Check-in
I've noticed my success is directly linked to my involvement on MFP. I think it's time to remind myself what I've been through, and maybe it will help others. I had RnY in 2006, and went from over 300lbs to 178lbs - that was my lowest. It was REALLY hard to stay there, and I settled around 185/190. That weight felt good. I…

Do you use the fitness apps to help?
I've been able to sustain a streak on MFP that has lasted more than a week, and I think part of it is the Fitbit and Map My Fitness apps feeding into my daily totals. In the past, I would focus on only eating the 1200 calories, and it would drive me crazy! Now the other apps help me see the positive in my exercise. By…

Back on the track!
After a week at a long convention, I was bad. Really bad! So bad I just stopped counting the calories, because I was scared to know. However, that's behind me, and today it's a new ballgame! Here's to not dropping the ball, and moving forward once more :-)

Does the silence bother you too?
I wouldn't change having had the bypass, but does it bother anyone else when you're out to dinner with friends, and you finish your food so much faster than the rest? What do you do to fill the silence as they're all munching away oblivious to your frustration?? Though, that may be just me ;-)

Cooking in a toaster oven?
I'm going out of town for work in a few days for almost two weeks. Staying in a hotel with a cooktop & toaster oven (yay) and that means I don't have to eat out every night. Does anyone have some good tasing, low calorie, easy-to-cook at 7pm recipes they'd like to share?

Overdue intro...
I signed up a few months ago, been here religiously a few weeks now, really trying to lose a few pounds. I had gastric bypass in 2006, lost 120 lbs, then gained back 25lbs. I knew I'd gain back some, but now it's time to start losing again. I've found MFP really helps, so thought I'd get more involved in the message boards…

Noodles & Company pasta?
Does anyone know how many calories I can subtract from my Med Salad w/chicken breast if I ask them to hold the pasta? It seems like one of the choices that would be smarter for me and I'm not supposed to be eating a lot of pasta anyway. I can't find the information in the database...
