Anybody freeze eggs?
Do you freeze your eggs after you cook them? What I usually do is cook eggs in a little bit of olive oil spray, cook till they are still a bit runny, and let them cool, and wrap two at a time in wax paper, and freeze. Problem is, they don't taste nearly as good that way, after I let them thaw, and microwave of course. You…

Preplanned meals
I've decided that I cannot do OMAD unless I have my dinner already prepared. By the time I get home from work. I'm so ravenous, and ready to tear into a bag of chips, or candy, or whatever is on hand that doesn't have to be prepared. Anyone else had this problem? What did you do about it? Frozen dinners? Cook and freeze?

The best microwavable frozen meal?
I'm telling you straight guys. We live with my daughter and her friends, so it's a full house, and I have very limited use of the kitchen. If I'm going to do this thing, I need to have microwavable meals, and food that don't require the oven or burners. Also, I don't want to "hog" up the kitchen, cooking dinner every…

Bored at lunch
I'm trying my dangdest to do this OMAD woe. I love knowing that I can eat one big meal at night, but it's lunch at the office in the break room that I'm having trouble with. Talking with the guys, watching them eat, and I'm sitting there like a puppy with sad eyes. Do any of y'all relate to this?

OMAD ?'s
I'm having trouble at lunch when I'm in the break room. I'm used to eating, and it feels funny to just sit there. I want my one meal to be at night. What do you guys Do? Have you had that problem with OMAD?

Trying Omad
Hello everyone. I would like to try this WOE, but I'm confused on what you can eat. I know you still have to watch calories, but what is everyone eating. I'm quite fond of carbs, and I would love to know I can eat cereal and things like that, instead of tofu salads, and carrot sticks with hummus. Thanks guys, for any…

Intense sugar cravings at night!
If you guys ever had cravings for sweets in the evening, how do you get pass them? Last night I was determined to fight the temptation, so I went to bed early. I've tried eating low carb during the day, but that doesn't really help. I usually crave a pack of donuts, cause of the instant feel good pick me up that it gives…

Good tasting protein shakes?
Could you guys recommend a good tasting protein shake without a ton of sugar, or sucrose, which give me headaches? I thought it may have been a placebo effect, until I realized some flavored water I was drinking had sucrose. I love the slim fast French vanilla, but due to all the sugar, they just make me hungrier, and the…

Where are the food diaries?
I'm back again. I fell off the wagon, and it crashed and burned! I was a fool to think I didn't need this site. I need support now more than ever. I'm having bad cravings in the evening. It makes me feel good to eat carbs like donuts, coke, etc. I'm guessing it gives me a high like people that are on drugs. I dunno. Where…

anyone else eating mostly carbs?
I'm struggling, I mean really struggling with cravings. Do any of you just eat mainly simple carbs, like for example, a big bowl of frosted flakes with whole or 2% milk for dinner, or fried chicken with real mashed potatoes and gravy and a biscuit and a glass of sweet tea? I would rather have a smaller portion of good food…

I like chicken....chicken's good!
I can literally chow down on chicken, the whole thing, except the bones and cartilage. I am especially fond of chicken legs and chicken livers. Not only are they delish, but cheap too. I put them in the crock pot with nothing but garlic and onion powder, and water. I guess my question is, what is the latest news on…

I've never seen a persons daily meal include junk food.
I've heard so many people claim that they eat whatever they want, as long as they stay within their calorie limit, but I've never actually seen a sample diet that included junk food, i.e, cookies, chips, etc. Do any of you guys diaries include junk? The reason I'm asking, is because I find it really hard to stay on a diet…

People shoving food in your face...ugh!
This is why I hate going out to friends houses. They've made this wonderful new dish that you just have to try! You don't want to be rude and refuse, but you know that if you have a problem with moderation after taking a bite of something delicious, it's hard not to overeat. We are going to a Halloween party friday night,…

Question for ladies over 40
I'm 42, and I'm pretty sure I'm going through early menopause. Even though I haven't experienced hot flashes, a lot of other symptoms are present. I find it harder than ever to resist the sweets and high carb foods. Has this been a problem for you all? What have you guys done to help with this? It's like an irresistible…

Back again and got a few questions. Please help!
Hi! I'm back after falling off the wagon again and being in denial that I don't help. I can't do this alone. Do you guys know where I can read peoples weight loss stories about how they lost weight, what they ate, did they give up a certain food group, or just ate in a calorie deficit. I've been reading about this Dr. Axe…

? for women over 40 who have lost weight
Hate to be so blunt, but, do you look good naked? What I mean is, do you have a lot of cellulite? I'm 42 and I'm just curious if the cellulite will come off too. I know women celebrities over 40 look great, but they probably have liposuction. Thanks for any answers.

Jillian Michaels Wii workout
I just bought a Jillian Michaels workout Wii and a balance board. Has anyone done this? Did it help you? I'm just curious.

building muscle and toning up your abdomen
I still have a bit to lose on my stomach area, but I've heard that in order to tighten your stomach and not have that "loose skin" look after weight loss, I need to do strength training. What would be the best way to strength train your stomach? Pilates?

over 40 crowd...do you still huff and puff after exercising?
I'm 42 and even though I'm losing weight I still have a bit to go. Does the huffing and puffing and not catching breath get easier while losing for you? Just curious. I want more energy.

starvation mode
I'm not trying to vent, but I'm getting so tired of this "starvation mode" myth. I wish people would remember those commercials with the starving kids in Africa. Do they look fat? People chiming in on things they don't know to be true really irritates me.
-
exactly what did you eat?
I came on the success story board hoping to learn exactly how people lost weight. I mean, did you just eat whatever you wanted but less of it, or did you cut carbs way down. I don't see anybody's exact diet on here. Is there another thread about it? I still kinda new to MFP. This issue has been the only thing that confuses…

I'm back after 50lb gain. UUGGHH!
Hi everyone. I deserted MFP and let stress get to me. I'm feeling kinda down on myself. I can't believe I let myself gain back 50lbs. Especially when I knew how hard it would be to lose it again. Anyways, I need you guys support now more than ever, and it feels good to be back on here. I only posted head shots of myself…

Saturated fat, eat or don't eat?
once again, confused about all of the contradicting advice. Do any of you know if it is ok, healthwise, to be eating saturated fat, or do you just need to avoid trans fats? I'm over 40 now, and pretty much everyone in my family has diabetes. I did not have it as of 5 years ago when my son was born, but I would like to try…

152 g of protein? How on earth?
according to some of you folks on here, I'm supposed to eat .8 grams of protein per 1lb. of body weight. I calculated it, and came out to 152 g of protein? That's a lot of protein, I mean, when there is only a few grams of it in one egg, and the highest being from meat, but geez, I'd have to eat a whole chicken to meet…

how did YOU prove people wrong?
first of all, I dislike people that think they know everything about everything and they really don't know jack crap. Sooo, how did you prove that to whoever? For me, it was when my SIL told me that the reason I wasn't losing weight was because I ate so late at night. I hated that comment because I knew she was wrong ,…

IIFYM and protein recommendation
According to the IIFYM website, after using the calculator, it says to have 190 grams of protein a day. That seems like too much to me. I don't know, I'm not an expert. What do you guys think? I'm 5'3", female, 190lbs, and I excercise 5 times a week with 30 min walking and 20 min of Wii Zumba for a total calorie burn of…

eating WHATEVER I want but not getting full
ok, so I know that as long as you have a calorie deficit, you will lose weight. Here's the problem. I cannot get full on the meals that I really love to eat, so it's a problem eating WHATEVER I want. For instance, this is what I feel like having today. Breakfast= coffee with cream and sweetnlow, eggs and cheese, grits, and…
