flounder, oven fries (made with Idaho potatoes), fresh asparagus (all baked in the oven)

I just thought of another snack I have with coffee...a low fat waffle with light spreadable laughing cow cheese and a few almonds or walnuts on top.

I like something with coffee as a snack also. I usually bring to work 1 slice whole grain bread with almond butter and all fruit jelly. I like a bread textured type item with my coffee. Sometimes I have a Quest protein bar. They have all different flavors.

That's awesome, and very nice of you to share all of that info...

Low sugar grape jelly...yum...

I'd LOVE to see your spreadsheet, too ! PLEASE :)

Can I ask how many calories you ladies are eating? I am 5'3" 1/2 and I just can't seem to lose. I have tried many diet plans, but nothing seems to work. Jenny Craig worked, but that was the only plan. I wasn't exercising either. Now I am doing elliptical 1 hour per day. Burns like 550 calories. I need help.

thanks you all so much. i think i am overthinking it. i will do what you said eric - now it's crystal clear.

thanks for all the replies. i have set my MFP to lose 1.5 lbs per wk, so it is now giving me 1500 calories a day. i can surely survive on that. at 1240 I was WAY too hungry. ONE MORE QUESTION .... I told the MFP I do 10 min of exercize 7 days a week and it told me to eat 1,500 cals per day. Just to be sure I am doing this…

yep, this is ME. i have the same problem. last nite i did great, did my exercize, then at 300 cals worth of cheez itz. the nite before it was cereal. the night before that popcorn. it's a never ending cycle. i need help.

Nevermind just mornings...I am like that ALL the time. I know what you are going through. I start at 8am, and have to listen to all the cr*p about what they did the day before or over the weekend or about their kids or their husbands, etc... My feeling is we are there to do a job, so let's get to doing it. I am a…

I make a cold cut roll up. I mostly do ham and cheese cold cut roll ups, but turkey and cheese would be good too. Sometimes I add a strip of green pepper and a little mustard.

Wow...good question. Who can pick just one meal? Pizza - half sausage/half pepperoni, Chinese pepper steak, fried rice, eggroll, wonton soup, with an order of Chinese ribs on the side, Chili's Presidente Margaritas (lots of em) with appetizer sampler platter, the local diner's giant cheeseburger deluxe with lots of fries,…

Erica, Right now I have ordered the Ediets meal delivery. It's $130 per week, and 5 days of breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks get delivered to your door. They are fresh, not frozen. You can eat them within 7 days or freeze them. It's nice. Saves alot of hassle of preparing healthy meals. On weekends I eat whatever,…

I've got about 100 lbs. to go myself, so let's do this together !

wow...that's so great...i can't wait until i get to where u are...

Good for you...very good work...that is my first big goal, too...to hit the 200 lb. mark. oh, I can't wait...

keep going, good for u :bigsmile:

Congrats to ALL ! This is very inspiring! :flowerforyou:

Well, I haven't tried freezing eggs yet, but I usually scramble my eggs the night before, then just reheat them for like 30 seconds in the micro the next morning. I also make my turkey bacon on a Sunday, then eat it all week long with eggs or on blt's. I also make a pot of soup over the weekend, so I can have a cup of soup…

:bigsmile: Welcome Lorraine! We are all in this together, and the more we support each other, the better. It's nice to just read everyone's posts to get ideas and helpful tips. Good Luck to you!

I'm looking to get rid of mine, after using it for many years, as I also could not break a sweat. I just bought an elliptical by Nordic Track instead. Broke a sweat in a couple of minutes.

Thanks for answering, Carmen! I appreciate it.:bigsmile:

I want to buy one so badly. Is there a particular brand you recommend?:huh:

Me & my husband have tried fullbars over the past 4 days. Yes; they definitely make us feel full. We eat HALF a bar before lunch and HALF before dinner. We don't eat as much, and it makes us have a full feeling for 4 hours after eating it. We no longer snack after dinner, which we did every night before fullbars. Plus, we…

Homemade vegetable soup...yum! and a small yogurt & a banana. :happy:

That's wonderful! I'm so happy for you! Hoping that can be me one day.

Well, good luck, Sandy...I had a good day yesterday and a good day today, so that's a start. Maryann:ohwell:

Welcome, Sandy...I can certainly relate to what you are going through. I was on Weight Watchers back in Jan., but only lost 10 lbs. and got discouraged. I have been trying to lose on my own, but am struggling. Two steps forward, then two steps back. I lost 10 lbs. last year and kept that off, but now I have gained back the…

:noway: Oh man! That sucks! Feel better! On the up side, at least the losing weight part is a plus...
