Quest bar old/new formula taste test (Chocolate Brownie)
Chocolate Brownie is my current favorite flavor. I have a box each of the old and new recipes so I put them to a side-by-side test. In terms of the nutritional facts, the only big change is the new one has 15g of fiber vs 19g in the old bar. Calories are identical, 170. Protein for both is 20g. The new formula removes the…

Lost 5 pounds in 5 days. Can that be right?
I'm in my 5th month of losing weight. The breakdown of the first 4 is like this: month 1: 9.2 pounds month 2: 7.2 pounds month 3: 5.2 pounds month 4: 5.6 pounds I realize that weight loss is often more rapid at the start then tapers off.

Do you celebrate your milestones?
If so, how? When I began, I thought I would celebrate 10 pounds off, 20, etc. But I never bothered. I looked at the scale at those times and shouted "YES!" but that was about it. To me, the biggest one was entering OneDerland. That night I was going to have a big dinner, but changed my mind. I didn't want to jeopardize…

Dropped below 200 pounds today!
My first day was January 6 at 221 pounds. Today the scale read 199. So that's 10% of my weight, 22 pounds, in 80 days. I lost 9 pounds in the first month, 7 pounds in the second and the rest since then. Hit a few plateaus, the longest about 2 weeks. I'm using only MFP, watching the calories and not following any special…

How to count calories in frozen chicken wings?
I took out 4 frozen chicken wings (plain, unbreaded, uncooked wing pieces) with a total weight of 8.2 ounces in their frozen, uncooked state. After cooking, they weighed only 3.5 ounces and the leftover bones were a total of 1 ounce. So I had only 2.5 ounces of chicken? Where did all the weight go? Water and grease? And…

Looking for some spices to spice things up
I now eat a lot of "plain" foods, i.e. plain chicken or turkey, plain vegetables, etc. which can get boring after a while. I'm looking for some low calorie spices to give these foods a little boost. Can anyone recommend some?

I'm not losing weight from my upper body
(53 year old man) I've lost 14 pounds so far and I'm able to wear smaller size pants. But my belly, chest, arms, face and neck seem to be just as flabby as ever. Is there any way to "steer" where my body loses weight? I don't do a ton of exercise. Mostly walking (but a LOT of walking) and some bicycling.

Does your stomach really shrink?
I'm curious to ask people who have lost a significant amount of weight (like 50 pounds or more)...does the capacity of your stomach decrease as you lose weight? I've heard people say "your stomach shrinks" but was never sure if that was a myth.

Anyone else hit a really long plateau?
I lost weight at a nice, steady rate for about 4 weeks then WHAM, I hit a wall and haven't lost an ounce in a week. And I've been under my calorie budget every day without fail. Frustrating as hell.
