You can make better choices at virtually any restaurant! The last time I went to Olive Garden, I had the zuppa tuscana soup and a chicken caesar salad, no croutons, with balsamic vinegar on the side. The apricot chicken is also fairly safe. It's glazed chicken breast with asparagus on the side. It isn't easy to eat these…

You CANNOT out-exercise a horrible diet. No matter how much cardio you do, that large pizza afterward is unacceptable and the exact reason you aren't losing weight. Get off the elliptical and pick up something heavy. DO NOT SMOKE THAT CIGARETTE. You are pretty, and not just pretty "for a brown skinned girl." Your friends…

This post is pretty lame.

Nomnompaleo is amazzzing!

@idauria, IF is not about shaving off calories; it is simply a set feeding window, during which you are supposed to eat your recommended daily calories. In no way, shape, or form is it similar to anorexia. I like IF because it takes off the pressure to "fuel the fire" every 3-4 hours. Ain't nobody got time for all that…

This is all great stuff. Currently loving this group!

This is so awesome. I am not 100% on point yet but this gives me so much hope! Congratulations!

SMH, why all the snark? I do believe she's aware that she gained the weight by eating too much. Sometimes you people are just a hot boiling mess. Anyway, OP, totally feel your pain! Going on two years with my man and he's just now getting into the gym with me. His eating habits still suck but I am FINALLY taking it upon…

Let me know how the food tastes! That is a pretty good deal.

I quit smoking a little over three months ago using Chantix. It's been a tough journey, but I actually tried to cheat yesterday (drunken NYE f*ckery), and the cigarette was much too strong...it burned my throat!. Two drags and it was out the window. Chantix worked amazingly well for me and I occasionally use an electronic…

Quit smoking cigarettes (last cig was 109 days ago :D) Finally came to the realization that for me, it's all about the FOOD (all thanks to MFP!!!). I used to believe that 5 days/week in the gym was to be "rewarded" with pizza or Chinese take out. Beginning to understand the HUGE role nutrition plays in weight loss, and…

"You MUST eat every couple of hours, or your metabolism will completely stall and you will die." No breakfast = forever fat.

Stopped reading after the ice cream cake diss. I don't even appreciate that.

I plan to start tomorrow. I am SKURRED. Seems intense.

*Raises hand* I totally feel ya! I had my last cigarette 89 days ago (also used Chantix) and I miss it like crazy. There was something about a glass of wine and cigarette that was just... pure excellence. I still crave them but try to remind myself of the awesome feeling of running without feeling like death. I also have…

Idk I think I'll hold off...seems the only people saying positive things have only one post and no user pic. Suspicious. Bridgeo74, please keep us updated! Hope you're feeling better.

$2 a meal isn't bad at all...the question is, will it satisfy me enough to actually replace a meal? Idk, idk. I'm just super skeptical. Pleeeaasse keep us updated!!

I want to try this sooo badly, but the lack of reviews anywhere other than the website leaves me highly suspicious!!! $60/bag is not chump change!

Truth.

Just no.

Just sayin' :P

Well, this is MFP, so I'm just going to go ahead and assume that many of us have some sort of issue with food...otherwise we'd all be at goal, no?

THIS. If you don't like the post, just leave it. You people act as though you're being forced to read the man's posts. Go away, tbh. OP: I could never do this, but I commend your willpower! Excellent post.

As usual, what started off as a lighthearted, fun thread has turned all ~serious business~. SMH. Some of you need to relax. No one is "bashing" you or your choice in gyms. It's not that serious, for f**ks sake.

Exactly. Douchery at its finest.

Good stuff here.
