95 calorie "Reese's" PB Cup Egg!
So if you guys are anything like me, you can't resist Reese's PB cups...and for some reason, I always seem to want them the most around Easter time, when they have their egg shapes out. Maybe it's because it was always one of my favorite easter basket treats as a kid. Anyways, I've really been craving one, but don't really…

3rd-Shifters - Diary Settings!
Hey guys - I just started working 3rd shift (11pm-7am) a few weeks ago at the hospital, and I was wondering how all of you 3rd shifters log your food. I currently have it set up to log starting with my midnight snack when I am at work, and go through to the following nights dinner around 7pm. I was thinking I should still…

Is he immature or am I being too picky?
OK guys, so I've been seeing a guy for about 6 weeks. We met on match.com last February and became Facebook friends, as I was hesitant about meeting him for timing reasons and some concerns about little jokes he'd make (slightly perverted). Anyways, he did seem like a really nice guy and we want the same things, so I…

Things Not to Say When You're on a Dating Site
So I saw a couple things today that made me think...what are some things you've seen people say that they probably shouldn't mention, or maybe should find a different way to say it? For example, today I get a "wink" from a guy, I go to his profile and he has a disclaimer: "Sorry about the bad pictures, I don't ever smile…

Go on date, or just forget it?
So about 2 weeks ago I met a guy on match. He was the "singled out just for you!" guy, hehe. Anyways, he looked handsome, and his profile was well-written, however not a ton in common, seemingly (he comes across a little self-centered, little bit of a workaholic, although there is nothing wrong with ambition, I like that),…

GREAT first date, now what? :)
I had a great first date with a guy the other night. I feel like I did it right this time - not investing too much time communicating beforehand - we emailed a couple times, things seemed good so we decided to meet. We met at 5:30 for happy hour and before we knew it, the restaurant was closing! (11pm). Conversation…

Tips for dealing with rejection?
I've been....ugh....dumped lol. I wasn't "lol'ing" yesterday, or even earlier today. I am still not, really...but I am definitely making progress. My question for you guys is, if you've been dumped/rejected/whatever word you prefer, by someone you thought you were happy with (and that they were happy with you), you thought…

Servings Per Container - incorrect sometimes??
So I just microwaved one of those steam-in-bag spinaches, and I look at the bag, and the serving size is 1 cup, (4 servings per package, so 4 cups total). I use a measuring cup to portion out exactly 1 cup, and there definitely is NOT 3 cups worth left - maybe 1.5 at most... Same thing happened with canned peaches (serving…

Ex-BF dilemma of the day lol
OK - so yesterday's issue was solved. Actually ended up having a decent conversation with him, and he agreed that not being friends on FB was best for the time being. He blocked me. I am fine with it, in fact, I am glad. Here is the current dilemma: Over the weekend while having a girls night, one of the girls was browsing…

Breaking up STINKS!!!
Why is it that someone annoys the daylights out of you to the point where you're so unhappy for weeks, you lose attraction to them, you're nit-picking & arguing, disagreeing about everything, all of a sudden don't want to spend any time with them, so you break up with them because it's for the best, but as soon as you do,…

Exercise Calories question
Hey everyone! I had a question about exercise calories...are we supposed to be eating them back or does that not matter? I'm on a 1200 calorie a day plan. I exercised 280 calories today (making my total 1480), and after all my meals were logged, I was 9 calories short of 1200 for a total of 1,191. I'm not hungry, and I…

Hey everyone! Well, I just completed my first week and I have to say I am LOVING it!!! It amazes me how much tracking your calories and being accountable really makes a difference!

Insomnia from eating too little?
Hi guys - I was wondering if anyone has experienced any sleep problems that they can attribute to too few calories? Or maybe it is because I am trying to be done with all my meals by 8pm, so when I stay up until say, 11 or 12, I am hungry again? Should I be eating my last snack a little bit later on nights I am staying up…

Is he coming on too strong??
Hey guys - so I was recently the dumpee in a breakup. It wasn't a long relationship, but being dumped and the sting of rejection hit me pretty hard. My instinct after a couple of weeks was to reactivate my match.com profile. I don't think my heart was 100% in it, but I did receive messages from a couple guys who piqued my…
