I didn't eat breakfast at all. I ONLY drink water. NO juice. NO soda. NO tea.]

I "force" the water because its the only way I can get in the recommended 640z. When I "spread it out" I only manage to drink two cups. I don't drink anything but water.

Oatmeal, Kale & Collards (mixed), and Beans

I have over 200 pounds to lose. My ticker reads 100 or maybe 50 because I don't want to ovrrwhelm myself with such a big number. You can certainly add me I'll be here on this journey until I reach my goal and well beyond

999tigger I've purchased food and prepped and froze. Its not an issue of knowing what to eat the problem is forcing the water is leaving me too full to eat the food. I ate the oatmeal before drinking anything then forced 4 c. water. It still feels like all of that is sitting in my belly like cement. Either I can drink the…

Trish, I wasn't trying to feel full by the serving size. I used the flax for fullness I was just trying to increase calories. Maybe I'll try adding milk to my oatmeal. At the rate I'm going I'm not going to hit 1,000 calories and certainly not the calories MFP suggested. Trying to figure this all out is a bit frustrating.

Very slowly. Lmao! Maybe that's why I'm so dang full. A serving is 1 cup (cooked) maybe I'll have 1 cup from now on. Yesterday MFP said my calories were too low so I thought increasing the oatmeal would help.

Kudos! I'm looking forward to that day myself!

YOU CAN DO IT! WE CAN DO IT!
