Salad dressings
Hi all. I'm doing CICO and have had some success. I'd like to start eating more salads but the dressing can be a diet killer. Any good low cal or fat free (generally much less calorie dense) dressings out there that people recommend?

Clothes fitting better...?
Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon: you lose weight, certain clothes feel better, but that one item of clothing you want to fit bitter just seems as tight as ever? I have a pair of jeans that has always fit--at my heaviest and currently at my lighter weight self. Certain shirts really seem to have opened up and…

30 day challenge
Anyone ever hear of the 30 day challenge? There is a great TED talk on the subject. Basically you try something that you have always said, "I should do that" or "I should try that" and you do it for thirty days. Overall, you do it to try and make yourself a better person. The 30 day challenge may not stick after 30 days,…

Just venting - relationship
My last relationship ended about two months ago. He denied it being about my weight, but he certainly gave some hints. For instance, we went out to eat one night at a prix fix meal and I ate everything (as did he) and he commented that I did not need to eat dessert. Another time he insisted that I work out every night that…

Joined a health program, now i need labs
My work offered a health program through our insurance and I signed up, thinking it would help stimulate my mind to focus on weight loss. Today I received an email detailing how I need to get labs: cholesterol and blood sugar, to start the program. It makes me nervous. I guess I fear that I may have unknown high…

Fiber intake
How are people doing on here with fiber intake? I used to eat a lot of beans before starting MFP, but because of the calorie content I've cut back. It has resulted in changing body habits that I'd like to change back, so I'll probably just be adjusting what I cook to increase bean intake. Really just curious, how many on…

Bad weekend
Okay, so the title is a little misleading: I had a bad Sunday. I woke up not feeling very great, and had little motivation. I binged quite a bit and was really off the diet bandwagon. I don't see it as a bad thing: I can feel that I am learning and growing. For one, I did tell myself: "why are you eating? You aren't…

Eating out: need advice!
For Valentine's Day I'm going out to eat. It's a fancier restaurant but serves most of the typicals: salads, sandwiches with fries, baked chicken, fish, pasta, etc. Just wondering if anyone has a few go to menu items which are common enough that you can apply them to most places? I think a Caesar salad with chicken would…

My weight loss motivation - includes my ex
I had been dating someone steadily for a few months, it had been going well. Like any relationship we had some highs and some lows, but overall everything seemed highly positive. Towards the end I found myself getting told, "go to the gym every night this week" or "did you really need dessert?" Such comments hurt. I…
