Yum!!!! Thanks

Thank you so much for your help. I do not think it is arrogant to state your credentials. I think you answered my question in a very clear and concise manner and one I can understand. My degree happens to be in computer science not health or nutrition so I appreciate you helping to educate me. Lee For others I will…

Good Luck to you LWL. What type of calorie amt have you put yourself on?

Hi there. I have been 165 days on My Fitness Pal at a 1200 calorie intake. I don't always stay at 1200 but I never go above 1800. And that is not all that often. There are just some days I feel I need more food than others. My "Trick" is that I have chosen to eat only healthy foods. Many of those calories are from the 1st…

You have come to the right place. I love My Fitness Pal. I never have been one to follow the pack or like people telling me what to do and then checking on me. This program is all on me. I answer only to me. I can't cheat because I would only be cheating myself. I have lost 42 pounds so far in about 120 days and I have…

Thanks!

wonderful!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome. This is a great site for tracking your food and maintaining your goals. You might want to add some sort of picture even if it is not a personal one. It makes it more friendly. Again, Welcome and good luck.

Thanks

IMO the best is Sparkling flavored water. Wal-mart and Dollar Store carry it in many flavors. NO SODIUM/SALT, NO SUGAR, NO ASPARTAME, CAFFEINE FREE, CALORIE FREE. But it has the carbonation of soda's for that zing.

I keep a supply of Sugar Free Parfait which you get at the Dollar Store.It feels like you are eating a treat but very few calories. I also keep pretzel sticks if I want a salty crunch and little sugar free hard candies. I also give myself about a 100 calories for this late night snack. It is budgeted into my day's calorie…

Yes it is, I am amazed that so many people will take the time to answer my question and in such detail. Thank you everyone! It is much appreciated and I am trying most of the recommendations except the Eggplant which is a ewww for me, lol.

Thank you all so much. This is exactly what I needed to stay on track. I know 1200 is low but a health issue is pushing me towards a more rapid weight loss and I want to keep the rest of the body healthy. Thanks again for all of your input, it is appreciated. Lee

It is great as it gives you several levels to use if your not ready for the full bang. Stick with it if you can. It is fun and works.

The best thing to soda that is not a soda is Flavored Sparkling water, It has no calories or sodium but does have the carbonation of a soda. They are sold at Wal-Mart by the small or large bottle in many flavors and at Dollar Tree by the gallon size. Try one, once you get use to them you will never want another heavy soda.

You give me inspiration. Great job!

Thank you for the link. AND WAY TO GO on your weight loss. I am just starting and hope for success.

Try Zumba. It is a fun dance fitness program that is in levels so that you can participate in a level you are comfortable with and work your way up.
