  • I've found that peanut butter (all natural) and Greek yogurt keep me full for a while. Also eggs - really anything that has lots of protein in it - these tend to be things that have good amounts of good-for-you calories. I always eat breakfast and that helps with making sure my calorie count is at or slightly above where I…

    in hi im new here Comment by emmieb10 August 2011
  • Well, let me speak on behalf of everyone.... NO FAIR!!! I wish I had your problem!! :smile: I would say this - are you eating lots of fiber? That might be causing the full problem.

Good luck and keep up the…

    in better to log your exercise calories or not? Comment by emmieb10 August 2011
  • Welcome back! Good luck to you - I know it's tough getting into a routine that you can stick with; I'm struggling with the very same thing. I really like being on here - my sister is on here, too - so we motivate each other daily through friendly verbal abuse. :smile: I really like looking at what other people are doing…
