i have this problem also so what i do in this case is get as close as possible by tracking a similar meal at chain restaurant like applebees. I know this is not totally accurate but it is better than not tracking at all. I also add like an extra few calories to insure i don't go over. Probably not the best thing to do but…

i always try to double check especially if something sounds way off. If it is just a little over i leave it but if it is even a tiny bit under i put my own in . That way i pretty much know i am not going over.

Thanks Molly, i look forward to these posts in the morning they really help me to stay focused and remain openminded to change!!! have a great day!:flowerforyou:

I didn't go for that one but a friend did and she said big rip off. I told her when she told me she ordered it that water is the best body cleanser and i still believe that. My Doctor agreed when i brought the subject to her, She told me to increase my water and i would feel better and it works for me!

Thanks so much Molly, I am an emotional eater and this really helped me to remember to keep things in perspective, just for today!!

i am not sure how to change them but usually i just get the package and add my own and then share it with other users if i find one that is off. wishing you a very successful and happy day!:flowerforyou:

i use fleishmans light margarine, tastes good and i use less.

That was a great post and so true i have also learned these very things over years and if i just stick with them i will reach my goal weight once and for all. have a great day

i guess everyone is different, i am always over on my protein and don't worry about that at all. I concern myself with fat content mainly. I had 2 different Dr. tell me if you keep your fat gms below 35 a day you will lose weight, apparently they were right where i am concerned. Its working and it worked before but when i…

One thing i did learn is not to beat myself up over things already done. I just make a commitment to myself to better the next day. I also try to ge a little more exercise in after i have eaten over my calories. Hang in there one day won't break you, just hop back on the wagon . Have a happy mother's day!:flowerforyou:…

well if i still drank, which NO WAY cause it caused me too many problems LOL----i would have a vodka and grapefruit juice or 30, see why i don't drink anymore. have a successful day! :laugh: :drinker: :flowerforyou:

i have done the "go box" when i order, and it does help me alot , I also drink a full glass of water with lemon and it helps. Thanks for the post Molly. very helpful:drinker:

NO Way!!!! Do not that demon ( as i call it) win, no don't do it. My thinking gets me into all kinds of crazy situations if i am not careful. I can think myself into success or failure everyday in every area of my life. Today i am thinking positive and when a negative thought enters i immediately counteract it with a…

I can totally relate to what you are saying. I am divorced and single today by choice. People always assume i am lonely which i am not cause i am ok with me today. I think you are making the right choices for yourself and that is what each of us needs to do. When the time is right you will start to date and the one that is…

OMG! This has been a constant struggle for me. I do really well all day and then at night its like a demon comes to life. What i have started doing is saving some calories for "snacktime" cause it is coming. I usually have a fat free yogurt with a TBSP of ff whipped topping and that satisfies my sweet craving. Then I try…

one word INCONSIDERATE!!!!! Oh i could go on but i am trying to be more spiritually fit today!

That sounds really good, would you happen to have the nutritional values on them ? I am really trying to keep up on tracking my food diary accurately this time. Last time i got off track with it and gained so much weight back. Thanks in advance for any info you might have. Wishing you a blessed and successful day

thanks for another great post, so true!!

night eating has been a nightmare for me for so long. Finally what my Dr. and I came up with was a snack before bed but a light and healthy one to be eaten at least one hour before i lay down. I have been choosing fat free yogurt with 2 TBSP of fat free cool whip. So far this has satisfied my cravings to eat before bed and…

I wish i could remember back that far, i can say i have noticed a big change from age 20 to 48!! As we age our bodies change each year so any changes whether noticeable to us or not are taking place.

welcome back, i am just coming back to mfp also, wishing you much success!!

i think taking them to a homeless shelter is a great idea

I knew i fell off way back when i didn't do anything about it, i continued to justify and rationalize my eating and not exercising until i gained all the weight i lost back with the exception of 9 lbs. I had lost 42. So now i am basically starting from ground zero. It has been really hard to get back on track but i finally…

Welcome back Leslie! I just recommitted to MFP 3 days ago myself. I lost 42 lbs using this site and then fell off gaining back all but 9 lbs and I am really feeling it. So I am back on track taking it one day at a time and keeping the faith. I am having a little difficulty getting back in the exercise mode, have started…

I'm with you!! I recently came back to MFP also. Last year I lost 42 lbs using this site and as of today gained it all back but 9 lbs. I logged in yesterday for the first time. I also suffer from depression and believe me this weight gain has not helped. I need to get motivated to exercise. I walked yesterday and and am…

I am back also. Trying not to kick myself to hard but man i am so disappointed right now. i used this site to help me lose 42lbs and then i quit coming on here and fell off the wagon and gained 22 lbs back now i am fairly certain it is more than that and i am miserable. I logged in today and made the decision to do it…

I am definitely in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

that was great. i am saving it for my boyfriend to read, however i will of course be interpeting it for him the whole time since men just don't get it if we don't tell them LOL :flowerforyou:

I am also just getting restarted, My battery is low I have been trying to get started since the beginning of the month.:flowerforyou:

Congrats!! Keep up the good work:flowerforyou:
