Amy's Light & Lean. And there are a few lean cuisines that are pretty good. 3 cheese rigatoni, brocolli potatoes and cheese, the chicken parm, and the parmesean encrusted fish. They're not that bad as long as you don't eat them for every meal :)

The "don't keep it in the house" thing doesn't work for me. I will literally binge eat anything -- tortillas, cereal, nuts, etc. One thing I read that somebody posted on these boards that has helped me is this: "If I ever feel the urge to binge I just ask myself "Can you just not binge today? Can you make it just for today…

yum!

Just finished Week 1, Day 3. I didn't stretch beforehand and my ankles hurt as soon as they hit the pavement! I might do the Week 1 routine a few more times before starting week 2...I'm still completely dying by the end, although I can complete it. How far are you guys going during Week 1? I have Nike+ in the background to…

Thanks for that post! I just started on MFP and I was feeling really down last night after messing up...like I would never succeed and just keep failing. This is an inspiration! And 96 pounds...I'm proud of you :)

you look GOOD! :) You're an inspiration!

Thinner is good. My WW one is kind of wacky.

I'm in! Did my first day on Friday outside (SO much harder than inside). I almost died. I went to the gym today and did elliptical....are you not supposed to work out in-between days, or are you just not supposed to run in-between days? Either way, I've always wanted to be able to run outside and I can't right now so I'm…

I've been through hell with eating. Add me and we can support each other :)

I tell lies like this all the time. I, too, have friends that are trying to lose weight but not trying that hard...and when they suggest going to Bojangles I make an excuse about having a lot of work or something. Because if I say, "No, I'm trying to eat well," then yes, it's me being like, "You guys are being fat." Don't…

This really is keeping me motivated. I was 171 last week with at 151 goal for Christmas and a 131 goal total :) And I lost 2 pounds this first week. Every time I think of stuffing my face I think of the spreadsheet and it helps! Excited about this :) Feel free to add me!

I've always struggled with eating too much to early in the day and being hungry at night, so I try to eat 3 meals a day, 300 calories each, and 3 snacks a day (some time after each meal), 100 calories each. For a total of 1200 calories. But if you're comfortably staying within 1200 calories and not starving, then it's all…

Hi Maria! It's never to late to change your life. It's cheesy, but it's true. Sometimes I feel so down like I'm never going to be able to escape who I've become, and then I log on here and getting support from other people really makes all the difference. My advice is to friend a lot of people, and update regularly for…

I have this issue too! I make 2 eggs with 2 tbs cream cheese to make them creamy...that's around 220 calories. Then I eat it with salsa. It's almost like going to brunch but healthier :) If that doesn't work, special k cracker chips!

Thanks for the support and suggestions. You don't know how much it means to me!

I'm in a similar situation! I eat emotionally all the time, and I realize it's about time I do something about it. I realize that eating emotionally makes me even more sad...and at some point, I need to stop the viscous cycle! I'm with you girl, we can support each other :)

14 blue diamond almonds = about 100 calories!

I've actually been weighing myself on tuesdays, and I hope it's okay I stick with that. I'll just have to update the spreadsheet 2 days after everybody else! and my other goal is to fit into my jeans that are at the bottom of my pile because they don't fit!

I'm in! I actually made a list exactly like this but I started on 9/20. My goal is to lose 2 lbs for each of the first two weeks, and then 1.5 pounds every week after. Excited that other people have the same idea!

I know beer if usually thought of as the anti-diet drink, but I like to order it. I always know that 12 oz is about 100 calories...whereas with a glass of wine, you have no idea how much is in your glass. And you have no idea how much liquor bartenders put in a mixed drink. It helps me keep track! Plus I happen to like…

Hi guys! I'm so happy you responded :) I think this will just be a good place to talk and keep each other on track. Have any of you done couch to 5k? I have the hardest time running, especially outside, and I was thinking of trying it. It might be easier to push myslef to walk out my door and start running than to drive to…
