YP10 and SlimMe1
Someone out there must have tried these programs that claim you can lose a pound a day. It's the weight loss plan you hear about on the radio and promoted by DJs who are getting the system for free. Suspicious yet? Just thought I'd ask folks about the untold story. Not really interested in hearing more YouTube testimonials…

Portion Control is a killer!
I only get 1250 calories without exercise so I'm already in a tough spot. I'm not making any progress and I have to accept that the culprit is my portions. DRAT! I have a bowl of cereal and want it to fill me up. I add raisins and textured vegetable protein to boost the flavor and nutrition and that adds another couple…

Amazing hypnosis stories
My sister was hypnotized 2 or 3 months ago. She had 3 sessions, hours long each, and in a big group of people. She now eats only meat, fish, and veggies as well as a vodka or 2 with seltzer. She doesn't crave sweets or carbs of any kind and doesn't do regular exercise, just her normal daily activities. She has dropped…

New Beginning
I have not been very successful in following a calorie restricted plan with a balance of exercise for a few months. As a result I have gained weight. No scale at home but I know it's in the area of 10 lbs by how my clothes fit. Today is a fresh start! Anyone care to join me in a new beginning? The key for me will be the…

Exercise and how it affects your numbers
I'm glad I located this group so I could see a discussion on the effects of exercise. Yesterday I went to the movies and had a monster un-buttered popcorn. You know the kind, with the free refill. In order to eat some homemade soup for supper, I needed to get more exercise into my day and balance things out. So before…

What are the biggest calorie items in your diary?
SometimesI look over my diary and smile or wince when I see the calorie count on some of my foods. I smile for the calories in my complex high protein breakfast oatmeal. Then I wince when I see what 2 servings of Cape Cod reduced-fat potato chips steal. What are you seeing in your diary? Are you stealing some extra candy?…

I've Stopped......
.... weighing myself! I was frustrated with the lack of change in my scale so I've decided to ignore it. Haven't weighed myself in a couple of weeks. I may be of a different mindset from other folks though. While losing weight is a long range goal, the real deal is keeping a healthy balance of calories in and calories out.…

Finding the balance
I find it hard to plan for exercise that may or may not happen as I'd hoped because of changes in plans. That's where the balance problem arises. Every day I start the 1250 calorie day with a big healthy whole grain and protein breakfast. Even have some chocolate chips in it to help my soul. It does take up a lot of my…

Winter months are great for savory soups. Please share any of the low cal soups you like to make or buy that can really satisfy your hunger and fill your quota of protein and veggies. I like that you can freeze them as well. My latest soup contains: chicken thigh meat onions celery carrots small white beans italian green…

What's Harder - Work Days or Days Off?
I have been on school vacation since the 23rd and will return on Jan 3rd. On school days, I eat a complex breakfast cereal and a small chef salad made by the school chefs. There's rarely a snack and if so it's an apple or orange. I get home at supper time and make a healthy dinner. That plan is a good routine for me. On…

How Long Will You Stick With It?
I have been here at MFP since Sept. 29th and with the exception of the freak power outage in the whole northeast US, I have logged in every day and stayed with it. :drinker: This is pretty remarkable for me! Other attempts at dieting or controlling my eating habits have failed. This one is still going strong. I know my…

Are You Still Hungry?
One of the best parts about this program has been that over time, I am less hungry with fewer cravings. Let's see now, it's been just over 6 weeks. I have to check as we had a power failure including interrupted ATT wireless service so I couldn't log in for a day and the counter clock resets if you miss a day. Are you as…

shoveling snow
This topic has been raised before but I'm not satisfied with the database reply. There are huge differences in shoveling snow depending on the moisture content. If we are talking the light and fluffy kind then yes, 270calories/30 min. of shoveling. On the other hand if it's snowman weight snow, then the calories burned are…

What are some quick, healthy, and satisfying lunch ideas? I will be on the go tomorrow and need to grab something to bring along for lunch. I try to keep lunch around 400 calories or so.
