100 grams of Chicken Breast - A poll
I am just wondering if anyone else is amazed how much chicken breast you get in 100 gram (3.5 oz approxiamte) serving. That was our protein last night and my husband (who is a big guy) could barely get it all down. I think he thought I was doubling portions on him. I showed him (using a pre-portioned snack item) that in…

Picking yourself up after slipping
I fell asleep on the couch last night - woke up after my bedtime, and mindlessly started eating chips, chocolate, and anything else that I could. Emotional eating, tired eating, not sure.

My journey and what to prepare yourself for...
I just joined myfitnesspal a few days ago. I lost an incredible amount of weight over the course of 2 years - 130 lbs reaching 125 lbs (I'm 5'6"). I did this by no crazy method - there was no way I was going to PAY a weight loss company to help ME lose weight. I cut calories to 1400-1500/day, I worked out - 30 mins of…
