How do you save calories? Is that allowed?

Thanks, all. I sent her a Private message on FB. I haven't heard back from her yet, but I won't take it personally if I don't hear from her. She's a good person, but she has a life too.

Smashburger is a fast food chain here in Nevada. I guess they "smash" herbs & seasoning into the burgers & chicken patties. The patties are very thin, but they taste heavenly! They also serve french fries baked with garlic & olive oil and they have sweet potato fries too. So Damn good!

WW worked for me in the past, and I reached my goal and made Lifetime.......then I got pregnant. I found out the day I made Lifetime that I was pregnant. Can you believe that Sh#t? ha ha. Anyway, I can't do it anymore. Too expensive. I know the program, so if I still want to do it I can, but not now.

My guess is she already knows I quit. However, there were a couple of really nice women at my meeting. One older lady who was always happy to see me & my baby. She mentioned buying a birthday gift for him which was 2 weeks ago. I would hate to think of her showing up at the meeting with a gift and me never going back. I do…

Some of you are mentioning making up calories, or saving calories. How exactly does that work? Can you under eat your calories and then save them for a big *eating* day?

I can't eat too many acidic fruits (oranges, stawberries, etc) they make my mouth have sores. Maybe I have a bit of an allergy to them? Not sure.

I do LOVE avocados.

What is my Workout routine? I don't really have one. However, I do go hiking 2 - 3 times a week for 30 -60 minutes. Sometimes with my baby in the back pack and other times without. I belong to the gym, but with 3 little ones at home it's hard to get there. When I do go to the gym I either hit the treadmill or swim. Like to…

I had my baby in June, he just turned 1, but I'm still trying to lose the last 9 lbs. I was on WW, but I was at a plateau for 7 months!!! Thought I'd try MFP to see how I would do. So far I've lost about 2.5 lbs. in 3 weeks, so it's going slow but I'm not complaining!

How is MFP working for you? I've been doing it for 3 week and have lost about 2.5 lbs. Heck, I'm not gonna complain though because that's 2.5 lbs more than when I was on WW.

Wow. How interesting to hear that a lot of you had the same problem on WW. On the old system I was able to drop 30 lbs. in a year and I made lifetime. I became pregnant and when I came back, it was the new program. I dropped 15 lbs. pretty quickly but after that I hit a plateau for 7 months!!!! I was between 166 and 170…

If I'm correct, you have 499 calories left in your day. Eat them! Don't starve yourself. Chicken breast thrown in with some salad is a great low cal. meal. Plus, the protein will help fill you up. Drink some water, maybe try a sugar free ice tea. Cheese, some more fruit. Try that.

Great ideas, all. Thank you. It's only 3:21 and we usually eat at 5pm. I'm sooo hungry, I hope 5pm comes soon.

Sorry to tell you this, but for some people, surgery might be the only answer. I've had 3 children and I've been able to lose the wight with all of them, but my body has never been the same. Good luck.

I've been trying to lose the last 10 lbs. after my baby was born. He'll be a year on the 24th. I've been trying to lose it for 7 months on Weight watchers. It's not working for me!!!! So, signed up for MFP....hope this helps me get past my plateau and lost the last 10!
